Figures Don’t Lie, But Liars Do Figure (Trump thread #114)

[TheNorthWestPawsage]

Enough already! Delusional, depraved, but DEFEATED. We may have to wait until Jan 20th but 45 will be GONE. McConnell is next...

GSA has finally released transition funds to Biden.

First on CNN: GSA tells Biden that transition can formally begin www.cnn.com/2020/11/23/politics/transition-biden-gsa-begin/index.html

Transition can begin!

Sorry @SabrinaThwaite Cross post!

And almost a concession from Trump.

Sorry *@SabrinaThwaite* Cross post!

lionheart beat us both!

Yep, it’s all falling apart now. Michigan certifies, GSA caves......

It's not falling apart, it's finally coming together

ForTheLoveOfFaff

There is no point but they can legally request it so they did.

The Trump campaign requested the recount on Saturday, which is their right by Georgia law because the margin of Joe Biden’s victory is less than 0.5%. The recount will be taxpayer-funded, and will be conducted in each county statewide using high speed ballot scanners

This final recount will start Tuesday 9am and must be finished by midnight Dec 2nd

An almost concession will do fine for now

Just popping in from the UK to say:

Finally! I'm so pleased.
I hope America can heal now.

I've been really busy with work so have been popping in occasionally to look at this thread and get a quick catch-up. I am so impressed by how up-to-date this has kept me. You are all wonderful.

Off to read the interesting linked articles now. It's nearly 7pm here and I've finally finished work for the day.

@SabrinaThwaite

And almost a concession from Trump.

trumps post sounds a lot like he wants to take credit for Emily finally transfering the funds. As in, he is still in control and deciding what is done rather than the reality being that Emily had to face the House, and the House laid clear her duty (which is to 'our Country' and not trump).

But I could be wrong and maybe he is finally making decent decisions... (mind you it's getting late and I'm prob talking nonsense)

That letter from GSA Emily is so insulting and unprofessional. It’s so self obsessed and I love the way Trump’s tweets immediately prove that her denials that she was taking her cue from him are complete bollox.

I have some sympathy for the head of the GSA because Trump placed her in an impossible situation... just as he's placing the country in an impossible situation.

So I feel there is some justification for her actions and timings. Although given the impact of delays to transition during Covid, and the fact that she does appear to have some discretion, I'm not sure.

It is a whiny letter though!

And yes, at the simultaneous claims to have been responsible for the decision to release funds!

"I gave you the money!"
"No, I gave you the money!"

Thank goodness for some things going right.

I agree it was unprofessional and whingey. And a crock of shit, "not pressured' my Aunt Fanny. Even if she wasn't 'pressured' (she was) she was sure kissing Scrotus' shiny red baboon ass. I'm sure Biden will just give an eyeroll and a 'Whatever Emily, just release the funds".

I do notice that the funds released are for 'through Dec 11 2020'. I don't know if that's the total or if there is another 'bucket' to be released then.

She's another Trump appointee who will be out of a job come 20 Jan at 1pm EST.

Even the BBC has it :-

Trump accepts transition to Biden must begin www.bbc.co.uk/news/election-us-2020-55052640

Wow, just read Emily's letter, definately a CYA piece of work. Also love the reference to 'no pressure' from trump and co, but those damn Dems have been threatening her when she is giving her all for her country, and how she soldiered on in the face of all these threats to her life. She is so incredibley brave and honourable.

I for one don't feel sorry for her, she thought she could get away with it, and is pissed that she's been reprimanded, and now looks a fool for not doing her job. Lay down with the fleas and all that...

Emily was scared of Katie Porter's whiteboard.

Why there's no need to feel sorry for Emily Murphy.

Oop apologies AcrossthePond I just read your post and realize mine basically echos it. Wee one keeps interupting me, so I'm reading the thread piece-meal.

It must drive Trump insane that Biden is going to come into power just as the vaccine starts being distributed, and that during Biden's first 6 months in power life in the US is going to start going back to normal.

Such a shame, isn't it? Especially when the vaccine was all Trump's work!

AcrossthePond55 - I fell asleep and woke earlier to your post. It’s looking increasingly that Scotus won’t be his lapdog. You know things are bad when you start thinking that if any of these spurious cases did make it them they’d find in favour of Cheetos Chump. The man has us seriously spooked 😱

Beginning to breathe a bit easier now that PA and MI have certified and that Emily Whatshername has seen the light.
