U.S. Presidential Election 2016 (Sponsored by Betty Croker's Hamburger Helper)

[Lewis]

I don't know who is more pathetic. 'Kamala' or 'Dr. Biden.'

It should be 'Dr' Jill Biden since it's barely a degree qualification. Either way, the future is awful twats - mainly women, it has to be said - insisting you recognise their credentials.

[Pepe]

The shitter the credential, the more important the recognition.

[Spikey M]

Agreed.

Ian 'webbed feet' Welby - 10m Backstroke.

I was fucking diabolical at backstroke, it has to be said. 10m in a straight line would have been a result.

[randomlegend]

I can't swim.

Well I can, quite strongly for about 10 metres. Then I die.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I was fucking diabolical at backstroke, it has to be said. 10m in a straight line would have been a result.

I was always worried that I'd smash my head against a pool wall and/or a person when I was doing the backstroke.

That wasn't my issue, I just ended up at the diagonally opposite corner of the pool without intending to.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Seeing these American senate results from Georgia, how is it that everything in that country is so ridiculously and exactly polarised? Every single election result I've seen in the last couple of months seems to have been 50.2% plays 49.8% one way or the other.

[phonics]

The GOP seeing Trump get his shit pushed in and then still being too afraid of his base so let him tank the Senate as well. Incredible stuff.

[igor_balis]

Yeah some random girl who was friends with my mate's sister would occasionally pop up on facebook saying stuff, and to this day I still can't understand why she had (Bsc) next to her name. What a mentalist.

Lefty twitter is in its element. A guy I know has just tweeted 'History will remember which side we were on'. History will remember that you work for Byron Burger in west London, mate.

[Luca]

To be fair, this could be a lot worse if the average Trump supporter had more than 4 brain cells and an actual plan beyond "hurr durr let's take some photos in the Capitol." The problem is not so much what happened (because you're right, it's not an 'actual' coup attempt), but it's a signal to others with perhaps more malicious intentions about how easy it would be.

It's easy because they haven't just wasted them, which they would if they weren't a bunch of obvious tits.

Jesus, the unstoppable seething anger in the Trump mongs 'interviewed' in ITV's report. You can't contest that on a logical platform. A bullet in the head would be a sweet release for most of them.

Can Twitter legally delete his tweets? Mustn't all of the president's written (lol) statements be entered into the record by law?

Three died in 'medical emergencies' as well as the one who got shot? Did they have heart attacks from the excitement of it all, or did they literally shit themselves to death?

On another note, Twitter is almost unreadable from the grandstanding lefties, particularly the Brits.

[Spikey M]

The (far) right and the (far) left are equally absurd at the moment. Fully mental. I got told that being a centrist means I must be neutral about genocide the other day. Apparently only left wing people are anti-genocide, right wing people are pro-genocide and then there's me in the middle not caring.

That she managed to have such a simplistic world view at the same time as carrying a truckload of superiority was impressive.

[Lofty]

There's some shit for brains having a tantrum. Forgotten by next Tuesday.

I honestly don't think so. It's pretty significant that the President held a rally whipping people up about the 'stolen election' right before this and then actively encouraged his supporters as they interrupted the confirmation of the President elect. People died during it. I think even the GOP will be railing against this for a while because who knows who the nutters were going to execute after they did Pelosi.

[Spikey M]

People died during BLM, Sandyhook, etc. Fast forward a month... nobody cares anymore. On to the next news item.

This is partly what I meant by milking it for decades. They will condense 'Trumpism' into this, so next time somebody going for the party ticket suggests kicking immigrants about or regulating social media Mitt Romney and a bunch of bowtie war criminals will sign an open letter mewling about this.

People toss around “Trumpism” all the time and after four years I genuinely have no clue what they are yammering about.

In terms of Trump himself it doesn’t seem to be anything outside of narcissism / egotism. He’s difficult to describe in political terms because he doesn’t seem to have any conventional political goals. If he does, he doesn’t pursue them outside of media. Republican leadership just rolls him for their political priorities while using him to access a voting base they can’t reach.

Of course it is a failed coup. If you attempt to set up a perception that the count is rigged or should be stopped by changing how votes are counted only in states you are closely contesting. Then you follow it by refusing to accept that there were not improprieties after 60 odd cases are thrown out at all levels. Cases in which when pressed to actually show fraud lawyers demure because they don’t want to lose their licenses for lying under oath. And then follow that up with a plan to send multiple slates of contested electors to force political pressure on the legislature to make a deal. A tactic, which Lindsey Graham of all people pointed out in a Senate speech last night, was last employed to overturn elections during Reconstruction to instill Jom Crow and create a white hegemony.

