If you want to live in pretend-land where a coup is an option, I don't know what to tell you. tritsofme Nov 19 #25

Except now it is you advocating a violent overthrow of the government. tritsofme Nov 19 #33

Where? Kid Berwyn Nov 19 #35

I didn't realize this delusion extended to you thinking staging a coup wouldn't be violent. tritsofme Nov 19 #38

You said coup. I asked President Biden to use his SCrOTUS given powers. Kid Berwyn Nov 19 #39

Remember to apologize for writing I advocated violence. Kid Berwyn Nov 19 #46
