I was telling people over and over after Jan 6th happened that this was just a warmup for Trump and his misfit morons. One of the few times in my life I wished I was wrong.
We all knew it was a coup in 2020.
Trump is clearly dead weight in the oval office.
💪
IT'S A COUP! I fear it might even be a coup that leaves Trump himself in the dark!!
How about, "Trump flew over the coup coup's nest."
Call 202-224-3121 & Text PXHTGI to 50409 to save #Medicaid, my doctors, medications, & housing! Do it now!!
With the obvious out in the open, a bigger question is what does fElon do with the biggest .mil and most $$ in the world, combined with no Constitution and no rule of law? What would a maniac do with unlimited power and resources? Not hard to put 2+2 together….
Is there another country in the world where its citizens have sat on their asses during a coup?
Bloodless so far, but it’s a coup for sure.
Still worried about sustack. Got some scary shit about it, Joyce. Convince me.💙💙
It’s for sure a coup lol but they said it first so we would sound crazy
Trump seems determined to start a civil war in America so he has an excuse to invoke martial law. While at the same time he's inciting WW3 against our allies. This is not a "core presidential duty" Trump should be disqualified not just impeached.
I have lost faith in Congress and the Courts. It may come down to actual fighting to restore normalcy.
Why have you already lost faith in the courts? Trump has lost every case brought against him so far, and the courts have not *yet* responded to defiance of court orders, so we DK what will happen. The time may come to lose faith, but it’s not here yet.
Because the top court has given him immunity.
Yes. Him. But no one else. And so far, he has at least been *saying* he intends to comply with the courts (while appealing their decision, naturally). And he can still be sued. And will be. A LOT.
But courts take time to get anything done. I also question whether it will matter what courts say, should he decide to push this constitional crisis to the limit. Having said that, I don't know that the military would listen if he asked them to enforce anything, but I bet he could rally MAGA.
Well look, all I’m saying is there’s good argument not to completely give up hope yet. You do you. 😊
I have hopes. Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.
There ya go
🙏 Pray not.
Tell us how to stop this CRAZINESS!

Some people just won't believe their eyes - it is an authoritarian coup.
Ever heard of cuckooing? It's when a vulnerable person is threatened by someone and has their whole life taken over for illegal purposes.
Or cuckoo
Was doubt
Apologies, was doubtful that Musk could legally function as advisor to POTUS, but apparently he can. However, the degree of insight (actually) oversight) he has into and of government policy is if not illegal, is morally disturbing nonetheless.
Of course this is an out in right coup in our face! That miserable old man was bought out for living out of jail and that guy made it happen. He’s a puppet and sells out our country to these crazy, idiots to head viral agencies which will place our kids, grandkids in harms way for generations.
As I’ve been reading about what is taking place, I don’t think it’s a coup, but a newly established Authoritarian Regime he has been creating.
Silent coup 100%
Let's not be afraid to FIGHT the coup either.
Is it a coup when the man elected president willingly hands the presidency over to the man who bought his election in the first place?
YES!
They both cheated on the election and admitted it out loud
Let's not be afraid to call it a blitzkreig to invade and destroy democracy. halbrown.substack.com/p/i-say-its-...
Joyce can you also point out that chumps budget adding 400 million for Tesla trucks is nice that he is helping Elon sell that junk, but I would rather have this $$ spent on CDC,NIH,etc. Sure seems like a conflict to me. I know they are being transparent and all but come on.
THIS IS A COUP! TRUMP IS IN OFFICE ILLEGITIMATELY! UNELECTED MUSK STOLE THE 2024 ELECTION FOR DONALD TRUMP! TRUMP NEEDS TO BE REMOVED FROM OFFICE AND BE ARRESTED! TRUMP PLACE IS A PRISON CELL!
We are in the middle of a Coup… Wake the hell up people !!! #HitlerMusk bsky.app/profile/john...
