What does a TRUMP presidency look like?

[Monoriu]

Trial by combat?  I refused to believe he said that, so I looked it up.  He really said that.  Just WTF

This giant mecha combat would at least be popular among the anime fans.

Most live action adaptations of anime suck, and there is no reason to believe this will be an exception.

I really hope they thoroughly search the scaffolding under the inauguration staging, as it could have been quite easy to plant an explosive device in the countless miles of metal tubing, during all of Wednesday's mayhem. Obviously one or two small devices couldn't bring down the staging, but it would be enough to interrupt the ceremony.

Also, anyone else worried about having all of those thousands of National Guardsman around the inauguration events at the Capitol, how many of them might be sympathetic to the trumpists?

It would only take a few seconds for one of them, to loose off a magazines worth of rifle ammunition towards the ceremony and the gathered crowd of dignitaries.

Mike Pence basically the unofficial acting president now.

Two years ago:



Back then it looked ridiculous. Now it seems somehow latently evil, like something out of a creepy horror movie.

Handing out hamburgers is just a matter of style.  I mean if Trump were competent and honest, this would be played for laughs.

I truly think we will be lucky to avoid assassinations.

Those weren't hamburgers.  They were something called "hamberders."  Not sure what those are, but BK wasn't amused that he packaged them in BK packaging.

What if the last two month's performative theater is all to get Trump bragging rights over Biden on size of inauguration crowd?

Mismanaging a pandemic to say you had bigger crowds

[celedhring]

Well, it looks like Trumpites are planning on bringing in the crowds themselves.

Amazing pivoting in action

Quote from Rudy when questioned about his call for "trial by combat" at that rally

So let me get this straight - he's calling for a trial by combat, as seen in that famous documentary Game of Thrones, only between machines?

Would that be more like Robot Wars? Only, if he loses he's only "embarrassed", but if the other side loses, they go to jail?

Even as a fantasy, this sucks. 😄

Robot Wars had Lister from Red Dwarf at least. 

Maybe Kryten and Rudy could fight i t out?

I don't think we have to worry about more trouble from Trump now.  He is extremely busy as he only has a couple of days to put the finishing touches on his game-changing, soon-to-announced health care plan.

I've just realised we're out of time for Infrastructure Week
