I'm stumped. "Launches mujeres"? Launches women? 😵
Haha, it was the nuke option, but swipe decided it was spanish, then I fat fingered the save and couldn't delete.

More I thought about it, it did seem plausible. Is fate trying to say something???? Lol
 
"Dies in office" covers non-covid fatalities

The bill for obesity, fast food diet, and fist fulls of steroids and antihistamines has to come due at some point.
That is not exactly what I meant....but we will leave it at that.....
 
Kind of thinking there should be a "leaves noisily on Jan 20th" option, with a side of "organizes a rally to protest the swearing-in"

And then we can take bets on whether he runs again for 2024. If he lives that long. Or maybe he just keeps holding rallies for that sweet sweet ego-fellation action.
Lol he'd be too poor to pay for these rallies. Unless he can sucker companies to foot the bill. He's stuck going on Faux News. I even see Twitter being more strick with his account since they won't fear any backlash by then.

we'll see how long they last if the camp followers have to pay to attend.
 
He'll fly to Russia on AF1 to "summit" with Putin Nov 4th or 5th. Resign, Pence becomes Prez, and pardons him.

federal charges.go bye bye.

State charges will be moot, Since Putin will refuse to extradite

I just hope we get the plane back.

I hope they dont paint it in that god awful color scheme.
 
Since Joe Biden is running for the Senate, Trump has no reason to leave.

Yea, good luck with that

and you know, its passages like this one that really warms the heart

"Republican voters may have taken to heart President Donald Trump’s repeated dire and unfounded warnings about faulty mail ballots, while Democrats ignored them. Bad weather, fears of catching COVID-19 and long, slow lines could further discourage GOP voters who wait for Election Day to head to the polls. "

You know that person Trump shoots on 5th avenue? Could it be a case of Russian Roulette?

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAhahahahahaahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahaahahahaha



hahaahahahahahahahahaha
 
ya forgot one, dragged out in a straitjacket raging like a lunatic

I'll file that under "forced out by security"

I'm down for the Julian Assange method. Going to need more guys than that tho to carry his fat ass.

If Trump loses, I suspect he'll bloviate a lot, and blame everyone but himself for the loss. He'll fire people left and right, pardon the right horrible people as fast as he can, but he'll leave gladly because he likely wants to go back to his lush private life with all his new connections and lease on life. I don't think he fears anyone going after him when he leaves office, I think he fears losing, but he's so tired of the 4 year barrage that he'll suck it up.

I do think he'll leave the leadership in a broken, depleted state, and Biden will spend two years rebuilding the basic infrastructure of what makes our system work before he can actually work on any of his policies.
 
Maybe he'll just hang around aimlessly throughout the next President's term, like some retired or fired guy who keeps finding pretexts to turn up at his former workplace because he's got nothing better to do?
 
The Apprentice is off the air after a change in main character.
Trump is subject the the will of others even if he doesn't like to admit it.
 
I'll just quote my prediction from 6/26:

Yeah haha, no way is that fuk giving up. Doing so would be admitting defeat, that he can't win. My prediction is, if he loses in November, he cries foul and causes a constitutional crisis, but leaves at the last minute because he doesn't want to be dragged out in front of cameras. Then claims he never really wanted a second term anyway, and by the way, he was cheated out of this thing he now claims he didn't want anyway. So unfair! And why was everyone so mean to him?

Then hopefully he goes to jail. Then dies from an untreated bowel obstruction.
My prediction which, contrary to my post above is that he is going to lose and then then leave office normally. The shit will happen in trying to prevent people from voting or having their vote counted. I think there are real world limits to how crazy he will be allowed to be.
 
This, he will bitch, whine, tweet endlessly.
The final cucking will be Pence is sworn in for moments, maybe 30 minutes to issue a pardon.

I don't really see Trump doing that. Trump will pardon himself, and will claim (rightfully so) that there is no rule against it. Trump has bought into the whole Alpha Male bull, quitting to let someone else pardon him would be admitting a weakness.

Not that it will matter. Biden is not going to pursue any federal charges against him. As soon as Biden is sworn in it is going to be 'bring our country together, leave the past behind and look to a new bipartisan future'. Biden is much too much of a status quo politician to want something as controversial as charging an ex-President with crimes committed while in office to define his first term, and lets face it if they put Donnie on trial for the federal crimes he committed while in office it will fill the news cycles for almost the entirety of Biden's first term.

Unfortunately this is true and is why presidents get away with murder (literally).

Also worth pointing out that IF the Biden administration went after Trump, Republicans would use it for the midterms.
Better to leave it to NY state and pass hard laws to prevent the federal crimes he commited from happening again.

Which won't stop NYS, nor does it address crimes committed prior to holding office, like pornstar payoffs & likely tax fraud. I seriously doubt that a self pardon would be allowed to stand simply because it would enable future presidents to do literally anything. It also violates the principles of natural law that underpin the Constitution-

 
Of course if he quits like a bitch so Pence can pardon him, the poetic justice would be if Pence died of COVID before he signed the pardon and President Pelosi is hospitalized by fits of laughter.

I am betting it will. Biden's main goal is to make Trump fade into history as fast as possible. The rhetoric is going to all be 'bring our country back together' and 'Trump lost he no longer matters'.
The fact is putting Trump on trial would go against one of the most dearly held tenets of our current Justice System: Rich and or famous people don't go to jail.

I understand that natural law pining's of the Constitution. I just also know that conservative Justices have a tendency to flip back an forth between Originalism and Strict constructionism as it suits their political agenda. If it was a Democrat that pardoned himself those conservative Justices would claim an Originalism argument against self pardon citing Natural Law. Since it will be Trump, they will cite a Strict Constructionism argument that no matter what the Founders meant, what they wrote does not prevent a President from pardoning himself. There is plenty of examples in the current courts opinions of them doing exactly this. Now that they will hold a solid majority expect to see it used regularly in the majority rulings.