Statskup !
please post on Blue Sky and not Twitter (I refuse to call it X) We need your voice Rosie. Your recent tweet to the Orange Shite was priceless!! A FUCKING MEN❣️❣️ Love from an Irish Girl living in Arizona. 😘
Thank you Joyce!
I said this 4 years ago. The physical one didn’t work so they went for the soft one.
How are you defining coup because I always thought a coup was from outside the elected government. While Musk himself was not elected he is purportedly a government employee of sorts, acting for the government and executing govt policy. Isn't this just garden variety authoritarian bullshit?
I heard it on good authority that all the Spanish Mackerel in the Gulf of America have been deported to the Caribbean Sea.
Why isn't this being discussed in every media outlet? THIS NEEDS INVESTIGATED IMMEDIATELY. If true, he did not win, he is not our president. PERIOD. Media outlets, why are you not all over this?! bsky.app/profile/greg...
Thank you, Joyce, because it definitely is a coup, and why they're not saying this on the Main Stream Media is beyond me
It is obviously a COUP. The strange part is that so few seem to recognize THE COUP.
Trump is Musk's lap dog.
So if it is literally a coup, then when do we start shooting back?
It’s a coup! Of course it is. Shame on every so called elected leader.
Oralè Resister Firing 1000 VA Clinics workers: I’ve worked with many veterans in recovery with mental health issues and PTS and it’s heartbreaking. VA Clinics are the frontline keeping many of our veterans from being institutionalized or jailed. Please call someone your elected representative!
I think Trump retires and is given a pardon
Why is anyone cooperating with doge? They aren't part of thr government, they shouldn't be allowed access to any government building or system. Why aren't they being locked out? I don't understand, this is clearly illegal, and nobody has to give them anything.
Elon should have been arrested. This is why I have little hope. The Dems should have stopped this long ago. It's at this point and still nothing.
Me too
I don't understand either, because if we did it, we'd be arrested on the spot.
Oh it’s a coup.
Coup, coup, coup
Although I have much respect for you, how much do we have to pay for your Substack ? I’m tired of Substack. People can only afford so much.
It’s a coup. Do we stand by and make this a normal day or we protest, resist and fight? What happens now?
It only took 53 days #DOGE is how he will do it. www-theatlantic-com.translate.goog/ideas/archiv...
So Musk and Trump are exchanging $10M for continued rule. Dump the stock movement! www.msn.com/en-sg/news/w...
Can someone please explain in detail the legality of all the shit that Elon Musk is doing? Someone? Please?
MAGA delenda est #magadelendaest
I think people often get the impression that a coup involves tanks up the main street, flags replaced, and state-run TV. I think we're seeing it can also involve pillaging various government bank accounts, awarding government contracts to "friendly" companies, and making sure no one can undo it.
bsky.app/profile/revf...
A disassembly if the US government. Destroying all that is good.
We need to reach 12 million and more as fast as we can for the Peaceful Protests to be effective. We need to boycott as many goods and companies as possible. We have to come together as "We the People" to overcome this regime. This is "Mayday for May Day" youtu.be/tklD9g5qvRQ?...
Yes, 100% Coup or a big gigantic chicken coop with only 2 roosters and thousands of chickens. Let's hope these 2 roosters will fight each other. Although Elon is the biggest COCK! 💙💙💙💙
Your substack is in my daily read list. Thanks so much for all your good work.

Public Service Risk Assessment: Elon Musk "Elon Musk's involvement in Donald Trump's administration would likely be rated as High Risk across multiple domains ..." Grok #ElonMuskIsANationalSecurityThreat
bsky.app/profile/stra...
So we call it a coup. What the hell are we doing to stop it? Where are the adults in our government? Why hasn't Musk been arrested??? He's a civilian with no security clearance!
If they vote for the good they fear they’ll lose a primary and then not be able to get a job. It’s selfishness and cowardice.
