ultimatum

well they know he fucking won't so get on with it

they've been saying that for 36 hours.

my boss: i have a project for you. it will take half a day. if you don't do it, the company goes out of business.

me: sure, i'll take a look at that next wednesday.

he won't even take their call ffs

they've got republican senators waiting!

Senator Ben Sasse, Republican of Nebraska, a frequent critic of Mr. Trump, said he would “definitely consider whatever articles they might move, because I believe the president has disregarded his oath of office.”

I love adverbs!

if i were an insane racist republican, i would absolutely vote for impeachment of trump if only to get him off the 2024 ballot.

"Have you seen our voters? I don't want to be hunted for the rest of my life, impeach away."

How exactly is that "BREAKING"?

Everything in this country is slowly breaking

broken, as in record

Can they impeach on zoom? That could be fun.

sorry copied the wrong tweet you picky ass mfers

what was that about nothing happening in D.C. for the inauguration?

Grrrrreat.

being that the dude who posted that has already been IDed by Snopes, I am expecting he'll get a visit from the FBI real soon.

also, the groups he runs on FB have memberships in the hundreds only lol

me reaping: what the fuck?!

Art Newly's thugs are out in full force

muh civility

it wld suck if some aggrieved magas were to kill a republican senator from a state with a democrat governor

best thing to do = pretend Inauguration is going on outside as per usual, let these idiots gather and then do the inauguration at a remote location, and then let the military ask them what they're gonna do.

Gettin down to the nut cuttin already, he’s not going to block checks.

FWIW: Manchin's spokesperson tells me he isn't drawing a red line against $2K checks, that he's open to hearing Biden admin's case for new payments but believes vaccine distribution should be a higher priority; he does prefer relief that's targeted to those who've lost their job. https://t.co/FRRrYRYUZD

lol

tbh someone should very literally cut his nuts

Trump pretty much gave up even pretending to be a president in like October, didn’t he?

using the word "terrorism" is bad, full stop, use better words

full agreement here, but you're in for an uphill battle. first, the whole "terrorism" narrative is burned into the brains of the entire western world from infinite repetition and second, the simple stupid fact that "terror" is shorter, easier to say and write, and punchier than "insurrection" or "insurgency". sucks.

i'm not going to worry anymore about Inauguration shenanigans, not because I'm not fearful, but because I'd rather have 11 days of mental peace first in case life as we know it is forever ruined on the 20th.

but tbh i am fairly sure military/other federal troops will be out en masse, no "MIA" Guard like last week. but y'know, maybe I shouldn't make predictions anymore, cos the 6th took me by complete shock. not the attempt, but how futile the defense was.

those people going in on Graham are being allowed to leave DC on an airplane after passing through TSA how and why precisely?

sort of appreciating the fact that we don't go anywhere right now only because i wouldn't trust myself not getting into some trouble if i found myself around these people irl atm

There's plenty of bad shit going on in my town (we have an ICE detention center) but I have never seen a single red hat or a single asshole wheeze-bellowing about how he/she doesn't have to wear a mask in Dollar General and I am very happy about that.

going in on graham is legal

what about the high likelihood of previous seditious acts part

fwiw democrats absolutely do not cut nuts pelosi shumer et al are reelected in perpetuity specifically because they let their members do what they want, a crucial point to understanding democratic politics, if manchin is playing ball its only cause he feels like it, and its not like the dem leadership even has any great passion for these checks, they were happy to drop the whole thing until the left wing started making noise, and if i may be so bold as to cast aspersions upon the dems great victory they wouldve done a lot better had they run hard on cutting the checks in the first place, gotta think it contributed to the narrow georgia victory

sad lol xp

I was trying to think of a way to say that even that cheap irony was a symptom of the debased wit of the hell timeline, but haven't been able to do so satistfactorily.

https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/columnists/for-tens-of-thousands-trump-was-just-something-to-believe-in?

So much brokenness here.

Really curious how all this lunacy will be covered in history books, and how much space it will ultimately take up. Like, high school history books.

shame you can't retract those rep votes now that they're all traitors like innit.

Multixp

Lolled at the headline, but it’s a sobering read. Feel for the brother in law losing her to RW brainworms and helpless to do anything.

I didn’t know the details about how the cop died and I kind of wish I didn’t now.

Will there be history books in the future? Will there be a future? Sorry for the negativity, maybe should take it to another thread.

d if i may be so bold as to cast aspersions upon the dems great victory they wouldve done a lot better had they run hard on cutting the checks in the first place, gotta think it contributed to the narrow georgia victory

You're right: they would've gotten three senators elected in Georgia.

obvs talking about the generally election there alfred cmon lets be serious for one second
