presidents dont just march down to congress. that's not how this works.

like most people who have asked the question- what did tfg think was going to happen when he got to the capital?- i have no clue beyond WIN. likely declare martial law.

but the thing is, by tradition, the president goes to the capital by invitation ONLY.
you cant tell me that in 4 years, this was not explained to him like he was 3.

he knew this was an insane plan.
ftr, my highest hope is that he pleads insanity. that is a far more important convo for the country than criminal law and procedures.
and it would be great if that landed dr ronnie feelgood in brig for lying from the wh podium.

1. It was made clear to him way back when...

He and the Speaker had that kerfuffle over the SOU, whenever that was.

3. ty. i was fishing for an example of it coming up.

i think if i were nancy, i'd make a point of this.

9. I agree...

A major primer on how our government works is something we really need all over the place and written at every reading level.

The public is too ignorant of what is supposed to be going on and how it all works.

10. i'd like to see 25a codified as an affirmative duty of every cabinet member and the veep.

i'd like to see the speaker able to call a hearing and a vote. like, quickly.

11. That would be very helpful.

2. Even if 🍊💩 pleads insanity, his insane supporters would still vote for him for POTUS.

That is the terrifying reality of their cult.

[mopinko]

4. ya know, some will still drink the koolaid, but

this is how you take down a cult. i think the $250m grift was a crack where the light can come through.
and now they knew that he thought they were his army. and that he gave THEIR lives not a thought.

[BlueBloodedAmerican]

5. I genuinely hope you are right about that.

I have such low regard for his cult members’ combined intelligence, it is hard to believe many of them have enough brain power to realize they were conned even with all the evidence piling up. None of his supporters I know personally seem to understand they were conned, even yet.

[mopinko]

6. well, i've said a few times- numbers are processed completely differently than words.

whole different part of the brain. that's why we say they dont lie. we inherently trust them.
and a quarter billion is a number that gets the attention.

7. Mentally ill.

I’m sure he saw himself marching with the mob, going straight to the Speaker’s podium, and declaring himself President for Life as a big MAGA banner took the place of the flag.

That’s how he always thought of being the POTUS — he was free to do whatever he wanted. Well, I hope the fuck-around-and-find-out moment arrives for him VERY soon.

I agree — declaring him mentally ill and unfit for office will finish him off once and for all..

8. thinks he's richard III
