@DuncinToffee

Georgia

Biden 4,263
Counts remaining (est.). -3,458

I'm confused by this too. Hope someone knowledgeable will be along shortly with an idiot's guide to help me.

@AskingQuestionsAllTheTime
This was said by a pretty normal guy - it’s baffling ! It’s like he’s in a cult.

Lordy. Acosta talking from WH about Trump not giving up and word has it his family and Rudi are enabling him and telling him to hang on in there. Behind the scenes, others are trying to get him to deal with reality

Twenty-nine individuals closely tied to his Administration were subsequently indicted, and several of his top aides and advisers, including his Attorney General, John Mitchell, went to prison. Nixon himself, however, escaped prosecution because his successor, Gerald Ford, granted him a pardon, in September, 1974.

Donnie and Eric know.

And Trump’s finances are already under growing strain. During the next four years, according to a stunning recent Times report, Trump—whether reëlected or not—must meet payment deadlines for more than three hundred million dollars in loans that he has personally guaranteed; much of this debt is owed to such foreign creditors as Deutsche Bank. Unless he can refinance with the lenders, he will be on the hook. The Financial Times, meanwhile, estimates that, in all, about nine hundred million dollars’ worth of Trump’s real-estate debt will come due within the next four years.

I'd rather see him go broke publicly and spectacularly than go to jail a martyr for his conduct in office. Its a lesson in itself. And one he would take harder than being the victim of the enemy.

And if people go down because of him, they will sing like canaries in the end because they are weak.

Tax. And debt.

There are going to be some fantastic plays written about this over the next decade. When going to the theatre becomes a thing again I can't wait to see them.

AskingQuestionsAllTheTime · 06/11/2020 22:22

Not only he, but all his family and associates, are likely to end up cursing the day that he flew too high, aimed for the presidency, and ultimately had his wings melted off him so that they all went down in flames.

Rudi is up to his next in Trump's dodgy dealings.

There are two camps now. Republicans calling time. And republicans so far up to their necks in Trumps irregular activities they will loyally stick with him to the bitter end to save their own necks.

Watch and note who sticks by him longest... Despite the way he's treated many of them over the years.

Pomegranatespompom · 06/11/2020 22:23

That’s just so rubbish - if I needed an intervention, I hope my family would give me the brutal truth and get me out. Wheel me out in a chair if they had to 😂

Someone had a breakdown at work once (nhs) made a pact with a colleague we’d get each other out as quick as possible if we ever starting shouting/ crying or worse.

New thread because this is going to go very fast now.

Trump being thrown back into the commercial realities of a real estate and hotel empire in the midst of a raging US Coronavirus pandemic that Trump helped to create is so delicious it makes one wonder whether karma is real. Especially when now the financial support he might have taken for granted could have been driven away because everyone is looking side-eye at him thinking "I really don't think so".

CaveMum · 06/11/2020 22:28

We should quickly fill this thread with links to the new one or folks are going to get left behind overnight, like I did with this thread!

Roussette · 06/11/2020 22:28

Thank you Lion I'm on it and reporting for duty 😂

Pomegranatespompom · 06/11/2020 22:30

How are you all staying awake ?!

I’m grateful for all you informative posts.

Roussette · 06/11/2020 22:30

nauticant

Someone linked somewhere a conversation that an aide or reporter or someone had with Trump when in a car driving by hundreds of supporters. He said... 'look at this, just look at it, I love it, I can't ever go back to selling windows'
(referring to real estate)

Well... he is.

BoreOfWhabylon · 06/11/2020 22:32

@AskingQuestionsAllTheTime

pray for trump as he is facing unimaginable evil

That would be the damnation of his immortal soul, then? that's what prayer might help him with.

More likely he's joined the QAnon conspiracy cult

Everyone is moving over to the new thread here www.mumsnet.com/Talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/4072116-Trump-thread-No-111-and-the-count-goes-on?msgid=101526056

Fox is both funny and infuriating.

Now saying Biden has all the work done by Trump and only has to sit and do nothing.

Booming economy and no pandemic, clearly.

BubblyWater · 06/11/2020 22:38

I just read about the death of Biden's first wife and daughter and how he came to be called Amtrak Joe. He does seem to be a decent human being.

CaveMum · 06/11/2020 22:40

I’m going to be a broken record, sorry!

New thread here, don’t want to lose any of you! www.mumsnet.com/Talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/4072116-Trump-thread-No-111-and-the-count-goes-on?msgid=101526056

Someone should start a new thread CaveMum. I'm disappointed that this already hasn't been done.

PerkingFaintly · 06/11/2020 22:43

Norty nauti! Grin

Lweji · 06/11/2020 22:44

It just moves too fast. Grin

PerkingFaintly · 06/11/2020 22:45

I would be filling up this thread with photos of kittens, but I don't have and to hand. Negligent I know.

So instead I'll fill it with names of what my friends and I are drinking tonight.Grin
