A coup is when you force a democratically elected leader to drop out of an election race without a proper election of the new candidate first. So yes, I'll keep using that term in reference to the Dems.Dude, you obviously don't know or understand what a coup is, so maybe stop using that word.
But, let's talk CNN: What major story has CNN ignored or downplayed that impacts the Dems? Because I see articles about Emhoff on there.
And, I've already shown you how the right operates. It's an outrage factory that is built to sway folks into hating change, even if its for the better.
OK, fair point. But the fact remains that money is not being diverted away from helping Americans affected by natural disasters. Also, the scope of this hurricane was massive, and Milton is on its way. So, that's the reason they need more cash.Everyone knows that Congress will borrow whatever it takes to fund the recovery efforts. Money is also fungible and it all govt. money essentially comes from the same source unless it's a specific tax or fee to finance a specific govt. activity.
People might not like the rhetoric and it might be stated too emphatically, but the Republicans are highlighting the Administration's efforts to fund migrant resettlement and of course it's contrasted to funding other domestic crises. I'm not sure how it all started but I guess Mayorkas was saying FEMA needed more money. I would guess whether FEMA needs it immediately they will need money next year.
As I posted, the White House Press Secretary stated publicly that FEMA was helping to deal with the migrant crisis. It's very confusing.
You can hate it, but I think this is in the bounds of politics. I've seen far more egregious attempts to twist words and policies of political opponents. Here the White House seemed to be taking credit for FEMA assisting migrants.
By the way, Republicans (perhaps other than Trump) are giving more clarity on the issue. Debating and setting domestic priorities is what democratic governments do and practically spending on one thing takes away from other priorities.
A coup has a requirement for violence. That did not happen. If you look at the chain of events, it makes more sense that Biden realized he wasn't up for running, and he put the country ahead of his own ambitions. He's given full-throated support to Kamala Harris. And, it should be pointed out, that the Democrats did nothing against their rules, and that this wasn't undemocratic, no matter how the right tries to spin and discredit it.A coup is when you force a democratically elected leader to drop out of an election race without a proper election of the new candidate first.

You seriously believe CNN has not downplayed the Emhoff story but also believe that if it was about Trump they would give it the same level of exposure?
The right operates by showing what the left is doing by exposing their hypocrisy and virtue-signaling.
The left operates by trying to show what the right is doing but what they actually do is hide the fact that they do the same or worse.
"Biden realized"? Didn't he keep saying "my job's not done...I have a lot of important work to do..."...then he magically comes back after the debate to say he's "stepping aside"?A coup has a requirement for violence.

As for CNN, the thing to also keep in mind is that Emhoff is NOT running for office. If it were Walz or Harris herself with these types of allegations, there would be a bigger commotion about it. But, just like Hunter Biden or even Don Jr. they aren't running for anything. So, you are right, if it were Trump, it would be a bigger story....But, please, explain to me why that is wrong? One person could be president, the other would be....well....useless, like Melania or Jill Biden. So, you cannot compare the two, it's like comparing apples to bowling balls...
As for your hypothesis of how the left and right operate....I'll let you believe what ever makes you feel better. But, let's face facts, both sides do a lot of virtue signalling.
