    I'm surprised she's doing even now. Nothing's changed but then again, with Trump Culitists, reality doesn't matter.

    Meaning that their previous refusal to do so... was utterly and completely pointless.



    You know, all of Trump and the GOP's protesting was almost Shakespearean... in that it was a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

    Sounds like a summary of the entire Trump Residency.

    People have been hitting the MacBeth pretty hard now that the Trump Residency is winding down. Bush might have been a black eye in our history, but Trump is will be the malignant tumor.

    Sure it is.

    Trumps ego is too big to do something like this, IMO.

    It might be his Twitter account but odds are he had to have his arm twisted at the very least. The odds that he wrote it himself are slim; odds are an intern was tasked with doing it.

    Trump in 2016 inauguration - "thank you Obama for peaceful transfer, it was brilliant"
    McEnemy a few days ago - *rage* "there was never peaceful transfer of power to trump in 2016 so expect no transfer from us"
    GSA today - ok transfer can begin.
    future still unknown.

    Fucking finally. That's pretty much the final nail, in spite of pending litigation and certification.

    Gotta love that some are still clinging to the "according to plan" narrative.

    I don't speak trump but does the latest tweet mean it's over?
    Tonight for me is a special day. I want to go outside of the house of the girl I like with a gasoline barrel and write her name on the road and set it on fire and tell her to get out too see it (is this illegal)?

    There really isn't anything left he can do to stop it. The states that are certifying the votes, are pretty much all telling their electors to follow the voters. So, I don't think there is enough states that won't follow their voters to overturn it.

    I mean more is this trump *kinda sorta* admitting he can't stop it?

    Other than the raft of pardons, sabotage, destruction of evidence, and whatever he has going on with Iran (Nobel? Excuse me, "Noble"? War?), I....think so? Does anyone know what's happening on Parler now?

    Let me get this straight:

    Trump's "lawyers" are filing an emergency motion to ask permission to file and emergency TRO against, presumably, the entire board of certification to stop the certification of the election in PA.

    And that TRO has a word limit of 6500. Except for that part where they say the motion must not exceed 5200 words. Or maybe that's a separate TRO they're filing right now instead of asking permission for.

    Did- Did the lawyers get their degrees in cereal boxes?
    It almost feels like an insult to cereal boxes. What a fucking clown show.

    I went to the site i think yesterday or day before when there was the threat of a boycott, but apparently it's not like twitter where you can just look w/o an account, and fuck making an account on that cancer.

    Agreed. I'll wait for someone to post screen grabs again.

    Basically. The tide has pretty much turned now. Transition is underway and even the far right media outlets are saying it's the right move.

    Also saw an article earlier saying that the Trump team has already made inquiries with his personal secret service detail to determine which members might be interested in relocating to Florida after he leaves the White House.

    Anyone tracking the MAGA freakouts on Twitter, Parler & Reddit at all? I need to get that sweet, sweet dose of schadenfreude again.

    I just checked brietbart's article, and the top comment basically reads like all of Kokolum's posts.