Ok, so if it was Bolivia we’d technically call it a pact transition and not a coup. But nobody without a political science PhD knows what that is so let’s just call it a failed coup. Sure it is a dumb Wiley Coyote ACME ordered coup attempt but does that matter?

[John Arne]

There still seems to be a lot of vagueness around the people who died. The one lady got shot, the other bloke who tased himself, but then the other two just randomly died? /conspiracy



Three others died after suffering unspecified medical emergencies on Capitol grounds, police said.

[Lofty]

Pffft that's not a conspiracy theory. Claiming the woman who was shot never existed and is a crisis actor employed by 'the directors' is a conspiracy theory.

[Jimmy Floyd]

If they do actually sign off the thing to impeach Trump (which is a waste of time but they seem keen on it), will Mike Pence then become the 46th President in a Dönitz-esque three-day reign?

[Ian]

Yeah, it'll be a good one for the trivia / quiz boffins.

I saw one person saying it'll stop him doling out pardons / pardoning himself but I dunno how that works (are presidential powers stopped or whatever while an impeachment is on the go?) or whether he's even likely to face prosecution after his presidency is done anyway.

[Lewis]

Following the speaking fees interference and the made-up life stories, this push to claim that the summer riots were all ruthlessly supressed is the sort of thing that in normal times would draw a bit of 'Hang on mate...' I can't remember which Twitter legend said it, but you're looking at the first administration in history backed by ninety-nine per cent of institutional authorities, and all the people who normally see 'fascism' around every corner can't get enough of it.

[Pepe]

If our side does it, it is democracy. If the other side does it, it is fascism.

I think the impeachment thing is just worth it so that he cannot run again.

[Kikó]

I've read your post about 4 times Lewis and I still don't understand what it's trying to say. Educate me?

[Lewis]

The George Floyd mourning process caused tens of billions of dollars worth of damage (as an aside, the murder rate is up almost forty per cent in most major cities) whilst receiving institutional support from politicians, media organisations, the cultural sector, corporations, and every other twat with any social clout outside of right-wing radio personalities - and now they are all in on pushing the new NARRATIVE that the summer riots were all quickly and ruthlessly suppressed. 'Imagine if they were Black Lives Matter!' We don't have to imagine. They burned cities down, celebrities and politicians raised their bail money, and barely anyone was charged.

Why are Chevron and Coca-Cola issuing statements about the sanctity of institutions? Institutions which, as of three days ago, were institutionally racist and not fit for contemporary purpose. Because they spent 2020 excusing and supporting violent riots from wallies who think the system is against them, so this has to be an 'insurrection' and an 'attempted coup' (which it just wasn't) to draw the line between them. This is every bit as 'fascist' as going off on foreigners and putting up trade barriers. Fascism requires the 'corporate state', and now they have one.

Why the liberal lefties are really at fault by
Lewis | The Spectator

[Luca]

While I don’t agree with Lewis (the burning cities down bit is obviously not on, but comparing people rioting because of years of actual systemic injustice coming to a head to people rioting because some demagogue is making baseless claims about an election to rile them up isn’t fair), we probably won’t get progress by shutting out the other side and responding with memes.

“The other side are idiots so I won’t engage” is part of what sparked the perceived disenfranchisement of rural America. Many are probably too far gone by now, but this rhetoric is unsustainable if we want progress.

The 'baseless claims about an election' only managed to rile people up because of the 'perceived disenfranchisement of rural America'. You can't split the two into serious and non-serious concerns, one worthy of a riot and one not. After all, the summer riots were kicked off because a career criminal overdosed resisting arrest and a wanted nonce was shot going for a knife after fighting with the police. Are they noble, coherent causes in isolation? No, so it's much easier to say that violent lawlessness is shithouse regardless, and that everyone who said otherwise in the summer is a retard.

[randomlegend]

because a career criminal overdosed resisting arrest

Both autopsies had the primary cause of death as being directly caused by the restraint. The police officer continued kneeling on his neck for two minutes after he was dead and didn't stop even once paramedics tried to attend to him. He was also handcuffed throughout the entire time they were kneeling on him.

Stop being a retarded edgelord.

