Also McConnell is a dumb son of a bitch.

Press: Did you hear what he said about McConnell?

There is this attempt by GOP pols and anti-anti-Trumpers in the media to act as if the Trump/Cruz/Hawley.McCarthy coup was not a genuine attempt to overturn the election but every-time Trump speaks he reconfirms that he was in fact hoping for a genuine coup.

NOTE: This is not a QUOTE from Trump.
It is more of a synopsis of his intent
& the point I was trying to make was about the press changing the subject to McConnell

1. If we don't take it seriously, these same people will try it again

The odds are they'll be far more successful on a repeated attempt. Learn from your mistakes and all that.

It's why investigating, exposing and holding individuals accountable is so important.

As I've written repeatedly: We (the country) missed a bullet on January 6th. If these bad actors are given a second opportunity, they'll come in with the kill shot.

If Parkhomenko's tweet is accurate, Donald Trump openly admitted his participation in a treasonous act against the United States of America.

The man belongs in jail.

4. Exactly, and they will try again ... and again. What happened has to be taken extremely seriously.

And some foreign actors might be more than pleased to help them. There are so many naive people in the US ... and they voted again for this guy. A total WTF!!! And so many showed up this past weekend to shower him with money, etc. Incredible.

[Warpy]

18. Yeah, he does, but don't hold your breath expecting it to happen

because his money and his mob lawyers will keep delaying everything until he shuffles off to afterlife or oblivion, no one knows which.

He'll most likely leave a mess that will take decades to untangle.

I'm not as worried about Dumdum as I am about some of the fascists the billionaires have been grooming for years at their various alphabet soup racketeering organizations.

19. They will cause

an election mess for the Midterms of 2022. That should be our focus. Everyone needs to work like he** to keep the House and Senate. If not we will be end the Biden/Harris agenda. We must not think we don't have to work hard for the Midterms.

[peggysue2]

25. I agree

The 2022 and 2024 elections are of the utmost importance for the health of the country. The only way this cancer will be eradicated is by denying Republicans power. It's the only thing they understand: power and money. Deny them power at all levels and they will either change by purging themselves of the white nationalist/authoritarian element or the party itself will become irrelevant and die, a most deserved death.

Midterms should be the immediate focus, then right on to 2024.

Right, too--take nothing for granted.

[RKP5637]

2. And this, shouted by the EX-president of the US. Of course, many in the new GOP just see

the EX-president as a wise man, a great leader. The new GOP should really be disbanded.

3. Help us out here. Where's the evidence that Trump actually said this?

 
?

It would be quite a big deal if there were evidence that he actually said this but we would need a link that goes straight to that evidence.

[Mme. Defarge]

5. Merci!

[Towlie]

6. Lots of responding tweets to that post also ask for evidence. I think it's just a fake quote.

8. thank you. waiting.

[tblue37]

9. He strongly implies that by slamming everyone in his party who wouldn't back his

attempt to steal the election.

[peggysue2]

11. You're right

Doing a search, I found this tweet appears to be the conclusion reached, not a direct quote from the speech/rant.

Donald Trump still belongs in jail.

[C_U_L8R]

7. All those magats and proud bozos are doomed.

True quote or not, Trump sealed their fate and extended their prison sentences.
They'll never learn, will they.

[msfiddlestix]

10. Very Important Question kpete: is there an authentication for the most important quote?

This quote is a pubic confession to a serious crime IF in fact Trump actually said this.

Do you know if your source provided that evidence? Is there an audio/video recording of this? I know I heard the bit regarding his remarks on McConnell, I believe I did hear an audio recording of it somewhere. But I hadn't heard the quote excerpted below.

You’re damn right I tried to overthrow the government and I’ll do it again

[ScratchCat]

12. Lets take this slowly

"What" is going to happen again?

Nobody except Donald Trump actually believed that he could "stop" the electoral vote count by Congress. It is 100% understood that the VP can't change the vote count. It doesn't even look Constitutionally plausible for the House and Senate to overturn the election vote as certified by the States unless there were multiple sets of electors sent.

What we witnessed - a candidate trying to convince anyone who will listen, that the rules of counting the votes are not the rules of counting the votes - will never .... repeat NEVER happen again. Without Trump, none of those other idiots would have gone down that road.

[bluestarone]

22. Yea right. (you're wrong!)

With each QTHGUGLICON state legislatures changing their STATE RULES, it WILL happen! Our votes will not be worth a shit, IF they get away with it! We have to fight these states everyday!

[WHITT]

13. I Heard A Lecture

by some professor who is an expert in the history of fascism. He said what all successful fascist takeovers had in common, was previous unsuccessful attempts.

[peggysue2]

27. Ruth Ben-Ghiat has said the same thing

She uses historical examples to prove her point. Repeated attempts are frequently the charm which is why we need to take what happened on January 6th seriously.

Vigilance always.

[Towlie]

14. Okay, you edited your opening post. But how do you know one way or the other?

 
?

You started by flatly implying that he said it, now you're flatly stating that he didn't, but either way you don't supply any evidence. I think your amended version is probably true but you don't really know, so you should say as much.

[kpete]

16. what?

I would have used "...."
I really do not understand what more you are asking for???
kp

[BootinUp]

15. Trump would rather we just thank him

And colonel jessup too.

[SledDriver]

17. We are guaranteed another physical assault on the government

now that it’s clear there were no consequences for the first one.

[maxsolomon]

20. I know the Tweet is paraphrasing, but: 14th Amendment, Section 3.

No Person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.

[Justice matters.]

24. Orange mob boss doesn't follow the rules, honor any oaths.

oRange mob bo$$ only follows inner criminal gut since like 50 years or so.

Tens of thousands lawsuits. Screwed millions. Still walking out there scot-free.

Only Really cared and still only Really cares about himself and how he looks (yuk).

[UCmeNdc]

21. Trump tried to overthrow the US government. Hey, if Trump is given the chance he will try again!

It is who he is.

[bluestarone]

23. THIS i have no doubt will happen!

[bdamomma]

26. There he admitted it.

Can someone arrest this POS?
