        I am a bad Canadian. Coulda sworn they won and folded. Relocated, I guess. -- nm - VMan Nov 19, 14:19 1
        
        they were probably the only successful US expansion team. only moved because they knew they couldn't compete with the Ravens moving in. -- nm - mafic Nov 19, 14:48

    - Most of these proceedings get smacked down quickly. These are all PR campaigns. -- nm - Reagen Nov 19, 14:20 1
      - Courts don't usually have this level of patience. Yes, they're getting smacked down quickly, but the lack of consequences continues to give them - pmb Nov 19, 14:58
Hey mop, it was jnine, of course. -- nm - ♤Spawn♤ Nov 19, 13:17 1

  - You can start by not using words like ‘ameliorate.’ -- nm - Qale Nov 19, 13:49
  - It's a staggeringly incompetent attempted coup. It's fun to watch Donnie lose again every day. -- nm - loosilu Nov 19, 13:14 2
    - He couldn't even get out of his vehicle when he had thousands of his followers marching to give some speech or call to action - eag Nov 19, 13:19 1
      - it does feel like he has the least amount of interest in staying in office of everybody involved. tweeting is all he has to offer. -- nm - colin 🤏 Nov 19, 13:28
  - it's frightening because someone more competent could pull it off. we can all see how the system and people could allow it. -- nm - colin 🤏 Nov 19, 13:10 5
    - I'm not so sure. They could certainly have bent the norms more effectively, but the problem for Trump here isn't that they're doing it badly, it's - pmb Nov 19, 13:16 2

      - its why he has aleady moved on from the courts deciding it. -- nm - Jovian Nov 19, 13:20
    - The judicial system isn't allowing any of it. I'm actually impressed. -- nm - loosilu Nov 19, 13:14 1
      - that's the incompetence though - no evidence is being brought. i believe if they brought SOMETHING it would start going through courts. -- nm - colin 🤏 Nov 19, 13:16
- It IS a coup attempt. Whether or not it succeeds remains to be seen. -- nm* - Jovian Nov 19, 13:06 6
  - It won't. You're falling for Donnie's propaganda. He wants you scared. -- nm - loosilu Nov 19, 13:14
  - and every single person who stood up at that podium today should all be lined up as the traitors they are. -- nm - Jovian Nov 19, 13:08
  - You. Must. Chill. -- nm - David Nov 19, 13:07 3
    - I don't find it relaxing to consider the only reason they're failing is because of competent judges. That's a pretty tenuous scenario to hang a hat on -- nm - Max Nov 19, 13:17 2
      - As I said, the system works. -- nm - ♤Spawn♤ Nov 19, 13:18 1
