White House poker. Biden trumps Trump. (Trump thread #115)

[TheNorthWestPawsage]

Here it is.
Thanks @BruceandNosh for the title.

And still we persist.

The jist of the article:

"The Justice Department is investigating a potential crime related to funneling money to the White House or related political committee in exchange for a presidential pardon, according to court records unsealed Tuesday in federal court."

But wouldn't Barr's announcement today that there is no evidence of widespread fraud be ill timed if he is seeking a pardon?

Apparently:

BREAKING: DoJ is investigating a potential crime related to funneling money to the White House in exchange for a presidential pardon, according to a court record unsealed today by chief judge of DC District Court—CNN

Just saw that too EveryoneRevealsThemselves. I wonder who.

Maybe they'll be threads on Trials of Trump?

Trials of Trump sounds like an excellent title for a forthcoming thread

Wow we have feared and said it on these threads, now it is said in a press conference

"It. Has. All. Gone. Too. Far," says @GabrielSterling with Georgia Sec of State after a Dominion tech's life was threatened with a noose. "Mr. President, you have not condemned these actions or this language....all of you who have not said a damn word are complicit in this."

Gosh. What a press conference. Will Trump listen?

Very sadly, I think not.

There should be a lot of shame with those who enable him, the GOP and his supporters who have more than one brain cell.

It’s making me so angry he is trying to take credit for the vaccines. I shouldn’t be surprised as he is scum but he should be praising those involved not using it as yet another reason to say why he thinks he’s so great.

Oh I watched 4 minutes of "fraud witnesses" from Michigan Oversight Committee (which I believe is bipartisan)
It's hilarious. One woman's response to being told "you can't be a poll watcher AND a candidate" was to admit to fraud (after donning an ENORMOUS Trump Stetson during the questioning, then say she would be changing her statement.

Pretty sure that Operation Warp Speed didn't include Oxford /Astra zeneca vaccine and I suspect that one will end up being the global one of choice. Its cheaper and much easier to transport without requiring superfreezeing

More damage.

From BBC news

How has Trump reacted?
President Trump responded by retweeting a video of Mr Sterling's speech, but without referencing the concerns over threats of violence.
Instead he doubled down on his allegations of election fraud: "Rigged election. Show signatures and envelopes. Expose the massive voter fraud in Georgia."

Before and since, he has fired off many more tweets on the same subject, all without credible evidence.
He shared a conspiracy theory about voting machines in Georgia, claimed Mr Biden's win in Arizona was "impossible", the results in Nevada were "fake" and also claimed without proof: "We won Michigan by a lot!"

Gabriel Sterling’s speech is heartbreaking.

Oh and talking of rallies, there are another 39 Covid cases linked to the Florida retirement village where Trump held rallies. Sigh.

I hope he peels away from the GOP and sets up the Maga party. That way the vote will be split and will hopefully ensure 2024 remains Dem.

I do wonder what his mental state will be like in 4 years. He will be sidelined, forever struggling to be heard and appreciated. That will damage his paper thin ego

What I am waiting for is someone to bid and make a contract in no trumps.

DH still avidly follows the Lincoln Project and listens to their podcasts etc. They've not been very active for a week or so, but he said that yesterday they were talking about rumours that Trump was going to hold an alternative Inauguration!

Featuring him I presume?! (I think that might be a step too far even for Trump.)
