Trump's Live On Sky

[Paigntonian]

'We will stop the steal' and 'we won it by a landslide'.

[Hopkirk]

Does he actually believe this garbage?

[ichkeria]

And indeed Pence has just indicated that he’s not going to do Trump’s bidding.

[ummmm]

Trump is one scary scary man.

[jim360]

What's more scary is that so many people are still for him, and will still be a factor in politics for years or decades. Luckily, for now, the key US institutions have loyalty for the Constitution and not the man, but it's crazy how close the US has come to handing power to a tyrant.

[Paigntonian]

Does he really believe all this garbage? No idea. We're all lucky that he didn't start a nuclear war.

[ummmm]

I know. My mother and aunt think he's the bees knees. They actually think he's honest. They also need their heads testing.

Hopkirk @ 17:54...never mind him. What of all those idiots cheering him on.
Looks like 90% of them aren't even wearing masks. I see a sharp rise in cases in a week or 2...

[pastafreak]

ummmm...my Cuban sister in laws family all voted for him. They thought Biden would send them all back to Cuba.

[Paigntonian]

And, of course, there was no wall. There were no repatriated jobs. Ban on immigration illegal. Covid disaster. And yet these supporters keep showing up talking nonsense.

[Paigntonian]

In a mirror image of what is happening in the UK it's hard to see how the Republicans are going to survive this just as, here, Labour is in a twilight zone.

[ichkeria]

So the joint Congress is going to debate every objection (six?) of the state electoral college votes. For up to two hours per objection.
And at the end they’ll vote it down.
It could be a long night!

[Paigntonian]

Pence says he 'shares the president's concern' but won't do what the president wants him to do. Barking.

[DTCwordfan]

He ain't coming to Scotland, Nicola doesn't have to worry - it will be the Black Velvet or Secret Service carrying him out - from The White House to THe Mad House (is there any difference). Apparently, his aides are negotiating for him to star in a re-run of 'One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest' - the nearest facility being 'The Psychiatric Hospital of Washington' - it's just under 5 miles from the West Wing.

[Atheist]

I think the US military are scared that he might want to attack Iran the day before he disappears.

[Paigntonian]

Atheist: Sadly, you might be right. He's a fruitcake.

[pastafreak]

Apparently, Pence *can't* do what the president is asking (demanding?)...he has no authority.

[ichkeria]

No, he can’t.
And the whole process is a farce

[tiggerblue10]

How many more days left to endure him throwing his toys around?

[jno]

could be years, tigger. Stay away from Twitter...

When Ronnie Reagan was incapacitated after his shooting there was a recognized succession. It was awkward only because Al Haig thought himself rather more important than was actually the case. One can only wonder, or hope, that Trumpy could be deemed to have mental health problems and meet the men with the straightjackets. Now, that would be fun.
