U.S. Presidential Election

I feel as if I'm living in a disaster movie, attempted coup in the USA, in the midst of a pandemic.  Except it's real.

Trumps latest tweet shows he’s went totally feral.  His rhetoric will not stop. He’s not listening to Pence or his advisors.

and I bet Putin is watching this pissing himself laughing.

Michael Bay made his movie too early it seems.

Wouldn’t be acceptable as a movie plot. Far too unrealistic

What's next then, 25th gets invoked and Pence pardons Trump?

I know that many of us were expecting this kind of nonsense in some way it is no less shocking to watch it play out.  Undoubtedly the police are going to get some stick for the difference in how they've treated this mob and the treatment of those demonstrating who were cleared so Trump could hold a bible upside down in a park.  I do think however that they have done a decent job of preventing escalation thus far at least.

Pence is no longer on team Trump.

Personally I don't think anything will happen, they'll be tense words and moments but I don't think they'll invoke the 25th.

A woman is dead because of this bullshit.

Trunp has to face charges.

In a vacuum, I'm also okay with the way things have been handled since people got inside - this was a situation that had to be given as little chance as possible to escalate further.

The big problems are the fact they were able to get inside in the first place and, as you say, the comparison with how other situations within the last year have been handled.

Just wait for an objection to that and other things get brought up first.

Or is it just part of the plan?

[Hugh Jass]

Good luck to anyone stupid enough to raise an objection now.

Do you think, or maybe this might have just scared them into realising it's not just a political/legal game.

CNN saying that aides have spoken about the 25th amendment but there are so many lackeys on Trump's cabinet that it's unlikely to happen.

No. They've turned against him.

It would also make no material difference whatsoever given he's got less than two weeks in office anyway.

[stuartbert two hats]

WTF is going on with the extraordinarily light policing? Orders from Trump?

They're just walking out.

 

[Reckoner]

Just woke up. What did I miss? (Stupid time zone)

Its a failed state at this point. The cabinet is full of lackeys who’ve been enabling this nonsense so I can’t see the 25th being invoked.

Have you forgotten Trump is a fucking mentalist? Way too dangerous to do nothing for two weeks.

Yes that's true, if the 25th can be enacted that quickly.
