Elaine Chao resigning means no Article 25 removal of the President.

So here's how Trump can still win

Any takes on recent events whb?

My Struggle by whb

Trump says he will not attend Biden inauguration. Surprise surprise.
I should have jumped on that bet months ago when the price was still reasonable.

Will Trump be in prison on inauguration day?

Let's hope we don't hear from whb anymore.
It would let assume that he's possible had some moments of inflection.

Because if he comes back here spouting his usual diarrhea, I'll slowly start losing hope in mankind.

According to one headline today,' former Trump communications director says President lied about 2020 election and should immediately resign '.

I guess Trump F!ked whb, holiday and a lot of other people out of hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Ouch. Must hurt.

If I had to ballpark it, I'd set the odds at +220 that he was one of the people who stormed the capitol.

Note: I'm not taking any actual wagers on that.

Doesn’t he have money in escrow with several people. I assume he’ll be back to discuss.

I'm guessing all of a sudden it isn't worth his time to explain how he was right and won't waste any more time on us ostriches.

Idk he disappeared for a few weeks after election day but eventually came back and paid me

Will be interesting to see his take when he's back on the events from a couple days ago

Trump lost Mike Matusow on twitter today Mike realised he's been fooled for four years by the look of his tweet. The mouth was full MAGA too.

I've actually been binging The Mouthpiece this week and Mike has been disillusioned by Trump for quite a while now... Also, the episode that has Jeff Madsen as a guest ways back, is quite entertaining and almost - ALMOST - makes whb sound sane in comparison

One of my friends chopped HU for a bracelet with Jeff Madsen back in the day (Jeff went on to win it)

He seemed relatively normal back then it's weird what 4 years has done to some people

I have some friends now who are still convinced Trump is going to be inaugurated it's baffling

rage on behalf the machine

revolution thank to these sponsors ft swoop

I have no idea what you're trying to say lvr, but Rage Against the Machine specifically called out Paul Ryan as the very machine they're raging against when he said they were his favourite band and they're way, way to the left of the Democratic party politically

It's hard to claim to be 'anti-establishment' if you're Trump as the leader of the Republican party and the Republican party controlled all three branches of government fully from 2016-18, and two of the three fully and the third split from 2018-20 and most of his cabinet members were swamp creatures

Biden and the Democratic party becomes the establishment when they're in office, which isn't for another couple weeks controlling two of the three branches (Supreme court is still in R hands).

They can be judged on their actions at the ballot box in two/four years.

Ha who’s next James Woods

Nvm Matusow now ranting about how BLM is 'worse' than the mob that invaded the capitol

Bit of a lull in stuff to bet on. Letlow's congressional district will require a special election but it's a safe R district

Looks like someone named Lance Harris finished 2nd to him, also a Republican, before losing the runoff so one would assume he's the fav if no one high profile runs

Matusow is a pos ex convict. Those are the people who follow Trump.
Do you guys remember the classic clip when Matusow busted out against Raymer, the year fossilman won, and started crying like the little the b!thx he is. Raymer made the comment of how it was only a matter of time it happened. Raymer made that comment because he rightfully read Matusow for the donkey he is. Unfortunately for the poker world, and for mankind, he had a lot of people who liked him and kept giving him money so he wouldn't go broke.
I'd like to know where all our friends are who were so outraged about the looting taking place during the BLM protests. Their silence speaks volumes.
There's a lot of trash on this forum. They know who they are.
Yeah, law and order. Fvck u.

I'm not as tough as I make out to be,so I fully expect one day to get beat up or worse.
But these are extraordinary times that need extraordinary words.

i'd be careful. could be interpreted as inciting violence and get you deplatformed off the internet once this domestic terrorism bill is passed

so protesting the actual people you have gripes with is not ok...but burning down the businesses of people who have nothing to do with anything is ok

logic 101

democrats went from hating the police to loving them in a matter of weeks because anything to hate trump lol

Trumpers went from loving police to killing them in a matter of hours because anything to love trump lol

Intead of defending the indefensible we play

But what about x

with x being antifa, or hunter biden's laptop, or whatever the boogeyman of the day is

It's called whataboutism lvr and it's not a real debating technique it's an idiotic tool of those who don't debate in good faith

Nobody here is saying anyone should be looting businesses or whatever, but breaking into the capitol chanting hang mike pence and bringing zip ties and breaking down barricades and whatnot to get at where the congresspeople are whatnot is a coup attempt and thats certainly not a great political stance to be taking for the alt right to be defending it 'because omg dems r worse tho'

Like they're literally killing police officers defending the capitol, the same crew that were flying blue lives matter flags

Here let me try

'Anthony Weiner was caught sexting underage girls on twitter? Well what about Florida Republican Rep. Mark Foley he was doing it too with underage boys and to his congressional pages no less that he held power over, that's even worse!'

Note, obviously Weiner is garbage/unfit for office this is just an example of using whataboutism to distract instead of defend the indefensible, which is what large parts of the right are doing now with the coup/riot in the capitol and the role Trump and his cronies played setting it up with the big lie and their rhetoric

There really isn't much to bet on at the moment beyond sweating out the remaining 'will Biden be inaugurated on schedule' bets which are obviously going to settle as yes

Imagine being Mike Pence, you're loyal to Trump for 4 years despite all his moral failings (Pence being a highly religious man), and then Trump demands you do something to overturn an election that you have no legal power or authority to do, then a mob of his supporters rock up chanting hang mike pence and break into the capitol

Anyone want to set a yes/no line on Hawley and/or Cruz being senators in 12 months from today? I feel like Hawley is in a LOT more danger of the two because of the raised fist solidarity picture with the rioters, both states have R governors so if the Senate expels them wouldn't change the balance of power as the governor of each state could appoint another Republican so it's not impossible that something could happen as more details of the riot/coup attempt become known etc

Cruz is already widely hated by his Senate colleagues and i'm under the impression Hawley is now too for putting them in danger

Not sure why these events were surprising to anyone. You gather a bunch of people together who legitimately believe that the election was stolen and a false president was being installed what exactly did you expect them to do?

Not sure how Trump thought this would exactly help things either as pretty sure he saw what was coming but not sure he can be legally held liable as he did not direct the action of the rioters.

After having the capital riot to start off the year and watching football today on Nickelodeon and seeing the Steelers down to the Browns 28-0 in the first quarter, pretty sure this is all a simulation anyway!

Donk, I don't have the programming background that a lot of people have hear, but I don't think I've been wrong once about any of my political predictions, because you don't need an algorithm for common sense and a little knowledgeable thinking.
But even I didn't expect the level of violence and anarchy that transpired on Wednesday. But you're right, no one should be surprised. This guy Trump has shown from the beginning what he is. But instead, we had to put up with hearing the fantasy of what a great President he supposedly is. You'd think intelligent people would have seen through this guy a long time ago.

I don't think some people have still comprehended the seriousness of Wednesdays actions. I don't don't think they still understand the seriousness of the consequences for Trump and his enablers that will follow.

I said a lot of heated things before, and I've always regretted them and tried to follow up with an apology. I have no regrets nor apologies for what I said in my last post.
