Yep- just unbelievable- they said those at the Capitol were Democrats and antifa infiltrators

This is seriously worrying

Why is it idiotic? He did incite violence. Sorry, but not under the rug this time.

You see, the fact that you would even presume to voice the notion of anyone, let alone any woman, having a secret abduction fantasy just, presumably, to provoke a reaction is troubling.

But yes, you got a reaction. Bravo. Your post is vile.

This will prevent him from taking any public office, including potential, even though unlikely, run in 2024.

Not according to CNN.

"4) Even a Senate vote to remove Trump would not prohibit him from running in 2024; for the Senate to ban him from the presidency, it would have to hold an additional vote on this question."

"Neither a second House impeachment nor even a Senate vote to convict Trump and remove him from office would prevent him from running again, in 2024 or beyond.

Rather, after two-thirds of senators present voted to remove Trump, a simple majority of senators present would have to approve an additional vote to bar him from the presidency in the future.

The Senate could not skip the conviction-and-removal vote that requires two-thirds of senators and go straight to the simple-majority vote for future disqualification, Ross Garber, an impeachment and political investigations lawyer who teaches at Tulane Law School, told CNN.

There is at least some uncertainty about the disqualification issue, since no president has ever been removed from office by the Senate and only judges have been disqualified from future office. The disqualification language in the Constitution is "disqualification to hold and enjoy any Office of honor, Trust or Profit under the United States"; Garber noted that no court or Congress has ever settled the question of whether the presidency counts as an "Office of honor, Trust or Profit under the United States" from which the Senate is able to ban an impeached and convicted person. (Garber said he personally thinks the presidency does count.)"

Still if they think being President of the United States isn't a position of honor and trust they need their own heads examining. Though I'm pretty certain Trump's profited from it a lot.

"A big lie (German: große Lüge) is a propaganda technique used for political purpose. The expression was coined by Adolf Hitler, when he dictated his 1925 book Mein Kampf, about the use of a lie so "colossal" that no one would believe that someone "could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously."

How liars create the ‘illusion of truth’

"Repeat a lie often enough and it becomes the truth”, is a law of propaganda often attributed to the Nazi Joseph Goebbels. Repetition makes a fact seem more true, regardless of whether it is or not. Understanding this effect can help you avoid falling for propaganda, says psychologist Tom Stafford."

Armed protests being planned at all 50 state capitols, FBI bulletin says
An internal FBI note obtained by ABC News shows warnings of "a huge uprising."

"Starting this week and running through at least Inauguration Day, armed protests are being planned at all 50 state capitols and at the U.S. Capitol, according to an internal FBI bulletin obtained by ABC News.

The FBI has also received information in recent days on a group calling for “storming” state, local and federal government courthouses and administrative buildings in the event President Donald Trump is removed from office prior to Inauguration Day. The group is also planning to “storm” government offices in every state the day President-elect Joe Biden will be inaugurated, regardless of whether the states certified electoral votes for Biden or Trump."

So these idiots are willing to defend Trump with violence even though he completely threw them under the bus after the Capitol riot?

These people are as bright as a black hole.

From the "you could not make this stuff up" department.
He did not mention that the litigation was so far successful.

And yet more.....
Am I really living in this world or is it some sort of alcohol induced nightmare

In fact I wasn't talking to you, there's no "proviking a reaction". I'm not surprised though that you couldn't resist.

Quote from the article

It's bizarre -- what a warped sense of entitlement some people have.

Because it's pointless, and will incite violence.

Just as I called it!

Tom

And in the too little too late category;
and finally
Police so blatantly taking sides is very worrying.

I didn't agree with us calling it a coup attempt, until I read this interesting article in Politico about 30min. ago: https://www.politico.com/news/magazi...na-hill-457549

They're essentially trying to hold the country hostage. "Cater to our demands, or else..."

Yup, nice article and they are indeed describing a form of coup.

LOL... so predictable. What these dumbass Republicans who in their greed and fear-induced haze worked to support Trump in subverting Democracy apparently didn't think of was the devestating reputational impact it would have, including their oh-so-precious sources of funding https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/...s-capitol-riot

I mean seriously, if these guys have any strategic advisors at all then they need to fire them and hire some 15 year olds... because who couldn't have seen things like this coming back to bite them in the ass? Almost all companies of significance and repute who have the funds to support politics (or almost anything else for that matter) in a material way usually have VERY strict conditions for giving money to any institutions. The moment the people they donate to become the embodiment of fascism and anti-democratic then they basically an no longer give them money unless they want to have serious ethical questions raised.

It's just mind-boggling how utterly brain dead the GOP are.

exactly. also the entitlement of some of these people...it's not cancel culture it's consequences and accountability...the trending of #noflylist is particularly satisfying to watch. But even with that someone made a good point:
"Entitlement is being able to commit a felony and cry about not being able to fly home. Oppression is being murdered by the police while sleeping." #BLM

You know, there was going to be violence either way.

It looks like a conspiracy of Karens