[mugbull]

The only people on this forum whose intelligence has survived these retarded culture wars are Jimmy and (sometimes) Boydy. Think a few years ago people here wouldn't so easily be letting facts fly out the window in return for aggrandized self-satisfaction

[Lewis]

I originally had 'wigging out', because the autopsy presumably only mentioned the fentanyl intoxication and meth use by-the-by; but okay. I stand corrected. Racism killed him, and they were right to burn cities to the ground. But the nonce they shot reaching for a knife? Did his death justify riots? Maybe so, and maybe Trump supporters can launch another kick-off over the woman shot in their riot. Can you see how this gets stupid?

[Spoonsky]

I mean, Luca’s right. Problem is that neither side is willing to give an inch at the moment. Progress will come if Democrats start actually trying to win rural voters by addressing their concerns, but the rampant classism in the Dems means that might be a few years away still - and in the meantime half of those voters are utterly convinced the entire party is made up of Communist pedophiles.

At the same time, I just can’t believe that you guys don’t see the difference between the protests of the summer (let’s grant for the sake of argument that they were violent, unjustified, and did burn cities to the ground, whatever that means) and breaking into the seat of national government on the very day that your guy is to be officially voted out in the exact same building.

[Spoonsky]

Bernie would have won.

It’s a funny situation where he’s the exception to the classism I mentioned above, and his policies would be best placed to win those rural voters. At the same time those screams of COMMUNISM across all conservative media would have been so loud I’m not sure he would have been able to get through to them.

[Luca]

I agree with the second bit of Lewis’ point, actually. Both forms of violence are reprehensible and the double standard being applied to them is bad.

I just think that comparing the triggers and calling them equal isn’t fair. The perceived disenfranchisment itself in isolation doesn’t lead to storming the Capitol without the trigger of “they stole the election, defend yourselves” from the literal POTUS, which is a claim that is knowingly baseless (i.e., Trump knows it’s baseless, even if Rudy believes) and meant to stoke anger. The other set of riots were in some sense a loosely organized reaction to a set of events, and those stoking the flames were individual wally grassroots community leaders. It’s different when the order seems to come directly from POTUS, who should be held to a higher standard. And yes, I do think the casual defense of people burning and looting cities by local politicians wasn’t right either in the summer.

In summary, one of these events could likely have been avoided if the POTUS wanted to. The other event relied on individual grassroots organizers to not stoke the flame. One of those groups should be held to a higher standard, but the outcomes are equally bad.

[Lewis]

I'm willing to hold the President of the United States to a higher standard than fuckwit 'community leaders' and celebrities, but not the senior/famous Democrats who are on record boosting their preferred violence. They are all in the same pile.

[Spoonsky]

But you understand this wasn’t just any normal riot, this was a riot aimed at disrupting the transition of power. It was a threat (however impotent) to the functioning of the democracy. (Mikem explained well above.)

Trump also incited armed Republicans to invade the Michigan statehouse during the summer and nobody gave one-thousandth of a shit. It’s just apples and oranges with what happened on Wednesday.

The outcomes are not equally bad.

[Pepe]

The potential outcomes are definitely worse for what happened this week. The actual outcomes go the other way though.

[Bernanke]

So, in addition to the Twitter ban for Donny, the entire far right media ecosystem seems in the process of being dismantled today. Bannon's Youtube gone, Flynn and Ben Garrison are also off Twitter, Parler is getting blocked in both Apple and Google's app stores, etc.

The tech bros had a Zoom-meeting and flipped the switch.

Weren't the summer riots all about disrupting institutional power (democracy itself insofar as it bolsters white supremacy)? I hope they were, otherwise they were even more stupid than I thought. In which case your argument is merely one of symbolism owing to it all being concentrated in one very important place. That is a good argument, but things like private property and the rule of law are as symbolically important as the bollocks shop on the hill, so you still end up doling out arbitrary favour based on what you happen to like.

[Spoonsky]

I mean, the summer protests were decentralized and had a variety of demands, from “down with the US government” to “stop shooting unarmed black people please”. A lot of it was just raw anger from people who’ve seen the same thing happen one too many times. There was no single goal in mind.

Meanwhile the mongs who mobbed the capital literally told reporters that their goal was to “save America” and keep Trump in power. And they had been organized that morning by Trump himself.

It’s not just about symbolism (it would be if they had chosen any other day for it), it’s about elections and peaceful transfer of power. Democracy only works if the losers admit that they’ve lost, otherwise you’re on a road to authoritarianism (left or right).

Private companies can do as they please of course.

[Jimmy Floyd]

I think people misunderstand 'freedom of speech'. He has freedom of speech, Twitter decided having him exercise it on their platform was not what they wanted, so they took him off it. He can continue to exercise freedom of speech on whatever platforms will hear him. The state isn't putting him behind bars for his speech. That would be when freedom of speech was compromised.

