Mega-Thread: Trump Focused Discussion

Trumper Shill.

Weird the timestamp is blacked out.

But Twitter for iPad? Wasn't he saying a few months back that he doesn't use Twitter and doesn't look at it and can't comment on Tweets because he never uses it?

lol when people try to overthrow the govt and shut down 84 million people who voted for Biden, ya Vengeance is required.

oh soooooooooooo radical holding people accountable for their actions.
what happened to the law and order party that wanted to send hillary to jail for life because of emails???

So it really looks like they won't have the votes to convict currently, so I suppose we'll have to see if the trial itself actually sways Republicans one way or the other. Pretty unlikely, given how Senate "debates" are really just ways for them to give their little one-sided spiels.

Let them. Let the cameras in. Let investigations / testimony occur. Put cameras in there and let the American public see it first hand.

They hoped this little ploy would sway them from even holding a trial. The GOP doesn't want this splashed across the front page of America.

shut down 84 million people who voted for Biden

It's closer to 81 million, but the spirit of your post is still strong. Trump and his supporters keep saying "but but but a bunch of people voted for Trump!" without admiting more people voted for Biden.

Our Ruling

McConnell said, "This election actually was not unusually close."

By most metrics — including electoral votes, the popular vote margin, the percentage of the vote he won, and the margins in the seven closest states — Biden did put up impressive numbers compared with recent presidential winners.

The sole notable sign of a close race was that, due to the vagaries of the electoral college, only about 66,000 more votes for Trump — if they were perfectly allocated among the right states — would have flipped the election from Biden to Trump. But that dynamic has been the case in other recent presidential elections.

We rate the statement True.

Take it from the turtle himself. Biden won. Get over it.

But that'd require them to admit that the votes for Biden were actually real.

Voters have trouble remembering what happened last week, its unlikely people will vote differently 2 years from now because of their congressmen voting for/against conviction.

So here's the deal. I went through some pretty grueling physical therapy yesterday and it's still making me feel like I ran a marathon while juggling boulders today. Even sitting here at the computer it's a struggle to keep my arms at keyboard height and I already blew all of my burst typing on posts in other threads, so now I'm really not up for anything except laying down and watching the rest of Kung Fu Hustle. Y'all are getting another short report today and given that last week's national holiday screwed up the numbers a bit again there's not really much point to comparing anyway.

148,265 new cases with a few states still not reporting, so that'll go up a bit. 4,045 deaths brings the total to 435,452. If new case numbers have been (relatively) accurate the past few weeks then this total should start going down soon. Hopefully this will be the last week we see 4k dailies.

Stay safe, folks. Time to go watch Stephen Chow play a clown who ultimately tears shit up.

I think Trump is already gearing up for a 2024 run. Hawley just announced a hard NO to the question - doesn't mean he can't change his mind of course. Romney would be the best bet on the anti-Trump GOP side, but he's almost a stand-alone now.

[Kathranis]

Watched the new Frontline documentary tonight, "Trump's American Carnage."

Really gives a strong idea of how his presidency will be remembered by history: a veritable horror story.

Also makes you wonder how his many facilitators can live with themselves.

They likely want to turn away attention from Trump and the GOP's failures and get focused on smearing Biden as quickly as possible.

A protracted senate hearing to impeach with GOP senators breaking rank will only bring them into the limelight, when what they really want to do is start pretending to care about the deficit and other things that Trump destroyed but that they'll complain Biden isn't fixing fast enough.

Perhaps they figure that they, internally, can keep Trump from being a factor ever again. Like I've said before, if there's any "soul" searching in the GOP, it's about how they're going to bring Trump's followers back into the fold. Perhaps they feel voting to impeach might alienate them too much.

Also makes you wonder how his many facilitators can live with themselves.

By refusing to admit they did anything wrong, of course. It's clear these people have no moral scruples or spines; I don't see why they'd ever grow one now or in the future.

Running in 2024 is not even an option for Trump, the only way he can make any money is by stealing I mean fundraising off his zombie cult.

I'm sure they'll be able to...afford it.

Which is ironic if you consider his support in prophecy circles. God... give me a sign that Trump is a good man!... The plague happens... No, god, give me a different sign!

Joe Biden is elected president... No, god, not that sign. Give me a different sign!

The majority of it starts like the MLK speech... ‘I had a dream’... but, ends in a horrifying dystopia...

A trial is going to be VERY bad optics for the GOP. It's why they want it to end quickly. There is so much we have yet to uncover, more specifically, who was in Trump's pocket that delayed the response / resulted in there being very lax security at the Capitol building during this time?

Once it all comes out, it will look like a full-on coup attempt and their continued support for him will be terrible.

You're right that voters have very short memories but PACs don't and will run ads during election cycle.

Make the trial open to the public and make every one of those traitorous fucks testify about their roles. If that happens, Trump is done for sure. If that doesn't happen, then we better gear up for a 2024 Trump presidency.

CPAC moved due to the COVID restrictions, to be 2 and a half hours from Trump in Mari Largo... but, his handlers are saying he isn’t planning to attend... get wrecked conservatives... you are of no use to the orange turd now...

At this point, it's increasingly difficult to differentiate CPAC from the Libertarian Convention where dudes get up on stage and do a strip tease to the raucus applause of the audience, and other dudes spent minutes thinking about whether or not they agree with the statement, "People should be required to have drivers licenses to drive on public roadways."
