And Sleepy Joe Will Get The Credit: US Politics January 2021

He's going to be able to sell MAGA steaks and get campaign donations until his dying day.

MAGA steaks come from cows with High-T and that were treated with hydroxycloroquin, FYI.

It’s a better joke if he’s processing his followers into food

The story I saw a couple of days ago - and no idea if this was accurate - was that one of those barriers was opened and some of those protestors were let in because they were reportedly on the guest lists of some of the congressional assholes.

"Excuse me officer, I'm on the guest list."
"OK, just climb through that window over there."

will be interesting to see what his post presidency popularity is like, not being president isnt nearly as compelling as being president

I mean hell, had they impeached him in January there is a strong chance they would have held onto the Presidency. Stupid fucking morons cut off their noses to spite their faces at the expense of the rest of the country and anyone with half a brain can see it, even if that half is diseased with QAnon bullshit.

I disagree with this - if the GOP voted to remove him it's more likely Biden would have won 400+ EVs. I can't think of anything more likely to depress Republican turnout than removing their most popular figure and replacing him with fucking Mike Pence.

I'm going to guess his popularity is somewhere between 40-45%.

counterpoint: for many of these ppl he will always be President

jfc Snapchat indefinitely suspended Trump, but Jack can't wait to bury his lips in Trump's ass. I really don't get it. ffs even Zuckerberg finally wised up.

yeah, also worth noting that there are a million things the republicans couldve done to hold on to the presidency, because they came really close to doing so literally lost by ~50k votes across 3 states, different weather mightve done the trick and sending out a few more checks definitely would have

I still see the seven MAGA holdouts on my morning walk.

i think the more psycho people Q et al will prob move on and hell be left with the sleepier olds watching his fox show or whatever and they nap toward death together

i think people are underestimating how unattractive losing and being rendered powerless is in this case

So how will Parler spin Trump saying he's not going to Inauguration

fascism is all about the will to power punishing you enemies and so forth, just whining on tv isnt the stuff, having said that im sure he will have a higher public profile than any other ex president just via actively trying to

When Joe Biden is sworn into office on the 20th and it's apparent that there was no master plan after all I think a lot of the Q psychos will turn on him - I mean it's already happening, he basically threw all them under the bus last night. the question is whether or not they'll continue to vote Republican or become those 3rd Party libertarian weirdos

also even if they dont feel betrayed he just doesnt do Q and whatever other people who want to chop off heads any good because he doesnt have any power

having said that im sure he will have a higher public profile than any other ex president just via actively trying to

on OANN? even FOX news is turning against him. he'll be banned from most social media sites and will have zero interest in helping any Republicans get elected. it's hard to overstate just how badly he fucked this up.

slightly bummed i don't get to see a sad Trump ride away in Marine One for the last time.

he'll be banned from most social media sites

I guess "most" might be accurate, but he clearly is never going away from Twitter.

They’re going to ban him permanently from twitter on Inauguration Day according to people I know who work at twitter fwiw.

Purely cynically he’s probably done all he can in terms of driving traffic to the platform and it reaches a point where his presence becomes a problem for advertisers and employee recruitment/retention.

i still think his best bet is making nice with fox, it makes too much sense for both of them, hed easily have a huge show, hed prob do well on oann too but fox is still the gold standard they know how to do it right

and Sleepy Joe will get the credit!

My fear is that this is cute language that they are going to permanently lock him out of the @potus account he never uses, but his personal one will stay.

lol they lost the presidency, The House and the Senate. Good job you're rehired

this is like an alternate reality where Adam Gase got a contract extension

idk they did pretty well all things considered, gained house seats while catastrophically mismanaging one of the biggest disasters in the countrys history, bizarre madman for president

c'mon Gase was 2 wins away from accomplishing exactly what he was hired for

Xpost tbf Jon, you can't just waive the impeach wand and get everybody in the House to participate at the drop of a hat. Middle of next week is a relatively fast start for impeachment proceedings compared to the norm.

excuse me? are they busy with something more important?

republicans paid more of a price for katrina than covid

I mean who else would want Ronna McDaniel's job right now

xxpost they've already begun drafting the articles, chill tf out dude

i am more worried rn about what shenanigans are gonna happen on the 19th and 20th and if we're going to have the Keystone Kops on the lawn that day

that's one take, OTOH 74M people voted for Trump...

xpost - Right, but that's also another reason to expedite something. Seeing some actual consequences immediately might serve to tamp down some of the shit that might happen on those days.

do the inauguration on Zoom who cares

Trump conceding the election and telling his supporters to back off (even if it did look like a hostage video) is probably going to keep a lot of them away. what exactly is their goal now?

139 House Reps and 8 Senators STILL voted against certifying Biden. If it was just those 2000 idiots that'd be bad enough, but they've got enough powerful supporters, true believers, and straight-up cowards on their side. Beer Hall Putsch indeed...

suspect it would be pretty tough for them to pull off another exercise in unpreparedness at this point, plus the inauguration im guessing is run differently than your standard event

One thing is for sure: he will be flaunting his inauguration crowd size to Biden's until death's final rattle.

It should be noted, simply, that inaugurations can also happen indoors -- there's long been precedent for that due to the weather, Reagan's second was held under the Rotunda. So if security demands something similar, there you go. (The flipside is the risk of COVID but there you are.)

I don't think it will be a traditional one either, but if we've learned anything from these last four years (boat armadas, pickup parades, endless rallies, etc etc) is that these dipshits can't get enough of gathering in large groups to show off who has the most Trump merch so I don't think his hostage video is enough to stop them from gathering in D.C. anyway.

Also: Congress can impeach a president after his term expires.

yeah theyre dangerous and need to be dealt with before they figure out how to do things in not the most idiotic way possible
