    Donald Duck is sooooo stupid, you might as well go poke fun at someone in a rubber room, while civil war is anything but stupid.

    I'm thinking they might do that. If Rudy spills the beans or passes the buck, they'll have a more powerful case in court, because the jury would hear the testimony. The jury will hear directly from the Charlatan's helper.

    Rudy has fucked up his brain so badly in the last decade, they may have to medicate him first.

    I'm actually beyond caring about Trump's second impeachment. I don't really care who presides over it. I'm not particularly interested in whether or not he is convicted or removed from anything. Also it's worth mentioning that I'm not particularly affected by the idea that he could run again for president. I believe it should be clear but perhaps it isn't that he's not a good president.

    I think the idea that the Biden presidency is a conspiracy to thwart Republican interests in America is absolutely ridiculous!

    Further we should be making an effort to make amends across the aisle, but instead the bickering continues.... Again, I find it hard to care who is to blame. But I think that the reality is Donald Trump should be convicted in the Senate. I did notice an article that the Chief Justice will not preside over the Senate issue - I don't know if that's a good sign or a bad sign. The emoluments thing didn't stick. I think that that's the supreme Court acting as a symbol of conservatism and I don't think it's appropriate. They made a blatantly wrong call! Why would you dismiss anything against that guy? :tearsofjoy:

    Forty percent of the public approves of Donald Duck, the only interest republicans have left is civil war, because the Tea Party had televangelism have turned their brains into Jell-0 brand pudding. Biden is definitely an attempt to thwart civil war, and against the wishes of republican voters.

    PolitiFact - What's up with Donald Trump and Andrew Jackson?

    excerpt:

    "The New York Times’ Peter Baker offered a side-by-side comparison of the two presidents, including seemingly strong similarities in their "man of the people" stylings, their pugnaciousness and even their eccentric hairstyles.

    "President Trump seems to like the tough-guy persona of Andrew Jackson," said H. W. Brands, a historian at the University of Texas-Austin and author of Andrew Jackson: His Life and Times. "There is no question that Jackson was decisive, and that he cared nothing for political propriety."

    Some historians also see an intriguing shared dichotomy: Both Jackson and Trump professed to care about the ordinary man, and both came from great wealth. They each railed against political elites, but were less outspoken in their criticism against other types of rich and powerful Americans.

    "Jackson had been a large import-export merchant, a lawyer and judge, and was as of the 1820s one of the largest slave-owners in central Tennessee, a man of immense power over the days and hours and even the lives of about 100 enslaved blacks, not to mention dozens of white debtors," Opal said. "Yet in his idea of ‘the people,’ he was an ordinary fella, a regular Joe. That is a strange kind of populism."

    Still, several historians cautioned against going overboard in comparing Jackson and Trump.

    For instance, Trump, a real estate developer, never served in the military and never served in elected office until he won the presidency. Jackson, by contrast, was a celebrated general, a member of both chambers of Congress, and a justice on the Tennessee Supreme Court.

    "Jackson was a true egalitarian with a passion for democratic equality that you just don’t see in Trump," said David Greenberg, a presidential historian who teaches at Rutgers University."

    If those at the top are not held accountable this type of thing will continue, it will get worse, and eventually we will be living in the Authoritarian States of American.

    Would you be concerned then?

    They face a year in prison and up to $100,000 fine for stealing a coat rack.


    Trump called inspiration for one Columbus man accused in Capitol riot

    excerpt:

    "Both are charged with federal misdemeanor counts of knowingly entering any restricted buildings or grounds and violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds. Thompson is also charged with theft of government property.

    The charges carry potential prison terms of up to one year and fines up to $100,000."

    Trump called inspiration for one Columbus man accused in Capitol riot

    excerpt:

    "According to a statement of facts filed by an FBI agent, Thompson fled after dropping a wooden coat rack that appeared to have been taken from the Capitol. Lyon remained and cooperated with the officers, although video evidence later showed that he was lying when he told them that he hadn't entered the Capitol.

    Lyon allowed police to search his backpack, which contained marijuana, two pipes and an open bottle of bourbon, the agent wrote."

    Beavis and Butthead have more class, while these guys belong on the Gong Show.

    The Capitol rioters kept posting incriminating things on social media. Unsurprisingly, they were mocked — and arrested.
    By Travis M. Andrews
    Jan. 19, 2021 at 6:00 a.m. EST

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2021/01/19/capitol-riot-social-media/

    excerpt:

    "Or Wisconsin’s Kevin Loftus, who took things a step further. After posting a selfie in the Capitol with the caption “one of 700 inside,” he later, perhaps inevitably, posted on Facebook, “i am wanted by the FBI for illegal entry.”

    Or Joshua Matthew Black, from Alabama, who appeared in a video posted to YouTube two days after the attack. In it, he admits to entering the Capitol and offers up that he was carrying a knife. “Once we found out Pence turned on us and that they had stolen the election, like, officially, the crowd went crazy. I mean, it became a mob. We crossed the gate,” he said, according to court documents. “We just wanted to get inside the building. I wanted to get inside the building so I could plead the blood of Jesus over it. That was my goal.”"
