Dude, you literally just report his tweets all the time. Sometimes with a couple words in exclamation points beforehand if we're (un)lucky. Hold yourself to the same standard that you hold the world to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.Vic20 Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 What do Pelosi and Schumer have on other democrats?! Let's just assume, for a moment, that they both were at the peak of what ever game they imagined they ever were. Even under those conditions, how can they not see that their selfish clutching at power undermines other voices in the party? You know why we have an 11 billion year old as our president elect? Name recognition and a long, VISIBLE, history in the party. Failing to groom the next generation of household names is so damn short sighted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LazyPiranha Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 What do people make of this Newsmax thing? Is this just the same usual hysterics where they bitch about something being too liberal then bail after a week or two and come crawling back? I have not and will not watch or pay attention to Newsmax so I have no clue if they have any shot of really capitalizing on this sudden exodus or if the chuds will grow tired of it like parlor or any of the other alternatives.

I don't think Trump will be successful here, but he's certainly going to try and that alone is worth so the coverage in the world. However, the current stance from many in the media and elsewhere seems to be that there's no way Trump would actually attempt this. I just don't understand how anyone can look at Trump and the GOP and think to themselves "there's no way they'd stoop so low". Why should they be given the benefit of the doubt? With that kind of thinking being in the forefront, we deserve Schumer leading things in the Senate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With that kind of thinking being in the forefront, we deserve Schumer leading things in the Senate. Yup. Trump basically committed an underpants gnome coup. All the angling around mail in ballots, slowing them down, discrediting them, trying to stop the count was the plan. The part in the middle that was the question mark was basically the courts stepping in to find a way to turn the chaos into a Trump win. Seems Trump didn't have a concrete plan for that, he just assumed. That's probably why his one spox went out there and tried to call in the favor from Barrett on live TV. Luckily, so far, they have declined to do so. A lot harder to steal 4 or 5 states than it is 1. But there should be no doubt that a coup was attempted. Because Trump's attempts are often so slow, clumsy, and pathetic too often gets him a pass on these things. Reminds me a lot of the Mueller investigation, actually. Trump fired more people to hobble the investigation than Nixon ever did, but it's never talked about anymore and certainly not remembered alongside the Saturday night massacre.

Trump is bad at planning things, but just because he has thus far been pretty bad at planning this coup doesn't mean his attempt shouldn't be considered a scandal that should live forever in highschool history classes and then promptly forgotten about. Americans aren't going to learn anything by this other than, maybe, how to work it for someone else that's far more competent. However, just acting like it's not happening because it hasn't been very successful until now or because norms is crazy to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
