I’m not sure why, but the fact that he’s planning his own inauguration and “continuation of power” is especially horrifying to me. And he’s done a LOT to horrify over the last 4+ years. ---

So Individual 1 signed an agreement with Palm Beach County back in the 90s declaring that Mar a Lago would not be a residence. It’s also on the tax roles as not a residence. So not only will he not be a legal resident when he gets booted out of Washington, but it appears that he voted illegally by using Mar a Lago as his official residence on voter rolls. ---

> [@eschereal](#): > > When twitter suspends his account, he will start posting from @WhitestHouse to inform us that he has filled the **Ovular** office with canisters of corbomite that he will set off, killing us all, if we try to remove him. It will be the ultimate **Kobiyashi Mar-a-Lago** scenario. The latter two are my bold. You are on a roll! 😂 👍🏽 Good work. Okay, what about this: Donnie converts one of the rooms at Mar-a-Lago into an exact replica of the Oval Office, so when he broadcasts from there the MAGAts will think he’s still in the WH? Actually, he’ll probably just take the drapes and other fixtures from the real OO with him. Remember how he redecorated when he moved in-- adding all the gold accents? Biden won’t want that tacky crap. > **[The Oval Office Has Been Completely Redesigned — and It's Very Trump](https://www.housebeautiful.com/design-inspiration/celebrity-homes/news/a8381/donald-trump-oval-office-redesign/)** > > Obama's taste was modern, but our new President is definitely more traditional. ---

I am disappointed to learn that seditious conspiracy requires actually planning to use force to overthrow the government and fucking off to Florida to declare yourself president doesn’t rise to level he can be charged.

> [@Guest-starring\_Id](#): > > \*Yes! Yes! (pumps fist) Just double-checked with urban dictionary - no sign of ‘eye-worm’ being used in any context to denote ‘image you’d rather not have in your head’. This means: the tawdry genesis, here, of its new meaning, so that repeated misuse? use of this meaning will soon supercede the normal, original descriptor of ‘actual fucking worm thing in your eye’, and before you know it, ‘eye-worm’ will go right alongside ‘earworm’ in lists, and shit, which I will humbly take 101% credit for. Yes! YES! Whuh-POW!!! Congratulations. Also, “ **supersede**.” ---

[quote=“Cervaise, post:7678, topic:911083”] I’ve been saying for weeks he’s gonna fuck off to Florida, claim the mantle of President, and try to **maintain a schism.** [/quote] Yes, and contemplate what happens if US Marshals show up at his resort wanting to give him an escort to New York. Again, it sounds farcical, almost comical, but Trump’s perpetually claiming to be the real leader could be a real problem for the Biden administration, particularly if the Republican senate can essentially block fiscal stimulus and ensure that Biden fails at everything he tries to achieve. If Democrats can win the Senate, I hope Biden seriously considers tossing the filibuster aside. This is no time for bipartisanship; it’s time for results that people can see for themselves and nothing less than that. ---
