Tonight we party. Tomorrow we get to work. Take Georgia for the senate and just imagine what we might accomplish! Makes me feel giddy. ---

Really. 😕 And getting those 2 Senate seat will be a heavy, heavy lift. Possible but quite unlikely. ---

> [@MindsEye\_Watering](#): > > Yeah. There’s a LOT of fuckery that Donny Fail-Fail can accomplish in two months. I believe there’ve been threads on that here… I’m in some fear of how much damage he does to the country out of sheer infantile petulance (um…his, not mine. I’m infantile and petulant too, but, thank God, I’m not in a position to harm the country…) Seriously, I hope the DoD has measures in place to keep him from launching a nuclear strike. Yes, I honestly believe he is capable of that degree of evil. ---

There’s a LOT of fuckery that Donny Fail-Fail can accomplish in two months. What we could hope for is that he spends so much time and capital fighting the faked, stolen election results that there will not be much left for the breaking of things. Hell, if he could, I would expect him to pardon Gary Ridgeway. ---

I’m seeing rumors from “Republican insiders” that Individual 1 is going to resign before inauguration day so that Pence can pardon him. That still won’t help him with state charges. The AG of New York is chomping at the bit. ---

That still won’t help him with state charges. The AG of New York is chomping at the bit. - Ok, I admit I’m chortling over the mental picture of Trump signing his resignation papers, then Mike Pence tearing up the pardon papers right in front of Trump’s face. “Hey, Don, thanks for nothing. Fudge you!!” (Because he’d never say “fuck.”) Would that make Mike Pence #46? I guess it would. ---
