I think another reason this bogus military coup attack is happening is because they are afraid of the planned June 14th

No Kings Protests. And to scare people from not attending.

I would not be surprised if there are troops on the streets that day pointing their guns at peaceful law abiding constitutional granted rights protesters.

It will be empty streets. Who the hell wants to go to that? No one.

First best is that Trump's last birthday is his last birthday. I'd love for the piece of shit to croak before his stupid parade. Today would be good.

2. Well, they are going to be really frustrated at Pope Leo's sold out mass & video outreach at Chicago White Sox Stadium

--which starts a mere hour before his big shindig and will undoubtedly have lots of streaming and news attention on it as well, given it is his first and has been sold out since 15 minutes after announcement. Yes, the Pope will only appear via video, but it is still going to get its share of attention.

Religious or no, this is a good counter to Trump's BS and I'd bet Leo will call him out, even if only by his actions and not by name.
