After his calls for “armed rebellion in support of YOUR PRESIDENT” pathetically fizzles out;
Everything not nailed down will be stripped from the White House and sold at foreign auction.
Trump will openly advertise “Pardons for Sale” and personally rake in tens of millions with them.
Trump will go on a “Executive Order” signing frenzy, outlawing little things like: The Democratic Party, Black People, Labor Unions, Corporate Taxes, Laws against Tax Fraud, etc. just to fuck things up as much as possible before fleeing the country in the dead of night in early January 2021, PRIOR to the new Congress being seated (who could immediately Impeach him if they wished) and probably setting FIRE to the White House on his way out.
Even if we win big (which I expect) it will be a shitshow of mammoth proportions.

This part of the third paragraph is missing (I think!) something. Maybe “wireless”?
“lucrative contract to lease spectrum from the Department of Defense”

Do it this way…" Hey folks…if you work for the Trump crowd and you see document destruction or other forms of evidence tampering as well as theft make sure you can prove it. Big BUCKS for you if you can". Money baby…if you can fuck Trump we’ll pay ya. Hell I’ll bet even Pence would take that deal.

The ultimate theft will be when Trump resigns in January and Pence pardons him.
I want my revenge!

This is exactly why we need to have a Truth and Reconciliation Commission composed of legislators, citizens and judges to review the last 4 years and mete out punishment to Trump, his pond scum family, and his enablers, both elected and appointed, as domestic terrorists and traitors, with the death penalty very much on the table.

My question is what recourse do Democrats even have?
Remember when the R party screamed about the Clinton’s removing the “W’s” from all the keyboards in the White House? (even though they didn’t)
Good times I tell ya.

The only thing making my angst bearable this morning is the thought that there are a lot of people in the WH who are feeling even more anxiety than I am - and they should.
Some of these people should be shunned for the rest of their lives - you don’t get to say “It was just politics”. It is time for a nation wide boycott against all things FOX and Rupert Murdoch. I don’t care if I end up wiping my ass with pine cones - my first goal will be to never spend another dime to a company that in any way supported or enabled Trump.

- Triple the number of prosecutors and FBI assigned to government corruption;
- remove the statute of limitations for obstruction of justice, lying to the FBI, aiding, abetting, and conspiracy to do same;
- Make it a crime to retain the fruits of a government contract obtained without competitive bidding or process or otherwise procured by preferential or fraudulent means;
- Impose 20-year no parole sentences;
- Charge and try in D.C. every last crook from top to bottom in front of a largely Dem. jury pool; and
- Jail everyone convicted.
The allies did something similar after WWII to save the world from future atrocities. America must demand nothing less now. The fate of American democracy hangs on what Dems. do (not say, do) if Dems. win tomorrow.

Corruption is {Borat voice} Very Nice! when you are in power. When you hand the Justice Department, Congressional investigation committees and Inspector General’s over to the other party, not so much.

From the article:
"This would all be rather shocking if it weren’t for the fact that Trump and his associates have essentially been running this same play throughout his entire presidency. "
That is the only difference will be after Tuesday is that we will know when this will end. That we want to do all we can to minimize the damage of a “lame duck Trump” is not much different than limiting the damage of the Trump presidency over the last 4 years.

And, I know there will be a lot for Biden to get done, but one of the first things Joe must do is to ceremoniously remove all the fencing and barricades Bunker Boy Bone Spurs installed around the White House and return the people’s house to the people.

As long as those who could fix this wring their hands, whine and express “concern” and do nothing else… trump will continue do do what he does.
