Congress has the power to block Trump from taking office, but lawmakers must act now, thoughts?

That time (Jan 6, 2025) has passed. Trump is an adjudicated insurrectionist (as well as an adjudicated rapist and a convicted fraudster), and therefore ineligible to hold government office, according to the constitution, but there's no way a Republican would dare not to confirm his win. Also, Trump's SCOTUS declared, without any authority, that congress would have to pass a law before excluding Trump.

Your best bet are the midterms, but there are people already suggesting the elections shouldn't happen.

[exitseven]

If Trump can pass his big beautiful reconciliation bill I am pretty sure the Republicans will gain ground in the midterms.

[NatalieKeller95]

it shouldn't happen because america is now complete safe, and secure, why jeopardize that with future elections, we can't afford anymore democrat wreaked destruction, we must permanently safeguard our nation and our future from any further internal threats

[goaded]

@NatalieKeller95 Does anyone actually agree with your anti-American fascist nonsense, or are you just trolling?

[genericname85]

they do theoretically have that power but only if very particular criteria are met. cause imagine they could just do that on a whim. the votes would be a joke. well they are either way but you know what i'm trying to hope, i guess xD

[NatalieKeller95]

Congress will do no such thing, otherwise it may come to an armed standoff, if congress acts against our president, we the patriots will retaliate, WE WILL NOT BE BULLIED BY CONGRESS INTO SUBMISSION, they will respect the choice of us Patriots and peacefully allow trump to take office, or it's WAR

[msc545]

Yeah Yeah, keep ranting and trying to show us how tough you are, little girl.

[NatalieKeller95]

@msc545 you democrats aren't a threat, start training for war now, show us how menacing you are on the battlefield, with your legions of leftist degenerates, we'll crush you like a bag of pretzels

[msc545]

Whines the child who has never in her life fired a shot in anger.

[NatalieKeller95]

@msc545 and you have?

[Ez-Bri-Z_v2]

Wishful thinking but it's never gonna happen and we will be stuck with that pompous oompa loompa for president for 4 years messing up everything in this world.

[NatalieKeller95]

he's going to be fixing all the messes from the last 4 years

[Ez-Bri-Z_v2]

Whatever you need to tell yourself to sleep better at night.

He won't be fixing anything other than the laws to make his donors richer and to screw the rest of us over.

He's already backing away from his promise to fix grocery prices saying that it's too hard, but now he wants to take over Greenland, the Panama Canal and Canada? How in the hell is that a "last 4 years problem?" He has no intentions of doing anything other than vanity projects for himself.

[NatalieKeller95]

what about US military Stabilization of Haiti, it's a mess over there

[NatalieKeller95]

we should also make a deal with Putin over acquiring Siberia, I'm sure he doesn't want it

[Ez-Bri-Z_v2]

And what is he gonna do about it besides leave it a mess?

[NatalieKeller95]

he's going to stabilize it with the power of the US military

[Ez-Bri-Z_v2]

So the party of "let's stay the hell out of other countries problems" (like the Ukraine, Palestine and Iraq) suddenly gives a shit about Haiti? Make up your damn minds.

[msc545]

Try not to listen to that crazy woman.

[exitseven]

Imagine what would happen if they did block him somehow. ? A lot more than a million angry voters would show up on their doorstep. They would not be as peaceful as they were 4 years ago I imagine.

[goaded]

They weren't peaceful four years ago. We saw it, remember?

[exitseven]

@goaded There was over a million people there. If a couple of hundred broke a few windows and rammed through a door they got off lucky. Very lucky.

[goaded]

Not that many and thousands broke in. We saw it, remember?

Besides, how many violent people injuring 140 police officers is acceptable? Democrats say zero.

[goaded]

Federal officials estimate that about ten thousand rioters entered the Capitol grounds, and the Secret Service and FBI have estimated that from 2,000 to 2,500 ultimately entered the building.

[exitseven]

@goaded yes we saw it. It was a couple of hundred. Over a thousand were hunted down by the FBI and thrown in prison that never entered the building. They were outside, some were across the street even.

[goaded]

Get back to me when you can admit that there weren't "over a million people there".

[goaded]

Go look up how much space a million people take up.

[exitseven]

@goaded there were over a million. Trump warned them and wanted 20000 National Guard troops. The FBI spent millions investigating every single person that was there. 4 years later they are still arresting people

[goaded]

Do you remember when Trump called the insurrection a "heinous attack"? ↗

[goaded]

Again, go look up how much space a million people take up. The Ellipse is 251,160 square feet.

[NatalieKeller95]

if they did manage to get away with blocking him, we would begin shelling congress like fort sumter

[NatalieKeller95]

@goaded those were federal agents dipshit, man you got to stop taking it up the ass by CNN

[exitseven]

@goaded How many people participated in the Million Man March in 1995?
Also , who is buried in Grant's Tomb?

