President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

“Extremely unlikely” is not “completely impossible.”

 

Right. The Republican AGs who are wasting their taxpayers’ dollars are indeed traitorous liars. And yet you and the other non-eyores around here are assuming the three Trump-appointed SC justices are cut from entirely different cloth than the traitorous AGs who clearly put their party above country.
Obviously (and to the disappointment of so many of my fans around here) I disagree.

 

And those who are thinking about what a Trump alliance can do for them are thinking pretty short term. Dude isn’t 55 and in great shape.

 

As I said upstream, Trump will break every stick of furniture in America on his way out the door.

The idea that he needs time to process what's happened or that he's just gulling the suckers, has to be tempered by the fact that he'll take every inch you give him and more and that some institutional stooges somewhere will go along with him.

He's still dangerous.

 

I would not put anything past the Court's conservative majority. But they are also not stupid people, unlike many GOP elected officials. They know what the consequences of ruling for Trump would be, and that they would be seen as the authors of that chaos. Are they willing to live as figureheads in a one-party state ruled by the Leader? Maybe, but they'd also be diluting/destroying their own power.

 

What if they are not acting out of fear of Trump but instead out of support for the ideals he represents, namely fascism, religious autocracy and racism?

 

This is the most shocking thing. A president who got shelled by 7 million votes, leaves an economy on the brink of ruin, a pandemic claiming thousands of American lives, has a legal team that all need to be disbarred and is facing investigations when he leaves and has a real chance of being criminally indicted still has so much political sway. He should be persona non grata in this country (politically) and have his calls not returned. But his cult is not a small number and people still feel beholden.

 

azrael-

It's easy to break everything in sight when you've an Article II chamber running interference for your baby tantrums, for four years.

We'll see how bold he becomes when he's out of the safe space.

 

If they sign on to that, they are negating their own power to advance their agenda and ceding it to Trump.

 

As they will be doing if they don’t sign on and Biden subsequently packs the court.

 

Presuming we can get him out of his safe space.