[Lewis]

Twitter was claimed to be a 'public space' when he was blocking people from viewing his content, so it's hard to see how this doesn't end up with them accepting publisher status (and all of its liabilities). It's a decent first test of the corporate state.

[Jimmy Floyd]

I blocked him in 2017 or so as it's all so boring. I'm sure I've missed some crafty quote tweet zingers from British comedy writers as a result but I'll survive.

[Lewis]

That's another issue. What about the ecosystem that lives in his replies? What about their mental health?

However decentralised, the goals were taken to be the goals of the umbrella organisation[s] to and through which all of the institutional and financial support flowed (which are mental/revolutionary). Plus muh property/rule of law. They are directly comparable, and you can only avoid it if you diminish one and/or boost the other.

[randomlegend]

Idk how you're meant to "re-enfranchise" a bunch of racist morons who will actively and vociferously work to make their own lives worse provided it ensures nothing improves for a single person they deem unworthy.

Apart from being a racist moron yourself, ala Trump, obviously.

[Shindig]

The biggest thing I take away from Trump's presidency is how it's completely changed his brand. I used to see him as a retarded rich guy who built golf courses, talked at dinners and got deals done. As a politician, he's been an agitated, cantankerous shit who'll take everyone down with him.

Works both ways.

There'll always be mong extremists on both sides. America's problem is the mong racist white people make up a big enough proportion of the population that they can elect their "God Emperor" as president.

[Pepe]

And the mong racist white people on the other side make up a big enough proportion that they can take over school systems, rip them apart, and get applauded for it. See NY system, San Diego system, UC Berkeley, etc., etc. That shit will have a much larger (negative) effect than anything Trump did.

I want to see trump with a pistol in his hand, waving it around in the presidential office refusing to leave. Chained to the radiator and everything. It seems like he has now gone soft and threw in the towel.

[ItalAussie]

Apparently (because who really knows), he's sitting in the White House stewing and getting angrier and angrier. I suspect he'll end up trundling off and trying to start his own social media network (which he should call "Trumpet", obviously), but there's time left for one last twist I suppose.

[Giggles]

What’s all the guff about nukes? Surely multiple people should have to sign off on that, though it’s a mental enough system that it wouldn’t surprise me.

[ItalAussie]

I agree. Even if he theoretically could give a unilateral order, I don't think he has enough cachet now that nobody would run interference.

The only thing I could see happening now is impeachment. Which could be important, as if it passed the house and the senate, Trump wouldn't be legally allowed to run again.

[ItalAussie]

[Lewis]

Sending out the first batch with a blatant alias like 'The Rightful President', and then moving to things like 'Mohammed the Patriot' as they lock him out of various frequencies.

[Lewis]

It's not entirely clear that he can just launch a nuclear strike for a laugh (or that it would have to be done), but making a big deal of it at this stage does reveal that much of the OUTRAGE surrounding him has been a performative/signalling show. If you are genuinely capable of convincing yourself that he might nuke somebody as a sign-off then you're probably not of sound enough mind yourself to be legislating on the matter. And that's before you get to the whole circumventing the chain of command issue. The sacred chain of command, crucial to the functioning of democracy.

[Mellberg]

Yeah, I heard all that shit and thought the same. He can't just type in 'Georgia' and then press his big red button and wipe out however many thousand square miles. Someone, somewhere will have an override and go "fuck that, Donald".

All been good entertainment though. Biden has an open goal for being remebered as a bit of an A* prez, simply because he's not Trump. Just needs to calm everyone down and keep the child abuse to a minimum.

[Shindig]

Depends on which Georgia he nukes. Putin might back him.

Yeah, I agree fully with this. The "BUT HE HAS THE NUCLEAR CODES" is a tired rhetoric. Fox News rolled it out for Obama after he used a selfie-stick in the Oval Office. It's absolutely performative, unless we live in the universe described by Mellin above where he gets a big red button and a crosshair (and even then I reckon he'd need someone's help), and even then. It's quite offensive in its silliness, actually.

[Spikey M]

I presume it takes more than one person to launch a nuke, even if that person is the President. It must take a whole unit to ready the fucker, tell it where it's going and atleast a couple of people to "press the button". I thought it took keys being turned at the same time in different places.

They've spent decades building the mystique. This is the natural consequence.

