The difference is the leaders of DOD and DOJ resisted him. If he gets re-elected again I’m not so sure they will be able to do so a second time. It’s not some low chance scenario that the Republicans nominate Trump and the Dems nominate some far left progressive. Should that happen the chances the US falls into totalitarianism is not insignificant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The '16 on that flag refers to 1916 and that's a young Heinrich Himmler. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watergate got so yuge because dozens of Republican members of Congress publicly turned against the president. By my count there are only two such Republicans now and one literally has no balls. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that aspect yes.........the GOP of 1970's wasn't a cult led bunch of droolers ............so from getting political backing from republicans, they will do whatever to tamp this down..................but the legal realities could be bigger than anything Nixon tried & did, this could involved sitting members of the republican house Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

818SUDSFan Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 What "legal realities?" The PRACTICAL reality is that there are only a handful of Republicans who will do anything to push for criminal action against Trump. Liz Cheney, Adam Kinzinger, Mitt Romney and somebody named Whothehellelse. We Americans who actually care about our country are GD fortunate we live in the US. If we instead lived in ~25% of the countries of the world, Trump would have pulled off a coup and would be running the government this very day. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortunately the military didn't go along with trumps coup attempt and it seems the DOJ took a stand - Still the legal reality is: trump attempted a soft coup at minimum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the article: Quote Mr. Trump did not name the lawmakers, but at other points during the call, he mentioned Representative Jim Jordan of Ohio, whom he described as a “fighter”; Representative Scott Perry of Pennsylvania, who at the time promoted the idea that the election was stolen from Mr. Trump; and Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, whom Mr. Trump praised for “getting to bottom of things.” Quote I'm a desperate man Send lawyers, guns, and money The shit has hit the fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
