We're in a permanent coup

[August West]

This is what it looks like when a relatively sane society gets split up into two tribes. Each tribe decides its top priority is to "beat" the other tribe.

Honesty, standards rules and normal modes of behavior decay. The tribes divide themselves into different worlds, different realities. Each tribe declares the other tribe invalid. Each tribe enables the worst behaviors of its members by refusing to hold them accountable.

As much as each tribe wants to blame the other for everything, this is a choice we're making. A self-inflicted wound.

No, this is what it looks like when ONE of the two tribes turns full blown CORRUPT in their relentless pursuit for power, and the other is nothing more than a reactionary entity perpetually on defense.

Corrupt? It`s Trump`s inner circle who are in jail and Michael Flynn awaits sentencing. You`re embarrassing yourself.

Flynn was SET UP, you IGNORANT dumbass.

Flynn was set up. Cohen was set up. Manafort was set up. Trump was set up.

Pretty self righteous thread. When's last time a major Dem went to jail? If memory serves several major repubs went to jail under Bush.

I ball them together. Millions of others do too. Both repulse alot of people.

And because they exist within their separate realities and refuse to hold their own accountable, or communicate normally with the other tribe, they don't see how similar they can be in their behaviors.
.

The only thing the republicans and democrats have in common is they're both in politics, and obviously make a lot of money off that. But that's pretty much where the similarities end.

There are many similarities in behaviors, but neither tribe wants to admit it.
.

There's far more differences than similarities.

Sure, from your perspective. A left winger would say the same thing.
.

My perspective is based on the facts, unlike leftists who base their perspectives largely on emotion.

Yes, Lefties would say that about you, too.

But, I know, YOU'RE right and THEY'RE wrong about that. Your tribe as all the answers.

That's what they say.

The coup happened long ago as the two-party duopoly took over.

We're in a permanent coup
Americans might soon wish they just waited to vote their way out of the Trump era

I’ve lived through a few coups. They’re insane, random, and terrifying, like watching sports, except your political future depends on the score.

The kickoff begins when a key official decides to buck the executive. From that moment, government becomes a high-speed head-counting exercise. Who’s got the power plant, the airport, the police in the capital? How many department chiefs are answering their phones? Who’s writing tonight’s newscast?

When the KGB in 1991 tried to reassume control of the crumbling Soviet Union by placing Mikhail Gorbachev under arrest and attempting to seize Moscow, logistics ruled. Boris Yeltsin’s crew drove to the Russian White House in ordinary cars, beating KGB coup plotters who were trying to reach the seat of Russian government in armored vehicles. A key moment came when one of Yeltsin’s men, Alexander Rutskoi – who two years later would himself lead a coup against Yeltsin – prevailed upon a Major in a tank unit to defy KGB orders and turn on the “criminals.”

We have long been spared this madness in America. Our head-counting ceremony was Election Day. We did it once every four years.

That’s all over, in the Trump era.

On Thursday, news broke that two businessmen said to have “peddled supposedly explosive information about corruption involving Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden” were arrested at Dulles airport on “campaign finance violations.” The two figures are alleged to be bagmen bearing “dirt” on Democrats, solicited by Trump and his personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani.

Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman will be asked to give depositions to impeachment investigators. They’re reportedly going to refuse. Their lawyer John Dowd also says they will “refuse to appear before House Committees investigating President Donald Trump.” Fruman and Parnas meanwhile claim they had real derogatory information about Biden and other politicians, but “the U.S. government had shown little interest in receiving it through official channels.”

For Americans not familiar with the language of the Third World, that’s two contrasting denials of political legitimacy.

The men who are the proxies for Donald Trump and Rudy Giuliani in this story are asserting that “official channels” have been corrupted. The forces backing impeachment, meanwhile, are telling us those same defendants are obstructing a lawful impeachment inquiry.

This latest incident, set against the impeachment mania and the reportedly “expanding” Russiagate investigation of U.S. Attorney John Durham, accelerates our timeline to chaos. We are speeding toward a situation when someone in one of these camps refuses to obey a major decree, arrest order, or court decision, at which point Americans will get to experience the joys of their political futures being decided by phone calls to generals and police chiefs.


Not that I agree with everything but he's spot on some points

We're in a permanent coup

But when they start having mass amounts of violence at the protests then the entire country is going to start noticing. If that happens then there is going to be pressure on the president to solve it. President Obama would then declare Martial Law.

Martial Law is when the president has to suspend transfer of power due to the fact that there is a “National Emergency.” Therefore if that would happen then Trump wouldn’t be able to see the White House because Obama would still be the president of the United States. There is a good chance that this has been the back up plan for some liberals all along.

"In terms of high-end product influx into the US, Russians make up a pretty disproportionate cross-section of a lot of our assets," Donald Trump Jr. said at a New York real-estate conference that year. "Say, in Dubai, and certainly with our project in SoHo, and anywhere in New York. We see a lot of money pouring in from Russia."

Trump's oldest son said a decade ago that a lot of the family's assets came from Russia

Actually the coup started in 2008, when Putin bought tramp.

Every time you INSTANTLY believe a story the media tells you that helps "your side"...at the same time DISBELIEVE every story that is not good for "your side"
.... YOU ARE A SHEEP.

And indeed rhinos are just fake opposition
It's been discussed on the board before ...the elites of globo homo inc want us at each other's throats ...
Common sense dictates if ya can't stop it choose a side..unless the morons on the left wake up thier will be no stepping back from the edge and that's not gonna happen .....the elite are not the world's greatest planners ...murphYs law /men plan while god laughs ...I say the sons of liberty prevail.

Binary thinking feels safe. It creates a world where things are black or white. They are happening or not happening. Something is all good or it's all bad. A person who agrees with you is always right, a person who does not is always wrong.

Got to love the mentally challenged. Most of them were for things that took place under a previous administration, years ago.

Not sure when it started... I remember during the Iraq War round 2 when GW was President and several of the media outlets did the "DAY XXX, DEAD ###"... and then to the day Obama was elected = they all stopped. The Pink Ladies suddenly disappeared, large anti-war protests all over the nation dwindled to nothing. The news stopped the controversial "coffins coming out of plane" shots.

just like that. It was as if the war ended.

I think that is when it all started getting radically bad.

Obama wasn`t the guy who lied his way into Iraq. That`s why the protests stopped. DUH!

Is that Glen Beck, man he has sure let himself go, is he drinking again. Tramp is dependent on Russia, then and now.

Flynn was set up. Cohen was set up. Manafort was set up. Trump was set up.

Yeah, Flynn was set up, told he didn’t need a lawyer. He still hasn’t been sentenced. FBI agent’s have even said he didn’t actually lie. Wonder why...
Funny how Manafort was charged with crimes, but Tony Podesta wasn’t charged, yet he and Manafort worked together. Tony was given immunity. Interesting, Hillary’s and Obama’s man’s brother is given immunity for doing the same thing, isn’t it...

Meanwhile, one side cheers the prospects of people with pre-existing conditions being denied health coverage...

One side cheers the idea of cutting Social Security and Medicare while carving out special tax credits for golf course and private jet owners just because that side's cult leader owns those...

One side continuously tries to "otherize" anyone who disagrees with them as evil, the enemy, they openly opine about shooting them, the person who is the so-called leader of that side openly calls for violence to be done to opponents

But instead of dealing with that fact -- it just makes others feel better to just say "both sides do it"

Just a week ago -- one side decided to give Ed Meese a medal of freedom.....this is not a both sides do it situation because one side constantly has to explain why they continue to nominate people that they later hate whenever the next election cycle comes around
