Brilliant, absolutely brilliant.
Well, to reflect on it a bit, I'd say the establishment substantially overestimated their own abilities and underestimated Trump and his broad base of support. They are hated by a big swath of the American people, and they don't understand it at all as I think they assess their own "woke" or "politically correct" ideals as some sort of paragon of virtue. I certainly underestimated the almost mindless ruthlessness of the deep state to try to control things, and to nakedly stuff ballot boxes. We've never really seen anything like this before in our lifetimes--Biden leaving the house to get ice cream cones, and getting asked his favorite flavor; then, going home and presumably licking his ice cream cone in the basement and putting a lid on the campaign, while Trump was holding rallies with 10k+ people everywhere he went. 80M+ people voted for Biden? It's frankly not believable.
Even Biden has very sheepishly admitted that we wouldn't have the array of vaccines available that we have today if it weren't for Trump. That's because much of the regulatory state isn't really there to keep you safe, but to put up barriers to entry for upstarts.
Anyway, I think one of the more telltale signs that the public doesn't buy the illusion of a Biden victory is the collapse of FoxNews. They went from the #1 cable network for 20 years running to falling below CNN, whose ratings are down, almost overnight.
It kind of makes me miss Hindsite's commentary, as Trump has a way of making it look biblical as though God smites the anti-Trump folks.

The political establishment simply undermines themselves when they do this. By impeaching Trump a second time and not bringing a single witness, they gave Trump yet another platform to smack them down, and he did. He got to show the American people one more time that the establishment is a fraud. So many of them attacked Trump using the exact same language, encouraged rioters in 2020, etc. They simply have no moral authority to judge anyone on the use of language.

GSA stuff is already public. There's nothing there, but feel free to waste your time on that.
Stormsmith wrote:He will scurry around trying to also deal with banks, Cy Vance etc.
Maybe he follows Elon Musk's lead and starts moving his funds into bit coin, as the establishment destroys the value of the US dollar. If he got Americans to do that, we could see a huge change in global finance. Best not to poke the bear even more. As it is, Cy Vance can't raise a nickel for re-election now. He's toast.

Even Biden admits we wouldn't have the vaccines today if it weren't for Trump repealing so much red tape and making resources available.

It was very entertaining.
jimjam wrote:“He kept pressing his scheme to overturn the election. Even after it was clear to any reasonable observer that Vice President Pence was in serious danger, even as the mob carrying Trump banners was beating cops and breaching perimeters, the president sent a further tweet attacking his own vice president.”
There was no scheme to overturn the election. Trump won it and everyone knows it. Trump had more protesters at the Capitol than Biden had supporters at his inauguration.

He can't run in 2028, so there will be plenty of takers.

Mr. McCarthy had a shouting match with Mr. Trump during the call.Mr. McCarthy had told Mr. Trump that his own office windows were being broken into. “Well, Kevin, I guess these people are more upset about the election than you are,” Mr. Trump said. “Who (the fuck?) do you think you’re talking to?” Mr. McCarthy fired back at one point including an expletive.
In the grand scheme of things, that's a good thing. Congress needs to know that the American people aren't with them. The establishment, in ejecting Trump from office, shows themselves for the non-democratic cabal they are. Biden's phony election gives him all the credibility of Petro Poroshenko's government. There was no orange revolution in the United States. There is no political support for Biden. McCarthy can't explain how they picked up 11 seats in the House, picked up governors chairs and state houses and then went on to lose the presidency. If you have coat tails, and Trump did, we have never seen someone like that lose. If the government doesn't respect the will of the people, it loses legitimacy. What did McCarthy or McConnell think was going to happen? Trump voters were just going to fall in line behind them? Man these people are dense.

Trump's wife is way hotter.

No. Senators represent states, not populations. A handful of Republican senators have signed their own political death warrants, but that's not really surprising. I figure this is the last hurrah for Susan Collins anyway, and she has another six more years. Toomey and Burr have already indicated they won't run again in 2022. Delta will have no passengers on their airplanes if they let Romney fly on Delta, because he gets booed everywhere he goes.

They didn't need convincing. They have all been turncoats for a long time.
B0ycey wrote:So with a partisan charge, seven Republicans that any rational person would know he wasn't guilty of, still broke rank and you think that was a success?
Yes. It forces them out into the open, because they are not loyal to the Republican party. They are Democrat plants that purport to be Republican. There are people who vote party line who fall for this type of shit all the time.
