Mega-Thread: Trump Focused Discussion

**Kathranis** · 2021-01-06, 04:12 PM

The DoJ needs to investigate, expose, and prosecute everyone involved in any illegal attempts to influence the election. We cannot, under any circumstance, let this become the way elections are handled going forward. This behavior needs to be penalized and discouraged. It's already too late to nip it in the bud and it's clear that Republicans don't have any integrity, so they need to face consequences.

Yes, I know it's easy for his base to spin Trump as a Martyr, but Trump has crossed so many lines and made Watergate look like a joke, that just to actually withhold rule of law and so that we don't actually have competent dictators-in-the-making eventually come in and use Trump's actions as a new baseline, he 100% should be investigated and incriminated with sufficient evidence.

It's actually a lot easier to just pardon/ignore Trump but ultimately is the worse decision to make.

On a separate note, are there precautions taken so he and his family can't flee the country yet?

Yes, it happened when Trump was inaugurated, given the highest security clearance possible, and idiotically insisted that his moron kids also be given that clearance. There’s no way the CIA lets a group of people like that out of their sight, ever.

BREAKING: Trump supporters have breached the Capitol building, tearing down 4 layers of security fencing and are attempting to occupy the building — fighting federal police who are overrun

This is the craziest thing I’ve ever seen in my life. Thousands, police can’t stop them

Crazy stuff.

Why does everyone keep sharing this Blaze reporter claiming something that his own video doesn't show?

Yup letting this go means the next republican president will be a dictator.

VP Pence has penned a letter to members of Congress:

Trump won't be happy when he reads that (or has it read to him).

TL - DR: "My role is to preside over the session and ensure that objections are heard. It is not to decide whether votes shall be counted or not".

**Aphelios** · 2021-01-06, 07:22 PM

Trump was right you know. The Republicans have a death wish.

Actually I think he will.

1) Notice the careful wording, especially the second half of the second page. He's not saying "Don't do it". He's saying "I can't do it, you have to do it for me".

2) Pence signed that shit in Sharpie. If he didn't want Trump to read it, he wouldn't have signed it in Sharpie taking up half a page.

I wonder if Trump will end up getting impeached for this? He basically incited it.

Moscow Mitch seems to have had enough of him, and you'd think a lot of otherwise reticent Republican Senators might take a dim view on their own safety being compromised by Trump.

Nah. He already got impeached. And he is out the door soon anyway, so Republicans won't do shit. Plus, I think he is already in some major legal troubles after he is out.

Today is the final proof of what I've been saying for years.

Trump is a stochastic terrorist.

**Kallisto** · 2021-01-06, 08:44 PM

Remember these words Trump said back in the first debate.

Stand Back and Stand By.

Well, they stood back, stood by for your views Trump and they acted.

THIS IS ALL ON TRUMP.

**Breccia** · 2021-01-06, 08:55 PM

Trump orders the National Guard on his own followers.

Cross-posting because fuck every square inch of this shit.

Mike Pence didn’t have the courage to do what should have been done to protect our Country and our Constitution, giving States a chance to certify a corrected set of facts, not the fraudulent or inaccurate ones which they were asked to previously certify. USA demands the truth!
