Lara Hollis at Creators calls The Left's Coup Is the Overthrow of Truth.
This week, The Atlantic published a series of articles that tell us how Donald Trump is poised to destroy our democracy (again!). One is titled, "Trump's next coup has already begun."
Did you catch that? If you're sane, you might find yourself asking, "Wait, when was the last one?" After all, a "coup," according to the Oxford Dictionary online, is a "sudden, violent and illegal seizure of power from a government." Merriam-Webster informs the reader that the word comes from the French term, "coup d'etat," which means a "sudden and violent overthrow of a government" (often, though not always, by the military).
So, when was our government overthrown by Trump? The answer, of course, is that it wasn't — ever.
The hyperventilating author of this piece, Barton Gellman, is referencing the protesters (and others) who got into the Capitol on Jan. 6, an event that he claims "sent members of Congress fleeing for their lives." Calling this a "coup" takes exaggeration to new extremes. Until recently, the most common appellation given to the Jan. 6 event was "insurrection" and even that is hyperbole bordering on hysteria.
CNBC, NYC lawmakers pass bill giving noncitizens right to vote in local elections. It's such a stupid idea, they just had to do it.
Dan Chaitin at WaEx, Meadows reveals ‘short list’ in hunt for Trump bunker story leaker
Meadows was not in Washington, D.C., when the trip to the bunker happened. He traveled to Atlanta for his daughter's wedding . But Meadows said he would "deal with it" once he got back into town.
"To this day I do not know how this information got out, but I have my suspicions and it's a short list. I have no doubt that it was leaked by someone who had every intention of hurting the president," he acknowledges.
Meadows notes how everyone has a "theory" about the leak's origins. "If I had to bet, I would say that it was probably Stephanie Grisham, Emma Doyle, or someone from the VP's team."
At the time, Grisham had recently stepped down as White House press secretary but remained chief of staff to first lady Melania Trump, and Doyle was deputy chief of staff for policy to the first lady after a stint as White House principal deputy chief of staff .
Grisham resigned from the Trump administration on Jan. 6 , when rioters stormed the Capitol complex and disrupted lawmakers as they worked to certify President Joe Biden's electoral victory. She wrote a tell-all book, I’ll Take Your Questions Now: What I Saw at the Trump White House, which was met with an embittered response by the former first lady whose office said her book uses "mistruth and betrayal" in seeking to "gain relevance and money at the expense of Mrs. Trump."
Meadows said he immediately surmised "the leaker was probably not someone with firsthand knowledge of Secret Service protocols."
He said Trump didn't have a choice as the White House entered "Code Red" with protesters jumping the fence on the Treasury Department's side of the compound, and "they were running toward the Oval Office."
"I'm sure that if President Trump had the choice, he would have headed out the lawn and knocked their heads in one by one," Meadows writes.
"But he didn't have a choice. When it comes to the United States Secret Service, no one does," he adds, noting that Trump complied after the Secret Service asked him to head downstairs to the White House bunker.
Insurrectionists.
