U.S. Presidential Election 2020

Graceless until the end

This looks like one of those fake pay up or we’ll tell your mom where you’ve been surfing sort of notices from 10 years or so ago 🙂

The gold plated bawbag has just tweeted that he won’t be attending Biden’s inauguration.

It’ll be too cold to stand outside for hours in an orange jumpsuit anyway.

I’m liking Sidney Powell being sued by Dominion.  As much as I hate the power of big money lawyers, you shouldn’t be able to throw around accusations in public unless you have at least a little amount of proof.

Nice summary from John Bercow, who stopped Trump from speaking in parliament when the Tory’s wanted to roll out the red carpet

John Bercow on President Trump:

..You cannot believe a word this big mouthed thug says

..He's disgraced himself

..He's disgraced his office

..He's disgraced American democracy

..He's racist

..He's sexist

..He has no respect for anybody else#skynews #fbpe #CapitolRiots pic.twitter.com/9PZu5aJ0cA

Multiple reports that circumstances of one of Wednesday’s fatalities involved the attempted theft of a painting of Tip O’Neill, the accidental discharge of a poorly holstered taser and the miscreant’s testicles.

Impeachment was always going to be harder to justify when he was pretending to be conciliatory.

This is borderline conciliatory. Still, remember he’s a complete **** liar though.

the attempted theft of a painting of Tip O’Neill,

Just the Tip?

So, applying Trump’s own rationale when commentating on the BLM protesters, these lot are nothing more than a bunch of looters?

That’s hitting multple Darwin award criteria.

Copied from a tweet,

“And when they had gone to the trouble of providing a high chair and crayons to keep him entertained…”

This made me laugh:

The way this white guy reclaimed the term ‘cracker’ is brilliant. I think it’s the perfect casual epithet to describe Teumpists.

If the Republicans split the new party should call themselves ‘The Cracker Party’. It’s certainly what I’ll be calling them.

Though if you mix crackers with the Tea Party it’ll end in a soggy mess.

Removing political interference from the judicial system is an easy sell to all parties supporters, it is selling an argument their is universal agreement for, but it is a power I suspect the politicians want to weld, so that is the only reason they won’t try, not because it can’t be done.

You seemed to suggest that it would be an easy thing to achieve. I really think that’s not the case.

I may have misinterpreted, and you meant that it would have widespread support outside politics, though I’m not sure that’s true either.

However…

So you agree, it’s not that it can’t be done that’s the problem, it’s not the republicans stopping them from trying, but because they don’t want to fix the system.

Beginning a post with “so you agree” and then stating something you seem to think that isn’t support by what I wrote isn’t a good start! I certainly don’t agree with that.

You’ll also notice I (deliberately) didn’t mention either party.

Oops…voting machine people bite back

Isn’t photo #36 above Stephen Mulhern from BGT?

It’s hard to see how that lawsuit against Powell can fail. Trump and his sycophants have been shouting about having evidence without actually providing anything close since his loss. Dominion will have, as they state in the lawsuit, demonstrable evidence that there has been no tampering.

It would be lovely to see them slapped with a 1.3 billion dollar charge!

And it’d be impossible to claim there’s no damage/lasting harm, or intent for that to occur- nobody had even heard of Dominion before this election but now they’re a bogeyman and that’ll keep coming back to bite them in every future election. If you were speccing a voting machine for your state/country/whatever, that could easily influence the decision- things have to not just be safe and reliable but also trusted and these lies and fantasies from places that should be respectable and reliable will definitely undermine that.

This is where it all started.

Marina Hyde warning of what’s to come in the UK now that we’ve put the word ‘news’ in parenthesis.

Just catching up and it’s of interest that only Federal crimes can be pardoned by El Presidente. State crimes are only pardoned by the state governor, hello New York! At 1 minute after he ceases to be CIC I expect that Governor Cuomo’s legal representation will invite Mr Trump to try on some stylish jewellery in stainless steel and take a ride in a state vehicle.

Pelosi has contacted Mark Milley, chief of the general staff, about how to ‘…prevent an unhinged president from accessing the nuclear codes’.
No further information published- yet.

This is Roseanne Boyland, the woman who was crushed to death by her fellow domestic terrorists during the attack on the Capitol. The flag she was carrying, if you don’t recognise it, says “Don’t Tread On Me”

This is like Darwin Award with bar – not only does the perp destroy his ability to procreate, he then manages to remove himself from the gene pool entirely.

