Oh, fuck, this isn't going to go well.

Mmmm... should get right toasty in here very shortly.

Time to break out the marshmallows.

Where are the mods for all these stupid threads?

*Shrugs* I suppose you could make a thread in Moderation.

Where are the mods for all these stupid threads?

Go see if you can find one, hurry!

Well, it's not a 'death threat' per se, it's a betting thread. But I don't think it's a bet that'll ever pay out. I think it's more likely the man's incompetency runs so deep, he'll manage to do himself in long before some hypothetical assassin, or an angry electorate, either kill or impeach him.

Pretzels anyone?

I made a joke about it being good that mostly democrats practice abortion, and I was nearly banned for a death threat. Where are the mods on this one?

Democrats are too lazy to shoot President Bush

(and here comes a mob of people at my doorstep...)

*Nods wisely*

Feel the frustration of your own threads... :p

Oh do go on - if you want your pounds of flesh, someone's got to go complain in moderation... though I think the point is that this isn't actually a 'death threat, folks... think about the OP's original post fer a second...

This will get a visit from the SS to your door. Not a good idea. Give it a rest, kay?

I bet $0.00000000001 that it'll be a suicide.

I'll bet a Loonie he gets done in by Colonel Mustard in the Study with the Crescent Wrench. Either him or that no-good Professor Plum.

I wouldn't call it a death threat. Just kinda dumb.

before this thread gets locked......

bush will NOT be impeached or assassinated

if bush is suddenly removed from office the vice president becomes the new president. and WHO is the vice president?

DICK CHENEY

no one wants that now do they?

Or maybe it'll be like in that Pink Panther movie where everyone tries to assassinate Inspector Clouseau but he bumbles through it and survives because he is so lucky and lovable. Everyone knows how lucky and lovable Bush is!

DICK CHENEY

From the safety of Europe, I will be laughing.

i dont really like bush... but no one is going to assainate or impeach him.... what the hell kind of a question is that?... honestly... do you think he will/should be impeached?....

I seriously doubt whether he will be assassinated or impeached.
1. Think of all the security that surrounds him.
2. Not being American I wouldn't know, but who was the last President to be impeached? Clinton wasn't, even though he lied to the world. Bush has done the same re Iraq and WMD's, but have there been any motions in the House or in the Senate to remove him from office?

Most likely he will be in power until his second term is over, and return to being Governor of Texas.

bush will NOT be impeached or assassinated

Oh, come, come. Who's been running the country these last five years, anyway?

DICK CHENEY

It'd just amount to the same thing anyway, just with a Prez that no-one actually voted for for, instead of only half the electorate.

Or maybe it'll be like in that Pink Panther movie where everyone tries to assassinate Inspector Clouseau but he bumbles through it and survives because he is so lucky and lovable. Everyone knows how lucky and lovable Bush is!
Not to mention clumsy, heh heh.

Fancy a bicycle ride?

Er... technically Clinton was impeached.

You think things are bad now?
Just imagine if another country has it done, you think Dubya's crazy? Wait till Dick Cheeny gets his finger over the big red button...

clinton was impeached.... but he was acquitted....

the other president to be impeached was andrew johnson... he was also acquitted, although be it by one vote.

I'm left with the memory of Stimpson J. Cat agonizing over whether to press the 'History Erasure' button...

*A jolly, candy-like button!*

its kinda funny the first page of this thread was full of people complaining about the thread, and the second was people actually responding to it....as for the question neither we only gotta wait a few more years before we've been blown to kingdome come or we elect somebody else...

Not happening.

Fancy a bicycle ride?

Are you coming on to me?

clinton was impeached.... but he was acquitted....

the other president to be impeached was andrew johnson... he was also acquitted, although be it by one vote.

And Richard Nixon gets and honorable mention for resigning before anyone could impeach him. I guess if Bush is succesfully impeached he will be the first.

Not happening.
Well, there is the third option, left unmentioned by the OP, of a "Darwinian" egress for ol' Georgie-boy... whatcha think about that one? I mean, so far, he's almost done himself in, what Three times (that we know of)?

1) Pretzels.
2) Bike ride gone awry.
3) Pushcart-thingy mishap.

I still say he pulls a real boner like suddenly looking up at the top of a flight of stairs.

*edit: I should say, while descending a staircase, at the top of the stairs.

Are you coming on to me?

