TreasonousBastard's JournalNo link because I saw a quick tweet on my phone when Trump told a Republican Congresscritter...
his future would be destroyed because he didn't fall in line over the election bullshit.
Well, Mr. Trump, his future is OK for the next two years, but it seems yours is the one in trouble.
Mr. Trump-- the first decent thing you've said in four years, and you fucked it up...
After ignoring the problem for months and letting your stooge Mnuchin do the work, you come out and say 600 bucks is too little.
Well, it is too little, but you have now made even that amount more difficult to get.
It almost looks like that was the plan all along.
Look what Mercedes is doing...
Whatsis I hear about Atlantic City auctioning off the chance to push the button for the last...
Trump casino demolition?
No link, just got a "newsbreak" on my phone.
And, yeah, I know he doesn't own it any more, but if it says "Trump" and I could blow it up, why not?
I believe this has been mentioned, but it bothers me that this shitshow over the election...
means that if ballots are thrown out,all of the ballot is thrown out, not just the presidential lines.
Right?
That means many House and Senate races would have to be run again, right? To say nothing of local races.
This sounds like a very bad novel.
BTW, Congress has the right to seat itself-- this means that each house has the right to not seat any asshole going along with this stupidity.
About trump pardoning himself...
Been reading about this with people who know a lot more about it than I do.
One school of thought is that he can because it's not specifically forbidden. This is a weak argument that ignores both originalist theory and other readings of the Constitution. It would be like a judge hearing a case against himself.
More common is the idea that a pardon is transitive- it must have a donor and a recipient, and donor and recipient cannot be the same person. Nixon thought of pardoning himself, and decided it would be too tricky and dangerous, and so Ford did the dirty job.
Since no President has ever tried it, should this one try it it would immediately hit the courts, and we can only guess how that would end. One fine mess while the courts play with it.
One thing that would not change is that presidential pardons are for federal crimes, so he would have to deal with several states prosecuting him, and who knows whether, say, the Governor of NY could pardon him, or would want to.
Remember Milana, the AT&T girl? Watch what's she's up to now...

And this guy is more like me:
Listening to CNN, they confirm what I knew but give me a real problem...
Trump is incapable of admitting loss--- this is well known to anyone who observed his past dealings wherein he never "lost" but always had an excuse for being on the losing side.
Erin Burnett's talking to people telling her WH insiders say he won't ever admit he lost the election, but is looking for the way out where he doesn't have to admit Biden won. All of his insiders seem to be telling him to let it go, but he simply will not let it go.
OK, that's psycho Trump, but what I cannot understand is why his party isn't abandoning him. Nixon won re-election with the largest numbers history, and the public was OK with his war and environmental policies. Shit, he was even "That close" to a national health plan.
Any other President with this Wikipedia paragraph would be a hero:
Watergate was small change compared to what our current stench in the White House is doing. When the tapes came out, Senate Republicans told him flat out they supported his impeachment and forced him to quit.
What is different now? I don't believe for a minute that Trump has enough on all of them to force them to do his will. I could be convinced that most of them are low-grade morons that can't find their ways out of a sinking boat, but not one of them has the wit and character to do the right thing? I could also be convinced that Frog Face has some completely in his power, but all of them?
I could see Romney marching over to the Oval Office saying "Here's the way it is..." but only if he led at least small group of Senators. Nope- the Senate Republicans are just a mealy-mouthed group of ignorant ass-kissing cowards.
How did they get this way? They make Goldwater look like a towering giant simply because he had principles. I didn't like his principles all that much, but he had them.
McCain, too.
SHIT! My town is up to 4% positive, and 5% is a micro cluster. We were doing so well for a while...
Now we're looking at more severe controls.
Up Island in Farmingville there was a party with 200-300 people in attendance, and in Riverhead another one with maybe 300. Both got court dates, and I'm sure there were more out there. And the Friendly's in Riverhead has a whole bunch of staff out with it.
Some people are paranoid to leave their homes and too many others are just assholes. Where's the happy middle so we could just get rid of this thing?
