The Presidency of Donald J. Trump, Episode XIV: T-minus 97 Hours

if it could’ve it would’ve already

8 year old daughter update. She had a “Covid bubble” friend over today that stayed for dinner. They ate before us, while I finished making our “adult” dinner in the kitchen. The conversation was basically this entire thread, but told by 8 year old girls. Highlights were “trumpers broke into the capitol. I bet if they were black they would have shot them” “Yeah, the police did that to the BLM people over summer”.

I had a tear in my eye.

Not that I think in a million years that conviction after impeachment is happening, but isn’t the big problem with this that Pence will have a couple of days to pardon Trump (assuming he doesn’t hate his guts at this point)?

For the love of Christ why couldn’t this go down?

A confrontation subsequently broke out in the background between Rep. Andy Harris (R-Md.), a 63-year-old US Navy veteran, and Rep. Colin Allred (D-Texas), a 37-year-old former NFL football player.

Why weren’t all these people lined up side by side in a live congressional hearing today. Don’t give them a chance to figure their stories out and figure out who’s going to be the fall guy. There is no chance that they just happened to be unprepared this time and didn’t send in reinforcements for optics, especially with the way these things have been handled in the past.

Lol I was watching live but when it got good they were just off the bottom of camera. The benches cleared on both sides.

I suspect the old school FBI may be talking to them already.

Brian Williams starts off referring to Trumps “hostage video”.

At least sniffing around.

Yeah, but…obviously…and I don’t know how many people are charged with felonies for that…but it could be 10x more or 100x more…instead of 6 Ferguson organizers executed it could be 60 or 600. Probably thousands of people were killed in Tiananmen Square for example.

The state getting harsher with sedition is not what we want. Not what I want, that’s for sure.

360,000 Americans died to prevent that flag from being flown in that building.

One thing my mind keeps coming back to is that the Camp Auschwitz tshirt nazi was right there at the door where Ashli with an I got neutralized. If the world was truly just he would have suffered the same fate. I really hope these nazis get got.

Monday? WTF?

Pence is not pardoning Trump. Not a chance in hell.

Possibly, but like which countries?

Do any of the possible crimes prevent the guilty from ever owning a firearm again? I feel like for these folks, that’s way worse than jail time.

I mean aside from having the common sense to say “yeah I’m not doing a made-up illegal thing you said I should do”, he’s proven to be a spineless toady over and over again. Why so confident?