Re the fox style news here: dunno if anyone has noticed but Talk Radio has already gone full far-right wacko – their YouTube channel is a scary place.

And been blocked, I think I read the other day.

Was unblocked but with a content warning within a day

Andrew Neil has been going after anyone that says he’s a trump apologist on twitter, completely ignoring the spectator & other RW journos, who have relentlessly told us trump isn’t a fascist for the last 5 years

The Tories suddenly dismayed at trump, who have been cheering them on, likewise full of shit

The Brexit-trump-banon-Tufton Street axis all of sudden are a bit upset that they’ve been exposed for what they are

But they’ll regain control of the narrative again soon

senate going 50-49?

I think it’ll be a toss-up between Trump and Bannon as to who gets thrown in prison first.

Hmm. Looks like the Trumpets will have found their ‘Antifa’ leader of the riot 🙄

A prominent left-wing activist from Utah was among the pro-Trump mob, according to multiple videos from Wednesday’s invasion of the Capitol.

But John Sullivan, 26, says he was just there to “document” it.

I always thought it was the same thing as the sun.

Not at all, they’re different things. The moon is at least useful as it provides some illumination at night. The sun, on the other hand, only ever comes out in the day when it’s light anyway.

Looks like Pelosi is going for impeachment.

I know it needs a two thirds majority to pass but it’s better to impeach now and hold McConnell, Graham and the like to their word. If they were to vote against impeachment it would make their words of the last few days meaningless, they would be back to enabling Trump and be complicit with anything he does over the next 2 weeks.

We would see how quickly they would all scuttle back under their rocks, rationalizing that it would be good for the Republicans If the Democrats had to deal with all of the fall out from the traitorous actions in the first few weeks of their term.

The Republican Party owns this, they need to be made to own it. They sucked for 4 years now they have to swallow.

If the Democrats go ahead with impeachment and the Republicans play silly buggers then it could hasten the splitting of the Republican Party. The cowards in the Republican party (99% of the party) need to have their hand forced, saying ‘count me out’ and admiting that you lied is not enough.

I’ve also heard that an impeachment effort only needs a majority of one to disbar a person from standing for public office ever again?….which would be nice. The Intel isn’t 100% on that one though I think it to be the case, (constitutional expert to the forum, you know who you are).

Honestly terrifying to read.

The BBC being reigned in, a large minority absolutely GAGGING for a UK version of FOX to “tell us the troof”…. and we get TWO Fox clones to f*uk this country up even more than it already is.

Dark times indeed.

It’s a bitch when you change sides too late as
NO-ONE likes you.

Lindsey Graham content. Hassled by trumpists at airport vid. https://edition.cnn.com/videos/politics/2021/01/08/lindsey-graham-airport-trump-supporters-vpx.cnn

Has trump’s Twitter account actually been suspended now? Just shows an “Account suspended” message.

Poops,

Trump didn’t write the textbook for fascism, the Republican party has spent the last 40 years writing it.

Things you need to do to turn a democracy into a fascist state :

1.
Take control of the media. (Or rewrite legislation to allow opinion to pass as news as happened under Reagan)

2.
Make one section of the population feel ‘more American’ than others. This is what the Republicans did under Reagan by courting the white evangelicals, giving them the impression they are ‘the chosen ones’. We saw this play out in the capitol building, as selfies were taken with police and particularly in the moments right after the shooting when one of the mob texting on his phone gestures dismissively to a policeman who is asking him politely to move as a woman lies dying on the ground, he has a text message to finish after all. The epitome of entitlement, both demanded and granted.

3.
Arm the f***ers, as did Bush when he legalised assault rifles and extended open carry. Without all the guns on display things wouldn’t have come to this.

4.
Put democracy up for sale, as was done when limits on individual party donations were removed by pressure from the Tea Party.

Sorry if I’ve repeated some of these points but they are the fundements of what is going on here, Trump is not an anomaly.

Do these 4 things in any democratic country and you will destroy democracy. All were missing in the UK is the guns bit.

Has trump’s Twitter account actually been suspended now? Just shows an “Account suspended” message

awesome.  I think the deal with being reinstated before was to delete 3 tweets and then place nice. Clearly the playing nice bit lasted about 3 hours

Just read something saying it’s permanent. Is it possible to have a permanent suspension? Either way it’s long overdue…

Washington Post says it’s permanent.

Impeachment will take too long; 25th amendment is the only viable option but won’t happen because pence and the requisite number of cabinet members won’t propose it.
State legal cases will destroy trump.

Trump banned permanently from Twitter!
