Raskin: Wake Up Americans — This Is a ‘Rapidly Expanding and Accelerating Coup’
« on: February 07, 2025, 09:22:55 pm »
Pam Key 7 Feb 2025

Representative Jamie Raskin (D-MD) claimed Friday on MSNBC’s “The ReidOut” that Elon Musk and President Donald Trump were conducting a “rapidly expanding and accelerating coup.”

Raskin said, “If the courts move with dispatch, they might be able to prevent a lot of damage from being inflicted. But nobody should normalize what’s going on here. We’ve got the wealthiest man in the world who cannot be president because he was born in apartheid South Africa and then made his way to Canada and then to America because he can’t be president, except if he can buy himself a de facto presidency by putting up hundreds of millions of dollars for Donald Trump. You know, TIME Magazine’s got him sitting in the Oval Office on their on the cover at the Resolute Desk, but he’s acting like he is president.”

He added, “In fact, I don’t know of any president who’s ever done anything remotely like this, which is basically engineer and operation to take custody of millions and millions of records of the American people, the financial systems of the Treasury Department, the data of the American people. He’s got his claws into the defense operation, telecom, you name it. So, the people in Silicon Valley think that he wants to be the monarch of a new techno-feudal state. That’s why you’ve got Steve Bannon and other people on the right attacking Elon Musk. Steve Bannon has said he is a truly evil person who should not be running the U.S. government. So, at some point, we’ve got to wake up beyond party lines for all Americans to see what’s going on here in this rapidly expanding and accelerating coup.”

To a Democrat,  "coup" means "we lost, and are really mad about it."

Wait ... just hold on here for a second ... So a Democratic elected person supported by a vast majority of the population, who was elected by a Democracy. Is opposed by the "Democratic" party

There's a threat to democracy somewhere in there.

Rep Raskin, Mr dew rag himself, has next to zero credibility with much of America.  On his best day, he is an idiot.

Nothing he says carries any weight.  Nothing!

Biden never gave a crap about debate or compromise ... he wielded the Executive Order like it was Excalibur.

Pelosi abused the "Budget Reconciliation Process" to circumvent Article I legislative process.

Pelosi and the Dems passed "emtpy frameworks" which were not legislation, but were placeholders for fungible piles of money for Dems to launder.

This, coming from a guy whose Party anointed their candidate, the one who never got a primary vote.

So much for "Democracy".

People voted for this.
You lost, so get over it.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Raskin, like so many other New York politicians, represent a hateful bunch that the bulk of America is seething against.

It is a state of hate, and America will eventually take it out on them.

This is a coup being extinguished by denying it fuel.

Congressman Raskin's view that President Trump exercising the executive authority of the United States by auditing departments of the executive branch, constitutes a "coup" suggests that Congressman Rankin regards subordinate departments of the executive as constituting the government of the United States independent of executive authority vested in the President by the Constitution.  If he has that view, then restoring Constitutional government to the United State will look to him like the overthrow of the government.
