    McConnell fulfills the ticket master role of the senate. All blame can be assigned to him for a cut of the profits.

    McConnel meeting with Barr could be as simple as McConnel making sure he and his fellow Senators can't be implicated for any of the illegal shit that Trump pulled.

    Also, if you all think it's annoying have to wait this long to figure how who won in Alaska, imagine how we feel. We have zero clue what the makeup of our House and Senate is going to be.

    I totally want to get one of those "we just did" hats Biden was wearing but even in safely blue washington I'd worry I'd get attacked by some butt hurt trump fan boy.

    I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.

    I hope there's not a ban on satire in the thread, but if there is I'll take an infraction for The Beaverton:

    Donald Trump announces creation of seven new states, all of whom voted for him

    So many amazing quotes.
    “I’m very proud of these new states of our nation for heeding the call of democracy and voting me into another term as your president,” said Trump. “I’d like to thank the great states of East Dakota, Anti-Portland, and the five others whose names, populations, and geographic locations we’ll figure out in the next week or so.”

    In addition to the two states revealed in Trump’s pronouncement, formal incorporation documents have revealed that the new members of the union include “Florida 2”, “West Russia”, and “Georgia Except Without So Many Black People”.

    Efforts are already underway for victory parties in the some of the newly created capital cities such as Trumpistan, Ivankaberg, Juniortown, and Eric-and-Tiffany-Will-Have-To-Share-One-I-Don’t-Care-What-You-Call-It.

    CBS anchor.
    JUST IN: Puerto Rico’s elections officials have now found 174 boxes of uncounted ballots, 7 days after the election!
    It started at 40.
    Then 100.
    Then 153.
    NOW 174. Each box may hundreds of uncounted ballots.

    No implications for the Presidency, obviously, but don't expect that to stop the conspiracy theorists.

    COULD have implications on their statehood question, potentially.

    How... how do you lose that many boxes of ballots?

    Aren't they STILL all fucked from that hurricane?

    It was that somehow, from within the derelict-horror, they had learned a way to see inside an ugly, broken thing... And take away its pain.

    I'm just so tired of this. Its like the damn ballots again. Just when you think something is done there is some new nonsensical barrier in the US election system. This completely innacountable GSA woman just wrecking everything on her own discretion. Random lawsuits. I'm sure there will just be more and more and more things.

    Can noone just stand up and say that we won and lets move forward. What the hell does Trump have on these people. It's just ridiculous.

    I said the other day when he just fled the question that he's safeguarding his last few paychecks.

    A lie of silence is still a lie, but there's still a world of difference between that and actually giving the lie voice. Pompeo can go to the zoo and suck every dick in the place.

    Half of them are looking at jail time once they're out of office, which is enough for them to grasp at straws.

    Past that, anyone still in the administration at this point is interested in power for its own sake and are convinced they're owed it.

    They absolutely planning a coup, the only real question at this point is if they can get buy-in on it.

    I know we don’t prosecute pre-crime, but if there is any interference with the electoral vote certification process or attempt to circumvent the results all these people need to spend the rest of their lives in prison.

    This is a completely new level of obstruction

    Oh Trump right now, yes. in the next year and a half, it looks like more regular obstruction.
    Why should it? If it works like this, they're going to do that until the next election.

    Just shit in their hands and smear it over he figurative walls of America so no one can do anything else but clean their shit, then accuse the other side of inaction.

    The democrats need to treat the Trump Republicans (and that's most of them nowadays) as what they are: Fascists trying to get their way.

    Either Pompeo's trying to keep Trump calm, or they're up to something and it involves a lot of rats and a lot of fucking.

    Just... more posing, more for Dear Leader's fee-fees, or is there something else going on?

    “What is the downside for humoring him for this little bit of time? No one seriously thinks the results will change,” said one senior Republican official. “He went golfing this weekend. It’s not like he’s plotting how to prevent Joe Biden from taking power on Jan. 20. He’s tweeting about filing some lawsuits, those lawsuits will fail, then he’ll tweet some more about how the election was stolen, and then he’ll leave.”
    These are really foolish people unable to see the danger in their supporters believing an election is fraudulent

    "Senior Republican officials" have been saying this shit about Trump the whole time. They've been wrong the whole time!

    Reminder that people called Hitler "the loud mouth inept idiot" for a long time. Until he killed everyone that said that

    He looks like he thought he was joking, given the rest of his talk.

    However, this is not the time to be making that kind of joke.

    Also, fascists never really joke.

    The entire Republican party is of the opinion that they are entitled to rule over the US, and that elections in which they don't win are not relevant. I don't think Trump "has something" on anyone, I think they just truly believe it's not the place of non-Republicans to win elections.

    He's putting on a show for Trump AND they're up to something.

    Our only hope is that they're as incompetent as they've shown themselves to be.

    ... Well, no. Actually our only hope is that no one goes along with whatever they're planning. Because as we've seen before, no matter how dumb, how repugnant, how utterly stupid and morally vacuous the Trump admin can be, people will still carry water for them.

    Hard to tell if Pompeo is posturing or not, but I don’t think we should assume good faith on Trump’s part.

    I don’t know what they’re gonna try, but I better see something from the House. I know they don’t have a lot of power to stop the ratfucking, but they best not stay silent either.

    I thought Pompeo ignoring the question was—for him—the best answer. Not sure if switching to the worst possible answer was his own idea or not. But once again, they seem to be broadcasting their intentions too early, I think.

    He's putting on a show for Trump because even Fox News has stopped giving 24/7 handy-js and the adults in the building are just trying to keep Trump appeased until they're all out the door. Him sacking Esper probably riled up some people.

    I can understand that, but, I cannot understand what they think will happen if they overturn these results. The economy will crumble, civil unrest will sweep the nation, and all their power will be irrelevant.

    I keep on trying to write about this, but it's just too depressing. There's a perfectly sensible thing to say here that serves everyone's needs...

    "We believe that current counts show Biden has won the election, however, recounts are in progress and we wish to see the results of those and some ongoing legal challenges before we finalize a transition to the winner of the Election."

    Trump is appeased, the public is appeased, and at the end of the re-counts when Biden has won you just end the nonsense.
