Don't know why you modded that down. He was a villain before Trump hired him, just like Comey and the rest. Now he's a victim?! God, really, who are the psychos around here?

It's also the language of protest. One has to look to real world action to distinguish what is what. If "intervention" means coup, then there you go. If it means instead that more people resign or protest, then it's not a coup.

No worse than the democrats leave every time they're in power. You still haven't figured why they can't win, have you? And don't give me your "gerrymandering" bullshit either. It's bullshit for a reason. The democrats just suck, simple as that. And they are crooks, very much like gangsters.
