Thanks @BruceandNosh for the title.

Trump clearly doesn't know when to fold them. Or when to walk away, and when to run.

Thanks for the new thread!

So how ARE the GOP meant to vote? The machines are rigged, paper ballots are rigged....what does that leave?

Zebracat · 01/12/2020 17:37

Ive been listening to Jenna Ellis explains to the GOP in Arizona why they need to send Republicans to the Electoral College because of reasonable doubt that the election was secure. So chilled by the serious and respectful listening going on.
Trump and his minions are ripping apart the very fabric of their country. I really believe that they should be arrested for Sedition.

Now that's got a pre revolutionary ring to it ...

Maybe sedition is the wrong word but these people cannot possibly believe this nonsense , they are blatantly doing what they accuse, trying to steal this election or to foment civil unrest if they fail . This is so dangerous.

HoldingTight · 01/12/2020 17:52

Found you!

'There may be another reason for the reticence: since Election Day, Trump and his political operation have raised more than $170 million, a person familiar with the matter said -- a massive fundraising haul fueled by Trump's baseless allegations that the election was rigged. In all, the campaign has sent 400 fundraising emails and another 125 texts between 11 p.m. Election Night and early Tuesday morning'

Shock Hmm

Just wonder how many threads there will be until the inaugaration.

Roussette · 01/12/2020 18:17

I think it's going to be nonstop!

Trump is the gift that keeps on giving in a 'orrible way Grin

[quote DuncinToffee]Rudy is sweating again

Maggie Haberman @maggieNYT

NEW - Giuliani is said to have discussed a preemptive pardon with Trump. @nytmike and me: www.nytimes.com/live/2020/12/01/us/joe-biden-trump#giuliani-is-said-to-have-discussed-a-possible-pardon-with-trump[/quote]
And I think he'll get one. It's one of the main reasons he continues to be Scrotus' 'hatchet man'. If Rudy were to walk away now he knows he's up shit creek without a pair of roller skates.

DGRossetti · 01/12/2020 19:05

It will be interesting when all these pardoned people suddenly get called to testify and discover the 5th amendment has gone missing. Unless we are going down a rabbit hole of "the pardon means I can't be prosecuted for not testifying ...."

Lweji · 01/12/2020 19:24

Hello.
Can I get a pardon for late arrival?

BruceAndNosh · 01/12/2020 19:30

I think we're discovering why Sidney Powell was cut loose...
After yesterday's allegation of election fraud in the imaginary Edison County, today somone pointed out that her crucial exhibit "the certification of Dominion machines wasn't signed" had the signature cropped off. The official online version filed is properly signed

BruceAndNosh · 01/12/2020 19:56

Well colour me surprised...

Bill Barr - no evidence of widespread fraud that would change the outcome of the 2020 election.

So I'm guessing by tomorrow Barr is either sacked or totally disowned by Trump

maggiethecat · 01/12/2020 20:04

Barr? Never heard of him...

BruceAndNosh · 01/12/2020 20:10

@maggiethecat

Barr? Never heard of him...
Worst AG ever.
DuncinToffee · 01/12/2020 20:11

He is at the WH right now

BruceAndNosh · 01/12/2020 20:12

Trump is currently riveted to the fraud hearing in Michigan. Can't wait until someone slips him a post it about Barr's treachery

Barr is at White House? Most probably picking up his P45
AcrossthePond55 · 01/12/2020 20:19

Yeah, I think Barr is beginning to realize that he hitched his wagon to the wrong 'star'.

He may be opportunistic pond scum, but he's not stupid. I think he's going to try to claw his way back to some semblance of 'respectability'.

He had a long career at the DOJ as well as being Depty AG & AG during the Bush #1 Admin. But after his stint as Scrotus' personal Uriah Heep he probably won't be able to get a job in the DoJ as a dog catcher. His credibility is shot to hell.
