Well if they mean a federal response to people pissed off over the things the Bureau of Land Management does, then I agree.

I feel like for the rest of my life, I will need to Google “[person name] Trump” when vetting somebody, whether it’s a candidate for office or just somebody cleaning my air ducts.

guys honest question.. Is there are chance Biden can get sworn in tonight?

They really need to look at the whole Jan 20th thing, why would they let a loser stay in Office for 2+ extra months.

A_B · Post by **A_B** » Wed Jan 06, 2021 7:52 pm

I’m really about 75 percent confident we get the 25th amendment.

Tonight has that feel of the night he wheezed home from the hospital where in the next 24 hours either something kind of great is going to happen or you remember nothing will happen and you feel dumb for hoping.

Rex · Post by **Rex** » Wed Jan 06, 2021 7:58 pm

I don’t think this is what the 25th was made for. This is what impeachment and removal are made for.

Ok. But how the fuck you gonna get a trial in 14 days? Sometimes if the only tool you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.

degenerasian · Post by **degenerasian** » Wed Jan 06, 2021 8:12 pm

Can articles of impeachment be drawn up for the enablers like Cruz and Hawley, or can they just be straight up arrested?

How many famous other Trumps are there? I know of two. Judd Trump the World Snooker Champion, and Kelly Trump, the porn star.

In the age of nuclear weapons, I think a madman with the launch codes is one of the scenarios they considered when coming up with the 25th precisely because it is expedient.

Some chatter about how veep doesn't have authority to do that, so something may have gone down procedurally cough cough

It’s certainly not what the 25th was made for. On the other hand, it’s not a huge stretch to say that Trump is psychologically “unable” to execute his duties, partly because he’s always been that way but also partly because of the stress of losing the election.

Especially since the 25th contemplates temporary removal, and in theory he can get better sometime. And if his term expires before that happens, so be it.

Rex · Post by **Rex** » Wed Jan 06, 2021 8:53 pm

Oh I think Trump qualifies for the 25th, but I would have said that in January 2017.

A_B · Post by **A_B** » Wed Jan 06, 2021 8:56 pm

So it isn’t what it’s for, but it may be it is what it’s for. I certainly never had a conlaw class like youse guys.

No wonder people hate lawyers.

Is it too much to ask for one of these recanting objectors to do it like Costanza returning to the job he quit?

As satisfying as it is for Trump to be suspended, I really would love to see his live feed of the Senate proceedings.

Pence, the acting SecDef, and CJCS with members of Congress had to make the call. They effectively went around Trump.

Which, in my mind, the 25th has softly been invoked. Ilhan Omar tweeted she was drawing up impeachment paperwork earlier today.

Also, the dead woman has been identified:

14 year USAF vet. 4 deployments. Probably Intel. And batshit crazy. The right is considering her a martyr.

And BOLO for photos and video of her dying. FYI.

The majority of the terrorists I saw inside the Capitol didn’t have masks, so at least a good number of them will catch COVID and die gasping for air.
