Hey - you guys need to get a grip! This is just politics after all!laklak wrote: ↑Wed Aug 22, 2018 7:20 pmDon't know. I hope it fails, because it would split our already fractured country like nothing else I can even imagine. Far better for everyone to just ride it out. Positions are far more entrenched today then they were even in 1974 when Nixon resigned. That isn't hyperbole, I was there and remember it well. There is a large, perhaps very large, segment of the right that would see it as literal treason, particularly with the current resurgence of socialist rhetoric from the not-so-far left. Couple that with some big Antifa "demonstrations" an you have a recipe for disaster, don't underestimate these people or minimize what they might do. The best we could hope for is a relatively smooth and non-violent transition to Pence ala Gerald Ford. Of course, the first thing Pence would do is pardon Trump, just as Ford did Nixon, but Pence might go further and pardon everyone and anyone who stayed loyal, but most definitely not Cohen. Not only is he a grass, but he's a fucking JEW to boot and they killed Jebus. I may have to move up our Swaziland schedule, I'd rather be elsewhere when it happens.
Seriously - the 'entrenched' nature of the politics is a real issue, obviously. The causes are worth discussing. One seems clearly to be the 'tribalism' that on-line linking up seems to engender. Maybe you/we need to tell people to get off their fucking twitter/facebook/tumblr accounts for a change and actually talk to each other.
Except the fucktards of course. They can just fuck off. Republican cunts.
