Russian state tv accuses CIA of planning "a coup" against Trump, accuses NYT of being "in front row" of those wanting to overthrow him

Trump/Russian TV talk the same talk. Both claim that people who said Moscow interfered in election said Iraq had WMDs; & both condemn NYT.

The US/Russia/hacking story is useful for Moscow domestically: can contrast discord in US with ‘stability’ at home (ahead of 2018 election)

Russian state TV wonders why in the US Trump is being called 'The Siberian Candidate'. Concludes that Siberia sounds like 'cyber'.

Russian state TV predicts a "Coloured Revolution" in US, says it already has its own colour: violet (to match Hillary Clinton's clothes)

To sum up Russian TV's news: Aleppo 'freed' (Russia helped), CIA ‘coup’ in US, ‘civil war’ danger in Poland, Ukraine corrupt, Egypt terror

1. One thing I certainly agree with...

the shit is about to hit the fan..



SELL !!!

2. They're missing WHO is trying to overthrow the Con! It's NOT the CIA, or the FBI, or the

Military as usually occurs in a coup. It's the majority of people of the US who didn't vote for him and are scared to death what horrors he might bring upon us.

5. They're conveniently ignoring that fact.

Well, they did mention we are planning a color revolution. They're obviously using Trump to sow discord over here and ...... oil.

[dixiegrrrrl]

14. But don't you see...

"the majority of people of the US who didn't vote for him and are scared to death what horrors he might bring upon us."
can also be a a handy excuse for anyone who wants to carry out a coup.
They would be doing it for "us", so surely we should not mind.

3. Fuck Russia.

4. I fear Trump will use this to do something unconstitutional

Obviously it's bullshit, but Trump trusts Russia more than Americans. And his ego and sociopathy enables him to do anything.

6. Just wait for the twitterstorm!

[octoberlib]

7. I agree.

I'm very uneasy

[napi21]

8. Honestly I hope he DOES do something unconstitutional. At least the SCOTUS would

stop him! Even with another rightie added, they're pretty solid on constitutional issues. I'm more afraid of him trying to undo the "New Deal" and all his Pubbie cohorts in crime will be thrilled to help him. THEY'VE .been trying to do that since it was enacted!

[BainsBane]

11. It takes a long time for a case to reach Scotus

It's hardly a safeguard against dangerous behavior.

The New Deal is history. His cabinet positions and GOP control of congress makes that clear. He has the potential to do far worse than overturn legislation.

9. The pragmatic side of me calls bullshit.

The conspiracy side of me calls bullshit.

I think the Ruskies and the CIA are working together - zinga!

[Bettie]

10. Oh sweet jesus I wish they were.

Seriously, anything to keep this orange nightmare from taking office and destroying well, everything.

[underthematrix]

12. Wait a minute

did they get this from ABC's TV drama Designated Survivor?

[global1]

13. The Real Coup Happened The Night Of Nov 8th...

and it wasn't against Trump - it was for Trump.

It's interesting now that the Russians and (you watch) the Trump people will use this to further cause more unrest, confusion and ultimate unravelling of the government as we know it.

15. Like russia planned a coup against America?

That kind of coup?

[AgadorSparticus]

16. Exactly Cha!!

[Cha]

18. ..

Agador~

[AgadorSparticus]

21. Back atcha!

17. What I've learned

if they are accusing you of something....they did it to you first.

[oberliner]

20. Like with farting

He who accused it fused it.

[napi21]

22. I learned that from the Con campaign the whole time he was running.

There've been quite a few things, the most obvious one being "The election is being hacked", that convinced me of that. O even remember asking people here on DU if they saw the accusations being made against the Dems all seemed to be things the Pub Party has already done. I honestly think they believe if they're doing something then everyone is.

19. Russia Today is running with those same themes
