I hope you gloat in the comments.
New from Pelosi:
“I join the Senate Democratic leader in calling on the VP to remove this president by immediately invoking the 25th amendment. If the vice president and the cabinet do not act, Congress may be prepared to move forward with impeachment.”

Haven’t heard at all from fishfolk or any of my conservative friends on this yet. I have no doubt I’ll get an earful from my best friend on Saturday (it’s his birthday and we’re cautiously gathering a small group of friends). If he even starts in with “antifa in disguise” or any of that bullshit, and I KNOW he will, he will get kicked out of my car. At speed.
First time I’ve heard Judge Garland speak. I’m happy with this pick. He’s the antithesis of Barr. I like the Monaco, Gupta, & Clarke picks too.
All those cons calling for the 25th sound disingenuous because it’s politically safe to do that now.
So, apparently there’s this new standard that it’s totes chill to kick in the doors of gummint buildings if you’re really really cheesed off.
Good to know.
Also, cops shooting people who are unarmed is now bad*

I believe that there are THOUSANDS of actual traitors in the Republican Party and affiliated gangs. They have afflicted this country too long. They are a major factor in the failure to contain the Covid epidemic. They should be hunted down and eradicated completely.
Careful with that rhetoric. We are not them. We do not indiscriminately round up people.
What we do is what Merrick Garland did when chasing down the network that enabled Timothy McVeigh. Which is why I’m kinda glad he’s in charge of DoJ going forward.

Pence is really pissed at Cheeto, since the Q-balls actually got close to murdering him. McConnell is also pissed, since he blames Cheeto for the Georgia senate debacle and the loss of his personal power. With both on board, impeachment should be a slam dunk, with Trump barred forever from federal service. We can survive 12 days of Pence a lot better than we can 12 more days of the orange maniac.

I agree. Articles of Impeachment should be voted on in the House today. I don’t care that GOP Senators in the Senate won’t vote for removal. The House has the power of impeachment, and the circumstances of yesterday require the House to exercise that check on an Executive that has run a muck.

I said nothing about an indiscriminate roundup. Don’t put words in my mouth. I am talking about people against whom actual evidence can be found and regular prosecution initiated.

It would run out the clock on his term at this point. But it looks like Pence is ghosting Pelosi now.

Correct. The 25th Amendment is intended to give the government a safeguard in case a President has a legitimate mental and/or physical breakdown requiring a hand-off of power to the Vice President. Once the term ends, he is free to go as a former President of the United States, with all the rights and benefits thereby conferred.

This is a former police officer who was part of the mob yesterday:
“People were just frustrated, they were angry, and they were at the front of the Capitol,” Jurell Snyder said. “The cops at the gate — they moved aside, gestured with their arms, almost inviting them in, almost, I hate to say it, almost like a set-up — like they wanted us to be disruptive.”

Right: the language is “unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office”. Not “nuts”.
I think Pence wants Cheeto out but refusing to invoke the 25th Amendment and forcing impeachment would allow him to retain at least some cred with the base, potentially very useful when he runs in 2024.
The allure of being POTUS, rather than “acting POTUS,” for even a few days should not be under-estimated either.

Here come the charges. I’d give it 50/50 that Trump at least tries to pardon these assholes, and I don’t know what state charges you could get them on (are DC district criminal charges considered federal?)
Yep. Trump can give them all a full pardon if he wants, but he just doesn’t care about these lowlifes.

re: #112 DesertDenizen
And he will do it preemptively, via tweet, probably as soon as he gets his account back.
Except a tweet doesn’t do it: in the other pardons “by tweet”, there was a formal declaration that came out. This was obviously not written by Trump. Depending on who has to actually do this, they may kinda not get around to it by Jan 20. Plus, participating in this would be an extension of seditious conspiracy, it looks like to me.
If these assholes do get pardoned, it will of course just make them feel even more invincible, and they will keep criming after Jan 20 and more people could easily get killed.

I agree 100%. I’m just predicting his behavior. I already expect more violence, and you’re correct, pardons would increase it exponentially while simultaneously proving seditious intent at all levels.

This is going to be a race to see who acts first: Congress and their impeachment, Pence and the 25A option, or Trump trying to pardon his way out of this.
I would argue Trump’s pardons carry no effect because you can’t pardon yourself, but he thinks he’s the smartest guy in the room and he isn’t listening to anyone sane at this point.

Absolutely right.
I do not care if Chuck can’t get 67 votes in the Senate.
Trump MUST go down in the history books as the only president who has been impeached twice.
it isn’t even so much that it leads to expulsion in the senate. it’s that the senate has to actually go on record, after impeachment in the House, as to which members finally believe Trump needs to go. Some of these guys talk a good game. Are they actually willing to go on record as supporting expulsion?

