GET OUT: US politics November 2020

Nothing is going to come of the “voter fraud” lawsuits. This is Mickey Mouse stuff. This is the Four Seasons Total Landscaping.

I don’t think starting a war with Iran at this point makes sense as a strategy so I doubt it will happen. Sarah Kendzior is being alarmist.

M-I-C

C U in jail!

K-E-Y

Y? Because you did stuff

The fact that he has been playing golf everyday basically is a good sign.

If Trump was going to maintain power with war, “Iran” would have attacked LA in October, assisted by MS-13.

So Buddy Saltzman has weighed in?

Yeah it’s too late for that. In any case he isn’t good at using a crisis to consolidate power. He a lot of chances this year and he just whined and moaned, pretty much.

otm

feel like a guy who's been Tweeting FOX News clips all day ain't gonna wage a successful coup

probably not, but he did become president doing that

Haha was just gonna say similar. And someone with real evidence of massive voter fraud takes it to court rather than tweeting that Sean fucking Hannity is gonna expose it.

Xp to frogbs

probably expose his dick to an intern tbrr

he's over. he can't come back. we are going to erase him.

How the fuck would a war with Iran change anything? I have to stay president now because we are bombing the middle east? When has that not been true in the last 25 years or so? Ready to be done with these resistance grifter.

Iran and Ilost

I fought Allah and Allah won

lmao

This headline is a little bright spot.

Gun stocks tumble after upbeat vaccine news, lack of civil unrest

I would have sex with all this resistance grifter

Straw poll I would like to give to WI & PA Republican state legislators:
Do you find President Trump's replacement of top defense and intelligence officials:
* Worrisome
* Glorious

*Comforting

I just hope it will be easy for Biden to replace them

Tata would give him more flexibility still. In various tweets and talk-show appearances, he has slandered former President Obama as an “anti-Semite,” a “Manchurian candidate,” and a “terrorist leader” peddled the notion that a “deep state cabal” is undermining Trump; accused former President Bill Clinton of “sedition and/or treason;” and denounced House Speaker Nancy Pelosi as a “violent extremist.” When he was first nominated for the Pentagon job, he apologized for some of these statements, saying they “are not indicative of who I am.”

bodacious!

Geniuses at work!

And so, the day ends with the Trump campaign dismissing its own appeal from the Nevada Supreme Court.

Some day, I will reflect back on the Trump legal strategy and be like 🙃. pic.twitter.com/JkngYDUn53

Don't have to appeal if you've got the military-backed coup all lined up.

more on that dismissal: https://www.reviewjournal.com/news/politics-and-government/nevada/trump-campaigns-appeal-on-nevada-election-process-dismissed-2181066/

interesting one-two here in Ned's thread:

I respect that you’re laser focused on your job winning court cases for the Democratic Party. But please be aware that this isn’t about court cases. It’s about flooding the market with enough doubt to justify GOP state legislatures choosing their own electors.

— Alec Bojalad (@alecbojalad) November 11, 2020

But in states like Wisconsin, the Dem governor also confirms the electors votes before they are sent. In Nevada, we have a dem legislature. Michigan’s elector’s votes are also confirmed by the governor. There’s a lot of holes in that plan.

xps - that filing requests that the appeal be dismissed due to a settlement with the respondents. it doesn't say what the terms of the settlement are, but promises to let the court know.

so...???

Don't have to appeal if you've got the military-backed coup all lined up.

Stupid shit. There's nothing in it for the military to cooperate in a coup d'etat on Trump's behalf. They get everything they ask for, regardless of who's president.

also don't believe that state legislators will be choosing their own electors

Wisconsin, Nevada, and Arizona also have laws prohibiting "faithless electors". PA does not, but the Republican state majority leader already said they're going to follow the law and not what Levin et al are suggesting.

Levin... Lenin hmmmm

I am the walrus

People be lookin for any gahdamn reason to be scared rn. Which, y'know, kudos to Trump for getting exactly what he wants on that front.

The SCOTUS invalidated all those state laws against faithless electors when deciding a case that arose from several electors who chose not to vote for Clinton in 2016, as part of a pathetic attempt to attract enough faithless electors to prevent Trump's presidency. tbf, there was a solid constitutional argument for their decision, because the electoral college was designed in 1789 to be just that fucked up and nothing has fundamentally changed how fucked up it is.

? they just reaffirmed the right of states to punish faithless electors a few months ago.

Well it’s bound to be one or the other

Neanderthal, your link proves you are correct and I am wrong. Perhaps I was thinking about a lower court ruling, or maybe my brain went soft. Flip a coin.

brainworms iirc

At this point, I'm 100% convinced that republicans are stalling out of fear of their increasingly-insane constituents. Absolutely everything else aside, who on god's green earth wouldn't rather try to work alongside Biden rather than Donny Diaperdump for the next four years?

Someone who wants to finish replacing the federal judiciary with 36 year old Federalist Society slugs, probably.

misanthropic egomaniacs

Rep. Bob Notanazibuthitlerhadsomegoodideas never actually has to work alongside Trump.

I just wonder sometimes what the endgame is for these scumfucks. Like at what point do they shed their human shells and go full shoggoth, to writhe for all eternity in the hellpits of their dark master. What is the ultimate point of their fetid, joyless, life-negating existence?

they're white and rich, and self-abasement is just one of their soft skills
