DC Unrest Megathread

[PSOL]

CNN: GOP source claiming Trump is "...out of his mind", stopping the certification vote is "...all he can think about".

But he's been so level-headed up to this point.

He was such a stable genius

CNN: GOP source claiming Trump is "...out of his mind", stopping the certification vote is "...all he can think about". Does NOT believe the cabinet will execute the 25th amendment, but the idea has been entertained.

Pence already broke with Trump over the EV counting.  He's got nothing else to lose now by invoking the 25th.

WTF is wrong with these people.  Good God, this is sad and embarrassing.  I hope they all wind up in jail.

Dude, this is your party. You tell me.

Are you under the impression that I somehow control the actions of these people because I'm a registered Republican in Johnson County, IA and vote in its caucuses and primaries?

you are a member of the party which the vast majority of its Congressional and Senate Members, Plus numerous Governor's, attorney general's, and other luminaries at all levels, have actively aided and abetted Trump every minute of The Last 5 Years in causing this to happen.

If any Republican tries to say that the Republican party and what it's become over the last 5 years, as a whole entire entity, doesn't have it fundamental responsibility for this absolute blasphemy towards democracy, you're either a moron, or a moral eunuch.

Or translated: "Why would I leave the GOP? ONLY 80+% of my party voters and elected officials are authoritarian anti-democratic Cult of Personality worshipping Neo brownshirts! I mean, what do you want? Actually vote Democrat instead?"

Does CNN think the 25th won’t happen or does trump

[Non Swing Voter]

I read it as the GOP source doesn't think it will happen.

I'm lucky I was doing other things during the past few pages of this thread, otherwise I'd have been banned for sure.

I wrote then scrubbed many posts before posting.

The GOP source which spoke to Acosta.

[Storebought]

Yep, the internet scumbags have received their orders from OANN or whatever claiming that BLM/Antifa instigated this. Like we are all stupid and forgot that just 12 hours ago, the same types were bragging about showing up to DC to terrorize Pelosi and McConnell's ChiCom wife (they turned on him something fierce).

Is that the video?  He basically said something like "guys this is wrong, even THOUGH THE ELECTION WAS STOLEN AND THEY CHEATED US, BLAH BLAH BLAH"

Brian Kemp, governor of Georgia, has shown more leadership today than President Trump. This, even though the attacks today had nothing to do with Georgia and happened hundreds of miles away.

[Badger]

A disgraceful display of impotent, asinine rage. Thanks for proving everything ill word said about you correct and invalidating every legitimate criticism of BLM/Antifa. Every legal punishment should be thrown at these cretins.

Everyone calling for the mass slaughter of these people needs to STFU, though. Jesus. You're not helping.

Why not? This is Gettysburg redeux, man. Convince me otherwise.

[Non Swing Voter]

only 15 arrests.  And less bullets fired than if a black man jay walks.  This country is pathetic.

[ultraviolet]

I highly doubt they will invoke the 25th. Impeachment could occur, but with Trump’s expiration date so soon it may not be of much importance to Congress, and I doubt he will get removed. Most likely he will leave office on Jan 20 as planned

Literally everyone has shown more leadership today than President Trump.

I was shocked when I saw that press conference. Was still a low bar, but still glad to see Kemp show some spine.

[GeneralMacArthur]

Impeach him.  Immediately.  No research or hearings are necessary.  We can do it in a day if everyone plays along.

You have to draw a line.  This is where the line is drawn.  No matter what your ideology.  Everyone is on the same side here.

Republicans don't even have anything to lose.  His presidency is over.  What, you have Pence instead of Trump for a few days?  Maybe you can even stop him from running in 2024 so Cruz/Hawley can cruise through to the nomination.

Just do it.  Impeach and remove President Trump.  He shouldn't be in office for one more day.

Is he going to impeach the ring leader?
No?

Arrest his ass too then

Amen

[Bandit3 the Worker]

After Trumpers' display of stupidity and violence today, coupled with Democrats calling Ralph Northam a murderer because he won't issue another lockdown, I think the whole government ought to just resign. Republicans and Democrats both.

Let the Socialists and the Libertarians take over. I'm sick of the major parties' garbage.

I think about this piece on Nixon's final days in office a lot lately: https://medium.com/@Anthony_Bergen/what-have-i-done-the-final-hours-of-richard-nixon-s-presidency-40ffbeac6c44

[Alben Barkley]

Trump’s whole video statement was a dogwhistle saying “I totally don’t support violence or anything but...” with a wink and nudge.

Then his Tweet was even more clear about his intentions.

[Never Made it to Graceland]

If the 25th was invoked? That makes Pence president for 14 days?
