Actually, I would enjoy it immensely if he refuses to leave and is ignored as he is escorted out of the White House and issued an arrest warrant.
I don’t know what everyone is worried about. Haven’t you even thrown anybody out at a party?

Yeah me too.
But it is a commitment.
And don’t forget that after years of serving Nero as his tutor, Nero ordered Seneca to take his own life. And he did. There must be a message for today in there somewhere.

Yeah that’s true - it kind of follows all the underbussing Trump has done.

Years ago (the 80s) my sister worked in the newsroom at WBBM. When I came through Chicago on my way to the phone co. training center, I got to visit the newsroom for the 10P broadcast. It was always fascinating, and that’s where I witnessed the crew and the talent congratulating themselves on “a really good show tonight!”
Opened my eyes, and from then on, I didn’t bother with local TV news broadcasts. Now I don’t bother with any TV news. I get my news from this site, from The New Yorker, and from Morning Edition once in a while, plus daily NYT summaries via email.

Even Texas allows ballots to be 1 day late, so long as they are postmarked by 7 pm Election Day and arrive the next day.
Reporters should ask Cornyn about this every time he pokes his head out of his burrow.

It is reminiscent of the “medical professionals” having their “press conference” in DC to reveal the “truth” about COVID. Demon semen and all that.

The main point is that Biden is supposedly getting national security briefings now. With “Patch” Ratcliffe as DNI, the quality may be suspect there as well.

If your boss is crazy, go on Rachel Maddow and spill as much tea as you have in your possession.

I am so furious at Cornyn right now with his ads pretending to be Mr. Friend to Abused Women. Yeah, he really cares about rape victims, but if they get knocked up, that’s God’s will.

Couldn’t agree more. People forget that Hitler came to power in completely legitimate , lawful means.
Worrying is overrated, generally useless, and something we choose to succumb to. One can choose to not be overly rattled by all this. Concerned, vigilant, eyes open, sure, but not paralyzed and defeated. I literally don’t know why Dems, when threatened or attacked, don’t counter it IMMEDIATELY with an even more aggressive counterattack. Instead, we gaze at our navels and go through this ONOEZ he so mean process. Turn on MSNBC any night at any time, and it’s almost always sound outraged and worried reaction to something Trump said or did INSTEAD of a discussion of what to do about it.
When Dems are guests on these shows and are asked what their response is to the latest Trump outrage, it’s usually some anodyne defeatist bullshit about how they hope that Trump comes to his senses and listens to his FUCKING NON-EXISTENT better angels. DAFUK?!? Are they stupid, in denial or cowards? He’s the fucking devil. You shoot the devil in the head and then you shoot him again. In real-world terms, what this means is that you go after Trump by every means you have, like not dithering and waiting fucking 3 years to go through with a half-assed impeachment that was over 5 seconds after it started. For 40 years Dems have been playing battered wife and I’m fucking tired of it.
So no, I will NOT play that role, thank you. When you’re being mugged, you don’t think about how not to anger your mugger or what terrible parents they had and whether there’s any good in them. You find a rock and bash his fucking head in till he’s dead. And then you find a gun and shoot him.

That wasn’t an impeachment. That was a family intervention by concerned parents. A real impeachment would have come a year sooner and consisted of way more charges. Pelosi is not a fighter. I don’t know how many times I can say it. She’s ALWAYS saving the powder for a fight she never intends to get into. She knows how to get legislation crafted and whip up votes, but waging political fights with bullies on the other side is something she’s terrible at. She talks but doesn’t DO.
The GOP’s obvious and open attempts to steal the election is a fucking CONSPIRACY THEORY?!? Dude, where have you been since, well, 1972? If they’re not offering alternative predictions that take all this into account, then they’re just blowing hot air. We don’t live in a world where elections are fairly held and any prediction that doesn’t take this into account is useless.

Great, Dems exploiting another scandal to fundraise. I’ll pass. If they can’t win without my money then they can’t win with it. I have no time for beltway “attack ads”.
And that’s the thing, we’re stuck on normative ways of thinking about the world and acting in it, when in reality the world is often not the way it’s “supposed” to be. The world keeps reminding us, rudely, how things really work, yet we keep reacting to it as if nothing’s amiss. Isn’t that a functional definition of insanity? Fact is, we live in a world that has monstrously evil people in it who are bound by no norms or rules or expectations, and if allowed to act as they please, they tend to cause massive and irreversible damage to it and the people and other living things in it. Such people MUST be opposed and put down, even if it forces us to confront some unpleasant aspects of reality and do things we’d rather not. We can’t keep hiding behind comforting norms and preferences.

Seriously, who does she think she is spreading that BS that you’re preparing for a possible who is that with your prep planning because if you are you’re part of this illegal overage and attempt to overthrow our government woman by spreading your BS and agreeing with what he said you can find yourself in hot water Missy.
He doesn’t have a choice in this matter we fight a king and his military the best military in the world for our democracy and a one-man Carnival barker/snake oil salesman thinks he’s just gonna take it away. Seriously you’re stupid. So the choice is yours since squatting is not allowed in the peoples house and we’re sending you an eviction notice if you lose the election you will be asked to leave if need be or you can leave standing up or feet first the choice is yours because Joe Biden wins he will be moving into the White House and you’d better be gone. And take those Moochie children with you what a worthless a lot you’ve raised or rather your Three different wives have raised since you’re a deadbeat dad.
