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

I’m not sure why I hadn’t heard of this, but I’m kind of glad. Now I have, and so must all of you:

Id love to think it will be his last one but i dont think it will be.

Fox likely needs to give him a platform for him to launch something, which could seriously harm Fox. Conundrum for them.

Can the republicans really not impeach Trump in context of a truck full of bombs and people looking to hang Mike Pence?

Why u so divisive?

it might be if he gets convicted. which i think we are drawing live to. :crossed_fingers:

Probably not so poor anymore that his wife wails at the thought of wearing that old thing to the inauguration.

And he got closer to the presidency than he ever would have otherwise. Hell, the guy could still serve a partial unelected term!! I’d say his dignity and self respect were a worthy trade if he’d had any to lose.

I can’t help but think that AOC is helping Cruz by engaging him. Clearly he wants to show the nimrods that he’s standing up to her. Seems like she’d be better off ignoring him. Am I wrong?

I’d call you out for a cruel burn, but your post is both elegant and a good quip. Practice what you preach :tumbler_glass:

Billionaires have got to be strongly in favor Trump getting impeached and not being allowed to run for office again. I really don’t see how the republicans can continue to live in his filth and expect to not be massively out fundraised. “Hang Mike Pence” is next level stuff.

At this point I don’t think the billionaires could reign in the GOP even if they wanted to (they mostly don’t).

It could be that it helps both of them, at the expense of non-Trumpy Republicans.

Yeah, I hear that. But he’s getting called out by nearly everyone. Seems like maybe she should let others do the whooping here.

It’s the internet troll paradox. Engaging trolls only feeds them, but ignoring trolls while they spout mistruths also leads outsiders watching it to maybe start believing the trolls.

If the Democrats’ goal is to actually get Trump removed from office, AOC should lay low. She isn’t helping by activating knee-jerk right-wing tribalism.

First of all, PERSONAL responsibility is just that. Personal. I wasn’t at the capital, so obviously I’m not shunning my personal responsibility on this

As for the personal responsibility of others, you need to step back and realize that not everyone has the wisdom of a sage such as yourself. Maybe it’s because I’m not as far removed from my teens as you are, but I can certainly emphasize with individuals who get caught up in the moment in large crowds and succumb to a mob mentality. I’ve attended concerts and sporting events where it’s very easy to become engrossed by the excitement of everyone around you. I’m not saying there shouldn’t be consequences, but many of them were harmless overweight goofballs who attended a rally and followed a crowd. They don’t deserve some long jail sentence on par with others who knew exactly what they were doing and were there to do real damage and overthrow democracy. Stop being such an unempathetic dick

And yes, you’re god damn right the GOVERNMENT could’ve stopped that. Are you fucking kidding me? They spend hundreds of billions per year on defense and they can’t stop a couple thousand from breaching the nation’s capital in 30 minutes? Gimme a break dude

I trust AOCs instincts about how to proceed here.
