Those armed forces that were going through DC residential neighborhoods shooting rubber bullets at people hanging out in their own front porches, screaming LITE EM UP BOYS!, and whoever the people kidnapping civilians in Portland are sure didnt take their oath seriously Not that it excuses it but they will claim they were just "following orders" at the time however due process will catch up with (some of) them eventually <cite>MachineJaipur posted [p:942773655] in Trump: &qu...

divot1338 07/30/20 10:39:06 AM #43:	LightBurn posted... Yes, but I saw another point raised. Speaker of the House is not an elected position. Speakers are placed by the House and don't actually have to be members of Congress It's not the ranking member of the House that is third in line for presidency, it's the Speaker. I don't know how that works as far as being active or not. Shes the Speaker until the new House convenes and elects someone. --- Moustache twirling villian https://i.imgur.com/U3lt3H4.jpg- Kerbey <cite>divot1338 posted [p:942773666] in Trump: &qu...

ScazarMeltex 07/30/20 10:39:33 AM #44:	Also, I think the fact that Trump has shit all over the constitution while the GOP stood there and laughed should tell you that they don't give two fucks about anything other than power. Also, DHS at least for sure doesn't take their oath seriously. They are the ones kidnapping people off the streets of Portland. The only way Trump goes away if he pulls this off is if people with guns are willing make sure that it happens, and since most 2A militia types are bootlicking chuds, you can count them out. --- "If you wish to converse with me define your terms" Voltaire <cite>ScazarMeltex posted [p:942773680] in Trump: &qu...

Questionmarktarius 07/30/20 10:39:41 AM #45:	Medussa posted... huh, ok. could have sworn that elections were left to the states. TIL (again) The interesting twist here is that there's no constitutional need for a popular election. The "election" could be cancelled in any given state, and those states just choose electors anyway. That'll be an interesting day. <cite>Questionmarktarius posted [p:942773685] in Trump: &qu...

Trump can declare them canceled all he goddamned well pleases. It isn't going to magically stop the states that want to hold elections. He isn't God. He's isn't King. He isn't a dictator (much as he wishes). He doesn't have full domain and control of the entirety of the states and their going ons. He has power, yes, but as we saw in Portland, the states can tell the federal government to GTFO. <cite>MachineJaipur posted [p:942773714] in Trump: &qu...
