Trump takes fighting stance as election swings toward Biden

[Walker88]

What makes 45's fighting stance even more impotent is that with two runoff elections in Georgia, and 2 months to register yet more voters in that voter-suppressed State, the possibility of Dems tying Repubs for 50-50 in the Senate gives the Dems effective control of all three entities, House, Senate and White House. VP has the tie-breaking vote in the Senate, and that would be VP Kamala Harris.

 

One can imagine that never in US history will so much money be thrown at these two runoff elections.  Expect folks like Bloomberg, Steyer and other billionaires to flood Georgia with ads, campaign financing, and even buses to bring voters to the polls in January.

Well looks like trumps fired now the challenge imo is going to be limiting the damage a vindictive narcissist trump will try to do before he’s run off Biden’s now ahead in Pennsylvania by just under 10,000 votes god I’ve waited 4 years for this I expect worldwide celebrations breaking out soon!

She is extremely bright, and the Biden team is likely to be filled with actual experts in every field from finance to trade to diplomacy to medical science. I am in touch with a member of Biden's transition team, and the number of well-known experts in various fields who are volunteering to be a part of the post-45 clean-up effort is astonishing. Real patriots are rising to the occasion. Biden will truly pull the best of the best, and if he decides to step aside before his term ends, Harris is perfectly capable of orchestrating the team.

 

Obviously they have a task in front of them, with UE at 9%, an economy back at 2016 level (GDP), international alliances mostly broken, National Debt $7,000,000,000,000 higher than when Obama stepped down, an all-time record yearly deficit, and a raging pandemic that hits new highs in terms of infections and deaths every day. 45 certainly is leaving a mess.

I think what should be stressed is that the USA is going to need a huge expenditure to rescue it from the Covid 19 resurgence. Without lots of aid, states are going to have to slash their budgets.

The first round was actually quite effective, particularly the $600 weekly supplement. Although way too much money was spent on the wealthy and not enough on the middle class, blue collar workers, and service workers. Expanded Medicaid under Obamacare was a huge boost for workers at the lower end of the wage scale.

A post with unsubstantiated claims of election fraud, numerous trolling and name calling posts, and replies to all of those have been removed.

International observers call trumps claims of a false election an unprecedented abuse of power.  So add that to the pile of things he needs to be prosecuted for but probably won't.

Michigan AG asks residents to stop telling staff to shove Sharpies up their butts

The Michigan attorney general pleaded with residents of the state on Thursday to stop telling her staff to shove Sharpies up their butts.

Attorney General Dana Nessel made the plea in a tweet Thursday after a state judge tossed a lawsuit by the Trump campaign that sought to suspend ballot counting in the state.

I hope you're right. Recalling the incredible level of racist animus* directed at Michelle Obama, who was only the FLOTUS, in US society Harris's demographic alone could make her incredibly divisive before policy even gets a mention...

You're fired!  One term president will be the most complimentary thing anyone will ever write about you.

And there's the rub.  Unless the Dems can get control of the Senate one way or another, McConnell will never pass another disaster relief bill.  His goal will be to sabotage Biden to the maximum extent possible, even if that drives American Covid deaths into the millions and craters the economy, for both of which the Republicans will blame Biden in the 2022 Congressional elections.  That's just what he did with Obama, although it failed to prevent Obama's re-election.

Uh, we as American people are in the process of voting Trump out right now. He is toast. Take a look at the UK they voted in Boris Johnson and look what is happening to them between Covid and Brexit.  Better re think your post mate.

Intelligent people learn from their mistakes. After four years, no one with intelligence should have voted for this imbecile. Yet almost 70 million have. I am very disappointed in my American neighbours.

Glad to see everyone celebrating.  I'd say prematurely.  If anyone here thinks this is going to stand all I can say is . . . LOL.

The fat lady ain't singing for quite some time to come.

No, but she's certainly drinking warm tea to get ready.

This is all rather enjoyable at the moment, but let’s none of us forget, Trump has on a number of occasions refused to commit to a peaceful transfer of power. 

 

Right now he’s running out of options to avoid facing his defeat and the inevitable consequences of his defeat.

We're not out of the woods by any means.  If Trump can appeal a few cases to the Supreme Court, they would decide for him 5 to 4.

I'm not so sure.  So far, none of the legal challenges seem significant.  And with so many states turning towards Biden, even if he loses one, he'll still win.

 

The big question!  Will he resign, like happened in the past, and have Pence, as POTUS, pardon him?

Interesting idea. I think Pence would see what happened to Gerald Ford after pardoning Nixon. It's true that times are different now, far more partisan, though. Of course, Trump could pardon himself, but that could be reversed by the Supreme Court.

Supreme Court has turned down every one of his attempts so far. The deal with THIS court and not the court of public opinion is the absolute requirement of compelling evidence of which there is none.