Has the Prez decided that s/he is just not up to the job or just doesn’t want to do it anymore, a la the penultimate Pope? No?
I can see the 25th being invoked in any of those cases, either as a temp or a permanent fix.
But if none of those are true, and the Prez doesn’t want to leave, we are pretty much stuck with her/im unless his Cabinet chucks her/im out, which would require them to decide he is *mentally* unfit to continue. Which would mean they would have to say he’s not sane.

An unarmed woman shot by police. Even though they usually find it okay when police shoot other unarmed persons.

There’s virtually no chance that Repubs will allow themselves to be seen as responsible for knifing him in the back at the last hour.

The Election is certified valid at all levels.
Thus, ANY federal agency refusing to IMMEDIATELY and fully comply with the orderly transition of power to Joe Biden and his administration MUST be investigated and those responsible tried for sedition and insurrection up to and including the current shitbag President of the United States.
I don’t give a damn if it’s a Cabinet Secretary or a some lowly supply gofer who hid the toner cartridges, if they’re dragging their feet or impeding transfer of power in even the slightest manner, they need to have the hammer dropped on their goddamn heads to the maximum extent allowed by law, up to and including long, long prison sentences at hard labor.
I mostly especially include the goddamned generals in this as well.
Any attitude, ANY reluctance, any foot dragging or bureaucratic bullshit that these Pentagon fuckers are so damn good at, anything other than full, immediate compliance and an enthusiastic YES, SIR! in support of the civilian transfer of power, so much as a roll of the eyes, should result in an immediate court martial and prison. These sons of bitches need to be brought firmly to heel. They need to start leading by PERSONAL example or be removed from the service. NO EXCEPTIONS.
So long as I’m on this subject, if you insist on the title “General” or “Admiral” or “Colonel” or “Captain” after you’ve left or retired from service, then you should be held to the full laws and authority of the UCMJ. I.e. if you insist on calling yourself GENERAL Flynn, then you should be held accountable under the full obligations of that title. Or don’t use it, ever.
Any member of the government, in uniform or out, who puts ideology and political party above duty, the law, and their oath needs to be purged from service without mercy or delay.

The election has to be certified, which shouldn’t take long, since they both won by a big enough margin not to trigger an automatic recount. Remembering Al Franken’s first narrow win though, the GOP might take advantage of it’s temporary numerical advantage to block their seating if Perdue and Loeffler file lawsuits.

It only works in states with large minority populations and growing urban centers with educated populations. The GOP has a death grip on the declining, heavily white, uneducated rural states. But Texas is coming into our sights, and if we can turn Texas blue, that’s a death sentence for the GOP.

Precisely. The entire intent was to ensure that Trump remained as President and to prevent the orderly transfer of power. Just because no one was wearing a uniform or that there wasn’t a detailed plan in place doesn’t change the underlying fact that they were trying to overthrow the gov’t and install Trump as President, election results be damned.

re: #276 lawhawk

And yes, I know Walsh’s point is that the cops themselves didn’t kill BLM protesters (*citation needed*), but the cops were gladhanding with Rittenhouse and let him walk right on by after killing people.
It also glosses over the fact that the Capitol Hill police opened the gates for the insurrectionists to enter the building. It also glosses over that the Capitol resembled a scene from V for Vendetta in anticipation of BLM protests, while security yesterday was at a level whose most charitable explanation involves Hanlon’s Razor. It glosses over the fact that cops were taking selfies with insurrectionists inside the building and that the vast majority of people were simply allowed to walk away.
Last but not least, no BLM protesters were armed and invading a federal building. I still don’t fully know the circumstances of the shooting, but she was in the midst of an armed incursion into the Capitol building. That’s the kind of shit causes LEO to start firing. A fair chunk of time, BLM protesters were getting run down, beaten, maced, etc. by police with tactical gear. People aren’t always going to sit back and take a boot to the chest.

Sure, if Trump actually gets his powers removed. The 25th is useless because to get that started a majority of Trump’s cabinet has to move against Trump.
That isn’t happening because they are also Trumpist criminals and/or have made themselves unavailable precisely because of this.

One of the arguments that Lincoln Project made for not working within the national DNC is that it takes to long to get anything done. On their own, they could have an ad out slamming a politician before s/he was even done with their speech. I think that one of the reason’s that Stacey has been so effective is that she can call the shots without having to deal with a huge bureaucracy. I wish her well for whatever office she wants to run for, but I hope she doesn’t become anything more than a well-heeded consultant for the DNC. Fair Fight can go national on it’s own.
