They will back down from that position the second he does something bannable. Dorsey has no spine.

Pentagon has delayed Biden transition briefings. Trump had almost nothing on his schedule today except for meeting with his newly appointed official at the recently gutted Pentagon and then they announced this. Is it possible shenanigans to implement martial law so Trump can stay in power? Pretty suspicious.

This crowd: "Trump doesn't start wars abroad"

Meanwhile in America, "Martial law over an election I lost!"

There's also the entire Russian hack that the whitehouse is completely silent about. They breached the Treasury, commerce and nuclear authority. Coincidence all of this is happening as Trump is being kicked out? Also, why isn't this considered an act of war, they're literally attacking systems meant to rob you, break your economy and blow you up but I'm sure Trump spoke with Putin and it's totally cool cause Putin said so right?

Drumpf told Putin to knock it off. That'll do it.

I highly doubt he'd have the balls to say that to Putin.

Two Trump supporters die and go to heaven. God meets them at the pearly gates and asks if they have any questions. One of them says, “Yes, what were the real results of the 2020 election and who was behind the fraud?”

God says, "My son, there was no fraud. Biden won the electoral college fair and square, 306 to 232.”

After a few seconds of stunned silence, the one guy turns to the other and whispers, “This goes higher up than we thought.”

Is it even worth the hassle? He’ll be gone in a couple weeks anyways.

On the other hand, it should set a precedence for future crooked politicians if we don’t seek impeachment. It should probably be done...

This guy needs to be made an example of or we will be at risk of losing our democracy again in a few years.

Yes, it seems pointless but we must hold to account. Without the account, there is no rule of law. I support impeachment.

Capitol being stormed by confederates as we speak.

Kind of disappointing to see that after all the pepper spray target practice the DC police had back in may, they're not putting that to good use now.

Disappointing. Not unexpected.

FWIW Drumpf resisted efforts by his aides to send in the National Guard earlier today. That could have helped a lot. But yeah, even the Bureau of Corrections got in on the action during the more darker-skinned protests.

Anyone else find it worrisome that the most impactful backlash Drumpf has faced for his part in the insurrection that took place today was that his Twitter and Facebook accounts were suspended for a day?

I have a question about the US president pardoning people. Trump has pardoned a few rather controversial people, but he's not the first to do this.

Why is this even allowed? These pardons to straight against the idea of the separation of powers. It's unfathomable that something similar would happen here. Why does everyone seem to be ok with the idea of the president being able to just pardon anyone, no matter what the crime?

He shouldn't be able to. And a lot of the founding fathers thought so, too.

Also it's limited to federal crimes, not state crimes.

I asked this in this thread a little while back and no real answers. For the rest of the world it seems so bizarre for anyone to completely circumvent the justice system. I can only conclude that it doesn’t make sense to most sensible Americans either since it seems mostly used by a president and his buddies to cover each other’s asses.

I don't think it's bizarre.

It's simply shows that the US is one "shithole country"/"banana republic" among many others.

(My full answer would be more balanced and especially include a critique of the colonialist perspective implicit in using such a frame of reference, but for the sake of brevity, I'll leave it as is.)
