Kalamazoo Jambo Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 GSA’s Emily Murphy claiming she reached her decision independently (which is her job) and Trump claiming he gave her direction. One of them is lying. Anyway, in keeping with everything Trump, Emily Murphy’s letter is whiny, self-pitying and full of BS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll lose his remaining court challenges (if they even happen), launch his TV channel and bore the world to death over the next few years - the rantings of a buffoon aren't nearly as interesting if said buffoon isn't running a country!

In his case, having some raving lunatic preaching his many lies and stupid observations, by a media outlet accessible to so many hard of thinking, gullible morons can’t be a good thing. Imagine if Oswald Mosley had had similar media access in the 1930s. What’s the betting, that if he does start up a tv channel, Farage becomes a regular contributor on it. He, and others of his ilk, must be very concerned that, the land of milk and honey, Brexit which Donald Trump would have continued to support, or take advantage of, isn’t very likely now without a proper deal with the EU.

I have my doubts about Trump running pontificating on any TV channel. Contemporary crazies like Alex Jones and Rush Limbaugh etc. are broadcasting for 3 to 4 hours a day. Trump doesn't have the patience for that nor the talent to speak for so long on a frequent basis. Even if he did what would he say? He only really has a few lines which wont suffice to spout from a TV channel 3 to 4 hours daily. You could run through his repertoire in ten minutes flat on day one. Then what? Repeat it for 4 hours every day? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few hours of shouting 3 word slogans, which seems to his limit before rambling, like "stop the steal", "drain the swamp", "lock her up", "4 more years", etc.. You're probably correct, he couldn't fill an hour a day without introducing some of his mates to fill in the blank spaces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm waiting for the conga line of organisations, at or around the end of January, queueing up to whack him with a baseball bat. First up, I'm predicting the IRS will wrap up their (long outstanding) audit of his tax affairs. Anybody guess who'll come next? Maybe Melania?? His Deutsche Bank personally guaranteed loans don't fall due until 2023, but the word is they'd like to flog the loans to someone else. Problem is, they can't find anyone willing.

'zackley! The correct, professional, letter would have said, 'Congratualations on winning the presidency. We're ready to get going with your transition to power. Here's what you've got and what we can do.' The rest of the shite is in response to the radio silence over the last two weeks; two weeks during which she and her department could quite easily have issued a press release explaining that they were biding their time because recounts and legal challenges meant the outcome was uncertain. She could have reassured all parties that they were on standby to manage the process of getting the president up and running by 20th January. Instead of that, we get two long whiny-assed paragraphs of Oh, Pity Me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then what? Repeat it for 4 hours every day? Whatever he does in the coming years - if he's not in jail - it will surely include dozens of "plants" in the audience, to whoop and holler at every sentence regardless of what the maniac is talking about. He craves applause, adulation, crowds chanting his slogans etc. Some (probably most) of these rally speeches he did in the last year or so were absurd - just re-running his version of the 2016 campaign and the election results, state by state. With all the whooping and hollering, he made those last several hours. What do you think Pence must be thinking right now ? The "straight man" to Trump's out-of-control egotistic buffoon. Is he quietly playing out the final days, leaving Trump to rage against the electoral process, and just biding his time to have a go in 2024 in the hope that he'll attract votes from nutjob Trumpets as well as moderate Rep voters ? Or does he actually believe that the election was "stolen" ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trump's attempted coup is still underway and everyone in the USA is simply standing idly by watching him. A lame-duck president is trying to overcome the results of a democratic election simply because he is too immature to accept defeat, and nobody is trying to stop him. The Republicans won't try to stop him because a Trump coup would benefit them, and the Dems won't try to stop him because they're pathetic and spineless. It's madness beyond words.

I think he will squirm and whine up until the Electoral College vote in mid-December. Once that vote elects Biden as President, Trump will have to face the fact that the gig is up. But he won't ever concede, he won't invite Biden to come to the WH to meet him, and he will never acknowledge Biden as President. I suspect that he will leave the White House in a huff sometime after mid-December, but before the Inauguration in January, and will not attend the Inauguration.

It is utterly irrelevant what Trump will do in this regard. Assuming Biden is confirmed, then at 12:00:01 on January 20th, Trump will become a trespasser on Federal property and will be dealt with accordingly. The Secret Service don't give a shit about politics. They are there to protect the sitting President (although as an ex-President he is entitled to some level of protection for life). Makes you wonder if he has treated the agents looking after him the same way he has treated so many others, including injured/dead veterans, who actually WANTS that gig? I suspect there will be more than a few who will gleefully escort him from the premises if that comes about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
