CPAC attendee sent me this pic of a card they were handed about a 7-pt. plan to restore Donald J. Trump in days, not years, which involves installing Trump as speaker and ousting Biden & Harris.

(29,193 posts)and they somehow were to prove it and get some Dems in the House to vote for a new speaker (not sure they can even do that)...
And then install the orange idiot as Speaker.
Do they really think that 67 Senators will vote to convict both Biden and Harris?
I want some of what they are smoking in the alt right loony bin.

(14,646 posts)They will find "a way" to prevent 20 or dems from being present.
Or, alternatively, a 2a solution of both potus/vpotus will solve the problem.
No matter what, it will be a shite show if they retake the house. They will vote to impeach every week.

(36,669 posts)August 13th... Let them know you are holding them to it.

(21,264 posts)but the Senate still has to convict. I fully expect if the GQP wins the House in 2022 that they will move to impeach president Biden, it's what they do. I don't expect MF45 to be Speaker of the House.

(53,743 posts)The CPAC organizers have chosen to play along with trump as ruffling his feathers will cut their future attendance, GOP backing and ability to fund raise off the many trump-fueled conspiracy theories.
They know very well there is no mechanism in the Constitution or government or history for any of those imagined procedures.
When will these gaslighters stop gaslighting the magats with target dates in the future for trump's return? The latest one is August 13. This stuff can be dangerous as the true believers are gearing up for that date, which could mean for celebration or, for another coup attempt?

(63,221 posts)We ignore them at our peril. We should start acting and preparing like they can and will do this, even though they "techincally" can't. When have they ever played by the rules?
Call me paranoid, but I honestly think that they will force themselves into leadership in all three branches of government unless we start holding them accountable and making them suffer the consequences of their actions. I don't care what it takes, but the longer we wait to act, the harder it will be to stop them.
The only thing we have right now is the vote and they are pretty much doing a number on that advantage.

(63,221 posts)I knew I was going out on a limb there and i thought i would get a lot of crap for that comment, but I said it anyway because I honestly believe it. These people are religiously devoted to their cause and nothing will stop them but the force of law. Or physical violence. And I hope it doesn't have to come down to that.

getagrip_already
(14,646 posts)The constitution only requires 2/3 of those present to vote to convict. Not 2/3 of the senate. 2/3 present.
1/6 could look like a children's party.
Luckily I don't think they can pull it off, but it doesn't mean they won't try.
BTW, someone handing out cards means exactly squat.

(14,646 posts)What if some dems could be violently prevented from being present. I thought I was being obvious, but this is what I meant.
Under the constitution and normal functioning rules, you are correct. But that is not what they have in mind.

(21,717 posts)They should go all out on this one.
Sink all of their money and energy into this.
And when it fails, they can punish the people who promised this by refusing to vote.

(8,558 posts)There's a lot of reveal this and witness that without any specific steps, or actual charges, evidence or legal authority to do any of this shit. They also say they could do all this in 7 days, which is insane. It doesn't make them any less scary frankly, and it also doesn't mean that they wouldn't do it in a heartbeat if they get the chance. I think they overestimate their actual support and their ability to survive and win the war they'd be starting with the United States. .

How much longer before they've bled their voters bone-dry of money?

(50,530 posts)The biggest problem they've got is the electorate, at least the part that isn't driving around in pickup trucks with Trump flags zip-tied to the stake rack holes, knows by now that the GOP is completely full of shit. They know the Democratic Party is less horrid than the Republicans. They know Trump legitimately got his ass kicked in November 2020.
But I guess these guys need hobbies. It would be slightly nice if the people yearning to put Trump back in office would discover weed or women and stop with all the "we're going to reinstate Trump" crap. But, y'know, teetotaling incels gotta teetotaling incel.
