I mean, all of this is basically just the ‘Air Bud’ - “there’s no rule that says we can’t do a coup” legal theory. Which I don’t think you should really be spending any time worrying about. The real worry would be some kind of super-charged Bush v Gore where there’s some plausible veneer of legitimacy to tip the scales in a super close election. And it’s kind of impossible to figure out what that might look like ahead of time.
We’ve all gotten so used to seeing Trump wear facepaint in public like a teenage goth that we’ve forgotten how goddamn weird it is. I don’t care how Boomer-pilled you are, how the fuck do you take this man seriously at any level?
Yes. It’s that PLUS his supporters are in fact garbage and everybody knows it so of course it makes natural sense to assume that’s what he’s saying, because he’d be stating an obvious fact
It’s dumb, but it happened that the words came out that way and now they have to live with it. I blame his staff. You could see from his eyes that he was just reading something that had been written up for him. Given his stutter and diminished faculties “the only garbage was his supporter’s” probably shouldn’t have been the way it was phrased. That whole clip was tough to watch. I don’t think he completed any of the sentences cleanly.
Right? Johnson stands in the way of legitimate electoral processes? Well, I guess the president just needs to arrest the man for treason. Hard to control the gavel while you’re in a cell.
