#BYEDON 2020 - The End Better Fucking Be Near

[Kamilah Hauptmann]

Is anyone else starting to get the feeling Trump isn't going to come out with his New and Improved health care plan any time soon?

Anyone?

Year four of infrastructure week!

Anecdote on the future ex-President Trump:

 

[Aribeth Zelin]

McConnell has never liked Treatler and just used him for his own ends. Also, I think more Senators are less likely to be forgiving because they aren't quite at the whim of voters.

 

[Veritable Quandry]

If half the Republicans were to boycott the trial, the Senate could convict with only Democrats in support. They only need 51 Senators to have a quorum, and a conviction requires 2/3 of those present.

I'll have to take your word for it, since that link leads to the IMDB page for John Borman's 1972 movie Deliverance, (which I was able to verify before clicking on the link simply by floating my mouse pointer above it, though maybe not all browsers do that).

The idea is so repulsive I wasn't moved to move my mouse. I'll always think of hog calling differently now.

If this is true, then we need to spread a rumor that QAnon will see anyone who attends the Senate trial to be a traitor to the "cause."

Damn, it seems there will be no dragging out of the oval office Wednesday at noon .....
Now what to do with the popcorn I have reserved for that highlight of the Trump presidency?

 

[danielravennest]

I'm guessing you mean hog calling contests.

I'm guessing you didn't follow the link.

He would have to be accommodated on a military base somewhere very remote (within the US -- I doubt you can lawfully ship him off to Gitmo).

That's why I mentioned Guam, it's a US territory and has an Air Force *and* Navy base.

 

[Veritable Quandry]

So no dragging him out of the Oval Office, but he should be kicked out of Mara Lago in a few months for violating the zoning restrictions.

Maybe we can do a Game of Thrones walk of shame for him

It's now a race between Palm Beach City Council, Fulton County GA District Attorney, and Manhattan District Attorney as to who gets to be first in making his life miserable. The US Senate is probably too slow to be in contention. The starting gun is in 64 hours.

Yay! He doesn't dare have a rally on that day after what he caused last week.

I think I speak for many when I say that gives me a breath of relief.

That's why I mentioned Guam, it's a US territory and has an Air Force *and* Navy base.

So long as he remains with the US civilian jurisdiction, I guess.

I have grave doubts about the legality, not to say the morality, of shipping people off into military bases outside the civil jurisdiction -- it's been unlawful in England since 1679.

As someone has quipped, the only reason anyone moves to Tampa is to strip.

Besides lying, it might be the only thing she's good at.

McConnell has never liked Treatler and just used him for his own ends. Also, I think more Senators are less likely to be forgiving because they aren't quite at the whim of voters.

But they are at the whim of registered Republicans, I think -- the reason they were all so scared of Trump was that they feared he'd use Twitter to get them primaried by his MAGA supporters in their home states if they stepped out of line.

Now that's not so much a threat, so long as he's off Twitter, but I guess if he gets on OANN or Newsmax demanding that RINOs who vote for his impeachment be primaried, lynched and run out of town (not necessarily in that order), it might still cause problems for some of them.

Dunno. So much can happen in the next couple of months, I guess.
