We need some of those flash-y memory obliteration things from Men in Black. If only we could make the external effects of DJT’s crap administration disappear along with the memories.
Slight organizational problem at the “We Wuz Robbed!!1!” press conference:
What ever happened to the free drug cards that Individual 1 was going to send out to all senior citizens with his name on them?
He snorted them all.
Seriously, I’ll advocate for a ceremonial closing of the thread on Jan 20 as Joe takes the oath. We can create a “cleaning up the clusterfuck” thread for all the aftermath. Closing this one would have important symbolic meaning.
I like this idea - I second the motion!
Thirded, although I think “Unmaking the Clusterfuck” would be even better.
Unfucking the Cluster?
Wins!
Maybe we can do a Zoom Dopefest on Inauguration Day or the day after. And wrap up this long, painful two-part thread.
As the OP, I can’t express how glad I am that DJT is OUT!
Congratulations US. I was a bit worried there for a while, but you did good!!
And I fourth or fifth the suggestion to have a ceremonial closing of this thread, with much drinking, dancing and Donald dumping.
I would so like to see SCotUS respond to his petitions with rulings that almost give him what he wants, stringing the process out for several more weeks, so that he concentrates all his efforts on fighting the result, leaving him much less time to fuck up every little thing he can get his mandibles into.
Donald J. TRump actual tweet
This is TRump in a nutshell. Denialism, and childish phrasing. Not the work of an adult, let alone a president.
And the icing on the cake, Twitter’s addition:
I know the news today has been historic for so many reasons, but we cannot let this story fall through the cracks. I need to know every detail about this.
I really want to hear from the people at Four Seasons Total Landscaping who got a call from the Trump team about having a press conference at their store and were just like, “OK”.
Twitter should have added “Caution: Take with a pillar of salt.”
The celebrations on the street are akin to the scenes you see in a country that has just toppled a dictator.
Why do I think he’s had it before? Or was it just people in his office who’ve had it and it finally got around to him?
If the shoe fits…
Oh yes, I’d really like to hear more on this backstory too. I just find it so funny.
The crowds around the White House had Donald in mind when they “stole” his typical rally-closer:
^ Definitely this.
Meanwhile Mitch McConnell will be most concerned with those two Georgia Senate run-off races in January—on which hinge his hopes of retaining his current Ultimate Power. So he won’t have much energy or attention to spare to Donald’s hopes of finding “fraud” that would invalidate the Presidential race.
Another problem for Donald is that so many down-ballot Republicans won races at the same time that Donald lost. They won’t be interested at all in declaring those ballots to be fraudulent.
