Imagine that, people are pissed that they are trying to take away their healthcare. If they end up repealing it and not replacing it with something better, midterms will be interesting. It's one thing for uninformed folks to say they want Obamacare repealed, it will be another when they realize what happens when it is.

As Friday approaches, the thought of him refusing to repeat the oath of office as prompted seems more real.
It's a thought that I've had for a while.

"No. I'm not going to say that. I have better werds. They're fanTAStic werds. Ask anybody. Ya know what? Let me tell you something... "

I don't know what put that into my head in the first place, but all of the un-Presidential things he's done as of late makes me think it's a real possibility.

So, if he does that, does he get the boot?

Well, if he truly swears to uphold the constitution in his oath of office he runs into this: http://www.npr.org/2016/12/23/50668...olating-the-constitution-on-day-1-lawyers-say

I think if you read between the lines on a lot of the COI discussion, it sounds like we might be in for an avalanche of legal challenges and lawsuits over these possible COIs in the coming years since we've never had a President who gets most of his income from his personal brand & his stake in these hospitality/real estate holdings.

that article sounds like an hour after dump takes his oath, he'll be handed a lawsuit. like the article says, if he isn't divested before the oath, he's in violation of the constitution one second later. impeachment will be impending.

Wow!

From the grave of a suffragist in upstate New York to the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Ala., and the Brandenburg Gate in Germany, President-elect Donald Trump has quite a welcome committee: An estimated 1 million people plan to demonstrate in all 50 states and 32 countries.

In the U.S. capital alone, the National Park Service has issued permits for 25 separate events the weekend of his Jan. 20 swearing in as the nation's 45th president. It’s a number that’s “pretty well unprecedented” relative to past inaugurations, said Mike Litterst, a park service spokesman. “The biggest issue is merely finding space for all of these groups that allows for a meaningful demonstration,” he said.

I've envisioned something more like the final scene in the Blues Brothers movie when they get handcuffed.

one can hope. maybe there needs to be an emergency session at SCOTUS. a ruling that says that he is, in fact, in violation of the constitution and is therefore NOT the president. of course that makes pence it. which would in the long run be worse.

I've said before, nothing Pence or any other republican could do, couldn't be undone once out of office. Some of the shit Trump may stir up, can't be undone. You can't undo a nuclear strike or provoking a war.
 
You guys have been watching too much television.

I don't doubt for a second that American politics will continue to be vile and disgusting, be dramatic, hurt millions, etc.

But I don't think that any scripted deus ex (legal/political) machina will emerge.

There are too many elected folks who benefit vastly more from pretending that everything is acceptable. It hasn't been acceptable for a long long time.

So Trump's big healthcare plan is to let companies sell across state lines? Wow, how original and so won't work. One state will totally deregulate health insurance in order to attract the big companies and they will all flock there and end up selling shitty insurance to unsuspecting consumers just like the credit card companies did. Not to mention having more insurance companies in medical billing will be a nightmare. So everyone will pay for what they think is insurance and be shocked when their yearly physical costs them $1000 out of pocket.
