This shitshow backfired big time on the cult

[Ferrets are Cool]

I'm sure it's been said here already, but I can't find a thread.

Everything that went down this afternoon backfired badly. Many congress members have pulled their objections, there are now major corporations discussing the 25th, and IF Pence had any affinity towards OrangeAnus before today, it flew out a window today. Also, for the first time, I have heard the MSM actually say negative things about the pOTUS and invoking the word "sedition". WOW!!

So much winning.

1. That's their level of "planning"

What a complete fck up!

[FarPoint]

2. I sure believe it has backfired...

tRumpers try and equalize this with the Black Lives Matter Protesting/looting...no difference to them....Ya, they don't get it!

[Claustrum]

3. And I think there should be a few "careers" ended for Pence, Cruz, Howley, etc.

They will forever be linked to this disastrous day and there wouldn't be a national future for them.

4. I hope so. nt

13. I said national specifically cause they might still be loved by the Trump cult followers.

So they might still have pulls in the GoP. But once they are in the national debate, their opponent mentions their links to today and that immediately turns off a lot of moderates/independents.

9. Princess Sparklepony can kiss her chances of being the first female president goodbye.

and her scummy brothers too!

16. This is the silver lining!

I think the name "Trump" will be poison in politics forever. The establishment will never allow them to gain power ever again. They are done. The brand is done. The only places they will be accepted are places that they would not be caught dead in.

[llmart]

17. Yep.

Their name on anything will be dirt. However, it's not enough for me that they are tainted forever. I want them charged with all the fraud/money laundering/theft, etc. they've pulled and thrown in prison. I hope I live long enough to see that.

18. Cruz is a cockroach will survive unfortunately...

...Hawley I believe is permanently stained.

5. the dog and pony show to the rabid base went sideways...

I think the "populist uprising" was supposed to be part of that but the idiots didn't understand what they were playing with and they got burned. Now it is CYA time.

6. You are right and it's not surprising

He is a failure at everything.

[Renew Deal]

7. Hopefully they invoke the 25th overnight

And impeach by tomorrow.

[servermsh]

8. Yep! And we should strategically use this in our political favor!

Imagine if the Congress was overrun by African Americans and white hippies The GOP would use that event for decades.

10. Yeah, personally threaten the physical safety of legislators, including your own

...not a good look from any angle. A lot of people who have been looking the other way or providing cover are going to be done up now. I wouldn't be surprised if they are trying to have a nixon conversation moment with Trump as I type this. But Trump is a lot stupider than Nixon, so who knows what will happen.

11. Perigee followed apogee quickly, didn't it?

There has been a very gratifying loosening of tongues since the Senators and the Representatives came back from shelter. There has been a frankness and a plainness of speaking that has been missing for over four years.

12. A highly elliptical orbit now

...possibly burning up on re-entry at perigee. Or at least decaying significantly so as to collapse within a few more days.

[gratuitous]

15. Or an eccentric orbit that boomerangs this whole sorry lot off into deep space

Uncharted, even.

[localroger]

19. I think ejecting it into interstellar space would require another body

Probably planet Biden or Merrick
