Look at what he's done...look at what he's doing...he doesn't care about the constitution...just because the courts strike him down a lot doesn't mean that he hasn't intentionally mislead people. If he could...he'd take down all the branches of government. I'm sure he's explored it.
You can point your finger at me and say I'm unhinged...but what you are continuously seeing is a shattering of any norms and rules we've all agreed to repeatedly for the benefit of one ass hole. It's embarrassing and I have lost such a great deal of faith in the American people.
You're acting unhinged. I'm an Obama guy, but look back at his scandals (using the U.S. Government to spy on the media who gave him bad press, using the IRS against political rivals, and yeah, using intelligence on a campaign, killing US citizen with a drone strike, selling weapons to cartels, illegally spying on Americans, etc.,) Show me a president who didn't abuse power in some way. In reality, Trump is embarrassing, nowhere near a tyrant. Like it or not, its his right to challenge the results.
When it's time to go, the secret service will put him on a helicopter and send him off the white house grounds to Florida. Nothing will stop that. No law enforcement or military will commit treason to try and stop it. He will leave office, period. It's over. There's no reason to get bent out of shape.
You are minimizing this...when 10s of millions go off on their tangent with Trump you’ll still shrug.
It’s not just a matter of him being ushered out by secret service. It’s the huge group of people he’s taking with him into an alternate facts universe.
You've literally witnessed leftists loot, riot, burn, assault and murder people for the last six months. You've witnessed an entire "resistance" group of democrats harass people and instigate violence against Republicans. Stacy Abrams refused to concede her race. The media lied about Russia. Biden was fully prepared to challenge the election results the same way Trump is now and refuse to concede; he assembled a dream team of lawyers who were prepared to do it. They were prepared to completely alter the constitution if they won all three branches of government. Democrats and the media either ignored it or justified it. You've not said a word of outrage about it. You had no problem with any of this. So spare me your outrage.
Re: Current Events Thread
You’re going to ignore someone who is going to play pretend president to 10s of millions of people?
Yes.
I did everything in my power to ignore him for four years. I even stopped watching news.
I failed in my attempt. Why? Because the whole goddamn world can't stop talking about him for five seconds.
Trump world is inescapable. Like the Borg... resistance is futile.
You can talk about football, drugs, pussy, money, the Rover on its way to Mars, favorite movie or TV show, or how much pepper you put on your fried squash.... within 5 minutes Trump will make an appearance.
On January 20, 2021 at 12:01....Trump is an ex president. He joins the club with Obama, Bush, Clinton, and Carter. ZERO power.
He'll be a celebrity and will figure out a way to further monetize his brand and try to keep as many gullible rubes in his sphere of influence.
This is where the media comes in and how they approach this will quickly allow us to see how this will go.
If they're smart and genuine in their feelings towards him, they will not give him coverage.
For starters, ignore his tweets. Completely.
This "tens of millions" you talk about will instantly drop down to a million. It will then drop to thousands.
Remember how Alex Jones was insanely popular?
Do you remember how many times you saw him after the media stopped covering him due to the Sandy Hook backlash and social media outlets stopped letting him post his videos?
He instantly morphed into a miniscule wart on the ass of pop culture.
He's not even out of office yet and you're already giving him more power than he's likely to get in reality.
Perception is reality....and if a ton of people like you continue to do this, it will be a self fulfilling prophecy.
If trump has to be physically removed, it does great damage and sets a precedent for non-peaceful transfers of power.
Great damage? Non-peaceful?
A physical removal of Trump will reinforce the fact that the system is working as intended, will let the people see that coups or any attempt at election shenanigans will not stop the transition to the next president, and will show that the Secret Service or in an emergency situation, the actual military, is doing as intended.
It restores faith in democracy, not shatter it.

why do you dub them leftists? Are you saying people without jobs, no future...and no help from the government are exclusively leftist?
Stacy Abrams refused to concede her race.
You've left a lot out here...didn't the former AG of Georgia or something like that create the rules of the election and then win the election...that's pretty messed up...
The media lied about Russia.
You think because Mueller wasn't the judge, jury and executioner that Trump was exonerated...that's messed up...
Biden was fully prepared to challenge the election results the same way Trump is now and refuse to concede; he assembled a dream team of lawyers who were prepared to do it.
Good god man...
They were prepared to completely alter the constitution if they won all three branches of government. Democrats and the media either ignored it or justified it. You've not said a word of outrage about it. You had no problem with any of this. So spare me your outrage.
By admitting new states into the union? You really believe that crap about packing the courts? C'mon man....c'mon...
Revenge is owed and revenge is due...
Re: Current Events Thread
See, you can't do it. You can't hold the left accountable. You're justifying them "no help from the government," when a good portion of these assholes were WEALTHY. Some traveled from protest to protest just to riot, one girl was hiding out at her parents summer house from the FBI. Others were out to rob, assault and destroy. But you can't admit it. You can't admit they call themselves leftists. All you see is, "my team, good!"
"Good God man" wtf kind of answer is this? Is it not true? (Yes, it is true) ,
Lol, making the tiny district of DC a state, which was specifically mentioned by the founders that it was never to be recognized as a state, but whatevs.
Revenge? You are an unbelievable hypocrite. You can stop your whining and crying about Trumpers, you're 1000000000X worse.

This reinforces what I said above about hyper-partisan warfare, red/blue extremism, and one of the most insidious concepts of present day culture....faux outrage porn.
IT. HAS. TO. STOP.
Falling on the floor screaming while having a tantrum like a 5 year old child because Trump threw a roll of paper towels in Puerto Rico, accused of insider trading, and won't wear a mask yet sticking your fingers in your ears while yelling "LALALALALALA" when members of the blue team burn down buildings, an illegal alien stalks and murders a college student, blue team politicians caught not wearing masks and accused of insider trading. If any of this gets pointed out, they start in on whataboutism and the cycle repeats.
When someone gets hurt, killed, or arrested at a protest, both sides quickly research the victim so they can learn which team they're on so they can either praise the victim as a saint or incessantly attack them .
It's hypocritical, asinine, and in a nutshell shows how political discourse is in the toilet.
This nonsense isn't sustainable.
Re: Current Events Thread
Good god man...
Are you seriously pretending to forget Biden and his team said before the election they weren't going to concede?
Hell....even Hillary told them not to concede the election "under any circumstances" two months before the election!!!

Sounds like you're living in that "alternate facts universe" you accuse the other side of living in.
Re: Current Events Thread
Did anyone watch his remarks today about prescription drugs?
Holy shit...that is a broken man who looks like he hasn't slept in days.
I think he's been told by certain people high up the totem pole off the record that it's all over and any attempt to somehow steal the election, not leave the White House, etc will be dealt with forcefully.
I've never seen him like this before.
Re: Current Events Thread
I've never seen him that sullen before.
He's also mainly sticking to his script.
Does that sound like a man planning on refusing to leave the White House?
The Trump fan fiction needs to end.
Edit
Trump Jr now has Covid.
I wonder how he was able to catch a Chinese hoax? 
Re: Current Events Thread
I think it's a combo of that disastrous Rudy press conference (the melting hair dye was insane), losing Laura Ingram, and Tucker's take down of his legal team has really hurt. On top of everything, he's a loser, he's humiliated, and there's no saving face.
Who's left to support him, Hannity? The longer he drags this out the worse he looks.
