It’s so disheartening that people this dumb have made it this far.

It's a coup for the VP to take over for the President?
Would it be a coup if Biden died today and she became president? That's literally how it's supposed to happen according to the constitution.
Stupid fucking republicans.
If I say the word coup enough, it starts to lose any meaning.
— Republicans
"I'm really hungry today. I think I'll get a coup d'etat burger and fries, please"
"would you like that with or without felony conviction sauce?"
That's exactly it. They want it normalized and watered down. It's the same projection they use constantly.
No, no, it’s supposed to happen by violent insurrection during the certification of the election and by violently hanging the vice president in front of the Capitol building!
/s, obviously
Projection
This brought to you by the asshole who gave us Jan 6th.
They're trying to launder out the word 'coup' so it can't be used to describe their insurrection.
In a similar fashion, 'literally' now means its exact opposite, according to dictionaries like the one that broke English.
Everyone knows a coup is when a candidate steps down and endorses their VP. Biden is still POTUS, with the immense powers of a President, but he has of course been overthrown.
I mean, according to SCOTUS last month,* he could send the Marines into the EEOB to put down any "coup" without any legal ramifications, so I feel like he's not really being mistreated.
*THIS MONTH. It was THIS MONTH. The writers for this season really need to slow down.
We're 4+ years into the 2020s and it's been absolutely insane all the way through. I dread the second half of this decade.
Biden running against Trump and winning legitimately in 2020 they called a coup too, and they said Jan 6th wasn't one. At some point they just show they don't understand the meaning of the word.
Deal with it, bitches. The fact that every right winger is repeating the coup talking point tells you everything you need to know. They are in absolute panic mode.
“Uh, sort of,” Trump said unsure, looking over to Vance suddenly fearing for his life…
We are going to see lots of this type of bullshit.
It's the GOP and related "news" outlets that are throwing everything at the wall and seeing what sticks.
They know it's not a coup, they are diluting the meaning of the word. Since they likely plan to use another coup attempt if they lose.
Well, at least THIS time we can call in some fucking muscle to put that shit right down. I hope to god they lose and try something dumb and this time we are ready for them - even arrest/disrupt them prior, ideally. Get more of them in the prison industrial complex and keep them out of politics.
I also hope they lose so that the J6 insurrectionists don't get pardoned by that asshat donnie.
I wonder if tRump chose Vance because it kinda sounds like Pence. Easier to remember.
Or maybe he doesn't want a VP candidate with a name that has more letters than he has.
Didn't he refer to him as JD Wentworth?
Edit: fake news. Sad that it was believable.
it’s my money and I want it now!

I was joking just a few days ago that all those folks still flying "Trump - Pence" signs from 2020 or the really faded ones from 2016 just need to change the "PE" to "VA" and they're good for another 4 years of sun bleaching.
They're talking about invoking the 25th amendment... Like they want Kamala to be president sooner?
Never mind the faulty logic of "if you don't want to run for president again, you can't run the country now"
They don't have anything they can use against her right now. They want to get her in office for a few months so they can attack every single choice she makes.
Biden's decision to step down isn't in any way an acknowledgement that he is unfit to serve it is more so a decision right or wrong that he would lose whether it be for his poor performance at the debate, gaffes, or age. With the Democrats pushing in the same direction this could have become a self fulfilling prophesy.
There is no reason to believe he can't both stay in office AND step down in favor of Harris. It has always been acknowledged that parties have a broad latitude to select their candidate and ultimately the people will decide.
GOP: “Biden isn’t fit to serve, he should get out”
Biden: Gets out, and tags the presidential backup everyone elected in the last general
GOP: “CoUp!”
Uh...this sounds almost exactly the opposite of what the text says happened.
Title says they lost their minds, so I expected them to be the ones bringing up the rhetoric.
But the HOST of the show said it and they stumbled? That's not what most people would consider 'losing their minds'...
Could we at least be more accurate than MAGA when posting stuff....pretty please?
I thought that Trump would be happy and gloating. But he's mad about it, which is a great sign
Hey Republicans, just so we’re clear: you can lose your mind about something the Democratic Party is doing, but we’re not obliged to give a single shit about your reaction.
Someone tell them the DNC is a month away.
If you want me to be perfectly honest I’m not thrilled that essentially my vote for Biden in the primaries isn’t going to count - that does rub me the wrong way. But fuck it, idgaf let’s go Kamala! Rebpublicans can take their fake outrage at gtfo.
