The Trump Presidency | Biden Inaugurated

140 GOP congressmen voted to not certify the electoral college result.

I'm actually worried impeachment won't make it through Congress again.
 
Fecking hell I just found out Kevin Sorbo is a Qanon loon. My childhood is fecking ruined.

Feck off 2020, wait I mean, feck.

I checked his twitter feed the other day after he was quoted in here and it's scary how far down the rabbit hole he is. I think I only read ten tweets but he managed to check all the moron boxes in those ten with ease.. At least there's no cultural loss for me as I mostly know him from Meet the Spartans.
 



So are we now back to the get it done ASAP approach.. over waiting the reported '100 days' to get more complicit evidence + let Biden get his confirmations and agenda going?

I see no reason why they can't do both at the same time.
 
Surely they'll know the likelihood of whether or not he'll be impeached before the process even starts.

Hopefully it's not just tokenistic like the last time and Republicans don't just cave in to the crazies.

He can't stand again if impeached can he? Surely the republicans will want to take that opportunity for their own good.
 
Haven't seen BSG but Admiral Cain from there/Ensign Ro from TNG is a massive Bernie bro

Ensign Ro was obviously a leftist - in the extreme, you could say.

Too extreme, you could also say - at least according to Picard.

Who was more of a moderate, statesman like type at the end of the day. But Picard liked her - a lot. And Picard - to make an obvious point - would never in a million years have signed up for Trump.

:lol: Well played.

Also:

Worf: Someone who would insist on the chain of command per default. But clearly never a Trumpist. He'd never stand for the blatant lies and the sickening lack of honour. If Donnie was his captain - he'd revolt. Or resign.

Data: No chance whatsoever. He'd insist on logic. Trumpism is pretty much based on the absence of logic.

Riker: Nah. He learned the hard way that simply following the leader isn't what a good man does. Turned into an almost archetypal anti-fascist in the sense that he prided himself on NOT bowing down to authority for the sake of it.

La Forge: No chance there either, I'd say. He wouldn't blindly follow any leader (pun intended) - and he was a genuine scientist, meaning that - like Data - he would simply dismiss any blatantly irrational shit (like claims of widespread election fraud).

Troi: Never. She'd just read Donnie's mind - and, yeah, that would be it.

Crusher: Oh, I don't know. She always struck me as a bit of an idiot, actually. But - no - she certainly wouldn't have jumped on any MAGA bandwagon at the first chance.

Wesley: Who cares?

I think they stand up and say its disgusting that at a time when the american people need their representatives coming together and working to defeat coronavirus (or china virus depending how much of a cnut they are) that the democrats are wasting time on this and they are voting to dismiss the charges so they can get on with governing - pretty easy one to bat away, keep the base onside and still not have to tie yourself to a sinking trump
That's exactly what they will say. Compared to the beginning of 2017 when, controlling all three houses, the first thing they tried to do was get rid of the office of ethics. They really are odious cnuts.

Picard was basically living in a post-scarcity socialist utopia, he'd set phasers to kill.
 
This sucks. Looks like that viral tweet wasn't very accurate.





Facts First: The tweet is inaccurate in multiple ways.

1) Trump would lose his post-presidency pension only if both the House voted to impeach him and then the Senate voted to remove him from office; impeachment itself, without removal, would not result in Trump being denied any benefits.
2) The law makes clear that presidents who have lifetime Secret Service protection never get a $1 million travel allowance.
3) It is unclear that Trump would lose lifetime Secret Service protection even if the Senate voted to remove him and prohibit him from running.
4) Even a Senate vote to remove Trump would not prohibit him from running in 2024; for the Senate to ban him from the presidency, it would have to hold an additional vote on this question.

If you're even halfway into SciFi you should go and watch it. It's on Amazon Prime. Which is relevant this thread because Jeff Besos is far richer than Trump.
And then move on to the the Expanse, which is awesome and also funded by Amazon and personally of interest to Bezos, who is still far richer than Trump.

The Expanse in good and the villain of seasons 1 and 2 is basically a Bezos/Musk hybrid.

Yep - but he wasn't oblivious to the fact that this utopia was pretty fragile. Nor to the fact that his values weren't necessarily universal (literally speaking). In fact, he was constantly called upon not only to defend, but also to question the very foundations of the society he represented.

He did the former - but he also did the latter.
 
Yep, there's no bad outcome for the Democrats as I see it. Either way it'll exacerbate the coming GOP civil war.

No bad outcome?

These fascist Trumpers see a black woman as next up in 4 years time.

America is going to be a global problem in the next decade.
 
Is Giuliani going to get the Medal of Freedom too? Might as well give it to Ron Jeremy too.
 
We have Arnold though, so add Conan/Terminator/Kindergarten Cop to our team.

Let's not forget he is The Last Action Hero, and also John Matrix, Ben Richards,
Douglas Quaid and Dutch!

Sly is a legend but he's a pussy compared to Arnie in action movie hard men comparisons.
 
As for Merkel:

He has been shut down as a Twitter user - on a private account. Because he has violated the terms of service. Legally - this is open and shut. The only reason people - including Merkel, apparently - are making a fuss about this is because we're talking about Donald Trump, who has - remarkably - made posting shit (usually lies and propaganda) on a personal Twitter account part and parcel of his presidency.

Why the feck should we - or Angela Merkel - indulge him in that regard?

His freedom of speech has not been restricted. He is free - more free than most - to make his views known through any number of channels.

In short - bullshit, Angela.

ETA He can call a feckin' press conference and say whatever he wants. Unlike 99% of the world's population. He can probably keep calling press conferences for the foreseeable future too - as an ex-president. Unlike most people. The idea that he has been gagged is utterly ridiculous - and it really shouldn't be supported by a prominent figure like Merkel. I understand where she's coming from - of course. But this is misguided. Rather than suggesting - in any shape or form - that Trump is being "silenced", she should be stressing that he's actually perfectly free to express himself in any way he wants (but not in ways that violate the terms of certain social media platforms he has signed up to as a private individual).
