[Marius25]

2. Trump just withdrew is endorsement of Brooks for Senate

so now Brooks is flipping on him.

5. It didn't take long, did it?

Is there a Mafia term for this type of revenge?

Now, which one?

[barbaraann]

28. I might have to go with #2.

Thanks for the research!

[lagomorph777]

13. Wow. Did DOJ get to him?

Is DOJ looking into the coup plot?

[Achilleaze]

3. d'oh

Honorable Americans figured out the wholesale Republican treason long ago.

Thanks, though Mo, for adding to the heap of corrupt Republican evil shit that went down...

[madaboutharry]

4. Why would Trump think Mo Brooks had that kind of power?

[gratuitous]

11. Because he's ot-nay oo-tay ight-bray?

If you know what I mean. The bigger puzzler for me is why so many groveling sycophants out there do their utmost to futilely deliver on the former guy's grandiose and clueless boasts.

[FakeNoose]

22. Pence, McConnell, and just about everyone else already said no

It was down to Mo Brooks, who was too dumb to hang up the phone.

6. How far down the rabbit hole are we?

Because this is absolutely a massive deal. Trump asked a sitting member of Congress to overthrow our government. In any other era, this would be the type of thing that they'd break into Daytime TV with a special bulletin. An attempted coup, proof of it, is the biggest story in the history of our Democracy. Of course, this will just be a blip, because Republicans have successfully normalized fascism.

23. We saw Brooks trying to do it, on live TV.

Not news that he did it, but news that he acknowledges it.

[Wednesdays]

32. What IS news

is that we now have a prime eyewitness to TFG's treason!

[lagomorph777]

33. Yes!

[lame54]

7. Remove Biden from the Whitehouse?...

When did he ask him?
Even when they confess they lie

[Grasswire2]

14. yes, we need to know WHEN this occurred.

very important point that Brooks left out.

[agingdem]

20. but that sounds like Trump...

his stupidity is boundless..

[obamanut2012]

8. Any other source?

Can't find this.

10. from Brooks' official campaign website

President Trump asked me to rescind the 2020 elections, immediately remove Joe Biden from the White House, immediately put President Trump back in the White House, and hold a new special election for the presidency. As a lawyer, I’ve repeatedly advised President Trump that January 6 was the final election contest verdict and neither the U.S. Constitution nor the U.S. Code permit what President Trump asks. Period.

12. Now that's what I call payback!

30. +1

He will never ever spend a second in custody

[Evolve Dammit]

26. Witness for the sedition and conspiracy trial of Donald J. Drumpf. How about it?

[Crunchy Frog]

29. How would he think that a House member would have the ability

to rescind a presidential election?

Am I missing something?

[CelticCrow]

31. LOL

He asked Kid Rock for policy advice on Islamic State and North Korea... you really have to ask that question?

Unfortunately we are waaaay down the rabbit hole.
