Remember, if no big names are judicially shamed, that means the whole January 6 embarrassment was okay.
"You see the mob takes the Fifth,” he said. “If you’re innocent, why are you taking the Fifth Amendment?”
These are the days, you put on a slick show.
If they didn't people would bitch that it looks cheap and was poorly advertised.
Lets not waste our time here.
Nobody dindu nuffin, but also the left is equally as bad. And it was antifa feds.
Ya know.
Load up the Everybody Does It cannon
Storming the Bundestag for some killin' n lootin' are good traditional values here.
I don't even know what your problem is.
You're aware someone was just charged with trying to assassinate a supreme court judge, yes?
His corn flakes have been soggy for a looooong time. at some point you'd think he'd sit the f down, shut the f up and enjoy the rest of his life
Member his fake blood? I member.
They should hold the dude and anyone that tried to make it happen accountable, agreed?
Real. Undisclosed surgery day prior IIRC
I don't see what that has to do with the previously quoted quip you made, but yes of course they should be held accountable.
I figured that given all this "January 6 was an attack on democracy" talk people would be infuriated about a more egregious and obvious attempt to overthrow it, but people don't see to care too much about it. Weird.
Explain please.
Supreme Court judges are the ones who rule on constitutional matters. By killing a Trump appointed judge to replace him with a Biden appointed one is a literal attempt to alter how the American democratic system is supposed to function.
On the other hand, having Pence not certify the election results doesn't change the elections outcome. This has apparently been mentioned in the proceedings by Pence"s own team.
Look, I'm a NYY fan and hate the guy, but there's nothing apparent on the googlies to support the ketchup theory
What's important is that Trump believed him to be wrong on that, and pressured him to overturn the results.
Given that public complacency is just what the GOP is counting on, it just might have worked.
Insurrection, nah.
He tried to start a fucking Civil War to soothe his ego.
There's not a lot to suggest he was trying to start a civil war.
It also doesn't have anything to do with a Bidenite trying to assassinate a supreme court judge.
There's no doubt in either of our minds that Trump would've very happily stood by while shit happened that kept him in the Oval Office.
Now, given that he said he wouldn't accept the outcome of an election he loses, and given his inaction when his bullshit led to the riot (I was dumb enough at the time to think "Well the least he can do is give a televised address to the Nation.")...
It's not a great leap. He wanted to stay in power, wouldn't accept defeat, and lit a fire under his brainless idiot worshipers.
If it had gone to Pence and he'd pussed out, many of the people whose votes suddenly didn't matter would pick up weapons.
That led us to this thread. He still leads the party, and they're nearly all lapdogs. His worst, clearly violent followers still believe the election was stolen. This is still a thing, it's not over yet.
thats not what Pence's team said about that. he said there would have been short-term and long-term consequences if Pence had rejected the electors
short-term, his counsel said that if Pence had done it, there would have been a very messy political jumpball that would have to be resolved in the courts. he also said that there would have been chaos on the streets
long term, he said that would have set precedent that the VP has the power to reject an election
Maybe I'm withlol Beard of KNOWLEDGE
@BeardOfKnowledge on it. I suppose you could pitch the next day on that, but jeez Louise.
No one said he didn't have surgery.lol Beard of KNOWLEDGE
