Trump fires him tomorrow, laws be damned. Who will stop him?
Trump is not going to pull off a coup, but we are on a pretty bad path right now. We have two more months of this, and there seems to be a lot of reason to believe that itâs going to get insane between now and Jan 20.
Every. Damn. Time.
LOL.
Trump is going to push the envelope until Senate Rs very very credibly threaten to impeach him⌠that is the thin red line we are relying on.
Trump is 1-30 in cases and the one case he won was to move people from 10 feet away to 6 feet away. Even Trump appointed judges are laughing at Rudy and throwing cases out the window.
senate holds a trial, nancy has to impeach first. also, even removing him from office does absolutely nothing for the transition, because the senate is humoring his bid to be inaugurated on 1/20/21. he could technically and theoretically be impreached, convicted, and removed, and move back in.
Guys, the major concern here is that we have a desperate, unhinged person that DGAF as president for the next two months.
If you had the power to go back in time to 2015 to change the results of the primaries so that Jeb! wipes the floor with Trump, wins the primaries, and then wins the general, but then he also wins re-election in 2020, and everythign else that has hapenned in the world is the same (Ginsburg dies, pandemic, dems retake house in 2018). Which path do you choose? Jeb! or current timeline?
- Jeb! timeline
- Current timeline
- Bastard!
- Cuse was right on election night!
I mean I get the point youâre trying to make I guess, but thereâs a reason in the intelligence world it is a dangerous thing to have people in positions of power who are more subject to pressure or blackmail. Itâs one of the reasons why Trump having all the debt is actually a big deal. But sure, continue making your point I guess.3 for 3, amirite?
1-32 now LOL.
Fuck, ponied by a second.
Sketch out your scenario in which it comes down to the military for me. Seriously, not trolling.
The Republicans are going to win the runoffs by at least 2-3% each. It doesnât matter what Trump says or doesnât say. Ossoff ran way way behind Biden. Heâs not making up those votes in a runoff.
Meh, Gase would go 0-33 easily just so Trump wonât get Trevor Lawrence as his 2024 running mate.
The next person up will be from the military high command and the correct metaphor for that scenario is âthe next round in the magazineâ. The next round will be another career soldier with a very very very similar world view. The reason weâre safe here is because Trump canât fire his way to military support. In fact with each internally popular member of the military brass he mistreats his position with that extremely important power base deteriorates further⌠and itâs already totally fucking over for him with those people. Theyâve had enough. The stuff heâs done already they donât consider forgivable.
The judge came off a federalist society list no doubt⌠so itâs more accurate to say the Koch Brothers appointed him.
