I don’t think storming the Capitol was planned by most. It sounds like there were a handful of instigators that got the crowd lathered up.

Maybe not planned by most, but definitely planned by too many.
Out of curiosity, do you have a personal standard where you think that any continued objections to the outcome of the election are unwarranted? Like, do you have an idea on what it would take for you to be satisfied with the outcome?

I also don’t believe anyone set out to kill anyone, besides maybe Nancy Pelosi...:eek:

However, regardless, it wasn’t a smart thing to do. You can’t condemn destruction and condone it later. Like I said, if the government is willingly being deceptive and the election was rigged, I support Revolution and targeting government property, but until it is a known fact, we must wait before acting out.

Like that's the genius's plan? One that depends on (a) him being able to and them letting him park his car right in front of their little house, (b) all of the guys being there in the house and not anywhere else, (c) all of them being in and remaining at waist level and not hitting the floor immediately when the first shots go off, (d) him being able to access his keys, and (e) that machine not misfunctioning for any number of reasons.

It was just so stupid. Realistically, that plan has like, what, a 10% chance of working? Why not just turn the car into a massive bomb and ensure everyone goes down? Why not launch an attack that isn't expected. Surely he can figure out a way to circumvent those dummies' shitty surveillance system.

Todd is the only one of the nazis who hits the ground just so Jesse can have his hero moment
Jack somehow survives long enough for Walt to deliver one last line to him and kill him

So dumb

I'm going to watch El Camino just to see if anything comes of the money Todd has from Walt.

It makes sense Walt would think of something like that but for a show that at least felt SOMEWHAT grounded in reality... it was like something out of a fucking shitty 80s action movie.

That scene felt like the writers backed themselves into a corner and couldn't think of a workable out that allowed Walt to free Jesse but also get what he wanted from the situation.

They literally did write themselves into a corner there. When they showed the gun in the trunk at the end of the previous season, they didn't know how that was going to end yet. It was just some shit they thought looked cool.

That's the show right there. Cliffhangers and suspense above all else, then write some ridiculous bullshit that makes no fucking sense for the character in order to make it work. Dude was a chemist and that was the best they could think of? They didn't even need to show the gun in the first place.

Show should have ended here:

It felt like a logical conclusion. The same way McNulty standing on the bridge felt like a logical conclusion for The Wire no matter how much I wish they'd do a season 6 of that show.

So was Hank. How Hank didn't get written up for the shape he was in as a Fed is... yeah.

Even though I believe the election was certainly compromised, without any proof, I would accept it as is, by January 20. I don’t mind Trump using every legal Avenue to assure a legitimate election, but once his measures are exhausted, I would accept the results.
 
I honestly had never even thought about the fact that Donald Trump, as reward for spending 4 years lying and engaging in open corruption, will get $219,000 a year for the rest of his life as his presidential pension.

That's infuriating. It's a drop in the bucket compared to his debts, but still annoying.

I’d be surprised if he accepted it.
 
Trotsky said:
Why?

There will be no political utility in donating it nor will there be the option to offset the loss by exponential gains in self-interested transactions like he did during his presidency.

Because as you said, it's a drop in the bucket compared to his debts and he needs to maintain the illusion that he isn't having any financial issues for his supporters.

That makes sense within the span of his political career. But that's not gonna last forever. Also, his supporters won't care just like they don't care his looting the taxpayer coffers during his presidency.

I frankly don't care. I don't get why former presidents earn such a large pension and still get tax paid security their whole damn lives after leaving office.

Some potential benefits of impeachment even after inauguration are that it would make him ineligible for the pension and other benefits, as well as preventing him from running for office in 2024.
