Donald Trump, the first lady and their son Baron may leave the White House they day before incumbent president Joe Biden is inaugurated, the New York Times is reporting.

We have not verified this independently, but White House correspondents Peter Baker and Maggie Haberman write that, “The first family has discussed leaving the White House for good on Jan. 19, the day before the inauguration.”


Hopefully they're marched out a week early.

Other countries in Europe and East Asia have done just fine without having a 2nd Amendment. That said, as long as it hasn't been repealed, we have to observe it to some degree in order to be consistent with the principle of rule of law.

That sounds authoritarian as fuck. No thanks, I narrowly avoided living under a government as dictatorial about a day ago.

This is why Biden's gonna have a very difficult time clamping down on the crazies. The crazies have eyes and ears in law enforcement, which is known as ghost skinning.

Elsewhere the Wall Street Journal, seen as a leading voice of the Republican establishment, also called on Trump to vacate his office.

In a Thursday evening editorial, the paper called on the president to resign rather than face impeachment or a forced removal under the 25th amendment.

“This was an assault on the constitutional process of transferring power after an election,” the paper’s editorial board wrote of Trump’s actions on Wednesday. “It was also an assault on the legislature from an executive sworn to uphold the laws of the United States. This goes beyond merely refusing to concede defeat. In our view it crosses a constitutional line that Mr Trump hasn’t previously crossed. It is impeachable.”


Impeached or resignation, taking all bets..

That's the last time Schumer calls for security to unlock his office at three AM because he was too lazy to bring his own keys in. :p

You really are defending an angry mob trying to kill Chuck schumer? Really? I mean do you think this is funny? Cause most other people here regardless of political affiliation do not. Someone was killed yesterday because of what Trump did and you're laughing.

Yup.

If I remember correctly, he is the guy who blocked legislation that opposed defunding the police earlier in 2020.

I saw the WSJ did release this article though I couldn't read much given I'm not paying big bucks for a newspaper that cost money. That said, I think they were the first editorial board calling on Trump to either resign or be impeached. Could be wrong.

Hmm, I'm not sure what to wager, however.
