Re: US Election
sh.t. I've been experimenting with extreme news deprivation - no websites, only messaging on apps, etc. - and I swear I forgot for literally some of today that this was all going on. Like entire hours where I didn't think about Trump being a cock.
It was nice. I think I've found a new strategy for surviving 2021.

Re: US Election
So if trump is selling presidential pardons to raise some much needed cash; and if he is also asking about presidential pardons for his children: how much will he charge his children?

Re: US Election
The (first?) Trump Presidency 2016-2020(?) in a nutshell.
This place is not a place of honor, no highly esteemed deed is commemorated here, nothing valued is here.
What is here was dangerous and repulsive to us.
This place is best shunned and left uninhabited.

I would imagine that there is quite a fight going on at the equivalent of the Inland Revenue office over who gets to check the Trumpettes' tax returns next year.dyqik wrote: ↑Wed Dec 02, 2020 11:10 amOnce from each of their employers.Brightonian wrote: ↑Wed Dec 02, 2020 10:18 amThe maximum possible - the children will just claim if back on expenses.

Re: US Election
From a Republican, too. I may have a lot of disagreement with Sterling and Raffensperger politically, but I can respect them for standing up for democracy and rule of law in the face of the pressure they are under. It isn't something that should take courage, but at the moment, it does.Vertigowooyay wrote: ↑Tue Dec 01, 2020 10:03 pmRighteous f.cking anger:

On a more cynical note, I can't imagine this helping Loeffler or Purdue - the latter of them forced to resort to an ad right now that just says "Totally Exonerated No Wrongdoing", suggesting the corruption allegations are sticking, which they should, because it doesn't look like Purdue did anything in the senate without buying and selling stocks to benefit from his insider knowledge and decisions, whether it was of the coronavirus, or of submarine maintenance contracts, etc.

Re: US Election
I forget the Sidney Powell character's alignment on the various dimensions of dysfunction we can use to categorise these peri-Trump inadequates.
Is she one of the coke heads? One of the piss heads? A sufferer of dementia? Brain damaged in some other way? A secret agent? A YouTuber playing a prank? Is she a p.rn star and this is all an especially long intro scene with especially unrealistic dialogue? Facts are preferred, but wild speculation is also fine because it doesn't really matter.

Number 3/4 who thinks they are number 5 is the current consensus, I think.
Scarily, she's a former prosecutor, and so there's a fair number of criminal cases that probably need to be reëxamined.
Oh, and I think your list missed out "shameless grifter".

Re: US Election
Another fine moment in the Sidney Powell subplot today: a rally in Georgia at which she urged Georgia Republicans to boycott the Senate runoff election in January. Politico described this rally as "even more bonkers than Rudy Giuliani’s news conference", which is high praise.

Re: US Election
To steal lpm's metaphor.... the writers are pulling out more, just when you think you know where it's heading.
Trump is now rumoured to be considering firing Barr - who's going to want that lame duck AG role apart from a complete Trump-nutter?
Just after McEnany does a presser where she asks people to dial it back, but also says there's threats of violence from both sides, Trump releases a 46 minute rant of epic lunacy. Apparently it was statistically impossible for Biden to win.... well there you are...
The Powell rally was all dressed up in fervent patriotism.
This is not going to end well. Part of me wonders if the GOP are going to 25th amendment him away the last minute and scoop up that $170 million of his election result fighting fund.

Mind you, I suppose there's not really any good defence of "I wanted to try to steal an election"

Re: US Election
Admitting to an attempt at electoral fraud sounds a bit career-limiting for a lawyer, or so you'd hope.
