respective states made demands of the people they elected to oversee their elections. It's the same sh*t every time, and funny it's the same states that have issues.

Because 70% of the nation will stay camped outside the white house in order to prevent him from doing anything. We will force him to "Howard Hughes" it until inauguration day. Then, we will escort him, his family, his cabinet, interns, and any other staff to prison and place them all in solitary confinement for the rest of their days.

One can dream...

...rather than face the ignominy of inauguration day on the dais.


Does the outgoing pres go to inauguration? Can't remember. Maybe not.

He can definitely start at least one war, or at least try to.

My prediction is, if he loses the election the Secret Service will convince him to go on a whirlwind tour of his golf courses and hotels, and his military aides will be under strict orders to not relay his instructions to the Pentagon.

“But I want to stay in the White House! I have tariffs to impose and military action to start!”
“No, Mr. President. You’re done. We’re trying to figure out a way to keep you out of prison, and pulling a bunch of shit in anger won’t help.”

Pelosi is holding off on impeachment. We know he will not be removed by this senate. There needs to be enough evidence that can't be covered up or excused, that leaves no doubt of his corruption.

Think of the damage he will do when there is a failed impeachment, but we remove him by the vote. IMO an impeachment has to end with his removal from office. trump is really that vindictive.

If we vote him out along with enough of his supporters in the senate, perhaps those senators, having nothing to lose will vote to impeach the lame duck president.
