I’m just confused as to where the mental deficients go now that Newsmax will obviously be too leftist & part of the deep state? Surely OANN will do the same thing if they haven’t already. Who then is their trusted news source?

The president’s Twitter page. And the Bible, I guess.
 
They seem apparently adroit enough not to be.

They’re all gangster right up until going in front of a judge.
This is when they will say it's all entertainment and not a real news network as they are all just playing characters for a political satire show. Works every time.

shouldn't they have their press accreditation removed then? It's not like the Daily Show (which is actually a better news sources than any of those) or SNL's Weekend Update are at the White House.
 
Trump type? I have few doubts that Trump itself will go back for the elections on the 2024. He got 74 million votes with full on pandemic and the job market in shambles. After 4 years of Biden not changing anything and the "they stole the election" motto, Trump will be again president of US
Well, Trump's the ultimate 'Trump type', so it does cover him as well. (I even did actually mean it that way. :cool: )

Trump is like the Wizard of Oz. Once he's out of office the curtain will be pulled back to fully reveal the puffed-up fantasist that he truly is.

He'll be out of power, out of time and out of luck. There will be no successful comeback. The Dems will win by a landslide if he runs for President again as the Republican nominee.
I am not sure about a Trump comeback because of his health and because he doesn't actually seem to enjoy being president all that much. But I don't think your reasons apply. Being in the office was supposed to be where the curtain was withdrawn. And in fact, it was, as it showed that Trump how incompetent, petty, and evil Trump really is. Except that this made little difference to his supporters, and they liked what they saw without the curtain. When Trump is not in office anymore, he can spout whatever shit he wants and he does not need to back any of it up by action or anything. He might lose his Twitter account, but he'll find another way to reach his supporters. So if anything, being away from the White House might strengthen him.

You still don't get it. The big picture is the need to stop - and then reverse - the growth of neo-fascism in the USA. Everything else is secondary for the time being..

Biden doesn't have to reverse everything that Trump has done. What he does need to do, as I've said, is to focus on strengthening the pillars of democracy. Amongst other things this means doing what he can to:

1 Counter voter-suppression and make voting easier for the maximum number of people.
2 Calm the polarisation of society and bring things back to the centre ground at least a little more.
3 Appoint federal judges of integrity, including to the Supreme Court if vacancies arise.
4 Encourage and foster public-service broadcasting. Ideally, the equivalent of the BBC would be established - independent of both government and commercial advertising.
5 Encourage movement away from e-systems in vote-counting - since these are not actually needed and only foster suspicion, whether rightly or wrongly. A fully paper-based system is essential because this provides a physical audit trail.
6 Give the FBI full reign to deal with what they have already identified as the biggest domestic terror threat, namely far-right extremists.
7 Give the lie - through actions and policies - to all the wild claims of a "communist takeover" and "shutting down churches" as spread by Trumpites.
8 Fully expose the involvement of Russia - and its collusion with Trump - in trying to destroy democratic norms.
9 Remind the American people what a decent, sane and honourable presidency looks like.

Ideally the Electoral College system would be abolished and replaced by a simple popular vote majority - but I doubt this will be politically possible.
In my view, this is a rather personal list, in many ways doesn't get to the heart of anything, and is partly unachievable.

#1 won't get through Senate if it has a Republican majority and is otherwise largely done at the state level. #3 goes without saying. #4 just addresses a symptom and will be redundant after #2. #5 is silly: first, the machines already allow for printing everything and providing the full paper trail, and second, there will anyway be no way to please these idiots. #6 is a matter of staying out of their way; government should not direct law enforcement. #7 will follow from #2. #8 is every-day secret service stuff, and really not key to the future of the US. #9 follows from #2, and anyway does not fix anything as such and rather requires better laws to ensure a madman can't ruin things like Trump did.

I'd say #2 is the main thing. But I would say that the US as a whole would likely be better off if public education was better and inequities were improved. In my view, lots of issues follow from huge gaps in that respect. That'd take generations to have real effect, but everything else are band-aids that the new president can just as easily rip off again. I don't think anybody expects Biden to really address these bigger, underlying issues though - which is why people are happy that Trump is gone, but unhappy that Biden is the replacement, as he's likely to only put some of those band-aids in place.
 
Hopefully this is not the same as Woodward preparing a bid.

At first I thought it might be a cease and desist situation but the story says litigation is imminent. That's bad for Rudy.

Is there any legal reason Giuliani won't get smashed in court here, considering how many cases they've already lost?

He's been touring those swing states, shouting lies about Dominion to anyone who'll listen and doin the same on TV. All they have to demonstrate is that it harmed their business and he'll be liable.
 


I pay $250 a month for healthcare that is prohibitively expensive to actually use. poggers!

neither of these cowards support medicare for all. look at how stupid they think voters are. they dont have to offer anything or promise to do anything. just slap on a headset for a photo op. wow politicians are gamers just like us, thats so epic! imagine giving a single dime to these hucksters.

That's just hilarious: the batshit craziness at the end is actually laugh-out-loud funny. In fact, it sounds so unbelievable that I wouldn't even be surprised if this is an attempt by Democrats to either try and make this a thing - I'd to parodize the insanity.

It's great news for the Dems. I hope a lot of Trumpites take it on board.
 
So if conservatives vote for Republicans in Georgia and they win the Senate, American public will get 600 instead of 2000 in stimulus?
Why the feck would anyone vote R in the runoffs.

Owning the libs is more important.

Because nobody wants socialism except when it comes to healthcare, stimulus money or generally not living in poverty but uh fk Venezuela or something.

Trump probably hopes for the same. I was reading just now that Trump has already received over $200 million since the elections from donations. Per the small print, most of that is good spend as he wants; only 25% has to go to legal cases and campaign debt repayments. It's the swindle of the century.

GOP vote totals will go negative? Exactly how is that even possible?
You should read that poster in the tweet, it's hilarious.
 
It's a bit crazy that they mention Brian Kemp. This guy blatantly stole the Governor election in plain view. The guy is also so Republican he threatened his daughters boyfriend at gunpoint in a political ad. If he said there is no fraud when a Dem wins that means there is no fraud to be found.

Was that the same boyfriend who died in a car crash the day after Kemp called for a signature audit?

Seems legit. If I made a program to steal votes, I would have never thought to check for some obvious corner cases like this one.

Are these people actually real stupid or they think that everyone else is stupid?

Absolutely.

Can’t discount the grift that is systemic in all this lunacy, though. That plays a huge part.
