Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsI have a vision: It takes place at roughly 12:05 on January 20th, 2021;
I really and truly want to see Trumpy bodily removed from the White House grounds televised around the world.
Seriously.
I want the election to go forward, I want him to stick it out and not go and fucking resign a day before inauguration or anything like that, bucking for a pardon from Pence..... I want him to stick around and refuse to leave.
And then I want to see on television, with 20 cameras recording, in the moments immediately after Biden says the words "So Help Me God" on the western front of the United States Capitol, Trumpy lifted by the elbows, carried out along the curved driveway on the north side of the building, kicking and shouting the whole way, toward the statue of Rochambeau at the SW Corner of Lafayette Park, and deposited on the corner of Pennsylvania Avenue and Jackson Place NW where he will be unceremoniously and summarily dropped, by the same Secret Service Agents who up until 5 minutes before were sworn to give their lives to protect him.
An utterly satisfying "dusting off of the hands" by those agents would be icing on the cake.
And I want to hear it on national TV, the senior member of that same Secret Service Detail call in to the control center and say something to the effect;
"Mr. Trumps access to the grounds are hereby revoked".
THAT is what I want to see. I want to see him utterly humiliated on national TV. I want him to be refused the traditional "Free Ride" home on the Presidential Aircraft that every president before him has been granted. The elegant and traditional ferry ride away from the position on Marine One. All of it, done away with.
Let him make his own way to National Airport and catch a ride wherever he wants to go on his own 767.
This is what I so truly want to see on January 20'th. 2021
Extra icing;
Cameras are there when he lands, be it Palm Beach or LaGuardia or wherever, and watch as US Marshals serve him with an arrrest warrant and put him in cuffs.
He MUST BE PROSECUTED.
HE CAN NOT BE ALLOWED TO WALK FROM THIS.
If he is allowed to walk, this country will never be able to fully recover.

(15,100 posts)It won't happen exactly that way. Secret Service will continue to protect him, but the way you describe it is quite delicious. I can picture him standing on Pennsylvania Avenue trying to hail a taxi to the airport.
I think they should take all of his clothes out of the closets and dresser drawers and dump them out on the sidewalk next to him. Especially the makeup stained shirts!

That is a work detail I just don't see as an easy one to fill for the next administrator!
"OK...Who wants to go and babysit Trumpy?"

(15,100 posts)He will be happy.
I cannot imagine the distaste these professional women and men in the Secret Service have for the Idiot-in-Chief, who have been forced to do this. I am horrified that so many of them have gotten sick with the virus.

(778 posts)Be wonderful to see, wouldn't it? When he does lose, he will claim the election was rigged just like he was ready to do if he would have lost to Hillary. I like the way you think.

Chief Justice Roberts: "Congratulations, President Biden!"
Chief of the Capitol Police: "Mr. Trump, would you please turn around and place your hands on your head?..."

(24,368 posts)I just can not see him conceding and I cant see him being on the same stage as Biden.
I'll bet a $100 donation to any charity you want, and I promise as a gentleman to honor the bet.

(66,361 posts)I think you're absolutely right.
It's just my little fantasy of Inauguration Day...
A HERETIC I AM
(24,368 posts)I want to see him placed in cuffs as well.
He deserves it, he warrants it and it really should happen.
If I'm not mistaken, you're a member of the bar, right? Or at least peripherally associated?
Isn't it clear Trumpy has broken the law? By any measure of rational thinking?
There have been threads on DU in the past months claiming he should not/can not be prosecuted and jailed.
I say he absolutely MUST BE!
Otherwise....well...
The United States and its claims to any moral superiority is just simply full of shit.

I could not agree more. He has already fleeced the taxpayers enough. Let him pay for his own security after he leaves office.

Just my opinion... I hate it with every fiber of my being, but doubt he will do any jail time for the above reason.

(1,204 posts)because he might head it immediately toward Moscow. Instead, give him the courtesy of flying out of DC on Air Force ex-1 but make sure the Air Force pilot understands that Pres. Biden is now his Commander-in-Cheif and has given instructions not to fly the plane outside of USA boundaries.
If it were up to me, I'd have the pilot land at Ft. Leavenworth, KS.
A HERETIC I AM
(24,368 posts)Is subject to payment.
If his credit is fucked, so is his ability to have that plane of his flown very far at all.
If the folks that sell/deliver fuel at National Airport ( I REFUSE to call it "Reagan" ) will not fuel his plane....well...
It goes exactly as far as whatever it has onboard when it lands, right?
In a just world, his credit is fucked. Right?

As long as he's gone, I don't really care how it happens. He just needs to go.
