fwiw he’s confident Trumps got nothing

emu i cant wait for him to go to jail

i mean. i don't trust that necessarily because he fucking got impeached and nothing happened

sammywhatammy: he says he’s dead certain there’s nothing trump can do. Verbatim “I really think we are in the clear”

here, let me share the conversation

Ok here we go haha this took more screenshots than I thought it would

there you have it.

And regarding the impeachment thing, even if you get impeached that’s not the same thing as being cast out of the office. he’d have to have resigned voluntarily (like Nixon) or actually convicted, and neither thing was the case. And the senate acquitted him.

.... which is one of the many reasons the run-offs in Georgia in Jan are going to be so immensely important

If we get both remaining seats we deadlock with republicans, and the VP is the tie breaking vote :’) god would it be amazing to actually get real, helpful legislation passed without republicans stonewalling everything at every turn. (like they did with Obama.)

we could actually succeed at passing legislation for term limits, or approving additional covid stimulus, or ... at actually convicting trump :’)!!!!!!!!!

so I’m trying to stay optimistic. everything is breaking in our favor rn. we just have to get through the next two months and win Georgia...

Having Congress be able to actually pass legislation... the fucking dream... god I hope we get Georgia

god, same

can you imagine if we finally reversed all the racist, discriminatory gerrymandering the GOP has gleefully tried to destroy the electorate with ... betcha we wouldn’t see a republican president again for a long damn time.

i'm just hoping this momentum keeps up, we've done really well kicking ass and making our voices heard, but like... this is just the start, this is just letting the battle happen

With proper representation I think you’d see democratic candidates get a massive boost

i fucking hope

ghosthotel: yea, honestly. Georgians have the fate of the country in their hands rn.... all we can do is keep campaigning and supporting the Dems in the races...

Speaking of, we should all go donate to the cause

DrFishbone: hee hee this is totally OT but it makes me weirdly happy that someone in this world still calls me emu

anyway same

heartfuls oh no, i get that stuff, it's exactly the acquittal that i was talking about. the GOP let him get away with everything

Look pip is a good name and all but. Emu.

It’s classic. Timeless. Like a rolls Royce. Or a Twinkie

sammywhatammy: oh shit I’m sorry! I definitely read you wrong aaaa gomen...

in that case no you’re right, for sure. And honestly I can’t blame you for being concerned. I honestly still just have this gut feeling of terror thinking he’s gonna find a way to steal it somehow before Jan even with my brothers reassurances lmao

it’s an absolutely reasonable fear. for me personally I’m just ... kinda trying to stay hopeful that even if he does try shit (and he already has) it just won’t work out period.

Did you see Tucker Carlson saying “we should be honest” about the election results? FOX NEWS has turned on Trump. Fox News! His personal megaphone for four years! MAGA loving Fox News devotees must be experiencing the wildest cognitive dissonance rn.

I hope it’s just another sign that the fool has all of his support crumbling beneath him and everything he tries will get slapped back in his face. Not because that’s the right thing to do, but so all of these nasty ass repubs can salvage their reputations by pretending they never supported him lol. doing the right thing for the absolute worst reason...

DrFishbone: I hate you for how much “It’s classic. Timeless. Like a rolls Royce. Or a Twinkie” made me laugh god dammit

I'm the funniest person you know don't deny it

IT'S OKAY i was unclear