I thought we all knew it was a leader led coup on 1/6/21. I thought we all knew the coup was still alive when the Biden Admin & ALL Dem leaders supported the traitor leaders keep leading. I thought we all knew when Trump was running again the coup would succeed, because traitors cheat & lie.
King Musk has entered the building and the Donald is sitting in the corner with a DUNCE HAT ON.
I've thought this for a while. Something nefarious definitely happened.
Yes. It's a slow-moving train wreck of a coup.
Musk is CoupCoup
Let’s call what is necessary to overturn this republican coup a civil war.
Is calling a coup a coup really a hot-take anymore?
Is this 1933 Germany, sure feels like it.
Uh, a coup for sure. Now what?
It sure is a coup but the joke is on Trump - fElon is taking over. His little kid with the big mouth told The Orange Don all by himself. He said: "I want to shush your mouth" and "You are not the president, you need to go away." I heard it somewhere - and kids repeat what they hear.

Define “Coup”
It's fair to say our President is behaving lawlessly, but I'm not sure it's a coup. If congress refuses to impeach a president who keeps breaking the law, I think you'd have to say this is what we as a people are consenting to.
Not the majority of the American people.
I'm just saying checks and balances are available. If they're not utilized that will have consequences.
It’s a coup bsky.app/profile/stop...
Indeed. bsky.app/profile/rosi...
I've SEEN enough !!! trump HAS DECLARED WAR AGAINST THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA !!! trump has DECLARED WAR against Our Founder's Principles! trump has DECLARED WAR against Our Constitution! trump has DECLARED WAR against Our Rule of Law! TRUMP MUST BE STOPPED !!! AMERICA !!! TAKE TO OUR STREETS !!!
Yes he has. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8Ym6MtY/
You are right. We have taken to the streets before. We just must never quit.
I bet muskrat is staying over tonight, tomorrow is Valentine's ...
Joyce, why won’t anyone investigate the outcome of the election? Why no recount. They have basically admitted that they “cheated”. I don’t get it.
Go to @marcelias.bsky.social He is recruiting lawyers to assist government employees. 202-968-4490; info@elias.law. Please retweet as much as possible. Get the word out. These people are illegally fired. They can sue.
Blah blah blah. More academic discussion of what everybody already knows. No ideas to combat Trump and Musk, just a lecture on calling a coup a coup. Useless. Everyone here and MSNBC already knows all this. Unless you have ideas to combat the takeover this is useless
“let’s not be afraid to call a coup a coup.” When will people wake up and not be afraid to call a counter-coup into action or is it already too late?
Let’s not be afraid to call a fascist a fascist
My guess is he’s holding America hostage and if anyone tries to impeach Trump he will freeze all government funds. The biggest mistake made was allowing him into the treasury system. If he can go into NYC’s bank account and pull money back what makes you think he can’t do it in mass. We’re screwed.
That’s no coup. Sorry. 👎🏻 It’s a special administrative action. ☝🏻
It’s betrayal to all who sacrificed for our Constitution and country.
You didn’t get the reference, didn’t you?
Somebody needs to tell Trump, “when the president stands, nobody sits.”
Quick heads up to all journalists around the world. There's absolutely nothing unprofessional or disrespectful in uttering the words "Would you please be more specific?" after an insufficient answer to a legitimate question to an elected official.
I definitely did not have an orange-faced felon with daddy issues and his ketamine addicted sidekick taking over the world on my bingo card. 😕
Yes! Please provide legal analysis on your podcast with this truth.
I’ve been calling it a coup for years. Everyone thought I was overreacting. I saw it, so why didn’t the democratic leadership do something to stop it? I’ll also say They stole this election, and no one can make me think otherwise.

I just saw you on the Jim Acosta town hall and was SO glad to hear your quick thoughts on the election! Thank you! Thought I'd share this... www.youtube.com/live/JE8klt8...
