What if Trump crashes Jan 6 certification session?

[Bobstandard]

Trump is coming back to Washington and everyone wonders why. What if he plans to crash the Senate session on January 6 when the Electoral College vote is to be certified? He’s President Chaos, after all, and wouldn’t that create maximum chaos?

He’s told his followers, “see you on January 6.” The spectacle of him crashing the session would be a great way to insure that his followers, indeed the whole country and the world would see him at his raging finest.

I’m not sure if Senate rules allow the President access to their chambers without invitation. But Trump has said, “I’m the President, I can do what I want.” And who would stop him? McConnell? Would the Turtle tell the Sergeant at Arms to block the door? Would the Sergeant at Arms do it? How would the Secret Service react? What if a scuffle ensued? Would Republicans rush to his aid? Would violence break out on the floor of the Senate?

Picture Trump rushing the podium, grabbing the box of Electoral College votes, and tossing them all to the floor, declaring them fake, fraudulent, illegal, moot, null and void! Ballots, or whatever is in the box, get trashed and many disappear. What happens to the vote then? The clerks count what’s left and then, well, who knows?

Face it. This is just the kind of stunt Trump would pull. He’s desperate. He’s deranged. He’s President Chaos! Anything could happen.

1. not going to happen

2. Drag him out in handcuffs, arrest him, throw him in Leavenworth till the trial, build the gallows

[BarackTheVote]

3. Trump rushing anywhere--

have you seen the guy WALK let alone RUSH?

[Arne]

4. Or what if he has a constitutional crisis that morning and can't take a dump? n/t

5. Joint Sessions are traditionally held in the House

... and Nancy Pelosi enforces the rules. I know that previously she had to give the OK for the president to come to the House for a state of the union.

Senate is a smaller room and so too many people for a joint session there.

6. IIRC, he is only allowed in the chambers at the invitation of MajLdr or Speaker.

So if he shows up, it'll be at Mitch's choice. He's certainly not dropping in on the House where he'll likely see a more positive reception than he would in the Senate.

17. Pelosi's -- joint sessions are usually in the House

[Baked Potato]

7. Picture Trump looking down and he can't see Lil Trump past the belly.

Viva La Joe Biden!!

[Mike 03]

8. He won't. Granted, he does want to be in town and is probably hoping for

violence outside. "Everyone wonders why." No. I don't know a single person who wonders why he's coming back to D.C. for the protests.

As for January 6, he won't win that battle and he will never, ever show up. For all his bluster, he won't face difficult situations. He can't even fire people to their faces. Look how long it took him to work up the nerve to leave the White House or go to Mar-A-Lago after losing the election. He's only comfortable around followers and sycophants. He hates actual face to face confrontation.

9. No. Trump avoids direct conflict. He wants to be surrounded only by sycophants.

No way he goes into Congress.

[Voltaire2]

10. What if there really is a Death Star and he

deploys it?

Huh? What then?

[WA-03 Democrat]

12. Brad "drunk enough to drinks beer in front of cops" Parascales

His Death Star for Donny was sucked into a “brown hole” and was never heard from again. These recently discover celestial bodies sucks bullshit at the speed of light.

[Saboburns]

15. Then Adam Schiff flies his X-Wing thru chaos and drops 2 torpedoes down a handy air shaft.

While Harrison Ford uses The Millennium Falcon to fight off Dick Cheney and protect his back.

[Wicked Blue]

11. That would look much like Chris Farley crashing through the weather map as El Nino

RIP Chris Farley

[Fiendish Thingy]

13. Pelosi controls the chamber of the house, can shut it down if needed, and empty the room. Nt

[lettucebe]

14. That could earn him a straight jacket -- which he richly deserves

[Blue Owl]

16. Hooked up to a giant boom crane, like a wrecking ball

I think he'd opt out -- might mess up his hair...

[FSogol]

18. No way: "This is just the kind of stunt Trump would pull." He's full of bluster and hot air.

He talks big, but always backs down. I only expect crazy tweets from him until he slinks back to Florida.
