As I sit and reflect on the recent revelations about former President Trump from General Mark Milley, I am left with a mix of emotions. To hear such damning statements about a former commander-in-chief from a top military official is both shocking and unsettling. The fact that those who were closest to him, who worked alongside him in the highest positions of power, now publicly denounce him as a fascist and the most dangerous person to this country speaks volumes.
It’s alarming to think that someone with so much influence and authority could be viewed in such a negative light by those who know him best.… Continue reading
Roger Stone – a name that continues to surface in the dark underbelly of American politics. The very mention of his name sends chills down the spines of those who have witnessed his nefarious deeds over the years. The recent revelation of a damning video showing Stone plotting a coup for November is just another chapter in his saga of treachery and deceit.
It’s sickening to think that a man like Roger Stone, who should have been behind bars long ago, is still free to roam and scheme against the very democracy that millions of Americans hold dear. The fact that he was pardoned by the same man who attempted to overthrow the government speaks volumes about the state of our justice system.… Continue reading
The US Supreme Court has just completed what can only be described as Trump’s attempted coup on January 6th. The ruling concerning Presidential immunity has sent shockwaves through the nation, with many seeing the decision as a clear sign of the Supreme Court justices acting as accomplices in Trump’s dangerous power play. It’s no secret that the whole strategy over the past four years was to find weaknesses in the judicial system, oppose any actions taken by Biden, and pave the way for a Trump comeback with even more authority to commit crimes.
It’s a diabolically clever plan that seems to be working, and frankly, it’s sickening.… Continue reading
What a strange turn of events for a young American to find himself embroiled in a failed coup attempt in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The family of this boy claims he went to Africa on vacation, but how does one go from sightseeing to participating in such a dangerous and unprecedented situation? It’s a head-scratcher for sure. The mother’s comment that this kind of activity is completely out of character for her son only adds to the air of mystery surrounding the incident.
One can’t help but wonder what possessed this 21-year-old white boy from Utah to get involved in something as risky and bizarre as a coup in a country like the DRC.… Continue reading
This whole King Trump thing is getting awfully literal. The idea of a president attempting to overturn an election he lost and summoning a mob to subvert the peaceful transfer of power is not a joke. The absurdity of the situation is highlighted by the fact that Trump has actually asked the Supreme Court if he is, effectively, a king. The thought of a president attempting a coup is not only alarming but also a regression back to a time when kings were not above the law, as seen in a 1645 precedent and even violating the spirit of Magna Carta from 1215.… Continue reading
As I sit back and ponder the implications of the recent oral arguments before the Supreme Court, where the question of presidential immunity after ordering a coup was raised, I am left with a sense of disbelief and concern. The very notion that a sitting or former president could be immune to criminal prosecution unless impeached and convicted by Congress is not only absurd but also profoundly troubling. The arguments put forth by the petitioner’s lawyer, suggesting that a president can only be charged with a crime if specifically mentioned in a law or that the president can be immune from prosecution for all official acts, seem more like a page out of a dystopian novel rather than a credible legal defense.… Continue reading
As the President of Chad, the news of a coup attempt underway, with the military heading towards the presidential headquarters, hits hard. It feels like a déjà vu moment following the events of 2021 when the military seized power after my predecessor and father, Idriss Deby, passed away in combat. The military then installed me as the new leader, continuing a legacy of non-democratic transitions of power that have plagued our country for decades.
It is disheartening to witness the cycle of coups and political instability that seems to have gripped the African continent. The lack of democratic processes and the prevalence of military takeovers paint a grim picture for the future of governance in Chad.… Continue reading
Belarusian dissidents have confirmed their plan to execute a coup against Belarus leader Alexander Lukashenko. While the desire for change and the removal of an oppressive regime is understandable, the public announcement of such a plan raises significant concerns. The element of surprise is essential in any coup attempt, and by making their intentions known, the dissidents have potentially put themselves at a severe disadvantage.
It is evident from the reactions of many that the decision to publicly announce the coup plan is perplexing. Successful coups are executed swiftly and quietly to prevent the opposition from rallying their forces or seeking outside intervention.… Continue reading
Republican Senator Says He’d Totally Do a Coup if He Gets the Chance
As I read through the various comments and reactions to the statement made by the Republican Senator, I am left in shock and disbelief. How can someone in a position of power openly express their willingness to commit a coup without facing any consequences? It is a clear violation of our democratic principles and an affront to the Constitution they are supposed to uphold.
This is not the first time we have witnessed such alarming statements from politicians, who seem to prioritize power and wealth over the well-being of the country and its citizens.… Continue reading
