Mega-Thread: Trump Focused Discussion

[Felya]

it will be a car crash, groypers vs maga vs old guard.

Yeah, am looking forward to it... I am hoping that they will try to one up each other on how extreme they are... to just start yelling at each other in German while throwing up the Hitler salute. Who will be the first CPAC attendee to say Hitler was right, about something? Like that Boaber during the riots...

.Democratic Sen. Tim Kaine is working on a resolution to censure former President Donald Trump for his actions on January 6, a method Kaine thinks would be faster way to hold Trump accountable than an impeachment trial https://t.co/XSoOwTRQJk https://t.co/33bE9gTwjl

Dems are so bad at this.

To be fair it's just Tim Kaine and he is only one but a reflection of most wussy Dems. The Dems who don't want to fight, take an easy way out.

Plus this is such a slap on the wrist.

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.

The same way they justified the children separation.

"They're not our children Americans"

Hey, it's how they justified trying to ignore COVID19 at first.

"I'd rather be a Russian than a Democrat."

Seriously, how little it took to push a good chunk of the Republican party to the point where they'll happily "other" their fellow Americans and prefer the company of one of our longest foes to the company of their fellow countryfolks who simply have a different ideological view is wild.

Granted this was after decades of prep work to push them that far, but it's wild how it all went down in the span of a few years.

In a shocking turn of events, the GOP might be involved with what happened in Jan. 6th to a certain extent.

Take with a grain of salt, but it would certainly explain their reluctance to have any accountability.

[Breccia]

Plus this is such a slap on the wrist.

Not even this will get through. The Republican Party is showing signs of pulling away, but the Party of Trump is still strong.

So I came across this and had to see if it was 'True'.

Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt authorized the purchase of $2 million worth of hydroxychloroquine last spring. https://t.co/eavH9ttMyQ

Yes, it's true. This idiot bought hydroxychloroquine for his State.

Idk maybe this was discussed back in the day but I never heard if it.

Hey, if it's not useful for covid there are tons of other uses, this is a great buy! You know, what with all the malaria outbreaks in Oklahoma and what not.

Just take one to the gut, admit you bought a transparent bad-egg, and donate it to health organizations that can use it to treat malaria and lupus etc.

[AntiFascistVoter]

We're not even one Scarramucci into this new Presidency.

I will be so happy if the longest lasting part of the Trump administration is the use of "Scaramucci" as a measure of 10 days.

I have a gnawing question: Is a mooch 10 days or 11 days?

Well it's also used to treat lupus, but I learned from Dr. House that it's never lupus.

Shouldn't it actually be in negative days? Wasn't he fired before he formally got the position?

151,727 new cases; about 39k fewer than last Wednesday. Nebraska hasn't reported yet but shouldn't add much.

Top 5:

Texas: 18,561 new cases; 457 deaths
California: 11,247 new cases; 379 deaths
New York: 11,231 new cases; 148 deaths
Fuck Florida.
Georgia: 6,384 new cases; 161 deaths

As long as things continue to look better I'm going to continue scaling these back. It's easy to report when the numbers are going down the way they've been the past couple weeks. I don't have to try to pinpoint epicenters or note too many new records and by now most of you know which governors are being complete fuckheads--like Kristi Noem. And frankly, I'm tired. I've been doing this for most of a year, after all. I don't think we're anywhere near out of the woods yet, but I'm becoming more confident that we won't see 200-250k daily totals again and as long as those cases keep dropping deaths should drop as well.

3,912 deaths is a little under 400 fewer than last Wednesday and brings the total to 439,517. Hard to say yet if this is the begin of the dip we've been expecting since new cases started dropping or if it's just an outlier. We'll know if the drop stays consistent over the course of the next few days.

Related news:

CDC: 100K Projected to Die of Coronavirus in Biden’s First Month in Office--On the surface this is bad news. 100k more deaths is going to be brutal. But considering the early projections were in the range of 150k I think we can consider this a small victory. I know the timing is pretty much pure coincidence, but the fact that cases started dropping almost immediately after Biden took office has to be rankling a large portion of the GOP who backed the TRUMP SHITSHOW for the past four years.

Stay safe, folks.

DHS issues domestic terror alert

The Acting Secretary of Homeland Security has issued a National Terrorism Advisory System (NTAS) Bulletin due to a heightened threat environment across the United States, which DHS believes will persist in the weeks following the successful Presidential Inauguration. Information suggests that some ideologically-motivated violent extremists with objections to the exercise of governmental authority and the presidential transition, as well as other perceived grievances fueled by false narratives, could continue to mobilize to incite or commit violence.

"Okay but why post here?"

Guess whose friends they are.

Why would it rankle the Trump cultists? They've been claiming forever that the COVID numbers are all made up in order to try and make Trump look bad before the election and would disappear right afterward.

This will just reinforce that belief.

Trump plans to have his lawyers write a letter in place of testimony in the upcoming impeachement triali.

Because he fears taking the oath more than being faithful to his wife and because the Senate will allow it.

He has a history of spilling the beans under oath...

If he's participating through a letter, wouldn't he have to be sworn in, and how is allowed to elude cross examination?

He is trying to pull a Bush, from the 9/11 commission:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/9/11_C...led_to_testify

George W. Bush – President; testimony not under oath. The session was not officially transcribed because the White House considered it a "private meeting" in which highly classified information would be discussed. Asked to limit the length of testimony to one hour (However, the meeting lasted for three hours and ten minutes). Testimony took place in the Oval Office. Initially, Bush insisted that he testify only to the Chairman and Vice Chairman of the commission, but later agreed to testify before the full panel.
