If there's anyone who I think can prove it was a coup, it's Antonio Maria Delgado at the Miami Herald. Pay close attention to everything he writes. And see his article from October, re: VP negotiating with Trump through Qatar.

Congress should be passing a bill right now banning using military force to annex Greenland.

Trump’s been saying we should “take the oil” from other nations for decades.
Why didn’t anyone listen?

Scarborough on what Trump told him during a phone call yesterday: "Joe, the the difference between Iraq and this is that Bush didn't keep the oil. We're going to keep the oil. To underline his point, Trump said his comments were no long on background."

White House white-washing of J6 continues. This latest fails to explain that if Trump was against violence, and it was allegedly fomented by Dems and the police (I guess the police wanted to be assaulted?), how does he explain not reacting immediately to quell the violence?

No, it was a successful coup. None of the people who led it were punished, and are in fact back in power, rewarded for their efforts to break the system by running it. Donald Trump is currently the dictator he attempted to become 5 years ago, and it’s because nobody treated trying as a crime.
We must speak plainly: January 6th was an attempted coup. It was an effort to nullify millions of lawful votes and subvert the will of the American people.

my hot take is that I don't think it's this website specifically that's toxic. the Circumstances are toxic and nobody really knows what to do about it so they come online and scream. and if I may offer an alternative: actually going outside and screaming feels better.

After Venezuela operation, Trump haunted by his pardon for Honduran drug trafficker
Two Latin American strongmen were charged with drug trafficking. One was captured as part of a military raid, the other is free thanks to a Trump pardon.

Russia agreed not to intervene in Venezuela if we abandoned Ukraine, according to testimony from former Trump WH advisor Fiona Hill. So, um, yeah, Russia held up their end of that disgustingly corrupt bargain. It does not mean we "overcame Russian air defences." You pathetic piece of garbage.
