Well, okay. Maybe not Nadler. The cleanup after might be hideous.

Right now, Donald J. Trump’s opponents can’t quite believe what they’re seeing.
Just a few short months ago, the “Swamp” denizens of Washington were breathing sighs of relief. They had done it! They had defeated the awful Trump, handed the White House to Joe Biden, and could now begin implementing all their cherished plans for a post-Trump America.
And then an amazing thing happened.
A twice-impeached former president who had supposedly incited an “insurrection” at the Capitol Building on Jan. 6 has returned—and he’s looking stronger than ever.
On the night of Saturday, June 5, Trump emerged to give only his second public speech since leaving the White House this past January. Trump was invited to hold court in front of an enthusiastic crowd at the state GOP Convention in Greenville, North Carolina.
This was not in the script that had been so carefully written. The former President Trump is supposed to be a historical footnote at this point. He’s supposed to be utterly destroyed, completely irrelevant, so radioactive nobody will go near him.
Not only is Trump not sulking in private in utter disgrace, he’s now exerting more direct control over the GOP than he ever did when he was in the White House.

Yes he is your President until January 20, 2024.
Well, okay. Maybe not Nadler. The cleanup after might be hideous.
“The best laid plans of mice and men...”
often go awry.
Trump is a cat with 9 lives. In the end, the cat always
ensnares the rodent.
PDJT, keep on doing what you’re doing. America stands with you.
Happy Birthday Mr.President,
You are LOVED!
(Same thing I posted, to you, on the FReepathon thread 😉)
Love this pic!!
Ok....
“..There’s no mechanism for such an occurrence. ..”
Correction: There’s no mechanism for or against such an occurrence.
Puny God.
“but in the end President Trump will be back in office before 2022”
I don’t understand your thinking. There’s no mechanism for such an occurrence. The executive power has been vested and cannot just be removed and placed in another. Only the Congress can remove it from an individual once vested (or by the cabinet along with the VP through the 25th amendment). Even if say, both Biden and Harris were forced to resign if the electors proved fraudulent or chosen in a fraudulent manner, the executive power would then pass to the Speaker and then President Pro Tempore. It cannot just be placed into Trump.

This is why I basically quit posting on Freep. There are plenty, but you have to believe you are seeing actors, not real Biden, real Harris. But, no one is left on Freep who is on that train...just editorial readers and posters.
Proven audit count in AZ, decertify, reassign electoral votes...repeat in GA, repeat in PA...what is so hard to understand?
I watched that with my brother, and we both laughed and laughed as we rewound that part and played it again and again!
“what is so hard to understand?”
Because we have a written constitution. The executive power is currently vested in a particular individual. How would it be un-vested? Constitutionally you can’t go back.
The electoral college is a body that sits for one purpose every four years. It cannot be reconvened. Or, for the states that chose two slates, the Congress would have to recognize the other slate, which it won’t do. And then what? A court force the Congress to act. Courts have no authority to do that either.
This isn’t a parliamentary system, where there can be a vote of no confidence.
We have a system that once power is vested, it is held for a certain period unless certain constitutional actions remove it.
It’s the same as when the Russia thing was going on and all the Hillary supporters thought that if they just somehow removed Trump, that Hillary would then be president. It wouldn’t work that way, the executive power would have passed to Pence.
But even if we get enough states de-certified to prove that Trump won, would it be fair to Trump and to the country to give him a truncated second term with a hostile Congress (who are sure to work against him every step of the way)?
Let's say that by the end of the summer, we de-certify enough states to show that Trump won and somehow we are able to put him back in office.
It will take him a good three to six months to put back together his Administration and get MAGA back on the tracks. At this point, he will already have lost one year of his presidency. He'll have another year with a hostile Congress, full of RINOS that will league with the Democrats to block his every move.
If somehow GOP is able to rid itself of RINOS and take back majority status in November 2022, Trump will effectively only have two years. But even less than that because all eyes will start turning to the 2024 election and Trump will be considered a lame duck.
This is not the way a Trump second term should go.
He deserves a full four-year second term.
I think it would be better for us to establish without a doubt that Trump won, discredit the entire current administration, send all those directly involved in the fraud to prison, fix the electoral process so that this travesty never happens again, and have a MAGA controlled Congress from 2022 on.
Then Trump can run in 2024 and get a full term with a Congress that will actually work with him to get things done.
Actually, it can.
In 1961 President Kennedy asked the NSC to war-game a scenario in which the Soviet Union launched a nuclear Pearl Harbor and successfully decapitated the federal government. The NSC lawyers reported that the state governors, for the most part, could reconstitute the Senate under the terms of the 17th Amendment. The House could only be reconstituted via special elections.
However, concerning the president and vice president, the only body that could elect them was the Electoral College chosen in the last presidential election. This body could be reconvened to make the choice.
Well that’s interesting. I’d never heard that.
But in that circumstance, the reason the College would be reconvened would be because all those who the executive power could have been passed to under the Constitution or Succession Act were dead.
Is that a quote from Mitch McConnell or Liz Cheney?
I love how the Constitution is always invoked to tell us why we can't do something, but when they violate the Constitution we just say, they can't do that, as we stand by and watch them do it.
LOL, maybe both. I visualized a dark room where I could hear those exclamations being issued from, but then imagining the turtle in that dark room alone with the sow, that made me think of things that cannot be un-thinked.
Trump voters are very loyal. The President (the REAL president) values loyalty.
We’ll never let him down and he knows that.
Every time I see our cadaver-in-chief I want to vomit. Biden is an utter moron and disgrace. I hope Putin rips him into shreds and tapers the encounter and splashes it all over social media.
Tapes the encounter...not tapers.
Darn autocorrect.

You are right, it is over, we are all dead. Keep reading editorials.
