“We’re going to have two presidents.” -- (link) - mud Nov 12, 15:45 26
- Sure ... why not ... - ReluctantCornucopia Nov 12, 16:20
- When I lied this much, I definitely was in for a spanking. -- nm - Qale Nov 12, 16:15 9
  - I don't think the first paragraph is a lie. Remaining the titular head of the GOP has two benefits. 1) claim any prosecution is politically motivated - crash davis Nov 12, 16:17 8
    - That isn’t what titular means. I think they were going for figurehead. And they’ll dump him immediately after his usefulness ends. Jan 21st, 2021. - Qale Nov 12, 16:24 7
      - Who is going to dump him? He got over 70 million votes. Who else has that power in the GOP? - crash davis Nov 12, 16:27 6

        Hellmuth? -- nm - Reagen Nov 12, 16:43
        
        I assume you are operating under the assumption he is getting away Scott free on all of his crimes and debts and everything? -- nm - Qale Nov 12, 16:33 2
        
        He'll face investigations, and time in court. But debts? If he can maintain control of the GOP, he has an out there. -- nm - crash davis Nov 12, 16:46
        
        right? -- nm - mud Nov 12, 16:41
- It's the little bit of racism they sneak in at the end that really pushes it over the top. -- nm - David Nov 12, 16:04 7
  - I don't think it is racism. I think they think Joe isn't really going to be calling the shots. -- nm - crash davis Nov 12, 16:08 6
    - high on their own supply. -- nm - Reagen Nov 12, 16:10
    - Sure, and AOC gets called out because of her youth and vigor. -- nm - David Nov 12, 16:08 4
      - AOC gets called out because of socialism. They want to oppose socialism, that is a winner. Opposing moderation is not so much - crash davis Nov 12, 16:13 3

  - aye. -- nm - mud Nov 12, 16:00 2
    - he's only got power in as much as people pay attention to him. And Fox? Done with him. CNN? fucking duuuuun with him - Reagen Nov 12, 16:08 1
      - This might be the best real world example of Dig Up, Stupid. His flailing since the election has ruined whatever mystique he had with many. -- nm - David Nov 12, 16:13
- another American traitor right there, I would line him up before Dobbs. -- nm - Jovian Nov 12, 15:46
