Too little too late. Probably a deep fake video anyway because he's to out of his mind to recite such a script.
Guys an ass. #25thAmmendment

Cruise turned down Brad Pitts role in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Tarantino wrote the character specifically for him. Now that was an all time screw up. It was over scheduling, but it Tarantino offers you a role, you put everything else on hold and do it.
Wow, didn't know that. I gotta say, I think Pitt fit the part. Older, washed up, working class dude, kinda going nowhere in his life. I felt he nailed it good. Like a drifter. Reminded me of one of his first roles in Thelma & Louise.

There is absolutely no reason to believe trump is going to behave after his "concession" last night. Who would take the word of this man? He's shown over and over again he is not fit for office and is a pathological liar.
The 25th must be invoked and he has to be removed to ensure a peaceful transition.
Apparently when Pelosi and Schumer tried calling Pence to discuss invoking the 25th, he didn't answer his phone.
I still believe something unconventional happened last night. Trump was taken out of the loop at some point. Advisers saying he sounded insane while ranting and raving to the point they couldn't get through to him.
He also refused to call in the national guard when the storming of the Capitol happened...and advisers saying he looked to be enjoying it.
He's insane and beyond defending at this point.
I think he really wasn't relenting and thinks them overtaking the building would pause the vote, giving him more time to win this. I think everyone around him felt he was nuts, and delusional, but he really thought he would win it over at the end.
I do think Pence is pissed. I think pompeo & rosenstein just want these 2 weeks to pass, mcconell probably too. elaine chao, mcconnels wife & cabinet member, resigned, apparently avoiding to vote. Curious, if she was upset the others weren't going to vote to remove him, or if she saw they were preparing to vote, otherwise if she didn't want to be singled out as one of those who voted to keep him in office and is outnumbered. We'll see.

They need to invoke the 25h. It's time.

That was atrocious. Awful. 25th ammendment needs to be invoked. Trumps gonna bomb Iran if he can on his way out. Get him out now. report last night was 'he was out of his mind' and enjoying the coup early on and had to be talked otherwise. I think he literally is not going to stop on this rigged election hoax.
It was inevitable it would end this way. I've said this for 5 1/2 years, the day he said what he said about John McCain, he shouldn't have been president. The guys an ass & an idiot.
#157 Re: The Garden » Current Events Thread » 305 weeks ago
Listening to his speach now. This dude is gonna cause civil war if he doesn't shut it. What a mess, feels unreal.
It's brutal. Did you hear him say it was "Bullshit"?
He's talking about marching over to Congress afterwards. DC might have riots later. He's still saying he is going to win and overturn this. He won't let up.
Also, whoa, this is big:

But now after this, we're going to see a severely fractured republican party going forward. The MAGA nuts (who are the real RINOs) vs the old school conservatives. My hope is some sort of true conservative party is born from this disaster of nutjobs, sycophants and traitors.
Yeah, surprised the Dems didn't win more in Nov, but it definitely collapsed in GA. I thought the pubs would win it, at least one. I think the guy who came down with Covid hurt, he seemed like the one to win. Loeffler seemed fake, and was previous appointed so no history of winning over voters. Selling her stocks lol, who'd vote for that.
Personally I felt the country might've been better off split chambers, although, doesn't think get rid of moscow mitch as Senate Majority Leader? nice... Also no more stallmates, although that could become a bad thing in pushing things thru.
Today should be interesting.
With McConell the majority leader, it probably wouldn’t have been a great thing. He’s definitely part of the revenge game and he wouldn’t vote on any appointees let alone compromise on legislation.
I agree. Thats really the biggest win out of all of this today. On the flip side tho, its possible Biden gets a bit too progressive with Pelosi & AOC becoming vocal and having a following. Its a pendulum, if it goes too far it'll swing back in 2024, 2022 will be a litmus test as well. Just hope the WH stays reasonable, but moscow mitch not controlling the Senate is big. Otherwise I had faith in Romney & 1 or 2 others (Collins, Murkowski) giving a reasonable vote now & then, but mitch wouldn't even put things to a vote.

I guess I'd go a UYI box set. Would like to hear either re-engineered or moreso alternative takes. That, plus early stripped down demo's of some of them akin to NR acoustic & piano.
A tour with another band would be great, someone like the Black Crowes or myb AIC. Something to make it a bit more interesting than just GnR. And a single on a movie soundtrack. Top Gun or Batman or something.
