Thread: Insurrection Act Signed?

Trump has such huge opposition right now I'm not sure it would be obeyed if it was signed.

There is a very profitable conspiracy industry. People sell books, gold, guns, food and many other things based on fear. The profit motive cannot always be easily discerned but some folks out there are milking the current situation for all it's worth because, well, in about 10 days the gravy train stops for them one way or another. Get it while you can I suppose.

For one I don't think Trump can prove that a foreign entity impacted the election. For another thing I think he would get pushback from the Republicans who would worry that he was taking the party down with them. For another thing, I think Trump knows it would prove disastrous. Trump needs to just get off the stage and let the Republican party try to regroup and make a comeback in 2022 and 2024.

I'm not sure he has to prove it via the standard legal process, that door was shut long ago, the courts would not even entertain evidence. Since it looks to be a military matter it looks like a military decision, if they have the goods they can make the move and prove it later. This is just thinking out loud of course as I am not a legal scholar. There are a lot of "what ifs" here. To me the issue of the Bidens receiving millions of dollars from the Chinese is the most troubling. I don't see how that can fly under the radar.

That is way beyond hiding...but sadly, could easily be dropped and walked away from.

Trump is the Republican party, if they try to bum rush him out they will never make a comeback.

The GOP is doing their best compromise dance at the moment. Many wish Trump would just go away...but you can't make this movement he built go away. Maybe this is why Biden is quiet on the impeachment. He has no idea what he just stepped into.