State bars may be our last line of defense to preserve rule of law. Delegations of lawyers & law professors should be pressuring every state bar to issue a statement declaring that ANY Trump Admin lawyer advising defiance of court orders will face IMMEDIATE suspension pending disbarment. ⏰ ticking.
Totally a coup.
It's a circus, filled with clowns. Staffed by architects of project 2025
At least he let him sit at the big boys desk, while booger on it and twice tell Trump he was not pres he to get lost, the 2nd time dropped the F-bomb
Elon & Trump feed off each other. Whatever Elon says, few minutes later it’s posted by Trump on his social media, regardless if it’s fact or fiction.
What Vladimir Putin wants Vladimir Putin gets. #USCoup #PutinCoup apnews.com/article/musk...
This is unAmerican as can get!
We have to keep calling it out!
🫡😉
It’s definitely a coup. We don’t even know if the legal system will hold up since this regime openly talks about defying the law. Since there won’t be any consequences, the laws protecting us become meaningless. The Rs in the Senate won’t stand up to protect us, so the coup is all but complete.
PS Thank you, Joyce, for everything that you do to keep us all in the loop.
Already following. Ur one of my trusted few for facts. And adorable chicken pics
And lets not be afraid to call an insurrectionist an insurrectionist
Damn right! Calling Putin, what the hell. Trying to make us all peasants. Can’t believe people are not in the streets.
Imagine for a moment a self-made king and his prince p: I can write a program to run the kingdom k: OK, do it p: the logic can't be too complicated k: Rip out whatever you want, you're the prince p: it may be uncomfortable for the people k: who cares Just sayin'
It’s a coup …..
The coup did not just begin. It’s been in the works for decades and has been taking real shape under mobster Trump for almost 10 years now.
Did ya hear little X telling dump he’s not the president and that he wants Donny to fucking shut his mouth?
A lie is a lie!
with the appointment of Tulsi Gabbard it's more than a coup. it's ideological-espionage WAR to destroy the US govt, having been plotted out by Putin & #Kremlin over the past 40 yrs #SOS-USA criminals, oligarchs & psychopaths
I mean the thing is that apparently some of the republicans supporting this wanted exactly this to happen. They want the gov flipped upside down and burned. My dad wants basically no fed government.
Please consider using your influence on something other than journals.
Best Friends with Jeffrey Epstein.
Your right. Had msm & Congress stopped the whitewashing & pretending, nothing would be what it currently is.😔
Our President is unwell AND because of this, it's a coup.
The look on #FelonTrump face when #MuskRat minion shushed him was priceless! 😂
What I’ve learned this week is that even someone like Elon Musk has problems finding childcare. If the school calls a snow day, I’m in my rights to bring my toddler to work…
The ultimate goal is that we live under dictatorship He is getting closer
“we are living through the quietest of coups. If we don’t start calling it what it is and putting a stop to it, it stands a fair chance of succeeding” Why are so many Dem leaders still acting like it’s business as usual? Thankfully some are fighting however possible, but some still seem dazed.

Sorry. I just refuse to follow any more people on Substack, and I'm slowly getting rid of the ones that I already follow. They support the coup, and value their nazi creators.
Specifically it's an #AutoCoup, #SelfCoup, #AupGolpe or #CoupFromTheTop
We need somebody, like a US Federal Judge Or Federal Appeals Court, to Order U.S. Marshals to arrest these people and forbid them from touching any US Government system!
Ok following! We met on set when I was the stand-in for the ‘male billionaire’ on your show! 😜
Not even trying to hide it now. When has a private citizens given a puplic address from the Oval Office
😂😂😂Poor widdle frump. So pathetic, so sad. Just sitting thereGetting told off by a widdle 4 year old in the Oval Office of all places. WEAK AS F!😝😝😝
Also, we should stop calling Magas Republicans. That would help voters understand that voting Maga is not anything like voting for a John McCaine. Traditional Republicans are more like the current Democrats than they are like Magas. Liz Cheney is an example.
