Ask a Canadian Lawyer: Since US Law (Amendment 14) is clear that Trump’s actions on Jan 6 prohibit from taking the Oath of Office and serving as President, then no order, treaty with Trump would be valid.

The swearing-in is invalid until 2/3rds of Congress approves his Oath. His signature is worthless.

What will Canada do? JD is a valid Vice President, kiss HIS ass.

Yes but he’s an evil man, too. Who else would DT choose?

Citizen Jones's avatar

What, Who else? No. Its Vance or Trump. You must choose one.

A moronic insurgent criminal madman who wants to outdo Hitler, or a Yale law grad with a Hindu wife and biracial children

Understands the law, and won’t go to war with Canada.

Vance acted like a mini-Trump to reach the VP slot.

If you and your best friend were given a shit sandwich and a chicken sandwich, would you complain that the chicken isn’t free range, so you two eat the other option?

That’s why our broken political and media system has enslaved us.

And DT cannot “choose” anyone. He chose Vance to be Vice President, who by Law becomes President when there is no President.

That’s the situation in 10 hours.

Or we suspend democracy and Rule of Law, and embrace authoritarianism.

Those are the facts 😕...but how do we get rid of God of the Oligarchs... question for another day...

Citizen Jones's avatar

No, Answer for today:

All Oligarchs? Convince them to take less and share more.

As for Trump? Here’s the only option: JD Vance must convince Trump to take the “Better Deal”, allow Vance to be Acting President, not announce that he Repealed the 14 Amendment, or relaunch his Jan 6 Insurrection to finish the job.

Wanna know what the Better Deal Includes?

Trump’s Better Deal

In exchange for retiring to Mar a Lago and not destroying America:

Full Pardon for all past and ongoing crimes;

$10 Billion a year pension;

$10 Billion a year for 10,000 staff, security, guests, to produce the highest rated Reality TV show in history: “Your Favorite President Trump”;

Trump has immunity to do whatever he wants on his show;

He gets an annual Lifetime Achievement Award at the Emmys to a standing ovation.

That system is broken. Trump broke it, so help avoid violence, civil disobedience?This is being able to clearly understand the issues and options. This is a payoff because he won the election. This gives us a chance to fix social media and disinformation which has enslaved us.

This is a real, authoritarian dictatorship we are now facing. They disappear people. He’s a moron, but he proved one path to power is be and do the worst things possible, all the time.

I’d rather keep him in a fishbowl set of Mar a Lago. He’s going to don't anyway. We are an Idiocracy.

I find it funny that American news says "Trump wasn't accused of any wrong going" in regard to the Epstein case. But everyone else is guilty 😆!!! The POS is so transparent to me. He is a gangster pedophile that has run from the law his entire life and somehow the lame minds of America think the guy is God. The behavior is so bizarre

Wayne Drury's avatar

Hey Pete. I was going to ask, "how are you doing?" But from your expressed anger and hate, it is evident that there is not much happiness in your life. That is too bad. I suggest - there is absolutely no problem with disagreeing with a statement, of course, with reasons for disagreement. However, crossing the line and attacking the messenger is a symptom of someone living a very poor quality of life and blaming everyone else rather than looking in the mirror and asking, "How can I make my life better." Best wishes, Wayne

I'm actually disappointed that the focus is puppies and kittens and not the man who should truly be honored today and raising money for those causes. Meidas could have done something much more meaningful in honor of MLK. That would have really sucked the air out of the room. The rage against Trump is getting tiresome. I'd prefer a more meaningful alternative on an important day such as this. I'm disappointed in this choice and would rather put my focus on work being done in honor of MLK. Missed opportunity Meidas. Hopefully you do better next time.

Well—the rage against 🍊should NEVER STOP, until 🍊 leaves office. Has all the suffering he has caused over? All the children separated from their families and put in cages, the many women he has assaulted… I don’t need to go on. He is a convicted felon.

Meidas do better??? What universe are you on? Maybe you don’t need to be on the Meidas universe.

I am not religious but I recall that Jesus exhibited just anger when he threw the money changers OUT of the temple.

Ben et al, don’t change your course. Now that 🍊is in office we need your rage 😡 even more.

❤️ this idea very much - but please consider giving donations raised to local 5013c shelters instead of the Humane Society of America. I worked & volunteered at 501c3 animal shelters for over 20 years & am still a volunteer- we never saw any of the $$ from the HSUS. Much of the $$ goes into the pockets of the executives NOT to the animals in need. Google it. Don’t believe the ads. Please give to local shelters who are experts at making every dollar count. Thank you so much for thinking of the animals.

ASPCA operates in a similar way to HSUS. Most of the money received lines the pockets of executives - although they may have great ads very little of the money raised went ro actually help animals. Check Charity Navigator for non- biased reviews and good/bad scores.

I have read guidance in multiple highly credible social media channels to turn all your TVs on all day and watch the cooking channel, or HDTV, or the YouTube channel. Your TVs will be tallied in the Nielsen ratings as on but not watching the inauguration. Wouldn’t it be great if there was only a 20% or less viewership?

JoyceTX's avatar

I actually thought that too but have done a quick google search and found that streaming services are now included

If you're wondering whether streaming services are included in Nielsen ratings, here are the key points to consider:

1. Nielsen has expanded its measurement to include streaming services.

2. Streaming platforms like Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime Video are now part of

Nielsen's ratings.

3. Nielsen tracks viewership data for both live and on-demand streaming content.

4. The ratings help advertisers understand audience engagement across different platforms.

5. Nielsen's streaming metrics are integrated into their overall TV ratings reports.

6. The inclusion of streaming data reflects changing viewing habits in the media landscape.
