Will Donald pardon the turkeys or will the turkeys pardon Donald?

@BefuddledPerson

Wow, 'final holiday season for the Trump White House'

Either they are starting to change their approach, or someone's getting fired!!

I wonder how many days that's been on WH site. I'm guessing Trump hasn't seen it....

Apologies if this has been posted before. I lose track! Trump Library

Good morning. Another day of let's see if Trump has conceded, after the days of let's see if Biden has won.
Coming January 20, it will be let's see if Trump has been arrested.

If Trump does decide to run in 2024, he can get round a possible twitter ban as a political candidate
Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger has begun to self-quarantine as a COVID-19 precaution after his wife contracted the virus — removing himself from in-person supervision of a hand recount of presidential ballots.

I'm shocked at their irresponsibility. They shouldn't be doing any actual physical tours of the White House, Christmas or not, in the middle of this pandemic.

Last chance marketing opportunity - must be a lot of MAGA hats left to shift.

From Trump's own agencies

Joint statement from senior US government election and security officials: “The Nov 3rd election was the most secure in American history....There is no evidence that any voting system deleted or lost votes, changed votes, or was in any way compromised.”

Trump will be currently checking how easy it is to fire each and every one of those signatories

Love that Trump library website, kudos to whoever bought that domain name!

That Trump library is FAB

“If you even mention Biden’s name… that’s a no-go, you’d be fired,” one national security official said. “Everyone is scared of even talking about the chance of working with the [Biden] transition.”

Asked if officials in the White House feel comfortable saying Biden’s name in the West Wing, one senior White House official said, half-jokingly, “Sure, you can say his name. If you’re talking about who lost the election to the president.”

There's another virus about which is causing ardent Trump supporters to turn orange to show their solidarity.
Tucker Carlson has been rather tangerine lately.
Sean Hannity has definitely got The Glow
And now McNinny has decided to slap on extra layers of permatan foundation

Hahaha They are all having to become trump tribute acts to placate the stroppy little git🤭
Coquohvan · 13/11/2020 12:42

Thinking about Trumps thoughts about running again. How does he get to that point. I mean is there nominations run off etc he’d need to do. Does he need to be nominated.

Wishful thinking that all the GOP members would not all be for that.

BruceAndNosh · 13/11/2020 12:47

I suspect he's trying to get round the forthcoming Twitter ban

BruceAndNosh · 13/11/2020 12:49

I don't envy the GOP sorting out the noms for 2024.
They want the Trump base but don't want Trump himself.
However I suspect for various reasons, Trump will not be in any position to run in 2024.

Here's hoping one of those reasons is that he's in prison.
AskingQuestionsAllTheTime · 13/11/2020 12:57

I don't really care what the reason for his removal from consideration is; I just want him to shut up and go.

Mind you, looking at what ailed his father, I feel allowed to hope for heredity to catch up with him when he is a little younger than it did with the previous revolting old man of his line.

giletrouge · 13/11/2020 13:03

His disappearance will be welcomed, but beware his sons and his fanatical followers. They won't all go away at once; there's a long haul ahead.

AskingQuestionsAllTheTime · 13/11/2020 13:12

Oh, I want his sons and son-in-law imprisoned for their illegal behaviour. They aren't going to die real soon now the way he is.
