Yeah, am wondering about the degree to which he has retreated into fantasy. Would love to be a fly on the wall in the White House.

 

[StoneRoad]

Anyone gonna tell tangerine man, do you think ?

It is highly unlikely that he could twist 38 EC voters into becoming faithless, isn't it [hopeful face emjoi]

 

[teqniq]

He has actually announced a press conference, but people are predictably taking the piss.

 

[MickiQ]

Various people now calling NC for Trump and GA for Biden, giving a consensus EC map of 306-232

Question for you as our resident expert, how will these runoff elections in GA work does everyone get to cast two votes or have they divided up the state into 2 halves

It's two separate races so everyone gets to vote in each one. One Dem and one GOP in each race

Remember that he is Secretary of State in the Trump administration. He's a total cunt. He may well be enjoying making people worried just cos that's the kind of thing he enjoys.

After thinking on it a couple of days, I think this is the most likely explanation. Its still an outrageous statement to make publicly.

Sorry if this has already been posted & I missed it.

Trump lawyers withdraw lawsuit in Arizona
An update from Tom McCarthy, who wrote earlier on Friday about the Trump law firm withdrawing from a Pennsylvania case challenging the election.
Tom writes:

Separately, lawyers for the Trump campaign have withdrawn a lawsuit in Arizona, conceding that the case would not move enough votes to change the election result in the state. “Since the close of yesterday’s hearing, the tabulation of votes statewide has rendered unnecessary a judicial ruling as to the presidential electors,” Trump lawyer Kory Langhofer told an Arizona state court, in news first reported by the Wall Street Journal.

Trump repeats false Covid claims and attacks New York governor Cuomo in first remarks since election loss – as it happened

Apparently something about 'Operation Warp Speed', as commander in chief of the space cadets.

Trump attacks N.Y. gov, says he'll withhold Covid vaccine from state until Cuomo approves

In his first public comments in over a week, Trump, who is yet to concede in the election, criticized Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who said he planned to have a panel of experts review a vaccine.

One of the things that annoys me is the arrogance of people with power who can't run their own lives, and can't properly run policy, yet they still insist that they know better than the rest of us how to run things. Here's a classic example:

• In a new Wall Street Journal piece, billionaire Charles Koch expressed regrets over fostering partisanship.
• He told the Journal that his new mission is to work across party lines on issues he sees as key, citing the economy, criminal justice, and immigration as examples.
• The Journal reports that in a new book, Koch writes: "Boy, did we screw up! What a mess!"
• Koch and late brother David helped fund the rise of the Tea Party movement, which pushed the Republican Party significantly to the right over the last decade.

Billionaire Charles Koch, who has funneled millions into the GOP and conservative movement, reportedly expressed misgivings over how those millions have fueled excessive partisanship.


n an interview with The Wall Street Journal's Douglas Belkin, Koch spoke about his new mission of unification across partisan lines.

He also shared with the Journal some lines from his new book, "Believe in People: Bottom-Up Solutions for a Top-Down World," saying he regrets his partisanship and the divisions it fostered. "Boy, did we screw up! What a mess!" he writes.

Koch and late brother David were major players in the rise and shaping of the Tea Party movement. The brothers founded conservative organization Americans for Prosperity in 2004. In her 2015 book "Dark Money," New Yorker writer Jane Mayer tracked how they utilized their fortunes to amass political influence and further a libertarian agenda.

"We did not create the Tea Party," Koch wrote in an email to Belkin. "We shared their concern about unsustainable government spending, and we supported some Tea-Party groups on that issue. But it seems to me the Tea Party was largely unsuccessful long-term, given that we're coming off a Republican administration with the largest government spending in history."

Republicans out of the white house and suddenly he wants bipartisan stuff?

 

[yield]

Yeah right. The coke brothers knew what they're buying.

 

[Yuwipi Woman]

Republicans out of the white house and suddenly he wants bipartisan stuff?

Yep. Its just another power play, and you have to buy his new book to find out what the plan is. I file this in the same folder I put the Republican's sudden interest in balancing the Federal budget.

 

[two sheds]

He's late

 

[cuppa tee]

He's late

....the late Donald

 

[agricola]

his hair dye must have a half life of a couple of days

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

He's trying to claim credit for the upcoming vaccine.

 

[Calamity1971]

5 times faster ' say it again' , 5 times faster.
Was he supposed to read that and not say it ?

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

God, I'd forgotten just what an appalling public speaker he is.

 

[weltweit]

....the late Donald

According to BBC World Service he is speaking now.

 

[jakethesnake]

Mind boggling that this bellend became president.

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

Oooooh, he almost slipped up and said "the next administration" then
