Prominent peddlers
No, he can’t just pop back in, “reinstated.” That’s not how any of this works.
During an event in Dallas on Sunday that was also attended by prominent peddlers of the QAnon conspiracy theory, [Sidney] Powell suggested Trump could be reinstated as president even now, saying that “it should be that he can simply be reinstated, that a new Inauguration Day is set.”
Yes definitely “it should be that” a wannabe dictator can just magically be “reinstated” despite the whole losing the election thing and the inciting a violent insurrection thing.
According to CNN legal analyst Steve Vladeck, “Powell is just making stuff up. There’s no regulation, rule, statute or constitutional provision that comes within a million light-years of what she’s describing. There is no mechanism for ‘reinstating’ a former President. There is no procedure for setting a ‘new Inauguration Day.’ ”
Well to be fair she didn’t say there was, she said it should be that there is. Totally different thing!
No less stupid though.
What, do they think they just ring up John Roberts and he makes the arrangements? What they hell are they talkng about?
But it’s right there, in the Constitution, Article XIII, inscribed in Sharpie. “Trump is the bestest president ever and he shall be reinstituted.”

Or should that be reconstituted? Or constituted at all?
If he’s been desiccated, I’d rather just leave him in that state.
Breakfast without reconstituted orange doofus is a like a day with at least the possibility of sunshine, to paraphrase an old ad campaign.