Hey, you're misquoting me on the second one there... I didn't talk about Andrew Johnson. Dude, I don't even know who Andrew Johnson is - although someone referred to him when I asked, last night, whether gross incompetency was grounds for impeachment.

Possible. Unlikely. Not that I'd mind. I'm one of the select few that likes Cheney more than Bush. Not as much of a sucker for the religious right.

Oh crap. Sorry, I was doing the quote manually and screwed it up. I'll edit it away.

Point taken. I've heard ol' Dick is the "most reviled man in Washington", but I don't know what to make of that, being a foreigner and all. If it'd mean a less lopsided approach to running America, well... don't forget Neil Young once sang that "even Richard Nixon has got Soul"...

Besides, I saw that trouser-snake photo of Dick... what a swordsman!

I love you people who call him an idiot but can't get anyone to beat him. If he is an idiot where does that leave you? Besides Cheney is more conservative than Bush, you wouldn't want a real conservative running things now would ya?

Clinton was impeached. Not over Monica, who he met in private more times than his intellegence officers, but for perjury in the Anita Broderick rape trial in which he settled. Ain't it funny that the last democratic president was also impeached for lying during his own rape trial? No, on second thought, it isn't funny is it?

"Ooooo, what's a trouser snake?"

"What the hell are you waiting for? She went for the set-up. Reach in your pants and pull your cock out, bitch."

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Humour isn't one of your stronger points, I take it.

I'm not sure he read the post. He saw "President Bush," and it's on NationStates, so he went into defensive mode.

Unfortunately, I think a few too many others went and did just the same.

Ooops.

Hey aldranin, what was that thing called - the thing off which Bush somehow managed, beyond all conventional means, to take a header? Looks like an oversized carpet-mower. Help me out here.

Heh, couldn't tell you, didn't hear about that. Did he take a dive off of a golf-cart or something?

Looks like he fell off his bike a couple times, but that's not exactly rare - and he dodged a truck trailer that overturned near him.

Heh, couldn't tell you, didn't hear about that. Did he take a dive off of a golf-cart or something?
LOL no... that would be pretty funny though. It was one of those two-wheeler 'carts' that were supposed to revolutionize how people got around, but I can't remember what they're called... anyway, they're supposed to be utterly foolproof, yet Bush managed to fling himself off of one.

Like I was saying before, the man is waaaaaay more likely to do something impossibly dumb to bring about his own end, like bite the cap off his can of shaving cream and suffocate himself in an explosion of foam, or have a sudden unexpected violent coughing fit while doing an impression of a walrus with ball-point pens stuck up his nose.

I dunno, something like that. No assassin's gonna ever get close enough, and no-one's ever gonna get him impeached for anything. In some ways, he's as teflon as Ronnie Ray Gun.

Thank you ever so much. :p

Hey, you're misquoting me on the second one there... I didn't talk about Andrew Johnson. Dude, I don't even know who Andrew Johnson is - although someone referred to him when I asked, last night, whether gross incompetency was grounds for impeachment.

Andrew Johnson was Abe Lincoln's Vice president after the 1864 elections. When Abe had his brains blown out, Johnson (a Democrat) was President. In 1866, Johnson was brought up for impeachment by the Radical Republicans in the Senate for Incompetence. Please recall, this was during the Reconstruction period, and there were a lot of people in important places in the U.S. government that wanted to punish the former Confederate States. Johnson impeded that, so they tried to remove him.
He survived in office by a single vote, which narrowly avoided having Secretary of State Seward move into the oval orifice.
(Seward, of course, being implicated in some of the more interesting conspiracy theories as a co-conspirator in the Lincoln Assassination...)

Bush won't be impeached for one, simple reason: Unlike Clinton, Bush hasn't perjured himself in a criminal investigation under United States law. ("International Law" is more of a gentleman's agreement than something enforceable, and it's doubtful one could make a strong enough case without militarily conquering the U.S. first.)

AS for assassination, Reagan broke the "00" pattern by surviving an attempt early in his term. The Secret Service would have to seriously drop the ball for George to be taken out by a lone nut assassin.

I love you people who call him an idiot but can't get anyone to beat him. If he is an idiot where does that leave you? Besides Cheney is more conservative than Bush, you wouldn't want a real conservative running things now would ya?

I think that the idiot keeps winning because birds of a feather flock together...

I've closed this thread before, stating that this gives too much room for things to go downhill. Even discussing a possible 'assassination' of the President isn't recommended. I'd suggest that you not create another thread like this. Nothing good can come out of it.
