20. An attempted coup

Fri Aug 6, 2021, 11:38 AM

Aug 2021

During which the Republican Party and its House and Senate members were complicit. Not all but a large enough contingent to provide inside help and assistance in overturning the US government.

These are seditionists and they all belong in jail for a very long time!

Not to investigate and charge is an invitation to a redo.

Nancy Pelosi is the Boss. to her and our Democratic Reps, men and women who still believe in our democratic Republic. We owe them a lot.
