It’s telling that there’s no Impeachment thread on VS...

Is it Classics Season yet? Mods thanks for letting potentially controversial threads roll. We're adults here. I know Darren wants to lock Lionel's $3k used car thread more than this one.

Without Lionel's threads this places loses much of its raison d'être.

Not to mention a certain je ne sais quoi.

Meanwhile the 73 year old lying sack of orange pus snowflake is triggered by a 16 year old girl. Stop and think about that.

Look at bright side of things when it comes to this and similar threads. Folks here in OT section can keep threads going until January 2025.
With remarkable jobs reports, record low unemployment, USMCA, rising wages, and less war...President Trump is poised for yuge reelection.

Indeed if that comes to pass we can. It will be a case of a pleasure delayed is a pleasure enhanced. Gives the various agencies time to get there cases against Trump all lined up. So, he can go from the inauguration as the ex-President and straight into the arms of the authorities.

Do the secret service have to hang out in the slammer if he gets binned?

This is 2016 county-by-county election map.
President Trump counties are shown in red and Secretary Clinton counties are shown in blue.
Prospects don't look good for Vice President Biden, Senator Warren, or Senator Sanders.

Looks like someone needs a lesson or two in the concept of population density. Last I checked it's still one person, one vote, and the value of your vote isn't scaled by how much land you happen to live on. (Although the EC does tend to skew that.)

They would probably be appalled that the system they designed - in part precisely to avoid the kind of malevolent wannabe despot that is Trump - foisted on the country a morally bankrupt, thoroughly corrupt con man-cum-criminal, and the mechanism they included as a failsafe was insufficient to achieve its intended purpose.

Incorrect.

On the point of, "trying to overthrow the 2016 election", why don't the Dems toss out the fact that they are not trying to place Clinton in the office...Pence would be president. We would not be overthrowing the will of the electorate, but deeming the top of the ticket as unfit to serve, and promoting second in line (still a conservative Republican) into the office.

[HorsCat]

...why don't the Dems toss out the fact

Facts don’t matter any more, basically to the entirety of the GOP and to a good number of our fellow citizens. War is peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance is strength, and all that jazz.

Slavery. It was about slavery. This isn't even the first version of the electoral college. As with a lot of things from the infallible Framers, they even got this bit wrong.
