Mega-Thread: Trump Focused Discussion

I wish. What does he have to gain from supporting Trump now? Trump put him in a lose-lose position and then threw him under the bus.

Pence is a grade A slime ball he wants to be president in 2024 he won't grow a spine now.

More on this line, actually:

"Chairman Milley and I [Secretary of Defense Miller] just spoke separately with the Vice President and with speaker Pelosi, Leader McConnel, Senator Schumer, and Representative Hoyer about the situation at the U.S. Capitol."

Interesting, nation is going to wake up to a hangover that's for certain.

Luckily besides the single murder at Capitol Hill it did not lead to shooting in the streets.

I guess dumbfuck thinks he'll somehow win the Presidency on Jan 6th:

See you in Washington, DC, on January 6th. Don’t miss it. Information to follow!

To quote one of the guys I worked with at the airport a few years ago . . . "fuckin' retard."

Well, it's January 6th.

Logic doesn't apply to Republican decision making.

Turns out the National Guard was activated on Pence's orders, and not Trump's.

Oh...that's um...interesting. I didn't know he was allowed to do that.

A note to Republicans with presidential ambitions, if you vote to impeach and remove Trump, he is barred from ever holding office again. Just a thought!

Ha! For scumbags like Cruz and Hawley, this should encourage to get Trump out of the way.

This is snark of course, Republicans are cowards. But it is true, Trump could not run again if removed l.

I thought it was Northam?

Honestly I didn't know he was either. But from the context in the other link I provided with Miller's statement, it looks like they're just going over Trump's head entirely on this one and I'm not sure he's going to get out ahead of this and enforce it.

[Gorsameth]

Does it matter if he can or not when no one but Trump is going to stop him?

[PACOX]

I mean would anyone check the legality of it in the middle of a crisis? I hope not (but can think of some scenarios where I would hope they would).

[Breccia]

Yes.

Don't get me wrong, if Trump keeps saying "the election was stolen" and otherwise fanning the flames, despite our local defenders claiming otherwise, and not taking action, I'm glad someone moved.

But if Pence is acting Commander in Chief...

[Twdft]

If that is as close as it gets, then there is nothing here. Walking down to the Capitol and showing strength have nothing to do with storming the building. If you believe that was a call to riot and occupy the building, then you are mentally equal to those participating in those actions.

Trump actually could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody and would still have your support. And the sad thing is, you would actually believe he did nothing wrong.

I hope someday you get back from your alternate reality.

[Antiganon]

I thought it was Northam?

That's the VA guard. The DC guard was also activated (after the first request from DC Mayor Bowser was denied by DoD leadership).

Congressional leaders are in the undisclosed location and focusing on the 25th Amendment to get @realDonaldTrump out of office!

It would seem that Trump has passed his use-by date.

Invoking 25A.4 would allow Congress and the cabinet to immediately suspend Trump and make Pence acting President until inauguration day.

I will believe it when I see it the GOP is scared shitless of Trump.

[TigTone]

I feel the same way, but this time the GOP had bombs planted near them.

And the info is out that trump wasn’t going to do shit to keep the terrorist cultists in line.

Pence was the one to call the FBI and National Gaurd.
