Once this is over, hopefully by quelling these protests with force, every effort should be made to send T.rump to prison, for among other things, incitement to violence.

His Twitter account should also be immediately shut down.
As a European watching from a great distance I can only say... wow Trum.p should be charged as a war criminal.
He should be impeached or have the 25th thrown at him immediately. Given today's events I just assume that won't happen though and the next 2 weeks will be an absolute shit show. Which fuck all will happen to him after that except maybe losing his Twitter privileges.

At this point, most senior leaders in the Republican Party, even Karen Laugher who lost the Georgia Senate seat today, have clearly distanced themselves from T.rump because of these events, well, all except dumbshit Ted Cruz.
It is going to be a crazy 12 more days of being in office for T.rump if he is not impeached. But whatever, what's really important is not his impeachment, it is that he should get arrested and be put in Jail, so that his movement can die with him. That's what's really important.

Ilhan Omar is already drawing up articles of impeachment. If he's not removed from office tomorrow what's even the point of having laws?
fully agree
don't think it's gonna happen, but oh brother should it ever. bag of diarrhea inside another, bigger bag of diarrhea isn't the worst president in the last 40 years, not by a longshot, but today's proceedings were so brazen it's kind of a pivotal moment. if the dems don't prosecute this, it means one of two things: either they plan to leverage the same maneuvers in the next four years, or they're confident they can contain the next president following suit. and if that's the new reality, it's probably time to start thinking about relocating.
for the record i won't be doing that, as there's almost no chance i could get the money together in time to do it. but i do think it would be the smart move.

i mean i'm not surprised that this is the case, he quit iced earth to become a reserve cop because of 9/11 and had to go back to music because the cops didn't want him

talked to my sister on the phone earlier who is a pretty hardcore republican (though she was never into any of the crazy election conspiracies that I am aware of) - she was in tears on the phone and couldn't believe what was happening today - "this isn't who we are! this is insane! this is unamerican!" she kept repeating. I did my best not to scold her though I did let slip that "no, for the last 4 years this is exactly what you've supported. maybe you need to reexamine your beliefs and think about what it is exactly that you support."
maybe this, fucking finally, will be a turning point for a lot of people.... well, one can hope at least.

Considering how long it takes congress to do anything they should have enough votes to agree that they need to start a committee to look into removing him from office by the spring.

It's unbelievable that these rioters and looters are still alive and/or not massively arrested. Probably because they're white.

or at least not openly display your employee badge

Pretty sure it wbal who posted a big ass collage of anyone who was captured on camera seeking information on them. I'd imagine most news outlets posting something similar at some point today.

that's the thing that gets me the most - these morons are basically the same group that refuses to wear face masks which would have helped at least a little bit to conceal their identity.
I expect to see more of this. even if they aren't charged with a crime - their identities are known now. same thing happened after the neonazi rally in Charlottesville.

career-wise HW probably tops him too (long career in CIA, kennedy plot, etc.) though if you're strictly going term for term i think it's possible to say bag of diarrhea inside another, bigger bag of diarrhea edges him out. haven't really thought this one over much
odious as bag of diarrhea inside another, bigger bag of diarrhea may be (for example, the blackwater pardons in particular are among the most sickening things i have ever seen in my entire life), W has a million-plus body count and set in motion much of what's become the 21st century dystopian reality of america. it's not even close

Using those standards of net human suffering you don't have to restrict yourself to Republicans. Obama's presidency caused immense human suffering that dwarfs T.rump's contribution - Obama really lit up a large part of the world in flames by sponsoring coups and direct military action. The formation of ISIS was in large part due to the aerial bombardment of Libya and Syria - which weakened the secular governments and created the perfect vacuum for terrorists to fill in. Progressive societies went to the stone-age, other places went to Fascism (Ukraine) due to Obama's interventions.
As for T.rump, while it can be argued that he did not wage wars, he certainly caused 365,000 deaths in America by his criminal attitude towards the Pandemic. These deaths can be laid squarely at his feet. If you count deaths caused by his inequality creating economic program, then the figure grows larger. But don't give T.rump too much credit for not waging wars, he almost did numerous times, with Iran and Venezuela.

I am relatively optimistic about Biden's government. If he doesn't start new wars, and just sticks to economic recovery, that will be good. I'm not too keen on his serious hostility towards Russia and China though. I don't think those are going to be good for the world at large.

but everyone still loves obama so i'll just get yelled at and dismissed for suggesting as much

You sure Donny wasn't the result of 8 years of all of the racists having to "put up" with a black hard-on bearer being in charge for the better part of a decade? You're giving these people far too much credit. Sure there are things that one can criticize Obama for, but you know that Donny's supporters simply follow the logic of "black man = bad"
I'm sure Stormy understands this. He is however arguing a different point, which is to compare the net contribution to human suffering across Presidents.

and obama contributed greatly to human suffering at home and abroad. he facilitated the establishment of open slave markets in libya and the fraudulent theft of millions of homes in the US. voters respond to those kinds of things!
obviously yes there are a great deal of racists in this country who supported bag of diarrhea inside another, bigger bag of diarrhea on that basis alone; and plenty more still who might not necessarily hold explicitly racist beliefs themselves, but are more or less fine with it in others as long as their 401k continues its upward trajectory. i just don't think it really tells the whole story.
i maintain that if obama had actually done anything to help regular people (or even just bothered to govern at all) 2016 would've had a very different result.
