You've already admitted "she appoints"

Explain harder
Does she required to do anything else in regard to that?

This is a digression, I've been posting about the Nat guard not the capitol police until it came up.

What communist government are you trying to compare it to?

There's a long history of the US government (and I assume many others) waiting until prime time, when most people are home, to broadcast a thing, I don't think it necessarily makes it authoritarian

In that long history, when was the last time one political party held legislative branch put the other side on public trial for treason on prime time tv after two failed impeachments by the same legislative branch?

You're trying to claim when it comes to Capitol Security she's an innocent bystander or something

It's laughable

Anyways, feel free to keep playing stupid games /shrug

House appts a member to the board, Senate appts a member, something called an Architect is on the board along with Cap Police bossman who doesn't get to vote.

What am I missing?

I dunno. I'm not a wonk. I just remember seeing press conferences and presidential addresses and fireside chats and shit like that, before tv it was radio and before that it was a guy shouting

When's the last time a single political party tried to overthrow the federal government? The civil war was a secession, the south wasn't gonna invade the north

Anyways, looking forward to seeing some heads on spikes all along I-495

The question you should be asking is, when's the last time anyone tried to overthrow a goverment without weapons by capturing the non military branch of the gov's office equipment and then goes home to make dinner without being dispersed by military at 6pm?

Im going to try to not point out that this trial is a farce and the real treason because I'm looking forward to that too.

Last night's TV (though a terribly boring first episode) was better than any of the new dystopian sci-fi's that have come out in the last couple years, so that was pretty rad.

Looking forward to where this series goes.

I dunno all of the specifics, obviously, but it can happen. I don't think it will be bloodless here, though. America was forged in violence and in violence it will end

I'm sure some Aaron Sorkin fans think that every single election is a non-violent coup, but they're deeply insane people

The only way this is going to be a non violent revolution is if the side that is getting revolted decides to lay down their hundreds of millions of guns.
