US election 2020 thread

[littlebabyjesus]

I don't actually think any of them will put themselves forward, but I do think some Trump wannabe will, and will get the nomination.

The point I would make, though, is that the story doesn't come to a sudden halt because some Republican grey suits decide enough is enough. If that was how it worked, Trump would never have happened in the first place.

Nobody thinks the story has come to a sudden halt!

K, we won today therefore no more battles.

Who thinks that? Nobody. But it's worth having a beer and a cheer about.

Lads, nobody ever has the slightest idea who wins the nomination until we're about four caucuses/primaries deep. It's never who you think it'll be either, especially four years out

 

[littlebabyjesus]

You really think anarchists and communists should celebrate a new liberal US president? That's bizarre. Yes, I'm pleased the orange cunt has been fucked off, but I won't be celebrating the election of another "leader of the free world".

Just celebrate the orange cunt being fucked off, then.

It just means that more other people will die. Do you have a racial preference for dead people?

Orange ones

Madder , I think

The man who stood as a dignified figure when the twin towers fell, now operating some sham legal outfit out of a garden centre.

A couple of Fox News anchors will try their luck I reckon

Mike Pence has been conspicuous by his absence the last few days.
Escaped Berlin before the fall while Trump fiddles in his (sand) bunker.

Let's be honest, they're only ever going to be pale imitations of The Don. Absolute god-tier Twitter shitposter and nobody will ever measure up. Try something new guys

 

[Lorca]

Fuck this. Not wasting time with this nonsense. You people are stupid twats.

 

[Steel Icarus]

God the lengths some Americans will go to to justify carrying large guns in the street

I was originally responding to the view that Trump couldn't stand in 2024 because

even a lot of high up Republicans will come to see him as a loon

And making the point that this would neither be new nor relevant to who the Republicans might nominate in future.

You definitely have my permission to get ratarsed, but that's OT.

I get it but celebrate the cunt being kicked out?

Worried about the big groups together , but its so noticeable that its happy time , with no one shouting abuse at others

The most likely, and, sadly, best option for a Republican return to office in 2024? One Donald Trump.

If he can stay relevant and his base doesn't wither away he could be back.

SAD!

Not from prison he won't

They might have to keep giving him four more years, though.

He was missing the last time the orange twat waffled on. His name was also missing off the Trump signs when Rudy was having a breakdown earlier?

Pence is odious but also a little shrewd as well perhaps? Career politician.

Giuliani finding out the election had been called while standing in a car park next to a sex shop is an image I'm going to be laughing at on my death bed

 

[BlanketAddict]

So are Mexico going to pay for the wall then?!

Apologies if this has already been turned over but there is this - Like it or not, a Trump self-pardon may be coming soon

Have I missed something there? I hope so!

 

[MrSki]

Not looking good for the UK.

Everything's cool, he's just been hanging out with an old pal at the Swedish consulate, no problem, absolutely all A-okay, hundred percent hunky-dorey

New York attorney general investigating Trump over financial statements

New York state Attorney General Letitia James (D) is investigating whether President Trump illegally inflated his assets to attract investors and earn loans, her office revealed in court documents …

He can't pardon himself for offences committed at the state level. If New York want to prosecute him, they will

I'm not just happy for Americans tonight, tbf. It's not all selfless cheer.

Wish I knew how to post that 'I'm Not Leaving' gif from Wolf Of Wall Street!

Its gone from dancing to ' Lock him up '

I think the idea was that he could temporarily step down (?) and have Pence pardon him, then step up again (batshit but... ). Is that, specifically, not legal at state level, then?
