Lawrence O'Donnell: Secret Service could ‘physically remove’ Trump from White House when he loses in 2020
By Avery Anapol - 08/11/18 01:34 PM EDT
MSNBC host Lawrence O’Donnell detailed his predictions for the end of the Trump presidency on Friday night, suggesting that the Secret Service could physically remove President Trump from the White House.
Appearing on Bill Maher’s “Real Time" on HBO, O’Donnell said he thinks Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) will defeat Trump in 2020.
“The most likely ending of it is when Elizabeth Warren, or whoever the Democratic nominee is, beats him in the next election,†O’Donnell said.
“You think if he loses the election he will just greet her at the door?†Maher responded.
O’Donnell said that no matter Trump’s response, the chief justice of the Supreme Court will administer the oath of office to the new president on Inauguration Day.

A week or so ago I posted an article in National News outlining the President's activities in one 48 hour period. I discovered later in the day that this article had been moved to "Members Only" because it had no news value.
But this is posted -- in the premier Politics Forum. What, pray tell, is the news value of this drivel?

I don't recall the thread, but the odds are it wasn't the original topic but the pile-on on by detractors that caused it. Probably not personal.

What may not have news value to you may be of value to someone else.
Personally, I'm not interested in propaganda articles telling me what a great guy Trump is. But as with anything else on here, we can always avoid threads we don't like. No one has to read or comment on everything that is posted here.

Yes, and it's so nice of them to be there for us and offer a cyber-towel (to clean up the bloody aftermath)......lol. It's truly a thankless job (been there, done that).

The value? High volume feed of Trump-Negative material. Period.
Aber Herr Trump, der Fuhrer, wil not leave.
Cheech and 'Chong reported smoking reefers, with Baron and Melania, in the rear garden of Mar a Lago.
The Donald was sighted sneaking a drink, in his golf cart.

Actually, this particular story has entertainment value. First of all, the thought of Elizabeth Warren running for the Democrats gives me the giggles. She's as much of a has been as Hillary.
Second, if I remember right, there were rumors that Obama wasn't going to leave when his term was up and that he or some people on his behalf were planning, at least a year before, to get him a third term.
Rumors and a lot of wishful thinking.

I hope this comment wasn't referring to me @XenaLee I'm simply trying to understand what our standards are.
Why, for instance, wasn't this article posted in the Entertainment Section? It is, after all, a segment from Bill Maher's television show. Why give such drivel credence and importance by placing it in the Politics NEWS section?

Step away from the cliff...
Not everything posted "negative" about Trump is to bash Trump. Just perhaps it was posted to illustrate the left going well off the sanity chart... It is also useful to know the latest meme of their insanity.
Some stuff, like this, also has good entertainment value at just how far gone they are. It will end badly for them. There is no other outcome for that sort of insanity.

I got yelled at enough when I was a teenager. As an adult, I'm really not into it.... so I try to behave. Better late than never. :laugh:

But, there IS a lot of negative news about Trump. Are you suggesting that people shouldn't post it?
-
Back to the thread: I wouldn't be surprised, if he lost, he would contest the election and keep contesting it the rest of his life. He never lets go of even of a minor conflict, if he wins OR loses.

I reread that thread I think he meant the "HOP" not the hub. Well, you can rock it you can roll it
You can slop and you can stroll it at the hop.

@truth_seeker
Here you are again with the BS claim that TBR is “Trump-negative.†Yet recently, when I counted up the articles in Editorial and presented you with the fact that “Trump-negative†articles were a small minority, you ignored me. Maybe because it’s convenient for you to have that baseless excuse to throw around?
Sorry, but the credibility of your accusation is shot.

I DID NOT ignore yu, but rather said "editorial" alone was not a valid measurement. Somebody else agreedwith my remark, and there it stood.

I never saw a response.
Why wouldn’t it be valid? Seems to me it would be as representative of the forum in general as any other area.

You must have ignored other posts that did NOT agree with your premise about this being a Never-Trump forum:

Sigh.. back to the topic of the original post... it is kind of funny how the story stays the same, just the players change every few years or so... I recall similar stories about Obama and Bush, both of the opposite sides had people making similar speculation. Never happens. Always a peaceful transition.

The closest we ever came to that was with Clintons.
They had to sue them to get back what they stole when they were evicted.

If I have to hazard a guess, I think this goes into this Category because the line between Maher and the other so-called comedians and "news journalists" has been blurred considerably over the years. Both groups consider themselves to be Social Justice Warriors, fighting for the cause of destroying Capitalism.

Those peaceful transitions will be a thing of the past the moment an ex-President goes to jail. A truly criminal President will refuse to leave office if he/she thinks there is a pair of handcuffs waiting, rather than a life of luxury.

There really isn't precedent for that though. Constitutionally, the most that can happen is impeachment with removal from office. Only then would he then face some sort of criminal prosecution.

Are you telling me @Victoria33 that I've no right to communicate directly with my fellow Briefers? Quite a suppression of free speech and exchange of opinion you've got going here. **nononono*

After January 20, when a President leaves office, there is no such immunity granted.

You are incorrect. I seldom respond to RIV as I have her on Ignore.

He was gracious, I'll give him that. However, we have to stop with the gracious descriptor if we go back to Clinton. I can't imagine a more infantile and obnoxious exit than theirs.

Lol! Let's put it this way.....
you can't deny that you have, in the past, been one that censored content here, whenever you had the power to do so.
The fact that right here in this thread... you called this article drivel... indicating that you would probably censor this one as well.... IF you had the power to do so.... basically just proves the point.
Instead of just passing up certain threads, you (and others here) feel a need to comment on the thread being "drivel" or whatever other slur you find appropriate. I've seen you denigrate the person posting the thread, including Myst herself.... for merely having posted it.
That kind of mentality is something I take issue with. Just so you know.
