Nobody is going to secede. This is a silly discussion.

It is ridiculous. These States would be leaving the most powerful country in the world to form a 2nd rate, sh*thole country. Without access to air travel, Alabama would have to play Auburn about 12 times.

I doubt it. Too much of a click-magnet for the BrosJo to get rid of.

They might re-title it, though.

It will be retitled as the "Official LRC, Loser Trump" thread and hang on for a few more months.

Trumpers wanting pardons from Trump because they believe they were answering his call? The irony of these dummies believing that Trump will break with HIS tradition and actually help them, coupled with the idea that by requesting a pardon they have indirectly provided proof that Trump is indeed responsible for the nonsense on Jan. 6, is incredible and oh so sweet.......

Reading the comments that these nimrods believed that Trump was ordering them to do what they did makes me wonder what would occur if any of these knuckleheads are called to testify in an impeachment trial or even a criminal trial.

Now that I think about it, as a practical matter people might want to be starting (multiple) Trump threads for at least some months, which would clutter up the first page of the list-of-threads. Better to keep things limited to a single thread, so there's room on the first page for other topics.

No idea what the admins will do with the thread, but it seems really unlikely the Trump presidency ceases to be a hot topic of conversation on LRC and elsewhere well after he officially leaves office.

That said, they did delete the 2016 campaign super-thread.

Since he doesn't have a an outlet to get his messages out anymore, after the Senate trial, he won't make daily news.

Not surprising given the number of Nat'l Guard troops there.

What a winner

Well, 538's poll-of-polls disagrees and gives him 38.5% approval, still not the lowest of his tenure. But perhaps there'll be one more iteration tomorrow morning.

Good ole Rasmussen has Trump at 51% approval right now.

Up from 47% the day before and day of the Jan 6 insurrection riots.

That helps drive up 538's average.

Pew Research has Trump at 29% approval.

I don't know about people just believing what they're told. The idea that Antifa was behind the riot is ludicrous and of course there is no evidence to support it. I don't even have a theory to explain why that could make sense to some people.

Those antifas infiltrated peaceful protesters to discredit the patriotic protest and make Trump supporters look bad. What's so hard to understand the logic?

Does it make any sense that Cesar Sayoc was a Democrat disguised as a Trump supporter? Or Hillary Clinton was running a child trafficking ring out of a pizzeria basement? How about Obama trying to enforce "communist sharia law" by appointing a Zionist agent Elena Kagan?

Those Trumpers reaffirm their tribal identity by sharing those outrageous theories. The crazier the better for them because that means they are more committed.

I want to formally thank the very diverse voters of Detroit, Milwaukee, Atlanta and Philadelphia for saving our country from Trump. We have seen over the past 12 months, his total dishonesty and incompetency, as a leader !

I'm just going to put it out there that not all of the drop is due to him inciting violence. For the record, he's been doing that for a looong time. Part of poor approval rating is that many trumpers sensed he threw in the towel and they lost hope. Someone needs to be blamed!

You should be thanking women. If it were left to men, we'd have Trump forever.

I was pointing out that Trump's approval went UP with the Rasmussen poll since he incited violence.
