(Soon to be) Former President Donald Trump

[Jim44]

The Republicans voting to acquit Trump are like turkeys voting for Christmas.

Trump now being free to set up his own party which splits the Republican vote would be poetic justice for those spineless Republican senators who voted to acquit him (twice).

That's too much to hope for, sadly.

Guilty as **** in both impeachments but sadly partisan politics wins the day and fat boy can carry on his “witch hunt” narrative.

Credit to the seven Republican senators who voted to convict Trump; they will be remembered for doing the right thing. The other 43 are either spineless or amoral, some being terrified of Trump's base and fear being primaried the next time they are up for election. Others are diehard Trump supporters and would take a bullet for him. If spreading a conspiracy theory about a stolen election, thus undermining the democratic process whilst stirring up an insurrection isn't indictable, then nothing is. It sets a dangerous precedent of a president being above the law and reminds me of Nixon's infamous "if the president does it, it's legal" remark to David Frost after Watergate. A terrible day for the rule of law.

Trump free to run in the Republican primaries. Why split the vote. He owns the Republicans.

Only if he can stay clear of other potential legal entanglements over the next 4 years.

Highly unlikely he'll make a frontline return when the dust finally settles IMHO. Suspect he'll content himself with seeing out his days by continuing to portray himself as a 'wronged president in exile'.

This guy hasn't done the new broom Biden administration any favours mind you. Trump-esque language:

On the contrary, I think his suspension and resignation underlines how decent a man Biden is.

Trump would have applauded Ducklo.

A recent exchange on a US sports show I listen to; Male Pundit: mocks female pundit ‘you should stop watching dumb tv shows and open a book once in a while’ Female pundit: ‘I’ll have you know I have just read two BIG books, so I’ll watch whatever shows I want and if you don’t like that you could stick it where the sun don’t shine’. Male pundit- (laughs) OK whatever. Female pundit- ‘I will DESTROY you’ Male pundit- ‘In what?’ (More laughs all round).

In short, I’m not sure ‘I’ll destroy you’ is a threat of violence, more like a confidence in my ability to give you a verbal take down. However, I suppose the Dems will be stumbling over themselves not to be percéived as having double standards vis a vis Trump being abusive to the press corps, even though there’s no comparison between this case and mocking the disabled or going after reporters of colour on purpose like Trump did.

It's the unpublished "derogatory and misogynistic language " that's the issue, no?

Misogynism is obviously a bad thing. I wonder what was unpublished and why.

Trump acquitted of Insurrection.

There was never any likelihood of any other result.

I wish the brackets in the title of this thread read ‘soon to be forgotten’ but I sense that’s wishful thinking.

I know what you’re getting at but Trump should never be forgotten. He should always be a reminder of how close we came to chaos and easy it is to get there. 4 years is all it took and it could happen again.

Some posts I have seen have his supporters saying he will be back in March this year as president
What planet are they on ffs

There's some theory that since the 1820s or something ridiculous, America has become a corporation rather than a country. As the original date for the inauguration was in March then he'll be sworn back in then as the 19th president.

It's actually scary how many people I know who think he is/will be President. And these aren't mouth breathers, we're talking highly educated individuals.

Even more worrying then The ones ok ow are full blown conspiracy theorists Lightworkers that believe he was clearing the swamp and saving abused children held underground by the Elite , and that he couldn’t be bought by the Establishment , hence they rigged results to get him out
I guess we are nearly at March so time will tell But would be Astonished if this actually transpired
I wonder what they will then come up with

Did I read that the founder of Qanon and the rumour that Biden was a paedophile has been charged with having indecent pictures of children?

I did, I think it was yesterday or this morning. But I can't find it now.

The only story I can find is one from December about a candidate for office, who was charged with possession. https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/134532...race-arrested/

The founder of Qanon is Q, isn't it? Don't think it was him/her. Think it was an adherent/spouter.

The one with conspiracies that gets me every time is the sheer number of people involved.

At EVERY level of life, and the fact that they ALL keep tight lipped, not one credible leak.

And the fact that DONALD TRUMP is their saviour. The very definition of established White, Male Privilege

Beggars belief.

Radicalised, internet zoomers. I bet there is no one amongst them who has been suckered into swallowing this rubbish verbally, like in a pub or at a party. Every one of them have been "doing research" online. Imagine someone came to your door with the Qanon tale, they'd get short shrift as well as guffawed at. Bammy as.

Adam Kinzinger, a Republican who voted for impeachment has been ostracised by his family, telling him he was in cahoots with the Devil's Army and that he is a disappointment to God. Whilst accepting that Trump has faults they said he is at least a Christian.

So let me get my head round this. The only time Trump was seen with a Bible was when he brandished it as a weapon having tear gassed the crowd to clear a path for him; he has no clue about its contents and has never appeared to ever read it. His personal behaviour - speech and actions - is totally at odds with even the most cursory glance at Christian behaviour. Meanwhile, the leader of the Devil's Army is a regular churchgoer whose first action on Inauguration day was to attend Church.

Before anyone tries to pick me up for this, I am NOT suggesting that those who attend Church regularly are automatically better than those who don't, but in the case of Biden v Trump I rest my case!!
