@horace said in Flynn: Overthrow the government:
Since the right doesn't have effective media outlets
I know this is a tired old thing to point out, but you've got Fox News, which is an absolutely massive Murdoch-owned conservative mass-media cable TV outlet.
Jolly's been pointing out how it's much more popular than CNN and MSNBC for years.

And it is. But it can't beat all of cable AND NBC, CBS, ABC television news AND NBC, CBS and ABC radio, AND the NYT, WaPo and a slew of other repeating megaphones.

And that’s another thing that was so wrong with Jan 6, everyone is aware what these so called “patriots” are capable of. Storming their own highest symbol of democracy.
Don't be so melodramatic. The doors were unlocked and they were a mob in a partying mood.

IIRC a chick ate lead for being on the front end of a mob breaking down a door.

Yes she was a particularly crazy individual in the mob, and she paid the price.

Remind me of how many Capitol Police officers were injured in this attack.
And then reflect on how many Secret Service officers were injured, a year ago, outside the White House. where a church was set on fire. You want "insurrection?" That's where you should look.

She would probably have been ripe for the short-bus defense, had she survived.

I suspect they are a lot more worried about due process, fairness, equal treatment under the law, one man-one vote and the Deep State much more than you will ever be,
If they cared about any of that, they cared about them in the wrong way, The Jan.6 mob tried to invalidate the results of more than 150 million votes.
Worried about due process? Go protest against excessive use of force by and the militarization of the police.
Worried about fairness? Go protest against dark money in politics and the Citizens United decision.
Worried about equal treatment under the law? Go protest against profiling and discrimination by race, gender, religion, or sexual orientation.
Worried about one man-one vote? Go protest against gerrymandering.
Worried about “Deep State”? The last thing you should be doing is to encourage those who are already wield the state instrument to overturn the will of the people.
Nay, the Jan.6 mob was no defender of high principles, they were a violent cult of personality.

How many people were at the rally and what fraction participated in the shennanigans at the Capitol?
It may come as a shock to you, but a majority of the 75M who voted for Trump, believe something very fishy happened during our last election. The Democrat fight to keep anybody from witnessing the vote counts in some states, the fight against forensic examination of the election and the pitched battle against any type of ballot security going forward, reinforces the conviction of many that some entity is trying to cover up something about the election process like a cat covers up shit.
For somebody that constantly harps on transparency and sunshine in government, I think you would be among the first demanding fairness, transparency, ethics and accountability in the election process. One man, one legal vote, counted properly.
But Trump.

She just wanted to be the first for a selfie with a genuine Secret Service agent. No pretense beyond that.
Which reminds me, wasn't this thread initially about that embarrassment, Flynn?

Really sad that GOP couldn’t prove what you wrote. Also too bad Trump burned his credibility saying Obama was born in Kenya. You can’t undo that.

@jon-nyc I used to have a fair amount of respect for Flynn. I thought, at the time, that he got railroaded. As a matter of fact, I still do.
But, for FUCK'S sake.
If you want to maintain any credibility, and I'm not sure he really cares any more, just don't do this shit.

One of George Washington's favorite generals was a man named Benedict Arnold.
That institution has seen a little bit of everything.

It may sound radical, but Christianity is supposed to require a radical commitment. As for overthrowing the government, if the election was stolen, this would seem a reasonable strategy for setting the country back on its "true" path. The nation's founders overthrew the previous government, and it was suggested that this might be necessary again. Flynn appears to have taken that message to heart.
