Who are the Sick Sixteen of SeppuCoup?

[ck4829]

There are 16 members who signed on from the four states under attack. Sixteen members who say the ballots from their states should be thrown out. Surely, then, these 16 members have all tendered their resignations from Congress, or have agreed not to serve in Congress until the matter is resolved. Why? Because they were on the same ballot! How could they live with themselves staying in Congress when they feel so passionately that they won a fraudulent election?

7. It is a very serious matter

You cannot pick which part of the election suits you - they were elected down ballot.

3. I give up. What the hell is Seppucoup?

Google has less than one page of results. They include two DU threads, a Lithuanian steam workshop (whatever that is), a French book report, and some game sites where people say "that was clever".

5. That would be the name I have given to this action by Texas and others

The attempt to sue to overturn the election. 106 Republicans in Congress have signed onto this.

9. It's a very clever play on words

Most Americans know the phrase hara kiri, even though they usually spell it incorrectly. Most do not know that it is a somewhat crude term. The polite term is seppuku.

So the idea is that they are committing ritual suicide by trying to overturn the duly elected government.

4. These guys even bastardize the act of seppuku

This band of traitors even defile what this means. Usually a vanquished foe commits the act to save face; these selfish and treasonous 16 cannot even get the concept right. Typical for Teabag tRump Traitors..
