kentuck's JournalWhy the Supreme Court will throw Trump out on his ear?
Because, if they were to do otherwise, they would destroy their own legitimacy. They would no longer be a credible "court". They would be an operative of an autocrat, rather than a democracy.
They would cease to exist. It's as simple as that.
Trump may have thought he had it all figured out? He appointed "his" own Justices, along with the partisans already on the Court, and they would rule for him when the time came?
Well, the time is here.
The Supreme Court will end this effort to overthrow an election.
Trump and the seditious Republicans will be dumped in the trash can.
If Trump is not charged with any Federal crimes, he will escape any state charges?
We hear a lot about NY's AG and the SDNY and how they will make life a living hell for Donald Trump when he is out of office.
I am not convinced that will happen.
He committed his crimes in NYC for the last 40 years and contributed to every politician that came along and never was charged with anything. He did not start committing crimes once he became the president. He has been committing crimes forever.
So, if the new Attorney-General and the FBI refuse to investigate and prosecute, the Trump Family will escape all legal scrutiny, in my opinion.
From what we are experiencing as a nation, at this very moment, he should be prosecuted. What charges??
You name it.
106 names that will live in infamy.
Write them down.
I am almost certain they will not look so good two years from now when they are running for re-election.
Trump wanted someone to show "courage". They are showing "chicken shittage". Selling out their country for a two-bit con artist, fearful of a tweet.
They have sold out their country.
Many people register to vote when they get their driver's licenses...
...or when they get them renewed.
That is their identification. They have signed their driver's license and stood in front of a camera to get their photo taken.
Now, Republicans are challenging those signatures when they go to vote. They say they don't match and that many are illegal.
How much more bureaucracy should the government require from a person before they can cast a vote?
I thought the Republicans were "anti-government"?
Voters do not get a ballot unless they have been registered to vote. It is just another anti-democratic ploy by the Republican Party.
Voters do not need to be further harassed before they can vote.
He's making a list - checking it twice
Gonna find out who's naughty or nice?
Donald Quixote wants a list. He's calling all the State Attorneys-General to get them to join him in his suit before the US Supreme Court. If they cannot join him, he is warning them not to go against him.
He wants to unite the Republicans in his war against the windmills. His purpose is to divide the nation into Democrats vs Republicans. It's a foolish and deadly game that he plays.
He believes that if he can get a united Republican Party before the Supreme Court, they will have no choice but to go along with their Party. The pressure will be too great for them to ignore. He wishes for them to believe that half the country is behind his efforts to overturn the last election, which saw him soundly defeated by the American people.
Hopefully, the Court will dismiss his folly with another one-sentence ruling?
Could 17 State AGs persuade the Supreme Court to rule against Biden?
...and the voters of this country?
It appears they may get the chance?
I suppose Ted Cruz will be leading them in their argument?
How much pressure can they put on the Court?
History will show...
...that Donald Trump was impeached by a Democratic House of Representatives and the Republican Senate thought so little of it that they simply refused to allow any witnesses to testify.
For those reading the future history books, it will look as if the impeachment was nothing but a trivial partisan affair and Donald Trump never broke any laws.
Bill Clinton will look more like a criminal, in the history books, than Donald Trump.
Even though we know that he is a scofflaw that should be under the jail.
Trump has a legal right to take every legal recourse to make sure the votes are counted accurately.
How many times have we heard that?
And nobody argues with that.
But, he does not have a right to try and bribe election officials or to threaten elected representatives of the people or to attempt election fraud.
What he is doing is criminal. There is no question about it. The only issue is that no one will hold him accountable.
If we had a Justice Department worth its salt, they would issue a restraining order against him and enforce it with a huge fine if necessary. They could also issue a restraining order on Twitter if they continue to permit tweets that are false and inflame angry voters. They should not publish the tweets of the President of the United States if he continues to flaunt and break the rules.
Otherwise, he is above the law.
The future of the Trump Party?
The future depends on the premise that the election of 2020 was "rigged".
So long as Donald Trump can convince the majority of Republicans that he was "robbed" of the election and that he was the true winner, then he will maintain control of the Party.
There is no reason to believe that the present incumbents will disavow their anointed leader, so long as he can convince them that the lies to their "base" is working.
At least half of the Republican Party supports Trump for political expediency, not out of any deep loyalty. The other half would die for him.
Donald Trump is on a power trip to save himself, both physically and financially. He needs the Republicans more than they need him.
The present Republican office holders are hostages to the whims of the dictator wanna-be. One little tweet can destroy their careers. They have shown that their willingness to grovel to Donald Trump is more important than saving our democracy. They have disgraced themselves in the eyes of most Americans.
Joe Biden is most likely to be sworn in as the 46th President on January 20th of 2021 and Donald Trump will move his campaign operations to his Mar-a-Lago mansion, where he will entertain important Republican leaders, as well as foreign business operatives.
Will the Republican Party ever escape from the clutches of their beloved autocrat? They are prisoners of their own making.
TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome)
It seems to have an entirely new meaning now?
It has materialized into something very real.