[msc545]

@goaded Assuming a person needs roughly 2.5 to 4.5 square feet of space in a tightly packed crowd, 1 million people would take up approximately 2.5 to 4.5 million square feet, depending on how densely they are packed together.

The Ellipse is far too small.

[msc545]

@NatalieKeller95 uh huh - where were you going to get the artillery ( you do know what that is, right?) ?

[exitseven]

@msc545 They were in DC. They all were not at the ellipse.

[goaded]

@NatalieKeller95 There were no federal agents in the mob.

[goaded]

@exitseven Apparently the crowd was probably getting on for a million people. This is what the crowd looked like.

[goaded]

That's the million man march, in case that's not clear. That many people turning up on a Jan 6 would make lawmakers consider their position, even if they were totally peaceful.

Jan 6 2021 was a tiny fraction of that number.

[NatalieKeller95]

@msc545 we'll get it, don't worry about where we get it from

[NatalieKeller95]

@goaded how much is the DNC paying you to say that, it was all a federal operation to make trump look bad, he never told any of his supporters to break in and smash windows, you're getting too much anal from CNN, I'd like to prescribe you some Fox News for sanity

[goaded]

@NatalieKeller95 I can't work out if you're a troll, misinformed, or an absolute liar. It's probably all three. A few thousand supporters standing outside the Capitol peacefully wouldn't have affected anything going on inside; he sent them to stop the certification, so he wasn't asking them to stand outside the Capitol peacefully.

And it's Russia who pays people, and for "opinions" like yours.
Should we just assume all conservatives are funded by Russia? ↗

[NatalieKeller95]

@goaded the democrats should have listened to him and stopped the mail in ballots like he ordered, he is the president, if he doesn't want mail in ballots to be used, then they need to stop using it, the democrats were very defiant towards trump in 2020 and did not listen at all, they had to pay somehow, the more the democrats act like a rogue organization, the more they will be vulnerable to attack by the righteous patriots

[goaded]

@NatalieKeller95 The president has no say in how states run their elections.

One pretending he does is a threat to US democracy.

[NatalieKeller95]

@goaded who are you to decide what the president can do or not? we the MAGA patriots run this Nation alongside our glorious president Trump, give up democrats this is one fight you are going to lose badly, bow before Trump and our national glory

[goaded]

@NatalieKeller95 The LAW decides what a president can do.

[NatalieKeller95]

@goaded not if we expand the power of the executive branch, and shrink the legislative branch

[goaded]

@NatalieKeller95 Dictatorship. Got it.

[msc545]

Just so you know, Natalie Keller is actually a bot.

[goaded]

@msc545 I thought AI had got better than that.

[msc545]

@goaded Maybe it is a cheap AI?

[Anonymous]

Why do you keep bringing this up? It was never going to happen.

[seeyounexttuesday]

lol, what a threat to democracy!

[Jamie05rhs]

"grounds for objection

[Jamie05rhs]

" grounds for objection to an electoral vote: If the electors from a state were not lawfully certified"

You're just proving that Pence was wrong and Trump was right.

[goaded]

That would be why states where the fake electors (the Trump team's term, not mine) are being prosecuted if they didn't include the magic words that said they would only be the electors if Trump was found to have won.

Trump did not win any of those states.

[Jamie05rhs]

So they fucked up by not including those words.

[goaded]

No, they fucked up by being part of a scheme to steal the presidency.

[Jamie05rhs]

Lol. Biden is the one who stole the presidency. But okay.

[goaded]

No, he didn't.

[Jamie05rhs]

Lol. You can believe that if you want to.

[goaded]

Biden got by far the most votes, and the most EC votes. He won.

[Jamie05rhs]

You think he got the most votes because that's what was reported. They covered up the fraud. (And you choose to ignore it because it goes against the result that you prefer.)

[goaded]

How else do you know someone got the most votes?

[Jamie05rhs]

You never can know, if the election isn't conducted properly. No one will ever know. That's the point. That's part of the scam.

[goaded]

Sure, all those Republicans running the elections lied and made up extra votes for Biden.

[Jamie05rhs]

It didn't happen in Republican districts.

[goaded]

No. Nor in Democratic ones.

[Jamie05rhs]

Try again.

[goaded]

US elections have been more or less the same for decades; there hasn't (apart from partisan gerrimandering, hello NC!) been cheating on anything like a scale that could affect a presidential election.

"Under the new congressional map rushed through the legislature on a party-line vote, a balanced, 50–50 map that reflected North Carolina’s purple state politics was transformed into one that could elect as many as 11 Republicans and just 3 Democrats."
