President Trump and US politics catchall

[fishfoodie]

At least in Maryland we have a good Republican Governor



In other words, he told #45 to go f.ck himself.

He'd have been a good Republican Governor if he told him to concede BEFORE, the prick attacked him.

Don't comment about stuffs you know zip about, HE DID.

Like this one for exemple a week ago.

then I apologise to him; & just wish there were more like him in the GOP, on the bigger stage

He’s been all over the brexit thread. Wait, which one are you on about?

[Ted.]

The Idiot has been very quiet today

Not just today.

In the 19 days since the election, 12 have included no events on the president's schedule. He has appeared at public events four times and has played golf at his Virginia course six times.

He has taken no questions from reporters.

Since Election Day, he has spoken 8143 words publicly over 18 days through until Saturday, according to Factba.se, a website that tracks all of his utterances and movements. On average in 2020, he spoke 8398 words daily, according to Bill Frischling, the website's owner, but only 454 words per day since November 3.

On the last day of the campaign alone, he uttered more than 55,000 words.

He averaged about 48 minutes on camera every day in 2020, Frischling said. He has spent about 50 minutes on camera since November 3.

His fluffers, acolytes and morons in waiting have attempted to make up the difference with a cacophony bluster and bullshit. The angst and panic, in turns, is palpable and bloody marvellous.

I took it to mean Trump, but now you mention it, it could equally apply to the contrarian in chief.

I did wonder if it might cause confusion

Lovely to see Biden twisting the knife by appointing John Kerry as his Environment Tzar or something

[Snooze]

And Michigan just certified their results.

That fukker Shinkle abstained.

The lone holdout was GOP board member Norman Shinkle, who told The Washington Post in an interview last week that he was leaning toward seeking a delay. Shinkle cited a debunked conspiracy theory aired by Trump that voting machines made by a company called Dominion deleted thousands of Trump votes.

Time for the good people of Michigan to start a recall vote against him then !

Any Politician who thumbs his nose at the free & fair vote of the populous, has no place in Politics, & should be removed from Office ASAP !

[fishfoodie]

The Loser has finally told the GSA to start the transition protocols, & says he will tell his people to cooperate

... we'll see how the reality matches the tweet.


I'm guessing that the polls in Georgia aren't going in the direction the GOP want's, & his hissy fit is whats fucking up their chances of keeping the Senate.

What is a recall vote?

More importantly, why on earth are politicians doing what, in any other credible democracy, would be the duty of an independent official or a semi-judicial role (non-elected and/or not appointed by a politician)?

In the US & some other Countries it is possible to remove an elected official before the end of the term, by getting enough signatures to force a recall vote; i.e. to force an unfit person out of office, & have a new election for the office.

Seems that the GSA has accepted reality.

Ta very much for that. It's the only good thing I have heard about the USA's political, electoral and governance system in a long time.

Mind you, I have seen little evidence of it being applied or actually being useful. For instance, Joe Aripo survived two recall petitions and how is it that Mitch McConnell is still in the Senate?

because you need a license to have a dog; but every fucking idiot gets a vote.

that & recall votes are two parters; it's often possible to get the signatures to force the vote; but getting people to turn out to force the arsehole out of office is harder. Ian Paisley Jr would be case in point in NI.

If Trump has taught us anything, it's that the good people of Michigan are very likely to keep voting for him, incomprehensible as it may be for non-Americans.

Trump still has Schedule F up his sleeve.

https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2020/10 ... schedule-f

https://www.pogo.org/analysis/2020/10/t ... orruption/

It's too tempting for him not to use this. He hasn't until now, at least not extensively to my knowledge, because he's still holding out a the hope he will win. As it dawns on him that he's out on his fat arse, he will look for a victory in any way he know how, i.e. without moral or ethical constraints. It's the only reason I can see for creating the executive order in its current form.

Are there no constraints on what the departing president can do in the transition period?

[Insane_Homer]

I would love to now see Biden do a Trump and appoint Hunter to some high security position and wave any vetting just to watch Mitch & co heads explode with hypocritical indignation.

I was but rather than accept the results or admit he lost, he’s given the transition team the nod to ahead

I was rather hoping for the drama of him being dragged out by the ankles in January.

If he has given up the ghost, get his obstructive, lying, racist, sexist, nepotistitic, mushroom dicked, baby hands, grifting, living every day in the shadow of his failure, never been loved, wishing he was incestuous, orange arse out of the way of the transition as soon as possible.

Deny him the drama his hollowed out soul needs.

A man like Ringo has got a great big hole, right in the middle of himself. And he can never kill enough, or steal enough, or inflict enough pain to ever fill it.

Whoa folks! You think he's finished yet? Not a chance!

Explains why he was so quiet yesterday.

It's a damn sight more than I expected him to give.

Just noticing the photos of him playing golf: He seems to have slimmed down a tad.

As we can be pretty sure he hasn't departed from his junk food diet, the suspicion arises that he has been suffering the effects of the covids; it can't be worry about what will happen when the Deutsche Bank forecloses and Vlad wants his investment returned.

I wouldn't be terribly surprised to read that he had expired on the eighteenth.

Maybe he’s getting worried about his historical reputation.

[eldanielfire]

Yeh but socialist.

It's funny how people drone on today that Socialist Bernie Sanders couldn't win, while ignoring that Trump not only won in 2016 but was damn close in 2020 when the supposed wisdom was he would be thrashed. Plus the Dems don't even have the senate.

I’m not sure how Bernie could have won the rust belt. That was Biden’s USP and he did it.

As people have pointed out for years, Bernie would have had the rust belt going against Trump in 2016.

I think he secured that when he sent a Childrens Cancer Hospital the full bill for a fundraising event at his resort; after he overrode Eric telling them they could have the event on the house.

And your argument for Bernie winning the rust belt is? The fact he beat Clinton in the Democratic Primaries doesn’t mean he would have defeated Trump in 2016.

Its also worth pointing out that now that we have a better idea of the final tallies, Trump didn't really come close to winning this election. Biden secured more overall votes than any previous President, and won the popular vote by over 6 million. In recent times, only Obama's first election secured a better winning margin. Once all votes are certified, Biden is also likely to have 306 votes in the Electoral College, which is slightly more than Trump managed in his 'landslide' victory 4 years ago. In the swing states that Trump has been contesting, with the exception of Georgia, Biden's winning margin has been substantial, and even in Georgia his final winning margin was over 12,000.

Where the Democrats have done less well is in the Senate elections, but Biden has delivered on his promise to defeat Trump.

The EC margin is effectively identical - Trump lost a couple to faithless electors

[Hal Jordan]

The outgoing administration's quest to burn everything down before they're hurled into the pile of shit they richly deserve continues with attempts to bring back firing squads and electrocution as a means to carry out the death penalty, shit on the environment and on workers rights.

They are fucking scum, every last one of them. Trump is almost, well he's such an enormous manchild that you can understand why he dies what he dies, but the rest of them are just plain evil. And dull corporate, soulless evil at that. Wretched pricks, damaging their country because they can and because they are inured to the damage they cause by long custom.
