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

Jake Tapper @jaketapper

Thanksgiving messages this morning from the outgoing and incoming presidents of the United States:

I swear, each time I hear Biden or see messages from him, I choke up and want to cry. It's just the return to normalcy, to a qualified leader who loves the Country and the people. And who understands the meaning of Service to others and Country before self.

@Lewji

We have (at least) one of those type ministers in the next town. Greedy and uncaring about the less fortunate. Currently calling on his congregation to 'rise up' against 'election fraud'. He lives in a McMansion in the 'naice part of town'. He and his wife both drive fancy SUVs etc. I'm reminded of:

Mark 10:25
"It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God."

and this

2 Timothy 4:3-4
"For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths."

I read and article which said that the GOP aren't afraid of Trump, but they're scared of his supporters!

BruceAndNosh · 26/11/2020 17:53

It's going to need to be a VERY big library...

Yeah, it's called riding the Dragon. Ended well for all the people that thought they could use Hitler for their own ends.

Very detailed website tracking cases and outcomes in the different states: Democracy Docket www.democracydocket.com/case_type/post-election/

It includes details of voting-related court cases, eg on voter registration.

Looks a good site to bookmark re future elections.

For all her stalling, it was a shitty move for Sidney Powell to file her latest election law suit at Last Minute.dot com o'clock just before a public holiday so that it won't be challenged for a few days

Shitty people do shitty things.

Friday isn't a holiday although most Courts usually don't hold session the day after Thanksgiving. Although, some non-public business may be conducted so who knows? Maybe a judge feels like a little overtime and will rule on throw out her lawsuit on Friday.

AskingQuestionsAllTheTime · 26/11/2020 21:09

Wasn't one of the umpteen cases being brought about the election due to be heard on Friday? it was mentioned a page or two ago, and I commented that wasn't long to wait.

Billy, even. Grin

Stupid autocorrect only seems to work on my phone, not Trump's, obviously.

BIGLY!

BruceAndNosh · 26/11/2020 22:05

Actually @Lweji I thought you meant that Trump Library could just be an ikea Billy bookcase!

So did I Grin

Another thing to keep on eye on after the eviction from the White House.

Extremists Are Cashing in on a Youth-Targeted Gaming Website
www.splcenter.org/hatewatch/2020/11/17/extremists-are-cashing-youth-targeted-gaming-website

Includes stuff about Generation Identity and Identity Evropa/American Identity Movement. Identity politics is at the very heart of right-wing politics at the moment – it just has to be the, ahem, right sort of identity politics...

I don't know why these choices were made.

BruceAndNosh · 27/11/2020 07:15

Seriously @lionheart was that the set up at the White House for Trump's Presser? Or it that photoshopped?

BruceAndNosh · 27/11/2020 07:17

I see trump got very snappy at a reporter but I couldn't actually hear what they said to annoy trump quite so much.

So what does this statement from Trump mean? When asked if he will attend Biden's inauguration...
"I'll be honest, I know the answer, but I just don't want to say it yet,"

Can Biden just NOT invite him?

Roussette · 27/11/2020 07:28

Bruce no, it's deffo not photoshopped, Jon Sopel BBC News posted an incredulous picture too.
Perhaps they've started moving all the furniture out?! It looks like what's left after the removal men have been in.

He really laid into a reporter for asking if he would concede once the Electoral College had called it in December.

Other than that, he just ranted on and on about how the election was stolen from him.
i wish he would just fuck off. I think very many are just sick of it all now.

Oh and in othe news, after a day rage tweeting and golfing, he did ring the troops. How mean, it might have suited him time wise, but not them... it was gone 1.15am where they were. Sums him up.

BruceAndNosh · 27/11/2020 08:25

@Roussette @lionheart That Presser conference set up was definitely a "set up". A toddler sized desk and an undecorated tree.
Someone's getting fired for that!

Phoenix21 · 27/11/2020 08:55

I also read IKEA Billy and Grin

You have the best typos like no one has ever seen before.

DuncinToffee · 27/11/2020 09:43

Yep, I also thought Ikea Billy

That desk, brilliant Grin

Flavabobble · 27/11/2020 09:50

I don't know why these choices were made.
I do, it was to make his hands look bigger...
Or to match his tiny tiny windows or save the tiny fishes or something.

And just because:
