Not sure if you mean Trump or bimbo...
He’s been all over the brexit thread. Wait, which one are you on about?
Not just today.
https://www.stuff.co.nz/world/americas/ ... ion-defeatIn 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.
I did wonder if it might cause confusion
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.

That fukker Shinkle abstained.

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.Ted. wrote: Mon Nov 23, 2020 11:25 pmWhat is a recall vote?fishfoodie wrote: Mon Nov 23, 2020 10:30 pmTime for the good people of Michigan to start a recall vote against him then !Snooze wrote: Mon Nov 23, 2020 10:12 pm And Michigan just certified their results.

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)?
Ta very much for that.

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?
Are you serious?

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.

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.Rinkals wrote: Tue Nov 24, 2020 8:59 am Am I the only one who's a little bit disappointed?

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.

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.Un Pilier wrote: Tue Nov 24, 2020 10:57 pmAnd your argument for Bernie winning the rust belt is?

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