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...

Just discovered that Emily never attended the meeting with Katie Porter. Katie looks to be a firecracker (and wields a very scary whiteboard)!

Blimey, who dictated that letter to her I wonder?

Waking up to the news that sanity is starting to prevail! Praise the

Sorry Emily, I can't believe that you sat and said Nope for 2 weeks without being instructed to. Especially when your boss follows up your letter saying he recommended that you start transition.

Yeah, Emily’s letter was quite something - didn’t acknowledge Biden as President-elect, did it?

Also this means Biden no longer has to piss people off asking for funds.

Oh..... When's McNinnys next Presser? That should be fun!

No way did Trump write those GSA tweets. Someone's confiscated his phone.

She's so full of shit, I couldn't even read all of it. I'm not giving her the gift of minutes of my life on it. She's done it, she knows her behaviour was aberrant, let her reflect on that come 21 Jan. I'm sure she'll be hired by some Trump sympathiser.

Can be fairly confident Trump didn't write those tweets, for a start there is a distinct lack of capital letters.

Looks like Trump got his phone back - still shouting fake election

According to Lewis Goodall, the next big thing to watch out for now: the Trump pardons.

I wonder if there will be any kind of inquiry about this later - ask her why it took so long to release funds and ask her what Trump's tweet about recommending she release them actually meant?

A US colleague of mine thinks he'll go to Mar-a-Lago at Christmas and not come back. I doubt it. I suspect we'll see him hunkering down and going nowhere, peering through the curtains with an almighty scowl on.

Those phones are going to start ringing out at some point though, even Moscow Mitch will let it go to VM.

That Tweet this am about never conceding. I agree someone else had access to his account last night.

The nutjob doesn’t care that he looks a complete fool when he says he recommended she essentially do her job which is supposed to be independent - he has to be seen as the mighty one who rescued the calamity (not that he caused it).

Same as Krebs saying the election was most secure in history - eejit takes credit for such a great achievement but continues to insist the election was rigged

No sympathy for Emily Murphy whatsoever. She has been whinging about all of this since the election.
When Trump won 306 was 'a landslide' and transition happened by whoever did her job.
Then Trumpy appointed her and it didn't happen. Funny that...

Also, how awful that very few of the enablers round Trump are congratulating or even acknowledging Biden's win.

Pathetic.

He hasn't conceded. He probably knows it is now looking awful for him hence EmilyM's action, but he will plough on with calling it a fake election and will never acknowledge he lost 'by a landslide' (his words in 2016 for 306)

He'll be working on his own pardon, shredding/deleting evidence and squirrelling $$$ to offshore accounts. Melania will be emptying her shoe closet and putting the pseudo military dresses in mothballs. (I really don't care. Do you?)

I imagine Melania as champing at the bit to go legging it as far away from her orange other-half as possible. Will be interesting to see what kind of life she ends up with.
Poor Barron. What an upbringing.

This is worrying

Trump is pulling the US out of the 'Open Skies Treaty'

“So for us and for all our allied countries in Europe who have been in this treaty with us for decades, we have picked this moment, today, to leave them blind to the surveillance and other intelligence on Russia that they have been depending on through us because of this treaty since the fall of the Soviet Union,” she added.

I am not au fait with this but from what I've read it is not easily reversed.

Trump will destroy everything before 20th January

Where's that from Roussette?

Oh sorry, thought I did a link. Here it is

Ta.

In other news, Scott Baio is being urged to run for Governor of some state, either California or Utah. They don't care which.

Some of them on Twitter are talking about leaving the Republican party and formally joining a Trump party. This has probably been mooted before but would be fantastic if they acted on it. Split the party!

Jesus - he did that yesterday? Hoping it'll slip under the radar - sorry for the pun - in amongst the rest of the shitshow.

I was looking forward to the showdown between Emily Murphy and Katie Porters whiteboard.

Emily's letter is pathetic & Trump definitely did not write that tweet.

I feel slightly lighter now that this step forward has finally been made.

Apparently he’s decommissioning the special surveillance planes, so the Biden administration can’t start them up again. Surely this is sabotaging national security and someone should stop him? Where are the checks and balances?
