Witchend showed my ds and he said "the sad thing is they'll be stupid enough to fall for it"

@Roussette

Blimey. On Parler. They all think Trumpy is going to pardon them...
That's hilarious, @Roussette - from the White House Office of the Pardon Attorney! Surely they realise it's a joke?

@chomalungma

What we have seen is radicalisation.

No different to the radicalisation that takes place with other people.

This helps actually thanks. I recently found out that a not close friend believes QAnon tripe. I suspect I have one or two others on my social media.

There are various other things you can do. I sometimes go on a 'report a racist' hour on twitter. I have my own niche subject close at heart that I help with where I can. (and can sign post people to, but only if I recognise your name on mn as someone I trust)

Just in case we forget ,BBC ' trump tweets'reminds us that he has always been a fascist,racist misogynistic dangerous man.

I have followed these threads for a long time ( since the beginning!)

I said in November the men in white coats would need to take him out- that commentary was derogatory to those with mental health issues and Trump is fully aware of what he does- So I apologise.

Interesting article from 24th Nov about Trump supporters and radicalisation

Joe Biden

Our president is not above the law.

Justice serves the people — it doesn’t protect the powerful.

coffeeandbiscuittime · 09/01/2021 22:16

That last post makes it seem I used to like trump - believe me I never did! I just think it's dangerous if we associate mental health or dementia with him as he could use it as an excuse but he has always been like it and it undermines those who have real mental health issues / dementia.

@Sleipnirthewonderhorse

Trump is reduced to sharing information via the club penguin message boards
Has Trump been banned from mumsnet yet? Grin

From that article:

Horgan said the work ahead will be difficult, if not impossible. “After this election, we have to figure out what it means to be human beings again,” he said. “The challenge here is about convincing people that they are being fed a lie, but that challenge must not be seen as a threat to them. Psychologists call this ‘motivated reasoning.’ It’s about trying to find common ground, trying to find what is important to that person, then beginning to have a conversation that is not perceived as threatening their way of life, or their sense of purpose. This is already very, very hard to do, but I think it is impossible to do in the age of social media.

“It’s about learning that others don’t pose the fundamental threat to your way of life, that your existence can’t happen unless theirs comes to an end,” Horgan said. “The underlying principle here is finding what you have in common.”

Agreecoffee He may have a personality disorder like narcissism but really cant say he has MH issues or dementia. His personality has remained the same since he became prominent decades ago

That is a point.
MNHQ- can you confirm if Trump is banned? Grin

CNN saying right now it looks like Trump will be impeached! And defended by Gulliani and Alan Derschowitz.

AcrossthePond55 · 09/01/2021 23:09

Just heard on CNN that Scrotus is considering either Rudy or Alan Dershowitz as his impeachment lawyer.

Oh please, make it Rudy. Make it Hair dye-4 Seasons Rudy. Pretty please?!

As much as I can't stand Dersh, he is a good attorney. I'm surprised he'd consider it. But then again, anything for a book deal.

AcrossthePond55 · 09/01/2021 23:10

And Sen Sherrod Brown is calling for the expulsion of both Sens Cruz and Hawley.

I have no idea what the mechanics/procedures of expulsion are. But I do think it's a 'thing'.

i have been following these threads from 4 years ago, when tbh i thought he wouldnt last a year, i do dip in and out when he has a mad moment, but not posted before. can someone explain to me, and talk like you are talking to a 5 year old, can Trump still pardon himself if they put forward to impeach him on monday? and can he still pardon his family etc whilst this is going on? I am really hoping he has lost his chance, but this is trump.
