The classic next move in a coup would be to seize the leadership of the opposition party on some criminal charge. We’ll see what happens when the Congress returns to DC.

My home state. But don’t disregard arresting the Mayor in New Jersey and charging a Representative there, a judge in Wisconsin and handcuffing a Senator.

And killing some state senators in MN. Gee, it’s almost like Americans should be worried…
