According to the polls Democrats are in the lead in both Georgia Senate races.

That would be amazing if Trump cost them the Senate.

 

The split in the GOP is happening, and I honestly think Trump and his family will try and form his own political party after this.

 

Imagine how the power split would be if 7 or 8 senators left the Republicans' to join up with Trump.

 

Just listened to the full call. He sounds terrified at points, but also sounds like he believes every word of it.  This is what happens when you surround a tyrant with yes men/women.  There are still loads of people in the US think that the earth is flat and God created the world a few thousand years ago FFS.

 

PS -  **** America

And in fact the apparent lead is suspected to be at least in part due to ever more people becoming alarmed by his clear insanity and the willingness of so many in the Republican party to join in the insanity.

Not that Trump will give the proverbial flying. He couldn't care less about the Republican party. He would have run for the Democrats if he thought that were a better bet.


As we all know his greatest concern now and always has been is that the shield of the office is about to be removed in a little over 2 weeks time.

 

That's all he cares about and that's the reason behind this insane meltdown as the hard light of reality begins to slowly shine through even the dense mental fog shrouding what passes for a thought process in Trump.

The release of the call is damning for him. It's a recorded incitement to commit election fraud. Which may be in part why Raffensberger released it.

He's smart enough not to trust Trump and what Trump may later say. I suspect Raffensberger wanted it to be known for 100% certain that he was never part of any conspiracy to commit election fraud.

Exactly why Barr has jumped too.

 

Trump is gonna take all those either too stupid, or desperate with him.  There won't be a Republican in power to give them pardons.

 

The fact the McConnell is having none of it says it all.

 

Also, the other fact that your need a lawyer on a call to Trump is pretty amazing too.

Yes they do have death certificates just like we do, they also have social security records and deaths can be checked via that as well.

Trump is just showing how ignorant & uneducated he really is.

First Monday of the year and MSNBC going in hard on Trump with George Conway as a guest commentator. :rofl:

 

Wonder if they’ll get Kelly Ann on at some stage.

One thing that struck me was when the bursds that was on the call was challenged over her claim that there were 4,500 dead people who voted. She was told that the actual number was 2 and then started whining that they'd done their best to find numbers via obituaries and whinging that they hadn't had the best way of checking for the right numbers. She seemed to miss the point she'd raised that there were, perhaps, better ways to find the actual numbers than the one she and Trump were relying on and the point that those alternative ways had delivered results that were roughly 4,500 out from her own.

 

Absolutely barking mad stuff from Trump and hopeless flailing around from his followers while I thought that Raffensberger was patient and to the point.

Speaking of Kelly Ann - has anyone watched Death to 2020 on Netflix?  Lisa Kudrow takes her off perfectly on it!

I quite enjoyed it.  It starts off from the Australian Bush Fires right through the pandemic to Trump.  Very strong cast with Hugh Grant and Samuel L Jackson also included.

Aye, but is a dogged determination to completely misrepresent whatever hard evidence you see before you, no matter how credible and especially if it paints El Presidente in a bad light,  not a prerequisite to being in the Trump camp anyway?

 Its funny I listened to the call, to me it was more of the same, the only thing that made me sort of smile, while just shaking my head was the statement that votes were made by dead people. Surely a more true statement would have been votes were made by persons using the identification of dead people. He has made that statement on numerous occasions since the election, you would think someone would correct him, or is he that frightening and threatening that they are afraid to do so, remember he has the button at his finger, and there are many who say he wants, and may carry out an action against Iran, if he goes like some of the movie characters in the past who were similarly mentally unstable who has the balls to step in and stop him, my opinion, no one. It has also been suggested that if he did prior to the Inauguration he could use some existing power to continue his Presidency in a time of armed conflict.

It's hard to pick out "highlights" from his incoherent babbling but that bit struck me as well. It had me wondering how a 'stable genius' who knows 'all the best words' could struggle so badly to put any of those words into a meaningful order.

 

Another point of note was the multiple repetition of the figure 11,779. It was like Raymond Babbage reciting 'Who's on first'.

I've said it before - it's time to Truman Show the deranged lunatic and let him think he's still important until it's time for security to move in and escort him off the premises.

It seems far fetched but it wouldn't surprise me if he has to be removed physically.

And meanwhile COVID continues it’s progress but Trump is all over Twitter encouraging people to attend a rally in Washington on the 6th and make it the biggest ever public event in the cities history (unlikely).

I only found out a few months ago that it had been appropriated by the white power types. I think it's something to do with the three raised fingers representing the letter W and the index finger and thumb circle representing a big arsehole.

 

In a smiliar vein, I've only just been told that my Charlie Chaplin moustache could be deemed by some to be offensive!

👍Yes, I watched it a few days ago.    Very clever parodies and comedy script, although when they covered the George Floyd murder I was thinking "how can they make comedy out of this" ?   Especially with SLJ involved.     Diane Morgan's Cunk character is tailor-made for spoof documentaries like this  😀

Good to see the woke madness within the Democrats has started early. At the end of the traditional prayer at the opening of congress Emanual Cleaver said Amen and awoman. :rofl:

The stories about Trump fleeing to Prestwick Airport are amusing. Would be hilarious if that happened. He seems very scared of his imminent arrest.

Same, although why should we let brainless morons dictate the meaning of a gesture everybody else already uses? Cretins.

Amen, a word of Hebrew origin meaning "so be it".

 

Awoman, meaningless word that immediately identifies the user as a complete banger.

If the Don is heading for Prestwick we need our top officer to be waiting for him. How about it Bob? Polish up those boots and get back over here for one more mission!

His response - that it was a light-hearted pun intended to recognize the record number of women serving in the new Congress.

Not buying it.  Sorry.

 

The speech he makes before saying it is deadly serious, then he just chucks in a bit of humour at the end.  Na, not buying it.
