To be fair, President Trump’s four years in office weren’t so bad, except when when he incited an insurrection against the government, mismanaged a pandemic that killed nearly half a million Americans

You seem really pissed off for a nontrumper.  Just laugh at the trumpers, bro.  They’re really gullible dumbfucks who worship this orange blob…you know, people completely unlike yourself.

sarcasm aside, it's amazing...that he can open up a briefcase with a keypad and he can't type "STOLEN ELECTION" but he can type "IV-937-AN-452-KA-069" and suddenly there's no longer a Pakistan.

Don't over-hype your nation dude, it's not a sticky note.  It's the backside of a Burger King coupon attached via masking tape.  

We may not make it as a nation through the year, but we're all getting a free medium onion rings with our Whopper, Jr before 3/31/21

Quote

It wasn’t hard to see, when it began, that it would end exactly the way it has. Donald Trump is America’s willful arsonist, the man who lit the match under the fabric of our constitutional republic.

The duty of the House of Representatives and the Senate, once they certify Joe Biden’s election, is to reconvene, Wednesday night if possible, to impeach the president and then remove him from office and bar him from ever holding office again.

 

Quote

To allow Trump to serve out his term, however brief it may be, puts the nation’s safety at risk, leaves our reputation as a democracy in tatters and evades the inescapable truth that the assault on Congress was an act of violent sedition aided and abetted by a lawless, immoral and terrifying president.

From the moment Trump became the G.O.P. front-runner in 2015, it was obvious who he was and where, if given the chance, he would take America. He was a malignant narcissist in his person. A fraudster in his businesses. A bully in his relationships. And a demagogue in his politics.

 

Quote

He did not have ideas. He had bigotries. He did not have a coalition. He had crowds. He did not have character. He had a quality of confident shamelessness, the kind that offered his followers permission to be shameless, too.

All this was obvious — but was not enough to stop him. America in 2015 had many problems, many of which had gone too long ignored and were ripe for populist exploitation. But by far the biggest problem of that year was that a major political party capitulated to a thug. And the biggest problem of every subsequent year has been that more and more of that party has excused, ignored, forgiven, colluded in and celebrated his thuggery.

 

Spoiler

Think of Mike Pompeo, our sycophantic secretary of state, who in March 2016 warned that Trump would be “an authoritarian president who ignored our Constitution,” and who, after the election had been called for Biden in November, promised “a smooth transition to a second Trump administration.”

The Republican Party is now walking to the edge of moral irredeemability. I say this as someone who, until 2016, had always voted the straight Republican ticket and who, until this week, had hoped that Republicans would hold the Senate as a way of tilting the Biden administration to the center. I say this also of the party generally, and not of the courageous individual Republicans — Brad Raffensperger, Mitt Romney, Denver Riggleman, Larry Hogan, Ben Sasse (the list is depressingly short) — who have preserved their principles, maintained their honor and kept their heads these past five years.

But there is no getting away from the extent to which leading party members and their cheerleaders in the right-wing media are complicit in creating the political atmosphere in which this Visigothic sacking of the Capitol took place.

The legal hucksters, from Rudy Giuliani to Mark Levin, who promoted demonstrably debunkable claims about electoral fraud, are complicit. All of those supposedly sober-minded conservatives who encouraged the president to “pursue his legal options” (knowing full well they were bunk, but with the assurance that they would settle doubts about the validity of the vote) are complicit. The 126 House Republicans who signed on to the preposterous brief supporting the Texas lawsuit to overturn the election — flicked away in a single paragraph by the Supreme Court — are complicit. Ted Cruz, whom I once described as a “serpent covered in Vaseline” but who turns out to be considerably worse, is complicit. Josh Hawley and the rest of the Senate cynics, who tried to obstruct Biden’s election certification in a transparent bid to corner the market on Trumpian craziness, are complicit. Mike Pence, who cravenly humored Trump’s fantasies right till the moment of constitutional truth, is complicit. (If there’s an argument against Trump’s removal from office, he alone is it.)

Some of these charlatans are now trying to disavow Wednesday’s violence in carefully phrased tweets. But Cruz, Hawley, Pence and the other Bitter-Enders have done far more lasting damage to Congress than the mob that — merely by following their lead — physically trashed it. Broken doors can be fixed. Broken parties cannot.

