GET OUT: US politics November 2020

Plus all the bridges and airports that will be named after him.

Thread moves too fast--sorry.

big beautiful bridges

Unperson

- his golf clubs hemorrhaging members

Omg, Trump President library should be an Escape Room filled with Trump branded bullshit and bric a brac.

I've always said/quoted that Trump will be the first president in history to have fewer things named after him than when he was elected.

Oh I'm certain most of his followers are still full-blown ride or die at this point and probably will be at least through Biden's inauguration, but once Trump is out of office and no longer the obsession of the media and facing numerous legal issues and rapidly dwindling finances, etc., I feel like we might start to see the bloom come off the rose a bit. Not that Trumpists won't just park their crazy somewhere else, but still. Sad!

guys

no more trump

He should buy a big fleet like L. Ron Hubbard and take them all on a never-ending cruise.

Also the likes of this to look forward to. (And I know this thread hates such stuff.) Will be shot in two separate rooms if it ever happens.

Biden lead just went up in PA

lol no way will there be a class reunion with this asshole. First of all ... he has no class. (har)

Never in a million years. He won't even attend the inauguration.

The cruelest cut: Trump lost 4 of the top 5 states for boat ownership (CA, MI, MN and WI)

I’m crackin’ open that fiiiiine Bordeaux in about 10 mins.

Surely the Trump Library will be at Mar-a-Lago or some other Trump property and will pay an exorbitant amount of rent and feature very highly paid personnel drawn from the Trump family and associates and will be mostly a giant gift shop.

A fun footnote:

NEWS:

The day after Steve Bannon called for Fauci and Christopher Wray's head, his attorneys said they plan to withdraw from his criminal case.

All these weirdos are going to get gathered up in the "Fun Footnote" section of this chapter of American history.

wau

the tear in the anal fissure that is Trump's GOP is widening, soon there will be two distinct assholes

That seems like it's too few tbh.

One only slightly noisier than the other.

Give Trump credit for this and this alone: he is prone to ridiculous boasts, but even though he's never said it out loud he may, in fact, actually be the biggest asshole of all time.

xps Simon H.: Standard-Issue Conservatism With Trumpist Characteristics

There just aren't a lot of points where Trump varied from past GOP platforms. His opposition to trade deals with China, and cheap undocumented workers / H1-B visa skilled workers, while a 180° shift from past views of Republican elites, isn't really much of a sacrifice for them.

Worth noting, it was non-DLC Dems who formed the opposition to NAFTA and most favored nation trading status for China (then, on labor rights and environmental grounds). So on the trade issue, Trumpism could be said to draw the GOP towards the non-DLC Dem position. Given how potent an issue this was for Trumpism, I wouldn't mind at all if Dems reconsidered their alignment with the DLC here. Favoring a globalism that forces lower-skill Americans to compete with workers in low-income countries is just a losing issue at the polls.

CNN reporting that people in the White House are managing the president's anger and frustration

sadly though if the disgrace of Dubya and his 20% approval level and hundreds of thousands of deaths didn't fell the GOP, this won't either.

"you go talk to him!"
"no, YOU, I had to listen to him scream last night!"

"The first thing is going to be: Who's left, who's been loyal and who's been competent?” said one Republican close to the White House. “That's going to be the first criteria. Who's been loyal and who's competent.”

I applaud this newfound interest in competence. Alas, too little, too late.

Am gratified that it looks like Carter will outlive Trump's presidency.

(And if he does so with both an electoral college win and, crossed fingers, senate wins in Georgia to see as well, hey.)

Would love to see Trump purge the White House of people who are going to out of a job in 2 months anyway

Trump is gonna crawl back into his hole and the children of Derry, Maine are safe for another 27 years

Speaking of JC, I listened to a recent Sound Opinions episode about him and they kept talking about him in the past tense, I was terrified that he'd died!

hahaha

When Trump was elected, I decided I’d only wear black ties. It was a personal and private act of mourning. I didn’t say anything about it. And almost no one noticed over these past four years.

CNN reporting that people in the White House are managing the president's anger and frustration

Please, please, CNN, just say it.

You know how.

Come on.

Eye-so-late-ed

Here we go

Sources close to the White House said some senior officials inside the White House and the campaign are beginning to quietly back away from Trump, in acts of self-preservation, as the returns in Pennsylvania and Georgia indicate the President will not win reelection. https://t.co/Pi50hRjavO

Just call it someone, please.

He's going to have to do all the upper-decking by himself. MAYBE Junior and Eric will help.

Doth not Brutus bootless kneel?

what does "quietly back away" even mean?

Why should the networks call? I half joke but this brings down the curtain on The Trump Presidency Spectacle and the attendant coverage and ratings and hate-watchings and etc. Ad rates are about to crash. Wring out everything while you can!

An image of Homer and a hedge comes to mind.
