American Impeachment/25th Amendment Watch 2021 - If, at first, you don't convict, try, try again

Well, I know you saw it on the internet, so it must be true, but could it be that someone fed you a retarded premise and you did literally nothing to check the claim?
Couldn't be; you're a very smart person who always does the research. You could definitely deboonk this reuters deboonking with hard facts and numbers. Show me.

When I heard the 133/155 million number I was so dumbfounded I went and web searched it. The search engines were filled, utterly FILLED, with one "fact check" after another about this subject. Why does the tech oligarchs really want me to read this "fact check" I wondered. But then I confirmed numbers were actually true. The "fact check" is just propaganda that uses an "estimated" number for this election, which is nearly double the registrations of the last election. Weird, I don't remember a baby boom occuring 18 years ago.

There were 133 million registered voters in the 2018 election. This number is not up for debate.

Your argument is that number nearly doubled in two years.

*sniffs glue*

Yeah that makes sense to me I guess.

also

The claim uses an average of 62.5% for the different “reported turnouts” to calculate the figure of the “133,500,000 registered voters” that voted. This percentage is lower than the voter turnout reported by multiple media outlets, including Reuters (estimated at 66.9% by Edison Research, here ) , the Washington Post (66.3% , here ), the New York Times ( 66.7%, here ) and CNBC (66.8%, here ).

Boomer woman on C-SPAN said Trump "is a godly man." Trump will be 78 years old in 2024, the same age as Joe Biden currently, but Trump like a true American eats fast food so I don't know if he'll run again.

Trump will most likely die from a heart attack in a suburbs KFC after surrounding himself again with people who will watch him die.

 

[WhimsicalTrolli]

So MSM used "the very fine people" quote out of context but when the trump team uses unedited videos of the dnc calling for violence it's now "blatantly edited".

Okay, so show your work to the class.

There were 133 million registered voters in the 2018 election. This number is not up for debate.

Oh, you're not very bright, are you? Doesn't take a lot of experience with politics to know that off-year elections have fewer registrations and votes. I guess if you had paid attention in 2014, you might've known, but that was before your first election so aiight.

Here's the 2016 statistics: https://www.census.gov/data/tables/time-series/demo/voting-and-registration/p20-580.html
Total of all 69 sexes: 157,596,000 / 224,059,000 VEP.
In 2020, there were an estimated 206,557,000 / 239,247,000.

Spoiler: quick maffs

(207 - 158 ) / 158 = .3101, so about a 31% increase on registrations paring with a (239-224)/224 = .0669, or about a 7% increase in total VEP.
158/224 = 71% registration in 2016; 207/239 = a whopping 86% registration rate in 2020. Of course, as the article lays out, there were massive drives to register lots of people.
At 2016 population amounts, 71 + (71 * .31) = 93.01. If we adjust in the most grinding and simplistic way possible to account for that VEP increase, 93 - 7 = 86.

More importantly,

Your argument is that number nearly doubled in two years.

You are very bad at math. Nothing came remotely close to 'nearly doubled' between 2016 and 2020, which are the contests you should be comparing.

I can't quote your quotes so let me ask you this:

The claim uses an average of 62.5% for the different “reported turnouts” to calculate the figure of the “133,500,000 registered voters” that voted. This percentage is lower than the voter turnout reported by multiple media outlets,

Yes, the article is saying that your "133M" is calculated with an incorrect variable. Did you have trouble parsing that?

Apparently people filed a lot of reports about getting stickers, revenge stickers, sticker notifications, and all the assorted sorts of faggotry that could be resolved if people either disabled sticker notifications OR grew a spine.

The only proper response to such complaints would have been "go be a little bitch somewhere else."

Congress got $2b for election funding, which is good

Doesn't congress also partake in practices such gerrymandering to maintain control over a district? I find it very baffling that individual congressman/woman can have net worth of millions but for some reason a good portion of these districts are poor.

Nope. States set their own congressional districts: https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/geography/guidance/geo-areas/congressional-dist.html
The congress determines the amount of seats in the house each state should get based on the census every ten years, then has the states themselves figure out how they want to split their shit up. Gerrymandering is a local thing. That's also a red herring, since the $2b congress gave was to various states' electoral commissions, the people in charge of running shit on the ground. Like that Georgia guy who released footage of the SFA thing.

They don't get paid by their district, and net worth isn't based in temporary income but rather long-term accumulation. Congress can only vote for pay raises going forward, but most of the net worth comes from the revolving door problem, which has absolutely not been solved to any degree despite many attempts to do so.

It’s worse than that. If they really don’t like you, your district will be gerrymandered out of existence.

Gee, I ddn't know using blatant big tech censorship in conjection with progressive congressional leadership as a way to control information sounds kinda illegal and borderline rigging, don't we have a bill of rights for this? Or does that apply to the victors, because I sure as hell don't see it being applied to them.

Its not illegal if you change the rules to make it legal, rethuglikkkan!

Hopefully? Ideally this shit lasts until 2022.
Imagine the Dems unable to pass any new laws because the Senate is too busy voting whether or not to Press S or Press F on Trump's empty seat.

Seriously though is he in peach or fucking not there are like 6 peaches sitting in the crisper and I dont know if it is safe to eat them or not

 

[Tour of Italy]

The managers still haven’t explained how exactly how Trump would have used a mob of idiot boomers to overturn the election results. What did they think he was expecting? Is there some clause in the constitution that I don’t know about that says if your dudes break enough lecterns then suddenly you’re the president again?

Typically coups occur when actual force can be leveraged and sustained to get things changed in your favor, not from fleeting disruptive bullshit.

They keep characterizing it as a power grab as if the election results were really in any danger by January 6th. They would have gained more traction if they had just said he was lashing out angrily and clumsily; hell that better fits how they’ve been trying to characterize him the past 4 years anyway. As it stands though, even if he did incite the mob, and they could prove his goal was to harm congresspeople specifically (it obviously wasn’t, dumbfucks) they’re pretending like that would have transferred power to him instead of more assuredly turning this into a criminal treason trial instead of an impeachment.

This whole thing is a moronic attempt to punish Trump one more time before they can’t anymore. I’m glad the defense showed the clips they did, because it revealed how one sided the idea of political speech is and how the impeachment is a naked attempt to punish the idea that you can question election results. Unless of course your fucking Mark Elias or Stacey Abrams or the entire fucking DNC for the last 4 years.

Since the Senate filibuster hasn't been removed not much legislation will be passed anyway. That's why Biden did as much as he possibly could by executive order to bypass a Congress that will basically be deadlocked for the most part.

Hasn't Democrats been running on eliminating the filibuster for years now?
