My lawyer posted something pro-insurrection on Facebook. “Be careful of those saying an ‘Insurrection’ occurred, it was a riot.” I responded forcefully to his comment, telling him that one of his clients predicted this Insurrection long before January 6th, providing links to two threads, the first being my thread of 11.9.2020 predicting a coup: > [@The American Coup: 11.9.2020 -](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-american-coup-11-9-2020/925182): > > thinking Trump fired his Secretary of Defense, replaced Esper with Chris Miller. This is a totally normal thing for an outgoing President to prioritize. Esper then says, in an interview in Military Times, that for the George Floyd protests he (Esper) would not support Trump’s desire to invoke the Insurrection Act against the Floyd protesters: [[Google Photos] ](https://photos.app.goo.gl/9xqbCpACp8jJAxHG6) We know if you’re Donald Trump and you want troops on the streets for a Portland police stat… The second thread was the January 6th thread itself: > [@6 January 2021; A Day worth a Thread](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/6-january-2021-a-day-worth-a-thread/929770): > > I’m starting this now so it is in place (it is 10:30pm Central, 11:30pm Eastern as I type this) when the day dawns. I know we have more than a few threads, but IMHO January 6th is going to be a day of such consequence that it deserves to be remembered by it’s own stand-alone thread. I mean, tomorrow: a. Should bring about a final result in the Georgia Senate Races, and if…if…they go Democratic, there will be loud and vociferous reaction. b. An unknown number of Proud Boys and other reaction… I also noted that the Insurrection began long before 1.6.2021, reminding him the first impeachment was about Trump gaming the election via coercing a country to generate fake evidence. I then called him this morning to pull my business. I did not say why… and there isn’t a lot to pull, to be honest, only talking to his assistant. … and he has since deleted the post! Which sucks because I so wanted to post a screenshot of it here. Hasn’t blocked me yet, might need his kid to tell him how. 😂 --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/if-im-looking-for-a-therapist-is-it-ok-to-ask-if-they-are-a-trump-supporter/928400)._
