So-called "pResident."

I can’t consider trump to be President. He is illegitimate in that job - a squatter in OUR White House. He did not win legitimately. He didn’t get the most votes, which should be the absolute be-all and end-all to this - or ANY election. Did we go to some separate elite over-riding group to determine who “really” won all those House seats? Or the governorships we won? Or did the popular vote by itself determine who won? Was it by popular vote in those cases, or wasn’t it?

Why must we maintain this obsolete artificial construct that has little relevance except to those who chart the way to cheat?

Well, don't forget trump was busily hyping a "red wave".

“There isn’t going to be a blue wave. It’ll be a red wave! A RED wave!”

And the deplorables and Pox Noise fans believed him.

It may even have suppressed some GOP voters. No way to tell for sure, but if you think there’s gonna be a red wave because your king tells you that’s what it’ll be, then maybe you’re cool to stay home and relax on Election Day, ‘eh? The rest of the faithful will “git ‘er done” for ya!

Just speculating...

History. Yes. Let trump go into the history books with that big blot on his record.

That asterisk by his name. For all of history. Even just a cursory glance at history books there it’ll be, and one of the main things to remember him for. Impeached!

Look at Bill Clinton. It doesn’t change anything that the Senate didn’t vote to convict. All that’s memorable is - “Impeached.” Hell, some people think Nixon was impeached, too. He wasn’t. He was on the way there but resigned before it could happen, to avoid that particular disgrace.

I can’t help but suspect, though, that trump will try to sneak away to avoid facing the consequences. I can even visualize it (great fun, too, btw!). In the dark of night. Under the cover of darkness. Morning will come. Somebody will notice he’s not there. Somebody in the White House household staff will notice that they can’t find him. Seriously. Where’s trump - is he downstairs somewhere? He’s not in the Oval - I just checked. Not in the bathroom or back room. Called upstairs to the Residence. Nobody’s answering. Anybody seen him? Anybody seen Melania? She isn’t picking up either...

And likewise when it occurs to somebody that they haven’t seen Ivanka or Jared for a couple of days either...

And it’ll eventually leak out - he blew this joint. Snuck outta town - either to Moscow or Riyadh or some such. Relocated. Disappeared. In some ultra fancy exclusive luxury compound somewhere fairly unaccessible. Given heavy protection by his pal Vlad or his “fellow king” in Saudi Arabia. Almost like living in a golden (or gold-tone) prison as it’ll turn out. It’s not like he’d be able to go anywhere or stroll around, freely, out in public. There may be international warrants for his arrest by then. Because a large segment of the nation, and maybe also the world population too, expects him to be forced to face charges.

Just some fantasizing.

That's what tends to happen: a mutual rescue!

George, where are you when we need you?

Besides “hidden” in books where our so-called “pResident” will never even bother to look for you because he doesn’t bother to read anything that isn’t pre-fabricated, dumbed down, and on a TelePrompTer.
