I must admit that halfway through this my thoughts digress to, "what if we got together a group of friends in the Spud Lounge and held a weed fueled multiple hour spitball session to start the next big thing in the Quniverse". Imagine the joy in seeing your fantastical story adopted by the sQuirts of the world!twocoach wrote: ↑Tue Dec 20, 2022 10:44 am https://www.reuters.com/investigates/sp ... ontgomery/
Interesting read.
I wonder who asked them to stand back and stand by? Seems kind of important.KUTradition wrote: ↑Thu May 04, 2023 11:03 am tarrio and three others found guilty of seditious conspiracy

Doesn't seem long enough for someone who plotted to overthrow our government and prevent the peaceful transfer of power. But, it's something. Long enough to be a deterrent?KUTradition wrote: ↑Thu May 25, 2023 12:57 pm rhodes gets 18 years for his tourist visit to the capitol

Now, we can start laying bets about how republican presidential hopefuls in '24 not named "Trump", (and if he loses, again during the 2028 primary), will answer the ? of whether or not they will pardon people convicted in relation to Jan 6?
Can a republican who doesn't answer "yes" get the nomination?
Well this probably goes in another thread, but...DeSantis is now out there saying he'd pardon Trump for 1/6 (and, presumably, other stuff).KUTradition wrote: ↑Thu May 25, 2023 2:18 pmit’ll be interesting to see what tarrio gets in light of thisFeral wrote: ↑Thu May 25, 2023 2:13 pmDoesn't seem long enough for someone who plotted to overthrow our government and prevent the peaceful transfer of power.

though, if trump or desantis are elected it seems a forgone conclusion that they’ll all be pardoned (that may very well be the case for all pub candidates)
my first thought is that he’s pandering to trump supporters and the base at large, rather than trump himselfjfish26 wrote: ↑Thu May 25, 2023 2:42 pmWell this probably goes in another thread, but...DeSantis is now out there saying he'd pardon Trump for 1/6 (and, presumably, other stuff).KUTradition wrote: ↑Thu May 25, 2023 2:18 pmit’ll be interesting to see what tarrio gets in light of thisFeral wrote: ↑Thu May 25, 2023 2:13 pm

I knew the guy wasn't so bright, but that's a new level of dim. He needs to differentiate from Trump, not pander to him. DeSantis has as good of a chance as Trump in the general election (which is to say, not a very good one) if he's obviously just a proxy for Trump.
You cannot kill Trump by appeasement. You cannot expect him to gracefully hand over his base. If you beat him in the primary, there is not a promise you can make to him that will cause him to support you in any way.
And if you're out there saying "a vote for me is a vote for Trump"...you're as dead in the water as he'd be.
Oh for sure. But if Trump is able,* he'll mount a third party candidacy or otherwise find a way to hold the R nominee hostage. In my opinion, there isn't a promise you can make that will cause him to NOT kill you; the R nominee really can't afford to lose ANY Trump 2020 voters, so him even peeling 5% of them off would be fatal.KUTradition wrote: ↑Thu May 25, 2023 2:43 pmmy first thought is that he’s pandering to trump supporters and the base at large, rather than trump himselfjfish26 wrote: ↑Thu May 25, 2023 2:42 pmWell this probably goes in another thread, but...DeSantis is now out there saying he'd pardon Trump for 1/6 (and, presumably, other stuff).KUTradition wrote: ↑Thu May 25, 2023 2:18 pm
