(5,125 posts)And what about that Mike Pence? They were screaming that they wanted to hang you Mike. And you don't think the 25th amendment should be invoked?
Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right, here I am stuck in the middle.

(23,727 posts)What he tries between now & then will probably be worse than the Capitol stunt, He's a cornered animal &
the walls are closing in. He will get more unhinged like Pence is concerned about, I'd think a coup against
the U.S. Government would prove he's already A+++unhinged. For the safety of everyone in this country
he should be sitting in jail right now to stop him from directing his next unhinged plot, and there will be
one

(1,426 posts)What if he just keeps on ranting about how the election was stolen, he's the legitimate president, people have to rise up and revolt, etc., etc.? He may not be living in the White House (having left fingernail scratches on the front portico as he is dragged out), but he can continue to ran about how the election was stolen and he's the rightful ruler, can't he? Unless he's------jailed....

This is not just terrorism. They are declaring full blown war on the US.

(220 posts)In my 70 plus years on this earth I have met some delusional crazy people but after reading the blog on the Nye County Republican party's web site:
https://nyegop.org/blog-2/
I do not think I have read anything more just out and out insane. I included the link above for folks who want to get a full dose. For those who don't a couple cut and paste examples follow (under 4 paragraphs):
"Now, nobody has been more supportive of Trump than Lin Wood. This mans career has been fighting defamation lawsuits which means that he doesnt say things, no matter how outrageous they may seem, without them being true as he knows the consequences of slander. With this in mind, Lin Wood has become a fountain of information and leaks of hitherto unknown information revealing some of the depths of corruption and evil in our highest offices. This is the same man who recently said that arrests are coming over the next few days. He called Pence a traitor well before the counting of the elector votes on the 6th. But did you know that he also said that the president, following the capitol incident, left DC on a Doomsday aircraft (used for communications in the event of a nuclear war) with his family and was in Abilene, TX. This aircraft was confirmed by both flight trackers and eyes on the ground. In short, he is a trustworthy source of information. If you have a means to follow Lin Wood on Parler, I would highly recommend that you do so to stay abreast of things taking place. You can also listen to this podcast"
"Ive mentioned this before but it bears repeating. None of us would have believed what we all now know except that Trump and his team have painstakingly taken the time to show the public. Want to show what Congress thinks of you? Highlight that the stimulus bill only sent $600 to each American but billions to other countries (payoffs, money laundering). Want to show the extent of collusion with the CCP at all levels of government? Bring multiple lawsuits against the election fraud from the local courts all the way to the Supreme Court which will show just how brazenly treasonous the judges are. Want the public to see how rigged the election system has been for many years? Present the evidence openly as we have seen. Even this week we have sworn testimony out of Italy that the Leonardo defense contractor used satellites to change the votes from our election in the USA from Italy. These Dominion voting machines were actively sending data to Germany, Serbia, China, Iran, and now Rome. This corruption is MUCH bigger than any of us expected but none of us would have believed it until now. This is why things seem to have taken so long. "
Folks the next ten days is going to be a crazy ride. Hopefully there will be no more violence. I am an optimist and it is my view that the United States will be a better place not because of tRump but because the United States survived tRump.
