    Re: US Election 2020 Coverage Thread

    My secret sources, who happen to be Michigan journalists, tell me that the Michigan militia is under intense scrutiny for the sedition and planned future terrorist attacks.*





    *A note on sources during this rumor-laden time: I actually do have both friends and relatives who are journalists working for reputable local news organizations who have told me this. Even so, I recommend you take all unsourced information with several grains of salt.

    You can decide how many grains of salt you need for my statement based on my history with you all over the years.
    Every moment of a life is a horrible tragedy, a slapstick comedy, dark nihilism, golden illumination, or nothing at all; depending on how we write the story we tell ourselves.

        Random shiny (but related) moment, did anyone else read through this book when it came out in 2019? I took that read with a heaping grain(s) of salt but I think it's worth a re-read at this point.

            Okay so I've been giving this some thought. If onna y'all don't mind, and you can make it to your embassy in time, there's basically no way that your country will side with Trump over you
            For legal reasons this is a joke.

              hah. there's a travel ban, and no way are any of us non americans (ok. I can't speak for everyone, I know) going INTO the chaos over there xD you're on your own here.

                Yeah...

                I wouldn't come to the U.S. for a while.

                I live in a red neck stronghold, and I had an enormous Biden/Harris sign out front. I'm kinda scared. I've never felt the need to have a weapon for self defence, but currently I have made rifles and ammo accessible if I need it.

                I sincerely hope this is over reaction and I'll feel stupid later, but...




                (violence is unacceptable and repulsive, but, if it might be used against me, not being prepared would be silly. I do not advocate or want violence. I will not, however, pretend that a clear and present danger does not exist)

                  Not shocking, law enforcement is on a war path right now and the FBI warnings about right wing domestic terrorism are being looked at again. Also, that whole plot from a couple months back to kidnap your governor has likely made this very personal on a state level. Militia in Michigan should at this point take a long moment and re-evaluate their life choices. LARPing in the wilderness is not an adequate preparation for handling a justifiably furious federal government.

                    Turtle Boy ok'd impeachment vote.

                    I'd like to imagine he grew a spine, suddenly, but it may be more related to a halt on donations to Republicans.

                      I'm hoping that Mitch goes for full on vendetta at the moment. He doesn't like Trump and he was in the Capitol when it was stormed. If he's decided that punishing Trump is a worthy pursuit for what may be his last term (he'll be 84 when this term ends, barring plans to live forever or retire feet first, he may choose not to run again) then I will be deeply amused.

                        My suspiciousing suggests that Pence was angry enough to NOT arrange a #25, forcing impeachment.

                        My pardon pool day for self pardon is Sunday.

                        Normally, I'd figure that was a good bet, but now that The Accursed One is off Twitter he might have to wait till Monday.

                        He may be stupid enough to imagine that if he pardons himself he can't be impeached and convicted.

                          If he manages to get away with a self pardon then he should spend less time worrying about impeachment and more thanking Heaven for far more mercy than he deserves. Well that or he should put together a strategy to fend off New York when it comes for him because he can't pardon state crimes. That said, while Pence pardoning him would likely work, a literal self pardon may just get itself laughed out of the courts. The judicial system is rather fond of the premise that one cannot be a judge in their own trial and a president trying to put himself above federal law is liable to piss off every judge that sees it.
