Senate The US Politics 2.0 Discussion Thread

Biden chose Ron Klain as his Chief of Staff. He’s moving quickly. Good.

 

Looking forward to all of the armchair psychological analyses of Biden. Mot quite as much material to work with but still a hefty tome.

 

I doubt it for two reasons:
1) Unless Donald Trump dies, he's going to hold the Republican Party hostage to nominate him again in 2024.
2) Senator Rick Scott (aka Adult Bat Boy, Florida Voldemort) wants that 2024 nod as well, and he ****ing hates DeSantis (the feeling's mutual). He will burn down everyone and everything to stop DeSantis.

 

Can trump steal the election even though the courts are throwing out his cases of voter fraud?

What could finally happen on Inauguration Day if Trump still doesn’t except defeat and the senate still goes along with trump on that day?

 

No.

He’s gone. It’s just a matter of how he wants to leave and how much damage he intends to cause on his way out.

 

The only way Trump can stay on beyond that date is if he declares a dictatorship and garners the support of the military in that regard.

When there is talk of forcefully removing him from the WH if he refuses to leave, they're not kidding.

 

Yeah, it looks like he plans to leave, but never concede - and much like in 2016, he's going to primarily spend the next four years 'running for office' (i.e. getting idiots to give him money for free).

 

A lot it seems.

 

I can see Trump spoil it for both of them by running for Governor of Florida himself in 2022. Sounds like how Trump would repay DeSantis' loyalty to him, take his job and ruin his future political aspirations instantly by making DeSantis a political rival who'd be reviled by Trump supporters for the foreseeable future.

At that point Scott would be too afraid or too smart to run for President 2024. Better to watch comfortably from the safety of Senate than risk getting dragged down too.

 

I think my dad got her the teacher's union job so I'm down...

 

Oh, good - it's time for the "Million MAGA March" because white nationalists are ****ing unoriginal and still sensitive over underperforming at rallies. Here's the Oath Keepers' take:
“We must refuse to EVER recognize this as a legitimate election, and refuse to recognize Biden as a legitimate winner, and refuse to ever recognize him as the president of the United States.”
**** every last one of them.

 

2024 is just a scam @blackmyron since Trump will be broke and dealing with indictments along with dodging creditors (why do you think he is selling his helicopters, he is broke) then still along with well yet another divorce! The party bigwigs btw publically are saying they support Trump but deep down they are bleeping honked off. As I said before, he became the first GOPer to lose Arizona and Georgia since GHWB in 1992. That was part of the "red wall" and while you might think "Well that is only 27 votes, who really cares about those" remember the GOP is already at kinda of a disadvantage with the EC map plus now they have lost a couple states over the past twenty years (Virginia, New Hampshire and Colorado) while they really only picked up one (Iowa) so the map is already shrinking on them. So the GOP brass deep down is fuming that Trump lost both of them and now the Democrats see them as states they can flip. Is it Texas? No but again those are two states that should be red easily but is no longer again thanks to Trump. I really do not see the party really just forgetting that especially as he comes into a possible 2024 primary old, broke, divorced and fending off indictments left and right. As I said earlier, the government both federal and state have unlimited resources to throw at this guy and he really is not ready for the onslaught to say nothing of the creditors coming to say "time to pay up". Oh and Twitter is banning him so really his reach will be very minimum as FNC is already lining itself as the "resistance" to Biden rather then the "Trump Network" still which I mention earlier they did very well with the morons being the opposition to literally whatever Obama said for eight years.

And man @anakinfansince1983 you really want to send the cons into orbit, make Randi Weingarten the secretary of education would send them to another universe LOL! I mean they are apparently trigger by his COVID-19 co-chairs since "they fought against big tobacco and were the reason why we have food labels that contain calorie content". Such socialists, they actually want you to know how many calories in a food item so you can make a inform decision on whether to eat it or not LOL!

Edit: And what do you think honk Trump off more?

1. That the Arizona AG (who is a Republican) came out and said that is very unlikely Trump can overturn Biden's apparent win and there was no evidence of fraud?

2. His "friend" Boris Johnson and a Tory saying this on the House of Commons earlier today:



I go with #1. Deep down Trump had to know Johnson and every single ally hated him. But another GOPer stabbing him in the back when it mattered most? Ouch!

 

Whoops... the RNC Chair managed to accidentally acknowledge that Biden was the president-elect!



She deleted it shortly afterwards when she realized the implication of saying that Kamala Harris would be the 'deciding vote'.

 

Sounds about right. Note though that according to this, Trump literally believes he won. He’s lived in a fantasy world of his own making for so long, I don’t doubt it. The problem is he’s got tens of millions of people who’ve joined that world and the complicit conservative media... it’s a potential powder keg.

WSJ...

“Many of the advisers and lawyers said they doubt the effort would succeed and say it is aimed largely at appeasing Mr. Trump, who believes the election was stolen from him and expects his legal team to keep fighting.”

Trump is the grifter that has been doing it so long he’s begun believing in his own grift.

 

Amazing how half of America is being held hostage by a crazy old man and his crazy followers. One of the lowest points ever in the history of the country.

 

From Tallahassee news yesterday:

"A group of more than 100 Trump supporters gather in front of the Florida Historical Capitol as they await the arrival of a "Stop the Steal Caravan" making its way from Austin, Tex. to Washington, D.C. in protest of the 2020 election results"

.... and that's basically all I could find on their visit, actually. Another fizzled profa tantrum.

 

Even Satan himself is saying Trump should concede.

Karl Rove has said Trump should accept the results and help the transition.

 

Karl...you socialist you. Come on, get with the con man. Trump and GOP gotta pinch every penny from the cult while there's still time. That doesn't happen if Trump concedes that he's a loser.

The GOP is the best commercial ever for education reform in this country. They truly are just stupid and yes that is a major problem because we need two smart, honest and viable parties to make our country strong. All we got the Democrats who are okay but nothing great and the American Nazi Party made up of complete idiots.

Maggie Habermann @Kiki Jinn was on AC a bit ago. Said Trump knows he lost and is just living in a moment of time to see what happens next even though in the end he knows he needs to walk. He has no grand plan other then living for today and trying to fleece the faithful for more $$$ but most likely he finds this really entertaining therefore wants to tune in on what happens next. He is a cross between a con artist and Luther from "The Warriors:



The Republican Party truly is the best commercial on why we need serious education reform in this country. My God they are just so dumb!

 

his term actually ends no matter what.

 

Ok great.

 

Trump currently has 72,038,971 votes. Biden has the much bigger number of 77,151,976.

So of course Trump just declared on twitter has 73,000,000 votes. He just rounded himself up nearly 1,000,000 votes.

Such an insecure loser.
