I was anticipating what the hopes are from seeing Trump blocked from getting back in the WH
Personally, I'm hoping something happens and he fails

Re: US Politics Megathread
I was just suggesting that Trump not getting in the White House won't lead to those sunny prospects that some think it will. And actually maybe if Trump does win the presidency again, it might lead to less destruction by feeding his supporters again the illusion that he'll actually do something, so ...

Re: US Politics Megathread
And? What's gonna happen? Trump will get banned from the potus race which will save democracy, the planet from climate change and will usher in the AI socialist utopia, amirite. Phew, humanity dodged a bullet there, the good guys won and the USA gets a decent human being as a president again and Eur...

Re: US Politics Megathread
Was Trump in a Zoom meeting with the 6 January protesters when they were breaking into the congress, which makes him an active participant?
Or was he present as a hologram pointing the way forward to the capitol with his hand projected from laser beams.

Re: US Politics Megathread
So you seem to put a lot of weight on his physical presence. Why is it so important for him to physically be there? I'd say he did "lead the charge", just not physically. Because it's common practice in law to differentiate between active participation and authorship of a crime, between i...

Re: US Politics Megathread
Well that would be up to you, in this case. The question is asking if there should be a law that would DQ him, not if there currently is. So it's up to you to decide if you think his actions should DQ him. As for what I think should DQ him, quite simply that he made a serious effort to overturn a l...

Re: US Politics Megathread
Let me tell you of a case from my county. We had some local tycoon who was the president of the local administrative council. During one round of elections he made a phonecall to some chicken business owner, asking him to deliver a large quantity of chicken to some people as a form of electoral brib...

Re: US Politics Megathread
I'll unpack the question, maybe that helps you understand it and also why I'm asking it: Should there be a law on the basis of which Trump would be DQ'd from running for office? "Should there be a law ..." means do you think it would be best if there existed a law. Yet another way of putt...

Re: US Politics Megathread
But what's the logic of such a question... I already said he or anyone else should only be barred from office based on valid legal grounds, according to US law. Not sure what other answer do you want. That Trump the person specifically should have his own law in the US legal code that says: Trump sh...

Re: US Politics Megathread
Yeah, barring the insurrection charge, so far there aren't any other accusations that if they yielded a definitive verdict he'd be disqualified to run for office at a federal level, afaik. So far there doesn't seem to exist any valid legal reasons to bar him from running for potus, except for the Co...

Re: US Politics Megathread
No, I'm not saying there shouldn't be laws that should bar someone from public office, depending on the gravity of the deed, but that needs a definitive verdict up to the court of last resort. In Trump's case, there are lots of lawsuits filed on his name, most of them in relation to tax/wealth decla...

Re: US Politics Megathread
Would you DQ Trump from future elections, yes or no? And don't answer "whatever the law dictates" because you've already made the point that the law is vague and you can interpret it however you want. So interpret it however you want. US federal law already allows someone convicted of a f...

Re: US Politics Megathread
Coincidence that they happened to disrupt the session where they validated election results, right? Of course, it's actually not a coincidence, and there's a lot of evidence to prove that this "protest" was in fact intended specifically to disrupt this session and prevent the election fro...

Re: US Politics Megathread
He surely didn't write his own speech. The speech writer must have worked in tandem with a lawyer who advised him to include language that could serve as evidence in court that Trump encouraged them to protest peacefully. That later TV message in which he condemned the capitol violence was also done...

Re: US Politics Megathread

Re: US Politics Megathread
What of the passage in article 2 that I quoted, where the presidency is quite explicitly referred to as an office? And the example I gave about offices being put in direct contrast to representatives in the house(s)? Do you not consider them evidence towards the presidency being an office? Why not?...

Re: US Politics Megathread
And Trump is not really anti-PC, maybe only when it comes to the immigration subject, but otherwise he's not railing against abortion or gay marriage. He put Justices on the Supreme Court that made abortion illegal. That was him! He did that! Yeah, but it's doubtful their views on abortion played m...
