2020 Presidential Election Thread presents: The Aftermath (Part 2)

How can it not be?

I'm not the most vindictive person so it is not me being bloodthirsty when I say it either, so that is absolutely the right question at this point:

How can he not go to prison for this?

You can't go back on this. He is now Benedict Donald. You have to put him away for the sake of the country. If this traitor is allowed to walk now then I don't believe this is a nation with any hope for true law and order whatsoever.

If you listen to what Biden said when introducing Merrick Garland, it's clear that if Garland doesn't believe that Trump's (expected) self-pardon is legal, he may have the Justice Department pursue him for multiple crimes. I am not vindictive either, but he must be stopped and what he did must be held up as an example for all to see - traitors and criminals, especially those in high office, will not be tolerated ever again. I want those who enable these criminals and are complicit should also be prosecuted.

Before the other day I thought there was a 0% chance of him being held criminally accountable for anything, and thought that Clyde was nutso for believing it. Now I put it at 50%. I do think he will pardon himself and that will be a point of controversy and discussion, and I think there's a decent chance he gets let off the hook by his supreme court justices or by the Biden admin, in the name of "healing". But we'll see. He definitely has earned prison time. But so have a lot of billionaires and politicians who never seem to get it.

I suspect Garland will turn out to be a very good AG. There is no doubt he was chosen partly for his knowledge of the judiciary. I think Biden expects him to need that know-how to deal the crimes of Trump and his administration.

Hes baaack. And this doesn’t help his case in front of Congress and the government. Tacit approval of the insurrection.

I guess we are already past the healing phase.

He's suddenly not talking about fraud anymore, which is basically an implicit admission of an intentional lie. A lie that led to deaths and that threatened democratic process.

If that's not impeachable, what is. Nothing.

He cant pardon himself for crimes he hasn't been charged with yet. The state of NY and now possibly the FBI wont make that mistake. They have waited 4 years, they will wait 12 more days.

As somebody noted elsewhere, Lindsay Graham tried to have a president removed in 1999 for having an extramarital affair. In 2021, he does not support removing a president for fomenting an armed mob to storm the capitol in what even our allies are privately terming a coup. He can sit down and enjoy a nice, steaming mug of STFU. When he's through, he can have another one.

Unfortunately, there's no healing to be had. Just look at the few representatives who have posted here. Does somebody like, say, Ball Sac seem like a remotely reasonable person, who can acknowledge that things have gone too far and that we need to start sitting down and hammering out our differences? F no. As somebody who also lurks around at toilet bowls like The Donald, I can assure you that the overwhelming sentiment is that they haven't gone nearly far enough, and will only continue to push that envelope until we end up with another OKC or worse. (Maybe now we as a collective government can finally start taking right-wing terrorism seriously, but given how badly the GOP needs those votes I'll believe it when I see it.)

These are buffoons who get whipped into a frenzy over the notions of racial equality or universal health care, or the possibility they might have to use a different pronoun in the 0.001 percent chance they ever run into a transgender person in their day-to-day, and are utterly convinced that the election was stolen on the basis of message board rumors, YouTube videos and the rantings of unhinged maniacs like Rudy Gulliani. It's pure lunacy, all the way down.

They're at war, and given all the vile sh*t that animates them to such an insane degree -- to the point that you had the son of a prominent Jewish judge rioting along anti-Semites sporting "6MWE" tees -- I'm very inclined to believe them when they tell us, over and over and over again, who they are.

Well, that's how this works. You think I'm nutso, I tell you to chill and then you admit I was right. Anyway, SCOTUS is not going to let him off the hook for sedition. No way. Weirdos like Brett Kavanaugh are buddies with many of those Republicans who were cowering in the Senate chambers. Nah, Trump has no one on SCOTUS to save him this time. If they were not going to overturn a fair election they surely are not going to protect a traitor.

And because of this treason, SCOTUS is almost certain to decline to hear any appeal on a lower court ruling that overturns Trump's self-pardon.

Pardons are going to be nullified. Trump is going to be tried for treason. Book it

Oh stop. I was right about the insurrection attempt being real. You never give me credit for anything.

I'm not sure any of us predicted a storming of the congress, but your fears of a coup were legitimate.

I do think what we witnessed was ultimately pathetic, because Trump actually thought that if he could get buffalo heads and zip ties to hold congress hostage then somehow he'd get the military to validate him as POTUS which still was NEVER going to happen.

So even as I watched this unfold with my jaw on the ground, not for a second did I yet think Biden would not be inaugurated, so I disagreed with their ability to stage a coup, not whether they hoped to have one. Big Diff

IOW, I was always right that they could not overturn the election even if they did fulfill your vision of the Purge version of an insurrection. No, I did not expect to see what we just witnessed, but I never felt like the government would fall to these people with this attempt. It was still ineffective, though violent, dangerous, treasonous and distrurbing as it was.

I mean you were definitely right that his attempts to overthrow the elections through the legal challenges would fall flat even at the level of the supreme court. I wasn't nearly as confident about that as you were. You've been "righter" than me. But I was in fact shouting it to the rooftops that if his legal challenges failed, he would activate his "standing by" miltias to attack, and they sure enough did. They probably aren't even done either. Remember the beer hall putsch

the only thing that I didn't expect was that the attempt would have been successful as it was, as far as it being mostly straight up permitted to happen.

Speaking of Kavanaugh, I saw somebody report that we had more arrests on each of the first three days of the Kavanaugh hearings, mostly women and/or sexual assault survivors, than we did during the storming of the Capitol.

Think about that one for a second...

Of all the lunacy that has gone down over the past two months, that was the easiest to predict of all. I called it this summer. Which is like taking credit for saying you knew the Bulls were gonna win championships during the 90s. The layup of all layups.

Wow Twitter has no balls. And I though Zuckerass was a puss.

it was a timeout, not a perma ban like lynn would (didn't want to spell it out).

perma ban should have been happened though. and they're probably just waiting until he's not sitting president, which shouldn't matter.