The Democratic Party just want to take him out of the picture for 2024, which is smart. That and, rightly, more than a few of them probably feel that he tried to incite violence against them personally and want to make him pay for that. This is definitely where the anger from the Republican side is coming from. Senators and Congressmen being locked in their offices for 3-5 hours, hearing reports of gunfire, and being told not to open the door for anyone probably wouldn't leave them in a very friendly state of mind. I think we can't ignore the fact that it just got very personal for a lot of people.

[Luca]

I agree with you, but I think that’s actually the more powerful narrative to be pushing (i.e., demonstrating that the crowd wanted the blood of anyone who doesn’t agree with Trump, Democrat or Republican). The nuclear code stuff just feels like they’re pandering to win the court of public opinion (which, outside of the same MAGA idiots who supported the storming, they largely have - so what’s the point?).

To be honest, if anyone should be crowing the personal violence narrative from the rooftops, it should be Pence. Him being on the fence about impeachment and/or invoking the 25th Amendment, when the crowd was explicitly chanting about his death and Trump’s personal lawyer said he should be put to a firing squad (you what?), boggles the mind.

[ItalAussie]

All reports suggest that Pence is absolutely furious, but I presume he's trying to walk the delicate line between wanting to lash out and prepping for a 2024 Presidential run.

Obviously a lot can change between then and now, but he's got to be the strongest candidate they have, and he won't want to risk messing that up. It's still crazy that over half the House Republicans voted to throw out the election results. Things aren't normal there.

You've clearly learned that from movies!

The whole situation is so combative. Does anyone have any time left to govern and actually do something for the betterment of citizens rather than play the political stabbing game?
It's hard to believe there was ever a time in history when Nixon was pardoned so the country could just move on from it all. "It could go on and on and on, or someone must write the end to it. I have concluded that only I can do that, and if I can, I must." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pardon_of_Richard_Nixon

I just can't fathom anyone doing something like that today, the gap is that wide and hatred that strong.

[niko_cee]

As an extremely casual outside observer politics in the US seems to have been one side trying to thwart/undo the previous doings of the other side for much of my lifetime [to almost the exclusion of everything else - I appreciate this is, to an extent, true in all systems]. Certainly the last 20 years. They became hostages to the margins years ago (mostly the evangelical mob or gun nuts) and their national politics seems to reflect that (even though polling often suggests a plurality of Americans want better healthcare, better gun control and all the things us outsiders think are reasonably normal).

I was having this discussion the other day and came to the conclusion that they need a Tony Blair type figure to [properly] try an win the middle/people from the other side [to the extent that they basically torch a lot of their alleged base] and/or some sort of constitutional 'crisis' to flip standard party divisions on their head somewhat (a la Brexit in the UK). Maybe if Trump's mob start an actual war with their guns then the second amendment could become that issue, but I doubt even full scale conflict between the followers of Trump and the US Army would be enough to shift that particular object. There would always be the argument that this is exactly the sort of thing the second amendment was designed to protect against. :cab:

[Disco]

The thing that gun nuts never really address is that any sort of armed conflict (muh militia!) between them and the US army would end with them smeared thinly across whichever state they decided to make their stand in. It's what renders that particular bit of their rhetoric completely empty, they would lose hard and (until last week) it seemed obvious that they knew it and would therefore never actually start anything.

[Ian]

[Disco]

Granted law enforcement are a shit show but, despite their propensity for dropping bombs on their own side, the 82nd Airborne et al are a different matter. But then I don't know at what stage they would be used in the event of an actual armed rebellion, they might just use the National Guard in which case all bets are off.

Did the Republicans ever try to / want to impeach Obama when they had the house?

I don't know enough about the caaahnsti-tooshun to know if getting a blowjob under the table is an impeachment-worthy transgression.

[Lewis]

It will be a giant seethe process of executive orders reversing previous executive orders with the odd impeachment thrown in, and the hundreds of stiffs reduced to doing what they can to keep Afghanistan going. You could probably sustain that under the current system, since it would ultimately work for everyone (or at least the Grown Ups) and the 'progressives' could just sub-contact their domestic agenda out to Facebook and the United Fruit Company, but if they tilt the balance then there won't be much left in it for the really red places and it could all easily fall to bits.

[ItalAussie]

The impeachment was for perjury, or lying to congress, or something of that ilk. One fun side-consequence is that it's basically the last time anyone answered a meaningful question in a political setting with anything other than "I do not recall".

They never impeached Obama, but he kept squeaky clean when all is said and done. If you can't plausibly link them to a crime, then there's no point.
