If I had attempted a coup and an over-throw of an election...

[kentuck]

I would lie my ass off.

I would minimize it. I would say it didn't happen. I would say it was a witch hunt.

I would admit nothing. I would say it was a peaceful rally on January 6th where a few people got out of line.

I would say the fake ballots were permitted by our Constitution. I would pretend to be a victim of the other Party. I would accuse them of destroying the lives of innocent people.

I would say that I refused to sign the Executive Order to permit the military to confiscate voting machines across the nation. I would call it "fake news".

I would attack those that might attempt to apply the rule of law to my actions. I would accuse them of attacking my children.

Then, I would have another rally to explain it to my devoted followers.

2. And rely on 40 years of GOP propaganda to make it all work

3. But at the end of the day...would you be incarcerated?

You're 100% correct; he exhibits all the attributes of a guilty man, surrounded by other guilty men and women who also carry on similarly.

This was a slow-moving, broadcast-to-the-world crime wherein guilt and innocence can almost be established with our eyeballs alone.

We're now about to find out whether our democracy can survive a Republican attack on our institutions. We can't afford to get it wrong this time.

4. That is the question.

Are some people above the law?

If the law does not apply to everyone, it applies to no one. The result will be anarchy in the streets.

It is vital that the rule of law be followed. There can be no cover-up.

5. If I was not incarcerated QUICKLY, I would take what I had learned and do it again, with

a much greater chance of success.

6. Nailed it.

7. Kick one time...

...for last night's rally, which we knew was coming soon.
