Ding Dong.....the US Politics Thread (Part 1)

Just on impeachment…

There doesn’t need to be an outcome before 20 Jan, is that correct?

He can be impeached whilst President and the trial can continue afterwards I thought…read it somewhere the other day, and I thought one of you, my learned brethren, would know the answer.

Watching the vote now…

Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee…

Mother Pence asks after each state’s votes are read out if there are any objections… :grimacing:

Texas…Vermont…

I really do wonder what Donald is feeling right now…

He will be watching but unable to Tweet. Hilarious that man in his 70s and in charge of the world’s largest military will right now be feeling like a 13 year old boy whose phone got confiscated after mummy caught him wanking to Girls Gone Wild.

If the US electoral system wasn’t so damn complex, allowing Trump to remain in office for a further two months, he wouldn’t have had the opportunity to cause the mayhem which occurred yesterday. He should have been out on his ass, the day after the election.

WISCONSIN OBJECTION!!!

Fucking cunts.

On it goes…

You may well joke, but this psychopath still controls the nuclear launch codes, doesn’t he?

This is fucking unbelievable!!!

‘We object along with another senator who has now withdrawn his objection.’

‘It is not signed either.’

I HONESTLY CANNOT BELIEVE WHAT I AM SEEING.

It was dark humour, and yeah…saw a Tweet earlier…‘The man in charge of the nuclear codes is not allowed to have a Twitter account.’

There was a long debate on Pennsylvania

Yeah…I think it was Gohmert who stood up…

He spouted conspiracy theories for 2mins, said that someone who objected had withdrawn their objection, and then said he didn’t have the necessary signatures anyway…so dealt with in less than 5mins.

Pure theatre designed to make Donald feel all tingly in his nutsack.

And yet Trump is still in office for a further 2 weeks! Unbelievable.

It is indeed.

Who knows what the fuck he will get up to. Twitter will turn him back on in a few hours, but have said if he breaks the rules one more time he is gone permanently. I shudder to think how he would vent if he had to spend ten days or so without his phone.

Yeah. There should be some serious thoughts on how to make the two months less consequential and disruptive.

The prick is lucky he wasn’t shot!

Trump has apparently just announced that he will facilitate an orderly handover on the twentieth.

Just reported on the BBC.

Edit: now on the BBC website

Seeing is believing.

This is guy is even worse than the lot we have here.

Even though I totally disagree with the outcome of the election, and the facts bear me out, nevertheless there will be an orderly transition on January 20th. I have always said we would continue our fight to ensure that only legal votes were counted. While this represents the end of the greatest first term in presidential history, it’s only the beginning of our fight to Make America Great Again!

Well…he definitely wrote it…
