President Trump and US politics catchall

[Hong Kong]

Am I the only one who's a little bit disappointed?

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.

Stop sitting on the fence. Tell us how you really feel

Has the twat really accepted the result??

Are you serious?

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

He really has become the Black Knight.

Maybe he’s getting worried about his historical reputation.

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.

And the long awaited pardon of Flynn arrives. Who's next?

I don't think Manafort would get much value out of a Federal Pardon; as the Justice system expected one, & he's facing a shit load of State level charges too, so a guilty plea to one set, will land him up to his nose in shit, with no possibility of a pardon there.

The right wing nutcases are pushing a legal theory that a Presidential Pardon can cover state charges as well. Wanna bet he's going to try it out?

[Saint]

Probably worth reminding people that Trump has just pardoned someone for an offence that was bad enough that he had to fire him.

It's one take, they were probably 50/50 on going with that line or going with the idea the President can't pardon someone who was party to a crime the President was complicit in

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

"I am working with the transition team, but they are fighting me on blah, blah, best ever, blah blah"

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.

I sincerely hope you mean December, or January at the very latest. In fact, I think anywhere from the 1st to the 18th would be spiffing.

I'm just making reference to the guys who claimed not to be Trump supporters but who wouldn't vote for Biden because he was just as bad.

Says a Trump appointed judge. That's just how ridiculous these lawsuits are - even a theoretical sycophant can't allow them to go forward

[Hal Jordan]

Interesting how Orange Cunt couched his words about leaving the White House with "if". Makes you wonder what dictator truck he will try next.

Maybe the wormtongues are telling him that they can get enough faithless votes in the EC to vote against their States votes, that he can yet be elected ?

It's fantasy, but it's exactly the kind of shite you'd expect his fluffers to tell him.

In addition, one of the recounts in Wisconsin, which cost Trump’s campaign $3m, has resulted in a net gain in votes for Joe Biden.

It can happen, there would be legal challenges, and there would be some civil unrest. But who knows what happens

It's certainly something he is trying to do - it's part of the reason for the 'hearings' being staged in the battleground states he lost - peddling lots of accusations and dodgy stuff to those there - trying to build up more pressure on the local Republican officials.

But, the number of EC votes he'd need to steal is too high and the officials aren't as corrupt as he is.
