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.

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.

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.

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.

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"

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!”

I thought that Trump would be happy and gloating. But he's mad about it, which is a great sign

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?

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.

For their sanity, Donald should drop out of the race.

I thought coups were ok?

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.

Someone tell them the DNC is a month away.
