Coup in the USA?

[Khamon]

The faithful won't require much errant suggestion to start a "Trump for President of Texas" bonfire. They'll be easily convinced that some of the neighboring states will join the Texfederacy. The bots might even seed the idea of conquering and annexing Mexico to populate the necessary service positions. Put it out there. They're biting today.

So, here is the thing, I think the GOP in Texas is trying this, or wanting to try this because they are losing Texas. The down side of all those companies moving in is they are making the state more progressive.

Monster Moustache is back, this time: the race on Capitol was no coup. I should know, because I was involved in several coups, and it takes a lot of planning and work.

Or in other words: Trump is too dumb to run a coup.

I would think that she ought to be able to get in touch with the committee directly, considering who he ex is and that he's obviously a person of interest....

Homeland Security watchdog halted plan to recover Secret Service texts, records show

The Homeland Security watchdog came up with a plan to recover text messages exchanged around the time of the Jan. 6, 2021, siege on the Capitol, and then abandoned it.

www.pressherald.com

The Department of Homeland Security’s chief watchdog scrapped its investigative team’s effort to collect agency phones to try to recover deleted Secret Service texts this year, according to four people with knowledge of the decision and internal records reviewed by The Washington Post.

In early February, after learning that the Secret Service’s text messages had been erased as part of a migration to new devices, staff at Inspector General Joseph V. Cuffari’s office planned to contact all DHS agencies offering to have data specialists help retrieve messages from their phones, according to two government whistleblowers who provided reports to Congress.

But later that month, Cuffari’s office decided it would not collect or review any agency phones, according to three people briefed on the decision.

As somebody who has helped plan coup d’etat, not here, but other places, it takes a lot of work.

...the invitations, the choice of uniforms, beer hall rental and catering, flags, press announcements, transportation for the mobs, props, social media launches, eLawyers, fundraising, slush funds, putsch licensing fees, new suits and dresses for the leadership, dry cleaning, press appearances, hiring hostile foreign leadership for a suitable distraction (even North Korean saber rattling costs money and you can't always count on the Israelis to kill the "right" people), appearance fees, Evangelical rental, grassroots organizing, outrage prep and scheduling, fake news preparation, mapping strategies for raiding public funds, Trump endorsement fees ... yes, coup planning can be exhausting

FBI delivers subpoenas to several Pa. Republican lawmakers: sources say

While official spokesman for the House and Senate leaders declined to confirm that subpoenas were received, other sources familiar with the situation said the subpoenas center around U.S. Scott Perry, R-Pa., and his involvement with the Stop the Steal movement.

Federal investigators delivered subpoenas or paid visits to several House and Senate Republican offices in the Pennsylvania Capitol on Tuesday and Wednesday, according to multiple sources.

At least some of the individuals receiving subpoenas were told they were not targets of an investigation, according to at least six sources reached by PennLive, but that they may have information of interest to the FBI. All of the sources had been briefed on the investigative moves in some way, but demanded anonymity in order to discuss them.

The information being requested centered around U.S. Rep. Scott Perry, R-Pa., and the effort to seek alternate electors as part of former President Donald Trump’s efforts to remain in office after the 2020 election, several sources said.

The sad part here is that a number of the people who refused to help Trump commit a coup will now have been removed and replaced by those who will.

This exactly. Like, people were getting upset about people being upset that Cheney lost her primary, and I pointed out, at least she is fighting the big lie, instead of pushing it; its not like the seat will turn blue [though it might - the world's gone crazy]
