Yes I did, a coup has the be violent, this is clearly not violent, but maybe it's violent enough to hurt Nausi or Trump's feeling, it still wouldn't be a coup.
One thing to note about the English language is that it is rarely ever as simple as one definition being absolute. Not only has the word taken on different meanings over the years, but there is such a thing as a "bloodless coup" even though that would be completely contradictory to the definition you provided.
tl;dr - Semantics, really?

Half brained is an epithet for intelligence. Him towing the party line has always been the complaint again McCain. He likes to talk as the sensible bipartisan "maverick" sometimes but his actual voting record says otherwise. Whether or not he follows through on his Trump comments if he's ever given the chance remains to be seen but I'd be skeptical.

Always.
Personally I prefer my 2 door cars without blood.

Well the vote today is just to bring it to the floor for debate. Which is supposed to be an everyday thing...but with these last couple of congresses it's worthy of throwing a kegger in the Rose Garden.

It's getting to the point where getting anything done is a victory. It's like tee ball with toddlers. They need a lot of praise for performing the simplest actions.

I'm aware of this, but I'm also aware of the context in which the statements were framed, and they were definite shots at his condition. Comments such as "now that he only has half a brain" aren't really open for interpretation.

... The Saudis? Don't seem to care about continuing to fund terrorism or giving them safe haven. But Trump didn't seem to mind giving them an arms deal discount....

ISIS would not exist if it wasn't for Obama and his policies regarding BUSH INVADING the Middle East.
Caitsith.Shiroi said: »
If anything Trump isn't doing better than Obama in the war against ISIS, but his claim to defeat ISIS with a 30 days plan was dumb.
Of course he had no plan. That is irrelevant.

McCain returns — backing and blasting his own party
Closing statement:
Quote:
I have every intention of returning here and giving many of you cause to regret all the nice things you said about me.

No, I did not. Reading comprehension must not be something taught in Texas. Canadian deers are more literate.

It just got 3 No votes from Graham, Corker and Paul. I think that might be that for the late night attempt. McCain voted yes.

If I'm reading this correctly, they were 60-vote proposals that were doomed to fail anyway (basically just show proposals for the constituents back home).

Somehow, the liberals would still blame Bush about that.
French Revolution? Bush took a ***200 years later, and the French got offended.
Vietnam? That war was so Bush can join the National Guard.
Civil War? Two Bushes and a Clinton conspired about that.
Crusades? Bush wanted a drink, so the Crusaders went to get him the Holy Grail.
Somehow, everything is Bush's fault, at least, according to the liberals and Obama faithful.

Bush opened the floodgates. Obama didn't close them.
But it really started with letting the Sha into this country for cancer treatments.
Although this is from my favorite lefty mommy blog there is no politics in this one, promise.

But hey, denying life-saving treatments to somebody you don't agree with is your prerogative, then don't blame me when doctors deny you life-saving treatments because your ideas made their lives a mess as it is today.
And here I thought liberals/democrats are supposed to be the party of compassion. I guess compassion only goes to people who they completely agree with. Remember, if you hold a pro-life stance, you aren't allowed in the party, even if you agree with anything/everything else they stand for. Because, well, reasons.
