He’s out of there next month...resigns because he says that he has to in order to avoid the people that are trying to do harm to him. Pence pardons him. Moves to Mar-A-Lago for a month...leaves for Russia (or some other country with no extradition laws) shortly after when New York comes after him. Lives the rest of his life from wherever, tweeting about how bad the US is and how great his new country is.
hahaha. Mine. If he peacefully leaves office, he’ll stay here stirring ****. You and I will be in a red-state gulag before that dude sees jail time.
I see it as optimistic for Trump himself. I'll be disappointed if he doesn't rot in a cell in upstate NY.
Okay, well... you and I can return to this issue once we're in the Tom Cotton Re-edukashun Kamp For Waywerd Libruls. I hear Nebraska has a nice couple of weeks in spring.
Senate committee talk from Graham: If we keep the Senate which I think we will and I become Budget chairman. I'd like to create a dialogue about how can we finally begin to address the debt. LMAO these shameless ****s are so predictable. Hey everybody! The debt matters again!
FWIW, my bets on PredictIt are up about $200 on an investment of $650. The GA Senate race are the undecided ones.
Are Georgia, Arizona, Texas, and North Carolina the canaries in the coalmine for Republicans that Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, and Pennsylvania were for Democrats in 2016? I feel like over the next 20 years we're going to see a huge shift in terms of electoral map identity. I think the "blue wall", though it may have reappeared, now has an unsustainable hole blown in it... and I think that the dam is starting to break across the South with the demographic shifts.
Joe Biden was more likeable than Hillary and ran mainly on the platform of being a more normal personality than Trump who bungled the Covid Virus. Despite all the Trump craziness the Dems got maybe 50k to 100k more votes than the GOP/Trumpistas in a couple of key states. to squeak out a lackluster win. Good to defeat the deranged Trump, but the Dems will lose the House and Senate? if Biden continues his 50 year career as an uninspiring status quo Democrat. This period requires more. Instead of 50 percent of Americans unable to handle a $500 emergency expense it may rise to 55-60 percent. Many will keep thrashing around for a leader-- hopefully not another fascist strongman type-- to shake things up and perhaps help them.
McConnell is going to rope-a-dope Democrats until 2022 when he wins back the House, then the gears grind to a true standstill. Next Presidential election comes and Democrats' ticket is super lame and uninspiring. Republicans manage to hang the "got nothing done" weight around Democrats' necks (because they suck at messaging) and completely crush them in 2024. AOC leads a giant populist left coup in 2028, and we start the cycle all over again. It feels inevitable.
I am just about there on willing to take our chances with writing another of our ancient non-amendable Constitution. I do worry that we in the blue state(s) might have to fight a war with the nuclear armed red state(s) or be overrun by refugees form the red state(s) when they descend into chaos as every dickwad town and city exercises their FREEDOM to have no gubmint regulations and to do their own thing during a period of climate change.
Well if AOC can do a Roosevelt thing, than the Dems will have 40 years of control of government, the majority of the Trumpistas will gradually moderate and more people will prosper, not just the elite.
She'll lead a leftwing populist movement that will probably get overrun by the absolute worst instincts of American liberals and thus crash and burn in a heap of hellfire at ballot box because most people don't appreciate being called sexist/racist/trans-homo-islamaphobic.
Regarding Trump's potential crimes, I think Biden would prefer to let it all slide. New York might too, but that's less likely. I mean, they might prefer it, but Trump will probably be provoking them the whole time with ceaseless chatter and conspiracy theories from the peanut gallery that might make them feel like we'd all be better off if Trump had a criminal defense case to spend his time on. More generally, if Biden's win holds we get the immediate relief of not having a sociopath in the Oval Office. All of our other problems, however, remain.
