Here it is.
Thanks @BruceandNosh for the title.

And still we persist.

Also am stealing this from Mikel Jollett:

REPUBLICANS: Wearing masks is fascism. Health care is fascism. Sensible gun laws are fascism.

"What about declaring martial law to invalidate an election which is, you know, ACTUAL fascism?"

REPUBLICANS: Yeah no, that's fine.

This is where my knowledge of how the US functions let's me down. Is there a serious risk that Truno could do as Flynn suggests or is it just another dose of bullshit?

lionheart · 02/12/2020 20:42

Flynn is sorry-not-sorry.

I wonder if this latest nonsense was part of the pardon deal.

DGRossetti · 02/12/2020 21:29

More toys coming out of the pram.

"Stop Twitter factchecking me, or I'll veto military spending"

www.npr.org/2020/12/02/941019533/trump-vows-to-veto-defense-bill-unless-shield-for-big-tech-is-scrapped

Not really a great message to any GA voters, is it ?

EveryoneRevealsThemselves · 02/12/2020 21:40

Have you seen Trump’s latest speech? He’s utterly lost the plot. This is insane.

He's absolutely bat shit crazy!
EveryoneRevealsThemselves · 02/12/2020 22:10

At the risk of repeating myself (as I have done for nearly 4 years and even more so since Nov 3), why is no one stopping this?

maggiethecat · 02/12/2020 23:05

WTF is going on?! Someone needs to put on big boy pants - now!!!!!

AcrossthePond55 · 03/12/2020 01:24

Rumour has it that Barr is going to get the axe.

www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/12/02/william-barr-gets-cold-shoulder-white-house/

“Does he have faith in Attorney General William P. Barr? Does he still have confidence in him?” asked NBC News’s Kristen Welker.
McEnany declined to commit to that.
“The president, if he has any personnel announcements — you’ll be the first to know,” McEnany said, without answering the question. She quickly asked for another question.

AcrossthePond55 · 03/12/2020 01:27

My son 'who knows someone who knows someone who knows someone' at CNN said he was told by his 'someone' that Barr's getting fired.

So, I guess we'll see.

PerkingFaintly · 03/12/2020 02:20

“The president, if he has any personnel announcements — you’ll be the first to know,” McEnany said, without answering the question

Well yes, when Trump fires someone, he does it on Twitter and the person reads it there.

Remember the Comey firing? IIRC Comey was giving a presentation to the FBI office in another state and saw the notice of his sacking on the TV screen behind him... and thought it was a funny hoax by his team.

lionheart · 03/12/2020 06:24

“I feel like I’ve done something good for the country by making sure that Donald Trump is not going to be president for four more years,” @JoeBiden to @tomfriedman “There’s a lot of work to do. I’m just focused on getting some things done as quickly as I can.”

Roussette · 03/12/2020 07:59

lion that is hilarious... love the bit where Deludi Rudi tries to stop her talking!
The funny thing is... the guy questioning her is a Republican lawmaker so she is accusing him of tampering

OVienna · 03/12/2020 08:39

Yes, I've heard Trump is planning an alternative event too. I mean I would have said an alternative inauguration was impossible but then he has done so many things that we thought were. It's hard to know who would attend though, beyond Rudi and Jenna. I don't think Pence would. I think it is likely he will announce his 2024 candidacy though.

Do we think he will suck up and attend Joe's inauguration? It is soo beyond the pale not to. I mean - think about that. Is that something the Republicans would really want to happen to the party? And yet here we are.

TheNorthWestPawsage · 03/12/2020 08:49

I think I would put money on Trump not attending Biden's inauguration.

The sheer bat-shittery going on now is exhausting. Having to give time to "witnesses" like the woman in lion's link is just bonkers. She obviously thought she was being really smart... JFC! That piece of paper she signed will hopefully send her straight to prison.

The US constitution will prevail but what a fucking mess.

I do worry about Biden's safety. There are enough nut jobs around to think taking him out would be saving America

OVienna · 03/12/2020 09:03

I am worried about Joe too. I have gone on FB to look at Donnie's video. It is too long to watch in its entirety. Has over 500k likes tho. Interestingly on FB he is now described as "Political Candidate" - is that a change? Also, he is only posting from alt-right news sites now.

He's really lost it.

I wonder why they are letting him do this. I am starting to wonder if the strategy is we'd better let him completely implode because to do anything else will make it more possible he can win 2024.

What sort of power does he really have? None. He can't "king make" anyone.

How come no one has spotted Schrodingers Trump ?

The one that claims to still be president because they won while simultaneously announcing their 2024 candidature ?

Soopermum1 · 03/12/2020 09:58

Hi all. Thought I'd introduce myself. I get a lot of my updates here now as the mainstream media seems to have tired of Trump and his antics

Love it! I would call him that if only I could pronounce it!

Didn’t you know that delusional Don thinks he can have a third term and a fourth......
