Those who are or were close to Trump are disliked everywhere on a personal level. Guiliani, Miller, Conway, Bannon - nobody is getting behind the Trump or Trump adjacent picks in my view.

That would be Anglea Merkel, Chancellor of Germany. Merkel cannot abide Trump or his spawn.
In this gif she is trying very hard to be part of the conversation with Christine Lagarde, president of the European central bank. Ms. Lagarde ignored her for quite a bit, then looked at her with thinly disguised disgust - a particular look that only haughty Frenchwoman have perfected.
Are they talking about an impeached president or a convicted president - who is then removed from office?
I feel like part of the story is missing here. I agree that solitary is no substitute for quarantine but it seems very odd that there is not a placement elsewhere in a minimum security facility. Or perhaps release someone about to be released soon away from said facility - do it a little earlier so he can be squeezed…
These two measures alone would keep seditious assholes like Cawthorne, Boebert, Gomert, Brooks, and Gosar from possibly entering the building ever again. Which would be fine since some of them may have given “tours” of the Capitol building to insurrectionists on Jan. 5th.
The benefits a president receives after leaving office are outlined in the Former Presidents Act of 1958. That law states that former presidents shall receive a lifetime pension (of approximately $200,000 annually), travel-related expenses up to $1 million each fiscal year, and protection from the Secret Service. It…
If he is found guilty he does not get to keep the perks of the office. No pension, no secret service, no 1M dollars discretionary allowance for travel (yes, that’s a thing)
The family would lose protection regardless. Only a former president and spouse get continuing protection. And Barron because he is under the age of majority.
Well I guess its better than Mr. Shirt Sleeves but not by much.
So what do we suppose Hope plans to do next. I guess she could return to Fox news but other than that....?
Nah. But someone who he needs a favour from probably does.
And Secret Service protection!!!!
Can we get a list of names of everyone who booed?
Well I guess our first clue came early when it was very apparent that there were not nearly enough law enforcement officers on site - and the ones on standby were not given permission for a couple of hours to enter the fray - that would be the Maryland riot police.
As I watched the ‘rabble’ breaking into the capital I did think that it was mostly theatre, a bunch of white supremacist losers wearing militia type uniforms cosplaying confederate soldiers. As these new details emerge I realize how little I understood as to how this ‘rally’ fomented the rage of thousands of…
The FBI has a huge and important role to play in rooting out the insurrectionists and bringing them to justice. May they always remember that Trump and his Republican minions tried on numerous occasions over the last four years to kneecap the bureau. This is their time to right that wrong.
OK you are good on your own. How about the rest of the community. Best to just assume the cops are bent and will not assist? What would be the alternate plan in that case. Or are you ok with the anarchy you saw last Wednesday. Not your problem?
Just as we all saw and heard from and about Trump - we knew who he was from the start. It was also pretty damn clear from the start who Rubio, Jordan, and Cruz were and continue to be. Graham was a bit of surprise as he had such vitriolic shit to say about Trump five years ago and then magically changed his mind over…
Really? How many times have you been a victim of a crime? So what are you going to do instead? Get a gun?
