Republicans are bad. Mm’kay.

It is such a silly scenario it basically boils down to mister makey just saying something is bad and no tangible explication why.

so with GOP having house and the Democrats needing to convince Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema over the next 2 years will be interesting if Warnock loses

If Warnock loses again, you mean.

Doesn't really matter. Even if Warnock loses (spoiler: he won't), they will still have the votes to confirm liberal or even progressive judges and Biden's cabinet picks - Manchin and Sinema have never had a problem with those. And since the House would put a stop to any bigger Biden legislation, considerations like abolishing the filibuster should have gone out of the window anyway.

The major difference between a 50:50 and a 51:49 Senate is that Democrats would gain control of all committees (especially judiciary). Currently, there is parity in these committees which allows the GOP to slow down the process, particularly when it comes to the confirmation of federal judges. But that's stuff no low propensity voter will know or care about.

Yes, he did. He attempted a self-coup, as he was voted out of office and he used his power as president to try to remain in power. The "he hasn't been charged with attempting a coup" argument is extremely stupid... people don't have to be charged with a particular statute to be guilty of participating in something. Most of the violent nutters from Jan. 6th haven't been charged with participating in an insurrection... but we can all go look up the definition and realize what happened on Jan. 6th was an insurrection.

But the sentiment in your post is reason why the threat to democracy is still significant. "Normie" Republicans like yourself either minimize the coup or pretend there wasn't a coup. An American president who attempted a self-coup could go on to win another term because even "normie" Republicans are kind of extreme.

why would he be guilty of what you just confessed is in his power to do

sorry the judicial system actually cares about the law and not your braindead fever dreams

Among Trump's numerous actions to attempt a self-coup, there may have been a criminal violation. The GA SoS call, the fake elector scheme, Jan 6th, etc. But I don't think the coup definition hinges on the illegality of actions. Trump lost. He then attempted to hold onto power through several actions he took. It's not complicated.

I love this argument. By definition every BLM riot was an insurrection. Please don’t go there bro



But seriously I want you to explain what was worse. 1/6/21 or 5/29/20. We should discuss these two in comparison.

Can't lie, these people only see what they want. IceMage has always been like this.

Nobody on this forum has ever acknowledged the 5/29 insurrection when I bring it up, I doubt they know anything about it besides the fake story about a peaceful protest.
