And the comments are great; intelligent, insightful… and SO much fun to read. ---

> [@iiandyiiii](#): > > QANON denial schadenfreude on Voat Caution: Do not visit VOAT if you have any other plans for your Saturday. It’s so tempting to read comment after comment, from people who truly believe the election is about to be completely overturned. You see, _If it can be shown that ANY Biden associates are behind the Big Steal, the Election is OVER. No Recounts, no Audits, no media spin. Sleepy will be DISQUALIFIED and POTUS will win EVERY STATE!_ And I did not know this before, but every lost lawsuit, every congratulations to Biden from foreign leaders, every rebuke of the President by Republicans… it’s all part of Donald’s, and the _Patriots’_ plan! Many exhortations to just sit tight, because there isn’t long to wait until Trump declares himself President and it’s all overturned. Do NOT give up FAITH! ---

I still think his Presidential Library ought to be in repurposed emergency morgue trucks. Hopefully by some point we won’t need them and it seems fitting. Instead of an admission ticket they hand you a toe tag with your name on it. ---

The best part is how Ms. Murphy wrote in her letter: > I was never directly or indirectly pressured by any Executive Branch official—including > those who work at the White House or GSA—with regard to the substance or timing of my decision. And then AFTER the letter was sent, Trump tweeted on his account\* > Nevertheless, in the best interest of our Country, I am recommending that Emily and her team do what needs to be done with regard to initial protocols, and have told my team to do the same." Right buddy. You “told her” do do this. After she did it. And despite the fact that you had no authority to tell her anything. And also despite the fact she explicitly said that you had nothing to do with her decision. Asshole lying Trump. (\*) Of course, the tweet was too articulate- it seems likely that Trump did not write it. It is possible that Trump never even saw it. It’s also possible that he’s unaware of it even now.
