Alec Baldwin wants to overthrow the government

[Hawkmoon]

More specifically, he wants to overthrow the Trump administration:

Somebody needs to tell Alec Baldwin that he should stick to acting and stop trying to appear as if he knows anything about government.

[dogmush]

Yeah, that's not what he said.

From the second paragraph of the article:

“The way we implement change in America is through elections,” Baldwin said. “In that orderly way, we need to overthrow the government of the United States under Donald Trump. Not in a violent, awful way, but it must be overthrown nonetheless. Let’s make America great again, by making Donald Trump a casino operator again.”

A Democrat told other Democrats at a Democratic Party fundraiser that they need to vote in a Democrat next election?  Quick!  Get my fainting couch.

Framing that remark as calling to overthrow the government is as disingenuous as framing Trump's remarks about Lee as support for slavery.

Yes, it is literally what he said.

Alec Baldwin does not understand what "overthrow" means.

Sounds to me like he wants people to vote Trump out.

If Republicans were mobbing Senators, shooting at Democratic legislators, refusing to condemn political violence from their side, and wishing all minority women would die; Big Media would fall over itself to say that "overthrow" is a dog whistle, to signal the militia groups.

I'm still waiting for him to move out of the United States, as he promised he would do, were Bush re-elected in 2004.

The lying sack of crap is still here.

Rhetorical question, did you think the lying sack o' crap would be honest about moving out of the States?

I guess I'm just a fount of hope and optimism.

So you voted for Obama, then?
