What about all those years Ken Starr spent investigating Bill Clinton? And the dozen or so different Benghazi hearings that Hillary had to suffer through?
Ooh, I know – co-Presidents! Trump can share his extra years with the other Presidents (and almost Presidents) who got cheated. After all, Trump is all about treating Presidents fairly!
I am SO looking forward to seeing him get the “Assange treatment”.
And on the whole statute of limitations issue, I know that some jurisdictions have a provision that says that if an individual is outside the jurisdiction of the court the clock stops on the SOL. A smart lawyer could potentially argue that, due to DOJ policy, said provision would apply to trump. If nothing else, it would be hilarious to see trumps lawyers argue that, NO, NO, he could have been indicted.
Emphasis added.
**Today I Learned While Googling The Spelling Of “Jabroni” **that it used to be "jabon(e)y," and might come from the Italian “giambone,” for “ham.” Thanks for that, El Kabong 
Also, seconded. We could file a class action lawsuit. Oops, look at all those Trump judges.
I think we owe Al Gore a presidency too.
:smack: He’s like a two year old, but with less self control, common sense and intelligence.
There was a spelling correction: someone said that he is seventy-two years old, but WH Staff clarified that he is actually seventy two-year-olds.
They lie. He’s more like .72 two-year-olds in any measurable criteria. Hell, THAT might be generous. I would entertain the assertion that he has the intelligence, control and common sense of a 2 year old rock, but I’d really need some compelling evidence to back that up…
And some of us hold the position that at least two of the electors violated their oath of office and failed to exercise their constitutional duty, thus ensuring we now have the wrong person as president, something the electoral college was supposed to prevent.
Not looking for a fight, but I haven’t heard this argument before. Can you summarize or hit us up with a link?
I don’t want him dead, jailed would be fantastic. An interesting thing I overheard on base the other day was that theoretically he could be sent to Gitmo, collusion with a foreign government being treason …
Heaven obviously doesn’t want him and hell is afraid he will take over?
One can always learn something interesting on the Dope =)
You know things are bad in this country when **Cheesesteak ** is arguing with PhillyGuy.
Money post of this thread. Well done!
I’m not sure exactly what he’s talking about, because just two electors wouldn’t have made a difference, but a few electors didn’t vote for their party’s nominee in 2016.
Here’s a story from NPR:
Haven’t you been paying attention? No collusion!!!
It’s hard to fathom, but I wonder how much chaos Trump would stir up if he did lose a close one in the electoral college. Let’s say it comes down to one state and that the margin in that state is only a few hundred votes like Florida in 2000. Do you all think we would really be looking at major shit happening I’m the event of such a result? I can’t see him going quietly into the night the way Gore did.
He bitched and whined when he didn’t win by enough votes, so he better make sure his cell phone is all charged up and his thumbs nimble (win or lose).
Oh, he’d challenge the result, it would go to the Supreme Court, and if they could find any - any - ground to throw the election to Trump, they’d do it.
As Josh Marshall points out, “A far more legitimate, less corrupt court did as much in 2000.” If you’re expecting the current SCOTUS conservative majority to be less partisan than Sandra O’Connor and Anthony Kennedy, good luck with that.
It would then be the Dem candidate who would have to choose whether or not to politely yield like Gore did.
Who’s to say? Lets kick his ass good and solid, just to make sure.
I really have to hope they wouldn’t. It was bullshit then and it’s bullshit now.
IMHO Roberts would uphold a narrow R victory but he wouldn’t overturn a narrow D victory. If he did, that’s one scenario where I think major shit would happen. Of course even worse would be one where Trump doesn’t recognize the legitimacy of a SCOTUS decision.
