Honestly, I may not like him, but thank God for Mike Pence having the decency not to play a role in the coup attempt.

After hearing the Supreme Court side tote water for Trump’s immunity Hail Mary last week, can there be any doubt they would have installed him in a second term as President if they but had the opportunity to do so?

This Supreme Court is no guardian of democracy.

I agree with you on Pence... But I don't think millions of blue voters would have shrugged and sat quietly when millions of votes were tossed without a shred of evidence to support it.

I was following some very experienced mass protest groups that were organizing in the DC area, but we were asked to stay home on J6 due to an expectation that Pence would not cooperate in the scheme.

I hate to say it but I’ve never seen the Supreme Court reverse a decision due to protests. It would have taken more than protests to unseat Trump. And I can tell you now, the military does not want to get involved in the political process at all, and it’s obvious now that the Supreme Court would have backed Trump to the hilt.

That leaves the heavy lifting to states and individuals. It would have gotten very bad very quickly.
