I don't want Trump impeached or kicked out under the 25th Amendment for the sake of two weeks. If that happens Pence takes over and despite everything I don't trust Pence not to pardon him.

If I were prepared to stoop as low as Trump I would shout "lock him up" but unlike Trump I believe in the rule of law and due process.

I do want trump impeached and the senate to bar him from any further public office. that would put a stop to his grift as he wouldn't be able to solicit donations for a campaign. and there is not a hope in hell of pence pardoning him now. he seems as sick of trump as the rest of us.

All Trumps quislings very silent today.

Not even @presssec has put out anything.

All wondering how they can cut ties with the mad man and slink off silently into the night.

Most of the people who enter the Capitol Building did so based on their misplaced passion for justice for falsehoods , fed to them by Trump & Co .
Few hardliners in their too,those front and center,
but most who followed in were just country folk, the type with no history of violence, or destruction of property.
All those Statues in the Hall were safe as houses, they were never going to be torn down, all the art of the wall was never going to be sprayed over, no one was going to set a fire. Getting access by breaking a door or window is extent of their damage.
Now can you imagine if this was a Leftist Mob that had gained access, and not a Trump Mob. So much damage would have been done. Every statue toppled , every piece of art sprayed over, fires ect.
Of course no storming of the Capitol Building can be condoned

They absolutely wrecked the place, trashing offices, smashing and stealing everything in sight (aside from your precious artwork).

And of course it was the non-white essential workers that were left to clean up the angry white mob's mess (with the added bonus of a waste of space cop as usual not wearing a mask).

The Pence/Harris presidency is going to be a disaster if they can't both get a handle on this kind of stuff early and also play a blinder for the next 4 years so Trump 2.0 doesn't happen in 2024.


You have a lot of motivated, organised disenfranchised voters who have just seen "The Swamp" turn the secret service and DC police on them (it doesn't matter that the protesters started this ****, they won't see it that way) whilst their leader told them they are patriots.


That's not going to disappear.

These people believe that Trump speaks the truth. There is no dealing with such a bunch of brain-dead morons. You cant reconcile with such people. There are people in the US who still haven't moved on from their defeat in the civil war.

The only thing that can be done is to invest in the education system, hopefully with an element of teaching future generations how to think for themselves and give them the tools to be able to tell fact from fiction and when they are being lead.

The current generation of Trumpists are a lost cause. You can't reason with those incapable of rational thought. Reconcilliation is a nice ideal, and in the current climate is a necessary fiction; but it's still a fiction.

Joe Exotic probably be the best candidate the Republicans could hope to run. Rely on the "Reality Star" angle.

Don jnr likes the powder form of cocaine which seems to be acceptable

Hunter Biden preferred the crack version which is a big no no

They even brought in different laws and sentencing guidelines for each type in America and everything

Hunter Bidens Dad was instrumental in bringing in those laws (1994 crime Bill).

Almost certain he'll do a self pardon after yesterday's chaos.

And pro Trump people will say everything you've just said about the hard left.

The US is just a disaster at the moment. People on the coasts are considered to be the political and cultural leaders of a country where millions of people in the middle of the nation have zero ideals in common with them.

Trumps presidency was the crescendo of this sentiment but he didn't do enough for his people and they are still pissed off. Difference now is it's not just Billy Bob and his 5 buddies in a militia in the boonies, it's millions of people in various towns and cities all throughout the "flyover" States.

They realise that they can get someone elected now so whoever Trump 2.0 is is going to be a very scary individual.

The US treating politics like a sport since GWB has been disastrous.

'Hard left' :rolleyes:

The people on the coasts make all the money and have all the dynamism (largely imported from abroad). The agri hicks in the centre are out of touch with the useful bits of the US, and I'm not sure they even have a concept for a world existing outside the US in general.

They got Trump and dubbyah in and look at the resulting messes. The existing electoral system is so heavily rigged in these people's favour, it's not remotely funny. Sorry, I can't raise a tear or any sympathy for these throwbacks.

This lot need a better standard of education and the US in general needs a massive overhaul and change in it's electoral system to allow for multiple political parties and actual democracy. Just imagine the utter mess of the last four years that would have been avoided if the ludicrously reviled Hillary had been able to take office on the back of the fact that more people actually voted for her than for Trump, despite all the lies and BS, like the treasonous nonsense perpetrated by James Comey. The founding twats made alteration of the constitution such a mountain to climb that I don't think the US can fix it's intrinsic problems in the forseeable future.
