Looks like Trump will be impeached again! Asst. House Speaker says it’ll happen on or before Wednesday. DOJ investigating him for inciting the riot.

However these moves end, at least they’ll occupy both of Trump’s brain cells. Let him think his latest “I’m shocked, SHOCKED! to find gambling is going on in here!” video worked and who knows what mayhem he’ll unleash?

Yep, how could anyone forget how the Republicans tried to delegitimise Obama. Trump’s Birther Conspiracy was nothing more than a racist attack and Mitch McConnell conducted a total opposition campaign expecting it would make Obama a 1 term President.

AURANGZEB......

You get to learn something new on this site everyday!

Can't help feeling that Aurangzeb may also be an old Hindi word meaning 'Orange One'....

I have to admit that a mate came up with this.  Until recently, I thought it was a play on words, aurangz = orange, but Aurangzeb was real and was the bloke who led the downfall of the Mughal empire.

Twitter has suspended Trump’s account permanently! And Apple is considering removing Parler from its App Store over content moderation concerns. Looks like he’ll soon be a modern Napoleon exiled to a digital island of Elba.

Wonder if he’s going to grant a pardon to all of the rioters. That would be immensely controversial given that a cop was killed and his murderers would get off scot free and the same would be true of the extremist who drove a van containing Molotov cocktails, a semiautomatic weapon and a handgun close to the Capitol building.

Twitter posted a statement concerning Trump’s suspension in which it asserted that it was motivated by attempts made by extremists to coordinate further attacks on the Capitol building and elsewhere before and on Inauguration Day and the fear Trump would use Twitter to incite them.

Nah I'm pointing out how neither side has a balanced opinion of politics.  They both behave like spoilt children and throw the toys out of the cot when they don't get their way and cannot faulty concede they've lost and also gloat when they win.

Its very 🇺🇸 thing to do.

He's already thrown them under the bus publicly, then 30s later encouraged them to fight some more!

How do the dumb fecks keep believing him, he keeps telling them he'll march besides them, and they cheer but he disappears?

I don’t like this type of “both sides” argument. There’s a boulder on 1 side and pebble on the other: there’s a rock on both sides. Go back over the last couple of decades and compare responses to presidential elections and you won’t find much to support your both sides argument. Just 1 example: how would Trump and his supporters have behaved if the last election came down to 500 votes in 1 State? Let’s add these details: Biden’s brother’s the Governor of the State and supports Biden’s attempts to stop further counting of votes and a Democrat-dominated Supreme Court shuts down further counting.  There’d be civil war. Instead, Al Gore issued a gracious concession and as sitting Vice-President presided over the certification of George Dubya’s electoral college win as Pence did a couple of days ago. And he did so with a smile and good grace. Far from retaliating with a campaign of total opposition, many Democrats in Congress even supported Bush’s ill-advised war against Iraq.

I like this description of Trump by Amanda Marcotte:
Quote
Donald Trump is a dull, nasty and childish man — but his legacy of amazing idiocy will be long remembered

We're tentatively starting to emerge from the four year-long national nightmare of Donald Trump's presidency, but the reckoning of what the nation endured will take years to really understand. Trump was terrible in so many ways that it's hard to catalog them all: His sociopathic lack of regard for others. His towering narcissism. His utter ease with lying. His cruelty and sadism. The glee he took in cheating and stomping on anything good and decent. His misogyny and racism. His love of encouraging violence, only equaled by his personal cowardice.

But of all the repulsive character traits in a man so wholly lacking in any redeemable qualities, perhaps the most perplexing to his opponents was Trump's incredible stupidity. On one hand, it was maddening that a man so painfully dumb, a man who clearly could barely read — even on those rare occasions when he deigned to wear glasses — still had the low cunning necessary to take over the Republican Party and then the White House.

On the other hand, it was the one aspect of Trump's personality that kept hope alive. Surely a man so stupid, his opponents believed, will one day blunder so badly he can't be saved, even by his most powerful sycophants. That has proved to be the case as Trump fumbles his way through a failed coup, unable and unwilling to see that stealing the election from Joe Biden is a lost cause.

With the greatest of respect Thry, that’s rubbish.

American politics has always been marked by the greatest respect of the constitution, the oath of office, and those who have held the offices of president and vice-president.  It’s only since the evil, bloated, delusional, psychopathic, failed reality TV personality lied his way to the presidency that things have changed.

The cry baby is the first POTUS to voluntarily decline to attend his successor’s inauguration.  That says it all!

Not necessarily unprecedented.....but perhaps ominous.

If Trump's minions want to make a bit of a fuss at the inauguration it would be a bit 'awkward' if Trump was there.
I suspect Biden's plans will be additionally 'low key' given the Covid situation...and that might not be a bad thing.

I'm quite pleased that Trump declined.
