The ideal situation is they give him a parachute and toss him off of Air Force One at 12:01 PM.

That's almost verbatim what I said to gilraen when I read the previous post. Great minds think alike! And so do we!

I've been told there's a pretty aggressive maintenance program for these things and sometimes the maintenance is urgent, unscheduled and lengthy. Certainly would be a shame if that was the case on the morning of 1/20 and I'd hate for it to be recorded when he's told.

A great scenario would be if he starts a rally with Air Force One behind him, and it starts taxying away while he is speaking.

Parachutes cost tax money. If he hasn't paid taxes he doesn't get one.

Biden won't do that but it would be awesome.

And Trump would just claim it as his own. "Ive asked the pilot to do a grand takeoff for all my loyal fans"

Trump asks PA House Speaker to overturn the election, making three states is now personally tried to interfere in.

Lock him up, indeed.

That'd presume there was any interest in holding rich and powerful people accountable for anything beyond ripping off other rich and powerful people.

The AZ GOP put out a casting call for martyrs over Twitter.

This is truly bonkers and unbelievably dangerous.

I’ve been saying all along about how *punitive* it is to be a Republican who just simply acknowledges electoral *reality*.

Countdown to Biden inauguration as President:

43 DAYS

Safe Harbor Day!

Forty-nine of 50 states (Wisconsin the exception) appear to have met a deadline in federal law that essentially means Congress has to accept the electoral votes that will be cast next week and sent to the Capitol for counting on Jan. 6. Those votes will elect Joe Biden as the country's next president.

Another milestone. Until 2020 no one paid any attention to it. Did you?

Chris Krebs sues diGenova, the Trump 2020 campaign, and Newsmax for comments proximate to his firing by Trump.

That argument literally amounts to "Trump was leading before we counted the Democrats' votes, so Trump won the election."

Keep in mind, Ken Paxton is at the top of corrupt government officials. His 7 deputies filed notification they had reported him to the FBI. Paxton fired all of them instead of resigning.

“We have a good faith belief that the attorney general is violating federal and/or state law including prohibitions related to improper influence, abuse of office, bribery and other potential criminal offenses,” the Thursday letter states.

I know it's possible to get re-infected, but lying is way more common with this crew.

False positives are also possible.

I think the general Trumpoholics thinking is "We had a party with 300 people but it was mostly family and we are all white so its fine"

Conventional wisdom seems to be that this is the Texas AG (who is currently under FBI investigation) begging for a pardon.

New: YouTube will now begin to remove new content that “misleads people by alleging that widespread fraud or errors changed the outcome of the 2020 U.S. Presidential election.” The company said decision comes after enough states certified results to determine Biden as Pres-elect

Translation: "We will emphatically slam shut the barn doors after every single horse has escaped!"

It's something I can't figure out. He's out in the open, admitting/bragging that he's spoken with three different state officials (sometimes multiple times) trying to get them to disregard votes and just maneuver to keep Trump in power. And we're all like, "Meh, what are you gonna do?"

I don't understand how anyone could think letting this go unchecked is smart. Why aren't they impeaching him again? Optics? Because the traitors in the GOP will continue to absolve Trump? Who cares. This shouldn't just happen and we all stand around and laugh because Trump is a moron.

Lack of consequences for anything he's done is going to be our collective undoing. Trump is a cancer, but the fact that he's experienced -zero- impact because of his actions is beyond troubling.

Because last time they impeached him, Trump won. They don't want to hand him another win if they don't have to.

But what does he win? Bragging rights for the next 6 weeks? He's going to be an insufferable douche from now until eternity, so who cares? It's not about winning or losing here. It's about making sure we're all clear that this is not acceptable. And confirming the GOP is full of traitorous goons.

When you take someone to the mat, and they beat the rap, their prestige is enhanced. If Trump were to be impeached and acquitted again, it would only build his narrative that the state is baselessly persecuting him.

It's about making sure we're all clear that this is not acceptable. And confirming the GOP is full of traitorous goons.

That's the thing, though. If he's acquitted again (and he would be) then it doesn't make it clear that this is not acceptable. Quite the contrary.

Look, all you have to do is convince McConnell to support impeachment and removal. Easy peasy.