Above all there is the president, not complicit but wholly, undeniably and unforgivably responsible.

For five years, Republicans let him degrade political culture by normalizing his behavior. For five years, they let him wage war on democratic norms and institutions. For five years, they treated his nonstop mendacity as a quirk of character, not a disqualification for office. For five years, they treated his rallies as carnivals of democracy, not as training grounds for mob rule.

For five years, they thought this was costless. On Wednesday — forgive the cliché, but it’s apt here — their chickens came home to roost.

Every decent society depends for its survival on its ability to be shocked — and stay shocked — by genuinely shocking behavior. Donald Trump’s entire presidency has been an assault on that idea.

There is only one prescription for it now. Impeach the president and remove him from office now. Ban him forever from office now. Let every American know that, in the age of Trump, there are some things that can never be allowed to stand, most of all Trump himself.

Gandorf-your penchant for the denouement is Larry David-esque.  With a bit of darker Mamet thrown in.  

Keep in mind though, my 9000 comment was related to the luggage post in between.  But still, big kudos.  

Feels good to laugh before bed.  My neighbor just asked me outside while we're taking our trash out, 'Hey we just got back from California, you follow politics---did something happen in DC today?'  I thought he was kidding, but he wasn't.  And I didn't have the energy to tell him anything in depth, so I told him that some shit got real in DC today.  And now tomorrow, my wife has to field questions from his wife asking if I'm okay.  And I'm not, but not because of this.  I miss regular insanity.

If the Pentagon is bypassing Trump to deal with Pence directly on securing the Capitol, surely, on everything holy, they aren’t actually letting Trump have nuclear authority or any other real CIC powers at this point.   I hope and pray that’s the case, anyway.  

after the hacking recently, I hope not. He shouldn't be trusted with a cell phone.

For most of these assclowns, their party got broken up and they're done.  Their jobs are done, they have to face families with kids who are going to remind them they saw their dickhole parents on the news and inter webs, their leadership is done.  They're going to be even more hateful and spiteful from their actions because they're cowards blaming other for their failures.  There's some things that can't be purged and unseen and these people are among them.  Hopefully, they get to live on the run like they forced many migrants.  There's a special shame for these assholes, and they branded themselves.  And they lost their little capitol photo session, all respect and at the polls.  Traitors aren't forgotten.

Seriously. What are y’all’s guesses about what happens between today and the inauguration?

Here are some of my guesses

Attack Iran - 75% chance

Trump runs to foreign country - 60% chance

MAGA riot/terrorism somewhere - 40% chance

Trump doesn’t leave WH - 15% chance

Trump tweets a shitload of conspiracy theories and blames Pence for his loss - 100% chance



MAGA riot/terrorism somewhere - 101% chance

I wonder how many this morning are trying to figure out Trump's remaining paths to victory.

Too many. The danger is ongoing and very very real. Complete conjecture on my part, but I don't believe Trump's going to leave peacefully, the statement that was released is designed to buy some time to let more unrest foment nationwide. It isn't just Trump that wants this. Those other folks I mentioned in another thread late last night that are hanging around on the fringes--the ones who have a less public role than the elected officials like Cruz and Hawley--someone who thinks a power grab or the chance to make more $$ is within reach are making plans. All the pardoned criminals who are grifting a buck, Roger Stone and friends--they are out there working: destroying what they can to get what they want.

The public officials, I'm sure some of the enablers regret their actions but I'm cynical to the point that 'power by any means necessary' is rationalized as 'my constituents want this so it's okay or any other delusion that keeps them seated in DC. It's not like they're going to resign.

This thread below on Trump is not wrong and although she doesn't have the check mark, she's a good 'follow' into the mindset of the desperate dementia musings of Donald Trump.

 

 

Also and this is VERY IMPORTANT:

That statement means nothing. It's like CDC's statement of support for Herman. He could get back on twitter tomorrow and tell everyone to get their asses back to the capitol and finish the job. 

He could also fire everyone that he appointed. Some people are saying he's fond of that.
