OT: American Politics

[lecoqsportif]

New York Times is reporting Trump's aides had to dissuade him from going to the House to try to defend himself...

Hmmm. I suppose he would just incite another klan lynch mob, but if it comes across as sad flatulence it would be a suitable humiliation.

In fact, that should be his new nom de guerre. Sad Flatulence.

what in the ****

Yah, that is some deeply weird shit.

I’m not sure how the issue of police culture will be addressed. There is a big, big problem here and it could take a decade to fix, if feasible.

I am not sure if "crimes against humanity" rises to the level of high crimes and misdemeanors though. Might set a bad precedent to impeach Biden for that.

These are cases where the whole “you just gotta speak to these people with compassion and understanding or you’ll never change any minds” is a load of crap. You’re never gonna change the minds of someone this far gone regardless. They’re not even living in reality.

I was confident that sdny would do their thing regardless but this changes so much about how trumpco will be handled by the feds. It stops being about politics when you find out that you personally were a few minutes away from being a hostage at best.

Its incredibly important that the Democrats replicate the voter registration ground game that they showed in Georgia. The only way forward from this is for the Democrats to hold power for long enough to starve them out and force change within the Republican party.

Yep, you may have to accept that some people are to far gone, start worrying about the children.

This show is going to have a more fascinating ending than I had originally thought. Actual high tension. More drama than dark comedy. Will also likely paint trump as a wannabe tyrant rather than an addled buffoon.

Never forget that trump tried to start up what would have ostensibly become the Trump youth for just that reason.

I want the show to end already, tho.

 

[leafman101]

Jumped the shark IMO. This season hasn't been realistic.

Yeah same. I'm a bit concerned that we are only half way through the insurrection season.

None of it has been realistic...

This script gets laughed out of every office in Hollywood, even as recently as 2017

 

[zeke]

yes i hope the trumpshow ends up with a lingering sense of cruelty and evil instead of just buffoonery.

 

[axlsalinger]

It's so much of both, though ...
