    Remember Geraldo suggested that the vaccine be called Trump?

    Jfc, what a bunch of baby enablers


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,512 ✭✭✭Sweetemotion


    Can you tell us what exactly Trump did to bring about the vaccine given that Pfizer developed it outside of the program which Trump set up to develop a virus.

    Be as specific as you want, we can take it.

    I'm merely responding to the poster who claimed it's Bidens vaccine.

    Glad he is gone, he was just so toxic and unpresidential in so many ways.

    The world was watching the madness of 6th Jan and were not impressed, but that was desperation at loss of power.

    Anyway there are many Trump clones out there gearing up for the 70 odd million votes in the next election with softer language, good media presence, but the same message just the same.

    His legacy might live on, and it might keep him stroking his ego and keep him quiet. But who knows?

    It’s quiet in DC now, but insurrection can happen in any State Capital when all eyes are on DC.

    I think it is just another grift but part of me hopes he commits to it for at least a year to see the GOP and himself tear lumps out of each other throughout that time.

    People are only gonna vote for the patriot party for trump because they're dick sucking cultists. Once trump gives up or dies that party will literally fall apart. Who do you want, Ted Cruz as president?

    The Patriot Party would provide some quality entertainment.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,942 ✭✭✭dogbert27


    I hope he does set up the Patriot Party because that would really test the loyalty of Ivanka who of the 3 with Don Jr. and Eric has the more real ambition of making it big in politics.

    He'll start tearing the family apart for his own ego.

    A list of conmen, grifters and fraudsters.

    Including Bannon, who ripped off Trump's MAGA supporters.

    They were told - he doesn't give a **** about them, but still they committed insurrection for him

    Truly a cult

    Seeing TDW have meltdowns over Trump not Pardoning Assange is giving me life for today.
    The bickering and accusing people of being Shills because they realised they got played. PMSL I even saw one remark how his followers are in Jail over the 6th and he's away in sunshine.

    I think he will be impeached.

    This rules out the presidency.

    Other political options.

    He has already spoken about starting a new party. He will do this.

    https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/534952-trump-has-talked-to-associates-about-forming-new-political-party

    He is well used to dealing with litigation. And his method of dealing with it is to avoid contact with it really. I don't see litigation actually slowing him down.

    I do think things like internet bans etc will affect him. But people can still post videos OF him on youtube etc.

    Fox will stop putting him on SO much but not entirely .....he has turned against the GOP. And he will further turn against them.

    How far he can get with this movement. I don't know.

    But people were prepared and dumb enough to attack the senate. So i think he will do a lot more damage.

    Prepare for him to try and BURY the GOP now though.

    He went many steps too far with the run on the capitol so i believe he has finished his own and his family chances of another presidency.

    He could have been a dead cert to run again if he was a decent president or a decent human being. But he's not.

    His brand has imploded, his family is toxic and has fallen out of favour with the elites in New York and Florida, multiple suits are against him for a myriad of reasons, financial houses want their money back. His supporters are slowly beginning to realise he was lying to them and that he just doesn't care about them.
    So, no, he won't be back.

    Agreed, and the GOP would do everything they could to stop him coming back. Probably not vote to impeach as they still don't know if Trump would run again, but if in 2-3 years Trump said he'd run again, the GOP would put the brakes on. He lost them the Presidency, Senate and House. He was to Biden what Hillary was to him; someone deeply unlikeable that many independents voted against rather than voted for. Many top GOPers nearly lost their seats because of how close they were to Trump. And Trump was uncontrollable and had the GOP over a barrel and I doubt they'd want to let that happen again.

    Don Jr or Ivanka on the other hand... that's where the danger lies. That's where it'll be interesting to see what comes out of the pending criminal investigations into Trump's businesses.

    They should just shorten it to the riot party.

    I am genuienly surprised he didn't pardon himself and his family.... But I suppose there are 8 hours or so left....

    I don't know, I would have thought they would have had to be public. Maybe not advertised on TV but available for all to see (including journalists) if they want.

    Otherwise they could be going around like the bad guys in Lethal Weapon 2:

    Legal experts have given the opinion that pardons for the Trumps could land them in a worse position regarding some of their on-going legal battles, especially when it comes to their businesses. Trump pardoning himself for the Capitol stuff would also then open him up to being sued for damages, because part of being pardoned is admitting culpability.

    Yeah, THAT'S a more believable reason alright. I know that was the concern initially "If you pardon it means you know there is something that needs pardoning". But I'm still surprised he took their advise..... so far

    Wikipedia states "Sholam Weiss (born April 1, 1954) is an American former businessman and philanthropist, who served a 835 year sentence at FCI Otisville"

    To be fair, he looks great.

    One thing I didn't think of that I saw this morning is that Trump can actually write himself and his family pardons this morning before 12:00 and never publish them and just wait and pull them out if/when anyone is indicted. It seems extremely legally dodgy to me, but people much more versed in the US Constitution seem to agree that it's probably acceptable.

    Which, IMHO, is wild stuff.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,331 ✭✭✭Keyzer


    Buck stops with him now.

    What an idiotic, childish and contradictory post.

    Trump blamed everyone else on COVID19 in America, everyone. He took absolutely zero accountability.

    He blamed Obama, the US healthcare system and various different disease control organisations, some of which he personally shut down.

    By the end of his shambolic presidency he was clearly bored with COVID and didn't give two fúcks about front line healthcare workers in the US (here, have a pen)...

    Did Trump take the blame for anything?

    Genuinely happy he hasn't pardoned any of the rioters from the Capitol. They were crying out for them!

    That said, he still has a few hours...

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    The GOP is in a tough spot now for the next few years. There will be a massive element of people who always vote Republican or just voted for Trump because they personally were better off, even if they didn't like the guy. But of the 75m votes he got, how many are die-hard Trump fans? - maybe its 5m or 10m, which is enough for Trump or one of his offspring to continue with their movement and put a huge dent in any Republican challenger to Joe Biden. That would basically hand the election to the Democrats for the foreseeable.

    So in the next 4 years they need to either:
    1. Row in behind Trump - unpalatable/unthinkable for many
    2. Completely abandon him/try destroy him - which risks losing his huge personal vote and jeopardises future presidential bids for Republican candidates
    3. Somehow sideline him and his organisation but keep his fanbase onside - this might mean knocking him out of a primary and having Trump endorse another candidate, can't imagine Trump gracefully accepting that fate

    Just on Option 1. Why have you got it down as unpalatable/unthinkable for many? They have done it perfectly for the last 4 years.

    And they went from having the Presidency, Senate and House, to having none. Elements of Trumpism will serve them well as they did make gains in the House in this election, but Trump himself is likely to damage them further, especially after the Capitol riots.

    Most Trump fans will stick with the GOP regardless as they're so strongly anti-Democrat, but for the GOP to pick up independents, especially if the Dems proceed with making voting easier as they plan to do, the GOP need to abandon Trump. It will do more to damage them in the long run.

    GOP will drop Trump like a hot rock.
    Any rebels within the party will be jettisoned and if it takes 4-8 years to regain their following, they'll wait it out.
    They're a long established political machine, not a fly by night cult like MAGA. They'll play the long game. And win(against Trumpists at any rate)
