It's sad but sorry does seem like something you'd see in a cheesy American comedy film

There is such a hardcore base of support. Biden doesn't sort the economy and it won't take much for them to make a resurgence. Pre-Covid the key election issues at the beginning of the year were the economy,healthcare, national security and education. Vote was enough anti-Trump rather than...

Not just the Presidency the Republican party need him out the way before next year's Senate elections. danger remains that a more "intelligent" (and possibly even more right wing option) takes over. Hawley springs to mind.

About 10 teams could be interested. Texans saying he won't be traded so in NFL-speak "could be traded but not for cheap". Most likely price is for a starting QB, 2 1sts and something mid-round. No starting QB then 3 1sts. If he really becomes available then it'll be a bidding war. Young,proven...

All these desertions whilst hardcore loyalists gather in the White House with a floundering leader does seem to have a historic comparison - a certain bunker in 1945?

Ulterior motive somewhere. Possibly threat of more damaging senior resignations? Realization he could be legally liable for his actions?

I see Iraqi govt have issued an arrest warrant for Trump this week for the drone strike.

He's really very good. No real obvious flaws or off-field questions about character or behaviour. But biggest challenge will be playing behind O line unlikely to be that good and up against a different level of lash rushing than he's seen before. Ohio really challenged him a strong D line and...

Odds could be shifting. Candidates for new head coach job seemingly just shortened as it'll be one of Lamonte's clients. Watson has apparently been saying he'll ask for a trade if he's not happy with choice. It's a big contract for first two years but very team friendly after that.

It would end up at the Supreme Court as Constitution doesn't specifically address self-pardon. Nixon was advised he couldn't self-pardon. Trump is convinced he can because no-one is brave enough to tell he can't. This is now a Conservative court with strong Constitutionalists. Recent rulings...

one ray of hope - Lin Wood permanently banned from Twitter apparently

sadly you see it all the time, How many videos do you see uploaded and your first reaction is "why didn't they do something to help" rather than film it?

like those new right wing tv channels now saying pictures prove antifa were in the building. No it was pictures from an antifa website that had previously identified the 2 people concerned as right-wing extremists. Those 2 extremists were the ones then pictured inside Congress yesterday

45% of registered Republicans support yesterday's actions in a YouGov poll today. Law & Order Party :)

So I guess the plan for a last minute resignation and Pence then to pardon the Trump clan is pretty much dead in the water :)

Odds on trump pardoning all those arrested yesterday as it's an area under federal law??

Americans stuck with 2 problems. 1. The Russia investigation for the 2016 election (which benefitted Trump) introduced the concept of electoral interference/manipulation on a large scale. 2. The variance in the way 52 states allow votes to be cast and counted allow for the fears/insecurities...

Having used curfew etc. to get new infection numbers down here we've now got the inevitable Xmas "rules relaxation" spike as new infections apparently up over 300% over last few days.

That and how they are playing to the huge numbers of Republican voters who believe there was a fraud of some description. Becomes self-perpetuating as these doubters now validate their viewpoint by saying the President and large numbers of Congress agree with them.

Any actions taken against Trump over the next few years (and there is a sizeable backlog of cases to address) will be claimed to be politically motivated by his supporters. And whilst the Senate sorted out the objections last night in a fairly universal manner the House Republicans still backed...
