He has the right to discuss ideas & strategies with his closest advisers. The president should feel unrestrained to bring ideas to his closest staff for robust discussion.
These are the words from Senator Grassley on the Senate Floor in response to the news circulating on trump attempts to actively try and change the results of the election.
I don’t think anyone disagrees with a president’s right to discuss things with his staff and advisers. It’s the topic he reportedly had a robust discussion with his closest staff and advisers about that’s the problem.
But you know the Republicans of today….
But holy cow.

I have to wonder if Grassley is entirely well. For a sitting Senator to basically shrug his shoulders at the fact that a President of HIS party was discussing overthrowing an election with his advisors is monstrous.

I wasn’t sure I was understanding what Grassley said. But I guess I did.

Grassley needed to retire a few election cycles ago.

Well, perhaps it's a bit of senile dementia.
If not, he's supporting a treasonous attempt to subvert our government.

I don't think you can blame his age, since there are plenty of younger senators and congresspeople defending Trump on this as well.

I always believed the bull about the American system being beyond coups.
What a chump I was.
I see we're just as susceptible as the next sh($*#hole country when it comes to coup-ing.
PS - The "COUP" is the "PLOTTING TO OVERTHROW" - whether or not it succeeds.
We have been "coup-ed".
