Trump people are WRINGING their HANDS

Oh gee, it would be a little bit unpleasant if Trump staged a coup.

Got it; so do we really have to stand around looking helpless while he continues to do this? Wouldn’t it maybe be a better idea to force him to stop, say by kicking him the fuck out?

Jonathan Swan at Axios:

Senior Trump administration officials are increasingly alarmed that President Trump might unleash — and abuse — the power of government in an effort to overturn the clear result of the election.

So do something. Don’t just be alarmed; do something.

Their fears include Trump’s interest in former national security adviser Michael Flynn’s wild talk of martial law; an idea floated of an executive order to commandeer voting machines; and the specter of Sidney Powell, the conspiracy-spewing election lawyer, obtaining governmental power and a top-level security clearance.

Got it. Do something.

A senior administration official said that when Trump is “retweeting threats of putting politicians in jail, and spends his time talking to conspiracy nuts who openly say declaring martial law is no big deal, it’s impossible not to start getting anxious about how this ends.”

“People who are concerned and nervous aren’t the weak-kneed bureaucrats that we loathe,” the official added. “These are people who have endured arguably more insanity and mayhem than any administration officials in history.”

Oh shut up about loathing bureaucrats and do something to stop this evil berserk criminal.

    None of them wants to be the first to be wished into the cornfield.

    And now Trump is calling for “wild protests” in DC on January 6th, when Congress is scheduled to confirm the Electoral College vote.

    Wait I thought wild protests were a bad thing? Did I get that all wrong?

    It depends on the complexion of the protest.

    Happily, Maroon, I am guessing the wild protests will be a few hundred obese old white people. The ones that ARE armed will probably end up shooting their own genitals off.

    Brian, unless they’re throwing boomerangs rather than firing guns, the obese ones’ genitals should be well out of the line of fire.

    Trump people are WRINGING Trump’s NECK would make a far better headline.

    Oh well, as long as they’re wringing their hands with sanitiser …. oops.

    Oh, they’ve become alarmed at Trump’s naked lust for power just now? Welcome to the club, the rest of us have been alarmed for five years. Those that didn’t do anything to contain the ensuing Trump disaster have been part of the problem all this time.

    Brian,

    That’s a nice thought, but that doesn’t describe the Proud Boys who were here last week stabbing people and burning BLM banners.
