If Trump Loses In November, What Do You Think Happens Next - Page 24

JediKooter · 01-06-2021, 02:01 PM

My thinking is, since they are on federal property, the feds will be the ones doing it, which will soon be run by a democrat AG. Not sure if that's how it really works though.

I'm specifically thinking about the utter gridlock that could occur if they can't reach an agreement on when to certify. I'm hoping that it's enumerated. If not....

DOD just denied a request by DC for Natl Guard troops.

Where is the US Military and why are they not clearing the Capitol.

I guess if you want to attack the US Government moving forward, just send a bunch of white folks waving flags and you can waltz right in.

bhlloy · 01-06-2021, 02:08 PM

Trump has killed the USA and everything it stood for. There is no coming back from this and things will never be the same.

You probably don't want martial law involved here, but then again there's this:

They can see people in army fatigues using a riot shield to break the windows of the Capitol, someone’s been shot, and they’re worried about optics?

What good would 25th Amendment do? He's out in 2 weeks and doing it would escalate the protest/violence. What practical effect would it have? Seriously. They only listen to one person. Pence just stabbed them in the back - they gonna listen to him tell them the election's over and go home? I don't get it.

You have to impeach and convict, since it bans him from ever holding federal office again.
