  1. No, his loyalty is to the United Kingdom. As he stated, the UK desires good relations with the USA regardless of who is President, so naturally he would congratulate Biden on his winning the election.

  2. Probably not. The election hasn't started.

  3. The US Senate approved, by majority vote, impeachment of Trump for “incitement of insurrection.” While insufficient to convict in the context of impeachment, it is sufficient for the purpose of applying the 14th Amendment.

  4. Johnson supported Trump because Trump was President. The PM supports any US President.

  5. There is no such thing as “true democratic system.” There are democratic aspects of the Westminster system, but the people do not elect their head of government, and the head of state is elected by nobody and serves for life. Members of Parliament are elected by the people, but when they put the Brexit question to the people, and the people voted to leave the EU, Parliament frittered away years trying to undo it.

  6. Actually, Trump looks like an idiot for failing to see the obvious. The sycophants around him look like idiots for trying to humor him when they should begin working on the transition.

  7. RFK Jr. is harder to figure out than Trump. He's nuts.

  8. So he’s a hypocrite. All demagogues are hypocrites.

  9. Wasn’t his career pretty much over already?

  10. He doesn’t have to “run.” He’s on the ballot.

  11. Here’s an idea: The Senate can reconsider the impeachment of Trump for the purpose of barring him from office. That would be unprecedented, so an interesting legal matter. Double jeopardy would not apply, since it is not a criminal matter.

  12. There is no rule preventing it.

  13. It’s a mystery, without precedent.

  14. This must be satire.

  15. Johnson is always enthusiastic.

  16. True, the Republican Party has trouble winning elections, but the Democratic Party also has trouble winning elections. Remember, the Democrats lost an election to Donald Trump before winning one. There was a time when the Democrats dominated US politics. That was nearly a century ago.

  17. But he isn’t a true leader.

  18. You are wrong. Garland appointed Jack Smith as Special Counsel, and he is doing an excellent job. Meanwhile, Garkand is runninf the Dept. of Justice. That is not supposed to be a political position. The real reason we are in this position is that most Republicans in the Senate refused to convict Trump on his second impeachment charges. He should have been barred from federal office then.

  19. I think the rebellion of the Confederate states was worse.

  20. I can’t imagine what qualifications you think are needd. Biden was in the Senate for decades and Vice President for two terms.

  21. No, you cannot be stripped of citizenship, unless you are a naturalized citizen. Trump is not a citizen of any other nation, as far as I know, so we are stuck with him.

  22. The electors cannot be ordered to vote a certain way. They are selected by the candidates. Biden’s electors will vote for Biden and Harris, no one else.

  23. I'm not into Swift, but I'm loving this.

  24. Not until we have a Senate which would convict.
    1
  25. The charges are in the indictment.

  26. He must have some physical impediment. I would not find fault with someone for such things. It is what he says that matters.
    1
  27. Be specific. There are many legal things which can be done to make voting difficult. I think we need federal standards for how voting is done for federal offices.

  28. She is so cool in the face of these idiots.

  29. She isn't "black." I like the way she brushed off the question. Identifying a person with a drop of African blood as "black" is a policy originated by segregationists from the slavery era. It is past time to stop the obsession with a person's color.

  30. Early voting cannot start until two weeks before the election, so I would not call this election tampering. It is, perhaps, misdemeanor criminal mischief. I expect the box will be secured before voting begins.

  31. The problem is, YT is the publisher. They have the right of free "press." No one using YT has the right of free speech in this private forum.

  32. The USA is not fascist, but Trump is.

  33. You tell ‘em, Joe! I mean Mr. President.

  34. The people have already decided that he will be the next President.

  35.  @Cityplace2711 — wrong. Most people want them both to step aside. There was a poll on that some time ago.

  36. Former President George W. Bush has congratulated Biden on his victory, and he is the only living Republican president.

  37. It’s a fair point. Are there official Democratic Party functions where violent leftist groups or individuals are welcome? I don’t think so, but if there have been, please give an example.

  38. Note that the GOP did fairly well in the election, except for Trump.
    1
  39. Anything that adds to the pressure on him is good news. As long as he walks free he is a threat to the Republic.

  40. Only the Vice President can intervene at this point, and he would need help.

  41. “British Trump” was never a good analogy. He certainly is not an idiot. The people who say that just don’t like his policies.

  42. It is a real concern. Just look at the Senate, controlled by Republicans, to see an example of abdication of responsibility. It used to be that the Senate was proud of its role as an independent part of the government with the power to act as a check on the President when necessary, even when they were of the same party. Now, they are lap dogs when the President is of the same party as the Senate majority. There are no great senators as we had in much of the history of the Senate.

  43. Johnson’s loyalty is to the United Kingdom. As he said, the Prime Minister of the UK seeks to have good relations with the US whomever the President might be.

  44. No, he is not winning in any sense. He may be pleasing his hard core supporters for a short time, but he will be rembered by history as a disreputable figure.

  45. I wanted to see this trial, but if he’s going to take down Trump, it’s worth it.

  46. In the post Civil War era, I’m sure the 14th Amendment was applied without conviction in a court of law. The Congress applied it to exclude certain members of the Confederacy from the Congress. I think the 2nd impeachment trial of Trump is relevant here. While the Senate fell short of the supermajority required to convict on the impeachment charges, they did have a majority declaring that he had incited insurrection. The 14th Amendment does not require a supermajority, or even any kind of trial to determine ineligibility. I think the majority vote in the Senate is sufficient evidence to cause Secretaries of State to exclude Trump from their ballots. They should cite the Senate vote when they do so.

  47. His supporters are probably anti-vaccination nuts.

  48. Whose, Johnson’s? It always looks unkempt. That’s his style. I don’t trust politicians with expensive hairstyles.

  49. It is my understanding that the US Dept. of Justice does not routinely release booking photos, so that may be part of the reason we have not seen photos from the federal cases. Is that correct? People are eager to see the Fulton County booking photo, but admit it: we know what he looks like.

  50. Joe Biden is President-Elect. The term does not require any formal action to come into use. It is used by everyone who recognizes that Biden has achieved a solid victory in the election.
