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

Wildo!

there are a lot of music videos on this thread right now

It does work.

FBI/AG guy talking now about all the cases we know about from social media, vs. all sorts of serious stuff they are currently pursuing that fewer know about, including reportedly serious charges of sedition and conspiracy and weapons.

🐦[from Reuters:

“Secretary of State Mike Pompeo cancelled his Europe trip at the last minute on Tuesday after Luxembourg’s foreign minister and top European Union officials declined to meet him, European diplomats and other people familiar with the matter said”

Lol when the Luxembourgish are declining your meeting request...

haha, it's ok JR&theB! not a big deal!

and has joe biden considered THIS yet?!!?

President Donald Trump speaking now: "The 25th Amendment is of zero risk to me but will come back to haunt Joe Biden and the Biden administration. As the saying goes, be careful what you wish for."

AG/FBI guy just indicated that in some instances tear gas was used *on* the capital police. They seem to be taking it seriously, or at least will be for the week or so until they're replaced by hopefully better people.

“We’re going to project. We’re going to project so much. We’re going to project at trade, we’re going to project at the border. We’re going to project so much, you’re going to be so sick and tired of projecting, you’re going to come to me and go ‘Please, please, we can’t project anymore.’ You’ve heard this one. You’ll say ‘Please, Mr. President, we beg you sir, we don’t want to project anymore. It’s too much. It’s not fair to everybody else.' And I’m going to say ‘I’m sorry, but we’re going to keep projecting, projecting, projecting, We’re going to make America great again."

Dont worry about Luxembourg lads

The "fewer know about" aspect is interesting. Post-9/11, struck by how the Space Needle looks like an inviting target, and how nothing's happened there. Assume, like the Port Angeles ferry arrest of potential bOmbers, there are unmentioned thwarted attempts. Or it's just a sign of unwarranted fear in a fear-happy culture.

I wonder to what degree the FBI de-emphasizing right-wing terrorism and militias as a priority during the Trump years plays into all of this. If they'd been paying more attention they'd maybe already know who all these people are.

Of course they were too busy chasing antifa.

What's Trump's point about the 25th? It's been on the books for 50 years. It could have been used at any time (and in fact was also floated during Reagan's second term). Given that it's invoked by the president's own appointees, rather than the opposition party, why would raising the possibility of using it now make it any likelier that it would be used against Biden?

I mean it's easy to forget but many were expecting a lot more high profile attacks after 9/11. obviously other things DID happen (attempted shoe bombing, anthrax, Beltway sniper), some which may not have actually been related, but week after week, we'd hear from intelligence that there was a 100% chance of an attack in coming weeks and that the body counts could be high, and they never materialized.

that was largely in part to many of these plots being proactively snuffed rather than "not materializing" but I'm just hoping things can get even somewhat under control. I don't have a great feeling - think we'll see small domestic terror incidents for a while that are going to keep intelligence and federal bodies busy. I hope I'm wrong.

Projection.

literally the only thing Trump knows about the 25th is that it's invoked when a president is considered incompetent. I don't think he has any clue who kicks it off or votes on it.

:D

xpost - Projection. And starting a new rallying cry so we get to listen to his sycophants screech about Biden needing the 25th from the second he's sworn in.

Projection.

yep

yeah, well what's REALLY going to happen is sleepy joe biden is going to go to jail for wanting to have sex with his daughter , and because of his pee tape!

I hadn't considered the possibility that Pence would use the 25th against Biden. Guess Congress should back off.

and BIDEN's the one who keeps his closest secrets in a safe deposit box in Newark!

Which is why Congress is voting to impeach Biden this week!

...god, sleepy joe can't even hold a pga tournament anymore...

Lol, KM.

Just saw someone suggest that Trump is referencing a Q theory that Democrats are going to use the 25th against Biden once he's in office so as to install Kamala as president.

honestly wouldn't give a shit if they did

Oh yeah that's been gospel on the right for months.

Break break break the cat is out of the pigeon the eagle is landing vover blown break break break

trump doesn't usually reference q stuff, though, right? he seems genuinely ignorant about it other than he is somehow involved and "they" like him

he hears things

The funny thing is that I'm sure Kamala wouldn't actually govern all that differently. But she's a Black woman, so she is obviously a Radical Leftist who's looking to usher in communism.

btw during my last convo with my mom a couple months back, she brought up the kamala harris thing too. her theory was that biden was obviously old and senile (which is why i was often rude to ilxors who suggested he was senile, back then) to hold office, and the plan was for him to step down sometime in 2021

But she's a Black woman, so she is obviously a Radical Leftist who's looking to usher in communism.

yeah I'm kind of surprised the whole "she's the most radical Senator on the left" thing never got more pushback

xp jaymc yeah exactly, i argued with her for a while about just how dumb the whole thing was, but then i asked her what the problem would be with harris and why it would be a huge secret plan to get her to be president. she had no answer at all

I don’t think Biden will serve a full term. My prediction is that he hands over the reins in early 2023.

suddenly i have the urge to look at predictit

1) Who the fuck cares what Trump says about anything.

2) He's so stupid, the last he was talking about the 25th was a conspiracy theory that the Deep State who whomever the fuck would declare Biden incapable under the 25th the make Harris president. And you thought *Biden* was a radically leftist, man ...

Anyway, who the fuck cares about Trump, he can eat shit.

Probably an xpost, thread moves fast.

I've always assumed it's gonna be George Soros calling the shots anyway, right?

If by "shots" you mean vaccines, yes, his mind-control microchip is in them. (courtesy of Bill Gates)

Biden won’t hand over the reins. He finishes his term or dies in office.

it's a double bind, she's either a corporate police state goon or a radical communist or, magically, both

or, magically, both

you bet your ass it's magically both

Biden won’t hand over the reins. He finishes his term or dies in office.

This is kinda where I am. Even if he effectively becomes unable to govern, this won't be made public and he'll serve out his term bar any serious illness or incapacitation.