And Trump is the Grand Wizard of the Coup Clux Clan. But he's just that tiny little wizard behind the curtain...
I'd rather read you here. I hate Substack. Just fyi.
Im There!
No doubt they are couping.
Anything we can glean from the Orange Revolution?
While you're down there Don...
A Nazi is a Nazi and a coup is a coup
But this isn’t a coup. We elected this 💩 (assuming Mush didn’t cook the voting machines). This is our elected government (shame on us, I guess.) But … WE are the coup … and we’d better get on with it while there’s still time.
That’s a hefty assumption, there
What am I assuming? We elected them and they’re running with it. They’re not the overthrower … we need to make them the overthrowee. 😃
Did we elect them, though? I believe he as elected fair and square the first time out. Not so sure about this time. But yeah, he’s in there now.
But he did, didnt trumpers congratulate him for fixing the computers and the voting machines??? The big question from outside is "Why do you let an 'unvoted' and non political persona take charge in the WH oval office?"
Trump hired him and put him in charge. No president ever wanted to hand over the job like that before. We’re finding out what the limits of presidential power are.
And thats the big spooky bit for all the world, are there any rules?? we know Putin doesnt follow any,Watching that oval office scenario with trump sitting there like a stuffed puppet and no reaction at all, was the frightening bit
👏👏👏🫡😉

Let's call it a KKKoup.
Musk is carrying out revenge for the US leading the world against South AfriKKKan apartheid Sins of his father ARE his sins now as well
It’s a coup and betrayal of American principles!
Yes, this is all literal take-over, just as Jan 6th was, this time it is harder to tell for some, when it is cloaked in so much Christian rhetorical self-righteousness!
We are post-coup now. It was successful. America died. I don’t know what we call ourselves now. We certainly are NOT united.
4 year olds repeat what they hear they rarely make Up things like this.
🤣 a sedated zoo animal!!! Omg, that's what I'm referring to he who shall not be named now🤣
Agree
“Improving democracy” like, it’s SUPPOSED to be messy and complicated, that’s why it’s a fucking democracy!
A soft coup is not improving democracy, it is removing democracy.
Yeah, I get it, it’s just absurd to me that anyone would buy the Siamese Presidents’ claim that they’re “cleaning up” democracy by removing bureaucracy. Just appealing to the fascist obsession with purity which inevitably leads to wholesale suffering…all the while stuffing their pockets full
Haha, “Siamese President.”
This is what Apartheid President Musk's son said to the cheeto man during the presser www.instagram.com/reel/DGA32EA...
Absolutely a coup!
I am surprised those two still are together. That bromance is doomed.
Indeed it is. Just a matter of time until those two damaged children can no longer fit their egos into the same room.
This was a coup. Elon helped Trump hack the voting machine software to steal this election in order for both of them to avoid prison. Trump should be arrested along with Musk,and the real president should be installed. Every US citizen should be in the streets demanding justice.
Agreed I’ve been calling what he’s been doing a coup for a long long time. Well before it was popular. It’s just honest.
The "coup" never stopped, since it's the deliberate, systematic, decades-old demolition of liberal democracy by the entire Republican Party and their billionaire paymasters, we've just reached its predictable conclusion.
If LEON HAS A JOB TO DO, "WHY" is he always hanging around the WH ??
We're at the point where being afraid to call it a coup is like the time when we were afraid to call them nazis and fascists. I just don't see the logic in sugarcoating this.
www.wardrobeoxygen.com/national-day...
If you believe it's a coup, where are the defenders of the union willing to march in and take out the traitors? OR is this just another long campaign to reelect the Dem establishment corporate interests, MIC supporters?
How about SistersInLaw organizing a MillionPeoplesMarch in Chicago, Ann Arbor, Boston, and Charlottesville? @jillwine-banks.bsky.social @barbmcquade.bsky.social @kimberlyeatkins.bsky.social @preetbharara.bsky.social @eliehonig.bsky.social @asharangappa.bsky.social
