Except that a goodly percentage of the Republican party are willing to burn democracy for the sake of overturning the election to please this fucking lunatic and appease his shithead supporters. This is no longer performative, it's flat out sedition and if it was occurring in the third world we'd be screaming "failed state".Fangle wrote: ↑Mon Jan 04, 2021 7:28 pm Trump is really shooting himself in the foot in the Republican party. I think he had a chance of running again in 2024, but he is alienating himself from so many that his support must be dwindling. And he, like so many of these contenders, is far too old. It’s impossible, but I would like an upper age limit for a person going for his first term at under 70.

Not all of it. There’s plenty in there that reeks of “let’s get together and do a dodgy deal”Uncle fester wrote: ↑Mon Jan 04, 2021 9:08 pmIt's word salad.TB63 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 04, 2021 7:44 pm https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2021/01/03/poli ... ssion=true

Imagine having to work with that loon every day. He’s a complete fucking arsehole. No chance I would have been as polite as German either.

Rally size for the win. And if we're being honest okay Obama thrashed Trump in inaugural crowds, but Trump is almost certainly going to thrash Biden by a bigger multiple

I agree that it is looking increasingly hard to see a path for Trump to run in 2024 and I like the idea of upper age limits on candidates.Fangle wrote: ↑Mon Jan 04, 2021 7:28 pm Trump is really shooting himself in the foot in the Republican party.

A cow, ideally one name Mum. Though whether a denial of reality constitutes a defence I don't know, the only people that might work on didn't need to have Trump defended

The Medal Of Udder ....... shite
Our old mate JJ (or Jim Jordan as he's otherwise know) also got the same gong. Standing up to those despicable Dems for Big Brother through hell and high water, through truth and fantasy, ignoring all violations of ethics or moral confliction, because you know, it was for the Don, and anything goes for THE DON.
For both Monday and Tuesday of this week a summary of Donald Trump’s official schedule as released by the White House reads: “President Trump will work from early in the morning until late in the evening. He will make many calls and have many meetings.”
Donald Trump will not be allowed to visit Scotland to play golf during Joe Biden's inauguration, Nicola Sturgeon has said.
The US president, who was overwhelmingly defeated in November's election, is reportedly considering travelling to his Turnberry golf resort to avoid Mr Biden being sworn into office.
But Scotland's first minister stressed it is illegal to travel in or out of the country without a valid reason and said: "Coming to play golf is not what I would consider to be an essential purpose."
Asked about speculation that Mr Trump could travel to Scotland in order to avoid the inauguration, Ms Sturgeon said: "I have no idea what Donald Trump's travel plans are, you'll be glad to know.
I hope and expect that – as everybody expects, not everybody necessarily will hope – that the travel plan immediately that he has is to exit the White House.

It's Air Force 2 that's scheduled for Prestwick by all accounts. Air Force 1 is made available to the outgoing president traditionally, so I don't think it's him anyway.
Maybe flying evidence out of the country? Or he found Lincoln's Gold and is getting out before anyone else stakes a claim?

The losers options on housing are getting increasingly narrow:
- Florida residents point out that the deal he signed prohibits him living there.
- Scotland just said no.
- Ireland will say the same as Scotland
- NewYorkers loath him; & that probably goes equally with New Jersey.
I think he has a vineyard somewhere on the east coast; there's no golf course.
Where else apart from Moscow is the cunt going to be welcomed ?

There's 2 VC-25As (747-200) and 4 C-32s (757-200) in the presidential fleet. 1 of the -25As is traditionally used for the outgoing president, and the VP has the offer of one of the -32s. So there's plenty still to go round, especially as the rest of the fleet won't really be in demand that dayfishfoodie wrote: ↑Tue Jan 05, 2021 6:34 pmShows how shitty the vp job is; you don't even get the other plane; they probably will give Pence cab fare.Biffer wrote: ↑Tue Jan 05, 2021 6:30 pm It's Air Force 2 that's scheduled for Prestwick by all accounts.

There's the chance then to grow the brand, or as long as they let him cheat and claim he's not a shit golfer that'd probably doWoddy wrote: ↑Tue Jan 05, 2021 9:14 pmHe only plays on his own courses.

There's also the slight problem that besides golf, his only hobby is perving on teenage blondes; & the opportunities to do that in Saudi are limited .... & then there's his jewish daughter & SiL ....Rhubarb & Custard wrote: ↑Tue Jan 05, 2021 9:16 pmThere's the chance then to grow the brand, or as long as they let him cheat and claim he's not a shit golfer that'd probably do

Failed state latest.
Welp.
Republican majority of the Pennsylvania State Senate just removed @JohnFetterman from the chamber. President Pro Temp Corman is presiding instead. Fetterman refused to recognize a motion that would have prevented a duly elected Democratic senator from being sworn in. https://t.co/BOFe1kRMfe

The racist scumbags ability to cause trouble in DC will be much less than in their home States. DC has very strict gun laws; & anyone thinking they can just drive in & bring in their AR-14 is going to end up in a world of hurt.
Given that security over inauguration day is super strict anyway; the idea that the cops are going to stand by & let these shit birds cause trouble is laughable. They'll round them up, put them in the can, & when they come out, a week later; because whats the rush; their arseholes will be three sizes larger, & they'll have a whole different view of how the justice system works; they might even have a deeper understanding of the BLM perspective.

Well if she flouts the law; I expect someone to call 9-1-1 & report her, & the police to tell her to obey the law, or be arrested; & if she is charged; I would expect her to be impeached.TB63 wrote: ↑Tue Jan 05, 2021 10:45 pmfishfoodie wrote: ↑Tue Jan 05, 2021 10:33 pmThe racist scumbags ability to cause trouble in DC will be much less than in their home States.

A 757 or a 32? It sounds silly, but despite the airframe being the same they are identified differenty to the airport. If it's a 757 then that's Trump personal jet, not a C-32 (aka AF2, although if Trump is onboard before Biden's inauguration it will be AF1)
If it is Trump's plane then it will presumably Executive 1

So, if there's a passenger then it's potentially Jarod/Ivanka, Pence, Melania, or Donald. That's about it. Donald would be on a VC-25 for that trip as the runway isn't restricted, so the SS wouldn't permit otherwise. Other than that, I can't think of a reason for it being there, there aren't any other 757 variants in the USAF, it's just the presidential air wingBiffer wrote: ↑Wed Jan 06, 2021 12:45 amReports are they've been told to expect a US Military 757, so presumably that's a C32Saint wrote: ↑Tue Jan 05, 2021 11:47 pm

the way the georgia runoff is going it looks like 1/1 to each party and very likely a Republican leaning senate which means same old same old for America when Biden takes over..Biden will make promises but would not be able to deliver as the Retardlican led senate will stop him fro getting things done.

Yep, looks like Warnock's beaten Loeffler.
