Steven BeschlossIf you think the sedition is behind us, you’re not paying attention. Donald Trump is making it as painfully obvious as he can.
Jen Resisted@StevenBeschloss and yet Trump remains above the law, and seditionists remain in Congress. It’s almost like there aren’t any consequences for anything
@StevenBeschloss It won’t be behind us until there are consequences. At this point, it’s on those we entrusted with the power to enforce the law.
RichardOntario@JenResisted @StevenBeschloss Me thinks you ask too much
@StevenBeschloss Yes he is and hopefully the Special Counsel is paying attention.
PerryM ✅Steve, look around! We don't think sedition is behind us. Realism even goes as far as saying that stopping Trump is not the answer either! However, it's the first step that needs to happen. There's Eastman, Jordan, McCarthy, Powell, MTG, Mo, the list goes on!
WE think that Merrick Garland needs to pay attention. He's ignored several opportunities to begin, totally ignored the recommendations of Mueller and totally blew a solid opportunity at MAL.
Garland is a F² mess as AG

At what point does this Bozo go to prison

Stormcrow@StevenBeschloss Why on earth would any sane person think that? We're all screaming for DOJ to stop the coup-in-progress so we don't have to do it ourselves.
Donnie Two ScoopsTrump's social media post yesterday was telling.
No Constitution is Dictator Trump's goal.
A L Katz@StevenBeschloss Agree. How villainous does a villain have to be fer Pete's sake?
RREdmonds@StevenBeschloss No one can ignore it now.
jgnoonan@StevenBeschloss Donald Trump is the father of lies. He always has been. He attracts the vanishing white majority with his racist-tinged propaganda and they eat it up. He clearly has violated the law and must be held accountable.
Chujiro S@StevenBeschloss it's obvious tfg is trying to recruit more rwnjs for another coup to keep itself out of jail. And yes itself applies b/c tfg is not a person just an orange stain.
JaimeC@StevenBeschloss Why is he still a free man?? #LockHimUpAlready
@StevenBeschloss If you think sedition will ever be behind us until there are criminal consequences, you’re not paying attention. Those in our Justice Department are making it as painfully obvious as they can.
Thao Jones-Hill@StevenBeschloss his reasons for wanting to change laws are just completely unfounded. Personally, I do believe our constitution and our federal governmental structure needs to be modernized (not for the reasons he’s stating).. The 50/50 split over every 2/3 required topic/vote in a two party system is sure to prevent us from making modern changes. If we don’t recognize and make controlled change through policy, we will end up just physically fighting over it.
hikewithrichard@StevenBeschloss Musk bought Twitter as a tool to spread disinformation to help Trump.
VHasch@StevenBeschloss
Yup. I'm PRETTY sure tossing out the Constitution is fairly seditious. More seditious than invading the Capitol, at any rate.

DavePerrino ✅@StevenBeschloss With the full support of Fox “News” and other far right news outlets.
TheBull874@StevenBeschloss It will only get worse. Don’t be surprised at what he will ask his supporters to do when he’s indicted. His rhetoric will only stop by a gag order or conviction/incarceration.
GleederVoider@StevenBeschloss The waters are getting verrrrrry murky. Where’s the line? That point of no return? How far COULD this go? There are many of us that see that view this on a macro level, and honestly it doesn’t look good. No matter what.
Sean Ketchem@StevenBeschloss It is as clear as it can be (and thank you for posting natively here and not crossposting).
Statmonkey 🙊@StevenBeschloss I don't. Stating that we should suspend the Constitution to reverse the result of a free and fair election is sedition. Which of he were a person of color say maybe wearing a beret with a fist on the air would get him arrested and pilloried by the right. Instead it gets him campaign contributions and a "meh" from the DOJ
Jiggly@StevenBeschloss the thing that I always come back to is, authoritarian rule is terrible for an economy. It's terrible for crushing the working class and bilking them of their hard earned wages. On January 6th 2020 we witnessed their best efforts to overthrow the government. While it to was criminal and everyone involved should be locked up, it was sad and underwhelming. The true leaders of the republican party have too much to lose to allow a man child like Trump overthrow our government.
@StevenBeschloss today in N.Carolina…was a preview!
Protect yourselves with backup to power, water, food & whatever else you need while the ignorant plot against themselves on behalf of an Orange fascist & his #ApartheidBrat enablers
SpeakEasy@StevenBeschloss that he is not in jail indicates the system is just not working.
Ms. LegaleseMerrick Garland's lack of urgency is painful to watch.
The Evaporated KidConstitution says convicts can't be president
Seditionists being prosecuted and convicted
Special council without political party closing in on Trump too
Trump calls for suspension of Constitution
Trump's lawyers have told him he'll be convicted
QED
Toxteth O'Grady@StevenBeschloss A concern. On the other hand, if Trump wants to claim law and the Constitution can be suspended for his benefit, we should take that as an invitation to suspended law and the Constitution in order to hold him accountable...
@StevenBeschloss as is Elon Musk. He too wants to rule the world.
@StevenBeschloss Elon musk on Twitter.
MollyNYCToo bad Trump didn’t express this wish for the “termination” [1] of the Constitution before the election.
______
[1] Unquestionably meant in the Arnold Schwarzeneggar sense of the word.
Stacy 🇺🇦🇺🇸 (he/him)@StevenBeschloss it’s definitely not over
@StevenBeschloss If he wants no rules, there is no reason we can't adopt the same approach and do whatever we want to him...
Wayne Brown@StevenBeschloss No need to hide your disdain for democracy when your base lives in rural compound, and looks at hitler as ‘the good ol’ days’.
@StevenBeschloss The terrorism in NC shows us we aren't done with violent Trumpism.
This is a war. Prepare as much as you can. Vote out the MAGA Sheriffs.
SunflowerJMS@StevenBeschloss
Yes I agree. His comment about the Constitution was proof that the sedition is not behind us.

“January 6 Isn’t Over Yet Whether or not the assault on the Capitol actually failed will be decided by what happens next. Adolf Hitler’s 1923 Beer Hall Putsch can serve as a reminder that the place of January 6 in history is yet to be determined. My new column for @GuardianUS:”
Airline Brief Tim🇦🇺@StevenBeschloss he should have been arrested for his social media post the other day
Jens Elbæk@StevenBeschloss If you do not "kill" facisme, it is still alive
Just Ella@StevenBeschloss I am a believer. His cronies are becoming more vocal as well, Kevin McCathy, homeland terrorists. Anyone who says they want the constitution of our country destroyed, is thinking sedition and thinks they can do it. He has his brown shirts.
BigBadBoxBookAt this point it looks like a smooth transition from "Donald Trump" to "Donald Who?" The republican viper pit will produce a new top prick in no time.
With dumbass Dem messaging, the fascism will only get worse unless and until it gets a straight left to the mouth.
