GET OUT: US politics November 2020

maybe Emanuel is being appointed bcz Biden is very tired and wants to die

Finally - a lawsuit that's not completely frivolous:

Artist Sues Trump’s Border Wall Contractors for Destroying His “Cheese Wall”
Artist Cosimo Cavallaro claims the construction company SLSCO, hired by Trump to fortify the US-Mexico border wall, “willfully destroyed” his sculpture made of Cotija cheese.

With glassy eyes he looked up helplessly at the advisor “Trump... ...lose?”
Now the advisor is getting teary
“Yes sweetie. Trump lose, trump lose...”

beginning to come to grips with the reality that he will lose the election

The new "increasingly isolated"

"path to losing" is a great phrase

it really is

The road not taken.

path to losing

wake up

congrats! u have lost

Megan McCain’s going to end up in the admin isn’t she

Sheryl Crow is

trying not to get my hopes up that the Georgia Senate seats will flip, but it would be awesome

kinda feels like a fun time to impeach barr and trump. why not, isn't like the house is doing anything else right now?

also con Louie Gohmert into showing up with promises of free chickenfeed then lock him inside a closet

evan i am absolutely on the floor because of that post

haha thanks idk it's funny to imagine him trying to mentally accept losing. "path to losing" i mean come on

Four years ago my question was whether this ends with US troops opening fire on US citizens on US soil. Question still stands.

Wouldn’t be the first time.

why get the troops when the citizens are happy to do it themselves

they've got no chance and no force behind them and they know it. the only question is how much the GSA and Emily Murphy will be able to obstruct and fuck up the transition

I think the GSA will buckle when they feel squeezed. right now, not much motivation to 'get ahead of the President' as "what's a few days, amirite?"

Not even Trump thinks these lawsuits are going anywhere, they're just cover for him to whine for the next four years about how the election was stolen. There can't be many people in the upper echelons of the GOP who'd actually want Trump to run again, surely they'll find a way to kneecap him.

literal scorched earth over here

There’s already a quarter million dead, who among the GOP wouldn’t mind if Trump ordered several thousand more to be killed.

FWIW, at the time of the Kent State shootings, the majority of Americans supported the national guard.

Presumably the majority of Americans now don’t know what you’re talking about

:) I remember it though

xp he'll be 78 in 2024, older than Biden is now, and I have to believe we will be in a very different world by then. can't see him running again

Trump’s going to start vlogging, savaging any Republican who doesn’t pay him protection money.

always the kids

except eric

Trump is exactly the sort of person who, facing an eviction notice, would do donuts all over his own front lawn.

Bad example, everyone getting evicted should fuck the place up.

um, no, speaking as someone who worked for a small scale DIY property manager

I'm good with "most" there, ftr

"most everyone"

Everyone. Landlords shouldn’t exist.

yes yes I know but here in the real world some of them are still cool/actual humans/nor corporations, sarahell to thread

"not" corporations

Don’t make me tap the sign

lol

haha

Everyone. Landlords shouldn’t exist.

Actual human landlords aren’t more acceptable than corporate landlords.

How do you feel about banks and mortgages? Or are you straight up abolish all private property?

Why u trying to gotcha the Marxist

why are you doing this, all of you, have you been on the internet before

What about the state?

Good question! The state shouldn't be evicting anyone in our hellish world, no.

In the better world where all housing is social (either state-owned or communes or co-ops of somekind) or personally owned, we wouldn't be evicting people for failure to pay, obviously. In the event that someone was so loud (or whatever) it became a problem - which comprises what percentage of evictions? - then we're going to have to work up a system for how to deal with it! Perhaps after various processes of noise abatement fail, we'll have social housing for noisy people.

But no one should ever, under any circumstances, be rendered unhoused - which is what eviction in the here and now reality does. And if you get evicted in the here and now, no one should tell you not to fuck up the drywall or that you're a bad person for doing so.

Legit curious, that's all. I wasn't sure if the goal was private/individual ownership or collective ownership.
