The Coup-Coup Birds Take Flight

No big deal, just people openly calling for the extermination of Joe Biden, the Democratic party and the media like normal.

So yeah, completely normal behavior for the right.

The fun part is when Trump tweets his agreement with this sentiment, or worse, tells his followers that they need to be the ones making this happen.

Also, over the river in Ohio, state Republicans are now going after Republican Gov. Mike DeWine for terrorism charges. No, really.

After failing to impeach Gov. Mike DeWine over his COVID-19 response, Clermont County Republican Rep. John Becker tried – and shortly after failed – to charge him with a slew of criminal offenses, including terrorism, bribery and interfering with civil rights.

Becker accused DeWine of disenfranchising voters, threatening the health of Ohioans by closing hospitals to non-emergency procedures and shuttering businesses in a private citizen affidavit filed with Clermont County Municipal Court on Monday morning.

Clermont County Municipal Court Clerk Tim Rudd sent the request to prosecutor Vince Faris for review, and Faris rejected it shortly after.

"I do not find any basis for the filing of a criminal complaint pursuant to this affidavit," Faris, a Republican, told The Enquirer. Becker's quest ended just hours after it started.

The now-moot affidavit accuses DeWine of several crimes including:

• Engaging in a pattern of corrupt activity, a second-degree felony
• Complicity, a second-degree felony
• Terrorism, a third-degree felony
• Making terroristic threats, a third-degree felony
• Inducing panic, third-degree felony
• Conspiracy, a third-degree felony
• Bribery, a fourth-degree felony
• Interfering with civil rights, a first-degree misdemeanor
• Coercion, a second-degree misdemeanor
• Patient abuse or neglect, a second-degree misdemeanor

Asked for comment, DeWine spokesman Dan Tierney replied: "If this were serious, I would have a comment. Because it is patently absurd, I do not."

Becker encouraged others to file their own complaints.

“The governor simply isn’t getting the message that the people’s liberties need to be respected and a governor has no right to assume imperial and dictatorial powers without regard to any alleged emergency,” Becker said in a statement.

 

Again, I hope Ohio state police are ready to deal with the death threats DeWine is almost certainly getting. And when Trump directs his flying monkeys to start violence, I hope America is ready to deal with what's next.

 

It's not going to be pretty, folks.
