Will Trump Resign or will he get the boot via 25th amendment?

[Iamapirate]

They did a bang-up job of painting themselves that way years ago at Charlottesville. The attack on the capitol building only further reinforced that image.

Charlottesville, organised by Biden voter Richard Spencer. Not representative of the 75 million that voted for Trump, but you already know that.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

There's nothing patriotic about an armed insurrection. It's fundamentally anti-American.

Armed, but mostly peaceful insurrection

So you're just not even gonna make a genuine attempt at defending these people then. I guess I can't blame you, they are ultimately indefensible scum.

The events at the Capitol were deadly. An insurrection against the United States and the results of its presidential election would necessarily have to be violent.

Why would I try to defend them? I don't agree with that ideology and they are optically very stupid people.

If you believe however this is some massive coalition in the trump base, you're in a bubble.

If you're talking about the Capitol riot, I think the guy carrying Pelosi's podium was pretty funny.

Arson doesn't scream "mostly peaceful", either.

A good observation.
Now observe that I didn't claim it was.

House Votes 223-205 to Call on Pence to Strip Trump of Power

Pence will not approve the 25th amendment because he's worried of backlash from the Republicans.

One man against Silicon Valley, The Media Monopoly, The World Bank, United Nations, World Health Organization, China, The Entertainment Industry, The Sports Industry, and who ever I may have forgotten to leave out.

It's like he's Dr. DOOM. Super villain extraordinaire; above the law, able to shoot missiles from his finger tips, and command the military, politicians, and police, regardless of National laws. His goal? To get super SUPER rich of course, and to run the world into the ground by destroying the O-zone layer, and ushering people into concentration camps, based upon their skin pigmentation, genitalia, and sexual fetish.

And THAT folks, is the official narrative in a nut shell.

 

[Hells Malice]

I doubt he'd resign. As dumb as he acts, most of the things he does are very specific so he can spin the narrative for his cult. I can't see a world where he'd be able to spin resignation into something positive for his story.

...Except most of these industries/entities were on his side right up until he tried to overthrow democracy in the US with a violent insurrection. The breaking point should've come so much sooner, but it didn't.

The other stuff you wrote is just ridiculous, not to mention insulting to Dr. Doom.

You are so full of crap it isn't funny. Then again that goes without saying, and you know this. So why are you here posting disinformation among a society that's been through this enough to see what's going on?!?

Says the guy who thinks every corporation was against the election of a pro-corporate candidate running from within a pro-corporate political party.

Does every single conspiracy theory you believe in boil down to a roundabout method of boot-licking? Or just most of them?

It's not Conspiracy Theory, it's called Conspiracy Analysis, aka Journalism, or what used to be the definition of Journalism.

And no, not EVERY corporation, country, or what have you, but clearly, CLEARLY those in charge of the most used hi-ways and bi-ways of digital communication, the gospel of our global culture, seems to have a pretty TIGHT grip in regards to who can censor who, don't ya think?

To the extent that your average Joe is involved, sure, we can agree on that. The president, however, has a press room in the same building where he lives and works (or in this case, "works"). Every major network carries those briefings, and that includes plenty of online visibility by default. He's CHOOSING to avoid press briefings, and he's CHOOSING to play the victim here.

For four plus years, Twitter gave him infinitely more leniency than your average user because he brought more attention to their platform, but there was never any guarantee he'd continue to get special treatment for life. This is the first time he's ever been held accountable for any of his words or actions, so a temper tantrum is to be expected. That doesn't mean you need to commiserate with him, he'd just as soon throw you under the bus like he did Pence.

OPTION: Patriots escort Trump back into office.

Go back into your dungeon, MAGA troll.

Trump will be impeached, starting tomorrow.
He lost his social media platforms, his supporters are being arrested, his cabinet members and Whitehouse staffers are resigning left and right, he lost the election, and he's being kicked out of office...
The son-of-a-bitch did it... He made America Great Again.

Heh, ya, what you just described has been the pun of every joke on late night, the Simpsons, etc. They put that puppy on auto repeat just as they do the "orange man" one.
Something is up. When Trump and Hilary were running, I was convinced that the world had gone mad, considering how seriously everyone took it. I of course did not vote that year; after all Ron Paul was out of the race for good and off to his other projects.
I never liked the man, not all through the 80's and onward. I did not understand the significance at ALL. I mean a freaking BUSINESS MAN!?!?!?! And Trump of all people!!! And so I tuned it all out.

Then I began to hear him speak of things about ending our ties with this element of the Military Industrial Complex, and I sat up and noticed, because it ticked me off. Then I saw him siding with the Alex Jones crowd, and I instantly thought of him as a Yes man, willing to sell himself to who ever was buying. Then Syria happened, or rather caught up, as we had been in war from Bush Jr., all through Peace Prize Willing Obama, and then into Trump. Trump attacked, and I was convinced the man was evil, until he pulled out, and began to backtrack towards his resolutions.

The whole time, from his candidacy to presidency, the left ran a campaign against him, with money that could have been used towards freeing future generations from the deficit's shackles, donations towards grass root alternative schools, lobbying against pharmaceutical companies, opening up truly free digital platforms like we had in the 90's, teaching gardening, mending, etc.

Meanwhile he makes moves to reduce the prices of pharmaceuticals... we'll wait and see how that plays out. If it is true, people will talk. Also he fired Henry Kissinger and Madeleine Albright, among other, which if in itself is not saying something...

Seriously, look into them!!!!

Errr...what? Yeah, Democrats tend to run campaigns against Republicans and vice-versa. How are you gonna complain about one side's campaign spending and not the other? After all, candidates like Bernie Sanders take what's left over and donate it to charity, while candidates like Trump just pocket whatever they can.

Meanwhile he makes moves to reduce the prices of pharmaceuticals... we'll wait and see how that plays out.

He signed an executive order, which does nothing. Private pharmaceutical companies do not have to adhere to such an order, so it was entirely for show. Looks like you bought the smoke and mirrors act.

Also he fired Henry Kissinger and Madeleine Albright, among other, which if in itself is not saying something...

He also hired John Bolton and several other war criminals from the GWB administration. Given another term he definitely would've gone to war with Iran, as he had previously demonstrated a subservience to both Israel and Saudi Arabia. Not to mention he asked Generals about his authority to start such a war after he had already been defeated in the 2020 election.
