Just imagine if today's Republicans had the stones to engage in their own Saturday night massacre.....we'd all be free of the shit stain that is Donald Trump.... 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The crazies like MTG and Gaetz are happy, but the McConnells and the Lankfords must realize how badly they fucked things up..... They were fine with him back then and also took it as an attack on their party. I'm curious though if they could go back in time, would they boot Trump so they could pave the way now for DeDufus.

Are you claiming you never said that you're mot worried about a Trump presidency because there are systems in place that will check his worst impulses? No. I'm saying that presidents can most likely pardon themselves if they choose to. As for trying to take over the government or overstay their term of office, neither will ever happen because both the system itself and the people who currently run the government will not allow it. As I've said before, Trump will be a lame duck roughly 2 1/2 years into his term. He'll see his advisors and cabinet breaking apart around 9 months or so later as they look to their next jobs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The former White House strategist was sentenced to four months in prison after he defied a subpoena from the Jan. 6 committee. He was allowed to remain free during an appeal, which failed. During a hearing on Thursday, Nichols said Bannon must surrender by July 1 and revoked his bail, according to Politico's Kyle Cheney. Prior to the hearing, Bannon was seen laughing about the proceeding on his War Room podcast. The real question is are they going to issue him 3 prison shirts to wear at once? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Former US Capitol Police officer Harry Dunn and former sergeant Aquilino Gonell, who served during the January 6 riots, are touring Pennsylvania this week to campaign for President Joe Biden’s reelection. They were welcomed into the chamber by House Speaker Joanna McClinton for having “bravely defended democracy in the United States Capitol against rioters and insurrection on January 6.” Other reps refered them as “heroes” when they were introduced on the floor. Then, the Pennsylvania House sprung into chaos, The Washington Post reported. Several Republican lawmakers vocalized their disapproval, with a number of them walking out of the chamber. Multiple representatives wrote about the incident on X. The interaction lasted less than five minutes and there were about 100 lawmakers in the chamber at the time. The Pennsylvania House has 203 members — 101 Republicans and 102 Democrats. “The @PAHouseGOP like many elected officials I helped protect and defend at the US Capitol, have abandoned the truth/sided with those who attacked us, the police, while at the same time saying they support the police and the rule of law,” Gonell wrote on the social media platform. ------------------------- mal 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I separate the man and the accomplishments. SpaceX nearly went bankrupt, but he kept at it until the very last launch he could afford at the time. Had it failed, the company would have died in it's infancy. His ego with buying/calling himself a Tesla "founder" is Trump-esque, which I don't like. yeah he's a weird dude. But no one else is leading the way on the next iteration of space like he is. Ever since he bought the tweety I've thought it was purely for political positioning, and if/when Trump wins it should pay off really well for him. I doubt he actually gives two hot poops about anything anyone writes on that platform, he's all about building his vision for his companies. Whipping up some lefties to entertain the MAGAs might get him 10s of billions in new contracts for SpaceX and even Tesla. Thats how I see it anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
