The GTP Unofficial 2020 US Elections Thread

[UKMikey]

I blame the Irish.

Whiskey?

So much for the revolution not being televised btw.

 

[NotThePrez]

Not sure if this belongs here or in the funny/strange news thread, but apparently a Capitol Rioter who texted about shooting Nancy Pelosi on Live TV (and was arrested for the threat and some weapon charges) was featured on, of all things, The Smoking Tire YouTube channel, where they showcased his 800HP 2JZ E39 M5 in 2017.



Actual car review starts at 1:05

Spoiler: Light Language Warning IIRC

I'm probably stating the obvious, but it really goes to show how cars very much attract people from all walks of life.

 

[Keef]

Well that's unfortunate. Rad car but I wouldn't be friends with him it doesn't seem like.

"she can't be guilty because a normal American could never get in touch with Russian intelligence."

Same levels:

"Trump can't have committed a crime because he's too smart."

 

[ryzno]

Now, can we get back to this?

Sure, everyone is happy their guy won and everyone else is acting like a child. Mind you it's been kinda quite here from one side. I do recall "not my President" posts 4 years ago here.
Let's just all keep it honest and say we're screwed.

Damn autocorrect!

If only that was the problem.

 

[TexRex]

Whiskey?

Well it was a malted chocolate shake with Jameson, except it ended up being just about equal parts Jameson and...everything else. It was good but it kicked my ass.

"People were rappelling up the side of the Capitol"?

 

[Famine]

Sure, everyone is happy their guy won and everyone else is acting like a child.

Wh... what?

Firstly, if "everyone" is doing something, there's no-one "else" left to do something different.

According to the GTP poll at the top of this thread, only a third of people voted for the guy that won - and according to comments in this thread, a lot of them did so as a vote against Trump, so he's hardly "their guy". I don't see anyone particularly happy that the USA has come down to voting against your own preferences for a mid-right, authoritarian, creepy elderly white dude in order to stop a lunatic from having four more years of Constitution shredding.

Who's the "everyone else" that is "acting like a child", and where are they doing it?

I do recall "not my President" posts 4 years ago here.

Yes, there was a series of protests about Trump's election back in 2016-17 (and who could have known just how bad he would turn out to be? The predictions were bad, but he managed to hit depths no-one thought possible), and they were referenced on here as news. I don't really follow what this has to do with anything.

 

[Tired Tyres]

Is the number of pardons Trump is issuing unusual? The type of people getting them unusual?

 

[Liquid]

Is the number of pardons Trump is issuing unusual?

His Presidency has issued fewer than almost any other.

The type of people getting them unusual?

There it is.

 

[Rossell2]

I don't need to say anything more.

 

[Famine]

I don't need to say anything more.

Indeed. What a sulking brat:

It's like it's someone else's birthday party but he wants presents too, and if he can't have them he isn't going.

Just the small problem of what to do about the 74 million who wanted him to stay.

Surely Crayola can manufacture 74,000,000 packets?

Unsure about that. They might not like all of the colors.

There's a long chain of American leadership at the executive present at the inauguration - Clintons, Bushes, Obamas. Trump being absent makes him look illegitimate.

Petulant. The word you're looking for is petulant.

 

[Touring Mars]

If Trump's twitter account was still active, he would probably be crowing about how many more people turned up for his inauguration right about now.

Nah, he'd still be on the "I WON THE PRESIDENCY! 75 MILLION LEGAL VOTES! ILLEGITIMATE SLEEPY JOE!" phase of whining at this stage I think.

Um, the idiots at the Capitol the other week...

 

[UKMikey]

Um, the idiots at the Capitol the other week...

Now this I can agree with.

 

[Famine]

Um, the idiots at the Capitol the other week...

Right... so... when you said you were "sitting back laughing at y'all", you didn't mean people here on GTP, but insurrectionists at the Capitol.

Start with that next time. Context is important.

It is great that neither Trump or any of his rancid family are there.

Trump's absence also means that the biggest arse present at the inauguration was J-Lo's.

 

[Rossell2]

Mr president, madame vice president.

 

[Danoff]

you didn't mean people here on GTP, but insurrectionists at the Capitol.
