monitoring Trump and relevant contemporary events

Quote:

what odds that before the inauguration, Trump leaves the country, and lands somewhere without an extradition treaty?

I'm just saying. Russia doesn't have a treaty with the US.

Imagine the irony of that happening.

Apparently a president can pardon someone for a crime for which they've yet to be indicted. So I'm guessing his entire family is off the hook. As for not being able to pardon himself - has this ever been tested?

You're alleging fraud on no credible evidence,

Will be a pleasant change after the last 4 years for you to have 1st lady of this caliber.

Oddly enough, Chinese officials have yet to congratulate President-elect Biden for his victory. For comparison, they congratulated President Trump a day after the election.

Then again, China-US relations have weakened in the last 4 years.

While you watch Donald Trump’s presidency stagger to its ugly end, always keep in mind how it began: Trump entered the political world on the back of the “birther” conspiracy theory, a movement whose importance was massively underestimated at the time. Aside from its racist undertones, think about what a belief in birtherism really implied. If you doubted that Barack Obama was born in the United States—and about a third of Americans did, including 72 percent of registered Republicans—then that meant you also believed that Obama was an illegitimate president. That meant, in other words, you believed that everyone—the entire American political, judicial, and media establishment, including the White House and Congress, the federal courts and the FBI, all of them—was complicit in a gigantic plot to swindle the public into accepting this false commander in chief. A third of Americans had so little faith in American democracy, broadly defined, they were willing to think that Obama’s entire presidency was a fraud.

That third of Americans went on to become Trump’s base. (...)

Trump is no good at governing, but he has long understood, with the intuition of a seasoned con man, how to create distrust, and how to use that distrust to his advantage. The journalist Lesley Stahl has said he once told her that he attacks the media to “discredit you all and demean you all so that when you write negative stories about me no one will believe you.” He discredited and demeaned public servants such as the National Security Council staffers Fiona Hill and Alexander Vindman too, so that when they spoke honestly about his behavior, no one would believe them either.

Now, having spent months talking darkly about the rules being rigged against him, he has laid a set of traps designed to discredit and demean the electoral system so that some Americans, at least, lose their faith in it. This has been said by others, but it bears restating: That Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan did not finish counting their votes on Tuesday night is no accident. In all of these states, Republican legislators prevented their election boards from counting postal votes before Election Day. In the midst of a pandemic that Democrats take more seriously than Republicans do, after Trump himself told his followers that voting by mail was suspect, the partisan gap between in-person and postal voters was always likely to be stark. (...)

Trump anticipated that vote totals might begin to shift in Joe Biden’s favor. That was why, when he spoke at 2:20 a.m. on Election Night, before results were even remotely clear, he declared the vote “a fraud on the American public” and announced that “we don’t want them to find any ballots at 4 o’clock in the morning and add them to the list.” That’s why Republicans had already launched a rash of frivolous lawsuits, designed to create the appearance that something was wrong.

Trump's Forever Campaign

Twitter Locked My Account For Sharing Post On Voter Fraud

Twitter really really doesn’t want anyone to read this article, “Joe Biden’s votes violate Benford’s Law (Mathematics).” In fact, if you tweet it, you will be locked out of your account, not-so-subtly accused of being some kind of pervert, required to remove it, and have a Twitter message slapped on your page for 14 days as shaming ‘punishment.’

Frankly, the Benford’s Law article is kind of flawed and problematic, but I did find it interesting enough to share and commented that I found it “interesting” in the tweet that Twitter coerced me to remove in order to regain access to my account.

It is not over until the states certify the results and the electors vote. If you wish to put your ignorance on display your wish has just been granted.

You are trying to sell a story. I say it is not over. And everyday it goes on Twitter, the networks, and useful idiots on forums get more defensive when they should, according to them, have nothing to worry about.

It has to be a bitch not to believe your own lies.
