How would go about squaring that TheProle Nov 18 #1

He could say he was just kidding. milestogo Nov 18 #4

lol. you mean the sting operation where Orange surrendered his information? bucolic_frolic Nov 18 #22

And what would that accomplish exactly? PoindexterOglethorpe Nov 18 #2

Have the military arrest him for treason milestogo Nov 18 #3

Simply declaring a state of emergency PoindexterOglethorpe Nov 18 #26

Trump should have been arrested for all the classified material he stole questionseverything Nov 18 #28

"...put him on trial for all of the crimes of which he is accused." markodochartaigh Nov 18 #34

It would help set the tone for a nationwide response to the eminent Emergency. Magoo48 Nov 19 #53

My 2 cents DingleBerryNW Nov 18 #5

This response is worth a lot more than 2 cents. Magoo48 Nov 19 #54

See my wish list. A lot of doors need to barred. usonian Nov 18 #6

I'm Hoping Biden Taped Their Conversation And He..... global1 Nov 18 #7

He won't do a damn thing, just like Garland wouldn't. I am thoroughly disappointed. Absolutely disappointed. SWBTATTReg Nov 18 #8

They will say the US let go of democracy without so much as a whimper. milestogo Nov 18 #9

I am so afraid of that. n/t yellow dahlia Nov 18 #36

The irony is that Frank D. Lincoln Nov 18 #15

Biden was afraid to replace Dept heads and Cabinet members, yellow dahlia Nov 18 #38

It's very "We must destroy democracy to save it" Sympthsical Nov 18 #10

My thoughts are similar. It isn't democracy being saved if it is overridden TheKentuckian Nov 18 #11

Even Lincoln had elections during the Civil War Sympthsical Nov 18 #12

To be fair, Lincoln was looking at losing half the country to rebels. We're losing the whole country to mobsters. jaxexpat Nov 18 #19

Exactly! yellow dahlia Nov 18 #39

There are probably a dozen "national emergencies" in effect. Did you mean to say you want Biden to stage a coup? tritsofme Nov 18 #13

And do what? Elessar Zappa Nov 18 #14

Enjoy the fantasies because Biden is too good and decent to do anything other than elocs Nov 18 #16

Casting pearls before treasonous swine? BattleRow Nov 18 #17

All that is necessary for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing. milestogo Nov 18 #21

Ah, Mr. Burke to the rescue, with sanity. Ergo, good people must act to thwart the actions of bad people. jaxexpat Nov 19 #44

So we should kill democracy to save it Asa13 Nov 18 #18

That isn't what I suggested at all. milestogo Nov 18 #20

Right right, emergencies for me but not for thee. tritsofme Nov 18 #23

False equivalence. jaxexpat Nov 19 #45

Only in the mind of someone twisting themselves in a knot trying to justify their support for a coup. tritsofme Nov 19 #46

We'll all see who's twisted into a knot after 1/20/2025. I surely hope I'm wrong. jaxexpat Nov 19 #49

No one is going to stage a coup. What's the point of a discussion so divorced from reality? tritsofme Nov 19 #50

So who becomes President on January 20th in your plan? Polybius Nov 18 #24

Democracy has already been killed Lokee11 Nov 18 #37

Thank you for putting it all out there. yellow dahlia Nov 18 #41

After reading the attached, I see why there was no will from the get go to hold the orange convict acountable. Hotler Nov 18 #25

For what? So Clooney, Stephanopolous and the news script writers can descend again? live love laugh Nov 18 #27

Now your talking! rich7862 Nov 18 #29

I think we need a national movement to not allow the Constitutionally disqualified and mentally unfit Trump to take ShazamIam Nov 18 #30

No, there is no such process other than prevailing on his electors TheKentuckian Nov 19 #47

Trump had Top Secret bathroom at Marmalardo Kid Berwyn Nov 18 #31

Surely that would start a second Civil War Polybius Nov 18 #32

This would be pointless, but... AdamGG Nov 18 #33

I agree, but think it's important to note that Biden will have confirmed more lower court judges than Trump by January. tritsofme Nov 18 #42

Great - wasn't aware of that AdamGG Nov 19 #43

I Think That It Simply Should Be Illegal For A Felon To Be President Baron2024 Nov 18 #35

It isn't and it is near impossible to make it so. TheKentuckian Nov 19 #48

what would be funny is to do it, and make the supreme court shut it down, knowing that restriction will carry over to Takket Nov 18 #40

Yes, full immunity DemMedic Nov 19 #51

Makes you wonder why Trump didn't do it in 2020 Shrek Nov 19 #52
