Peaceful transfer of Power.

[fantome profane]

Remember back when those nuts with TDS actually suggested that Trump would not support a peaceful transfer of power? What an insane suggestion. Of course Trump will participate in a peaceful transfer, all his rhetoric is just a harmless joke. No one is going to get violent. Those lefties are just paranoid.

And let's add those Senators who asserted Trump learned his lesson after impeachment.

Remember when Michael Cohen, Trump’s longtime crooked lawyer and “fixer”, said the following before Congress?

“I blindly followed his demands. My loyalty Mr. Trump has cost me everything, my family’s happiness, friendships, my law license, my company, my livelihood, my honor, my reputation and soon my freedom. And I will not sit back, say nothing, and allow him to do the same to the country.

Indeed given my experience working for Mr. Trump I fear that if he loses the election in 2020 that there will never be a peaceful transition of power, and this is why I agreed to appear before you today.”

Wow. Now the Republican Party’s blind loyalty has cost them everything, too. And indeed there has not been a fully peaceful transition of power.

We were warned.

And let's add those Senators who asserted Trump learned his lesson after impeachment.

If you've never had the misfortune of knowing a psychopath, you're likely to be naive about their nature and unable to recognize one for what they are. You would believe that they behave like a mentally healthy individual who learns lessons and is capable of being a good person. Psychopaths, especially stone-cold psycopaths, are a rarity that few directly encounter. In this sense, I don't blame them for their naivety. If I hadn't dealt with someone on the spectrum of psychopathy in my life, I'd naively believe reformation was possible too. But when someone is glaringly unrepentant with a rich history of exploiting others for personal gain? There is no lessons learned for stone-cold psychopaths. There is only a continued pattern of abuse.

It's not Jan 20 yet, bruderherz.

It's not Jan 20 yet, bruderherz.

I'm not sure if an electoral count has ever involved someone dying. Amd Trump, he's either more selfish than anyone thought possible or just has completely lost his marbles with his remarks of "go home. I won but lost because of fraud, but it's time to go home."

All marbles gone.

 

[Mr Spinkles]

January 6, 2021 will go down as the moment that a Presidential election in living memory did not have a peaceful transition of power.

The windows and doors in the Capital were broken and one person shot and killed.

We DID NOT have a peaceful transition.

Right, and what is Trump going to do in the next couple weeks? This guy you voted for, Is he going to call for peace now after weeks (or years) of stoking the fire? What are the chances that he will now concede the election? Will he go on TV and still talk about a rigged election? Will he still say he won and Biden should be prevented from talking office? What will he do? And more importantly, what will you do about it?

He will organize another rally, possibly on Jan 20 and once again incite an insurrection to stop the inauguration.

What will he do?

I make no specific predictions other than having
called Biden's win. But I expect a peaceful but
noisy transition later this month.

And more importantly, what will you do about it?

Nothing I do will be important.
What will you do?

I imagine the inauguration in a couple weeks will now have air tight security, and it wouldn't surprise me if the National Guard is called in to make a presence and discourage misdeeds from any would-be purveyors of violence.

Aye, they must have learned from being
under-prepared for today's assault.

In that question “you” refered to American, not you personally. That was unclear and that was my mistake.

But the question is what will the US do now? Is it now finally time for the 25th? Is there any doubt now that Trump is unfit and dangerous? If Trump calls for more violence, something needs to be done.

Oh...OK....simultaneously....
1) Continue the formal process of counting votes
& inaugurating Biden.
2) Invoke the 25th Amendment.
3) Improve security in all venues subject to MAGA attacks.
4) Arrest & prosecute all wrongdoers.

I recall a regular here on RF call of us "hysterical" predicting this. Oh well. I promised I wouldn't say I told you so when it happened as predicted. And I won't. It doesn't need to be said.

Yep. I got tongue lashed the other day here for saying Trump had a personality disorder. An armchair diagnosis, I think was the term that was thrown at me for that. Yeah, normal, healthy people don't act like this. If you've known those with mental disorders in your life, you're not crazy to see it when it blares right in your face like this.

Perhaps his niece who is a psychologist, wasn't warning us of the danger of his mind, just because she was bitter? You think, maybe?

I am surprised and impressed that you agree that the 25th should be invoked. I thought you would tell me it would be an overreaction.

But if you think this is serious it must be worse than even I thought.
