Comrade Blyatlov posted:Has this ever happened before in any degree? Bush v. Gore wasn't "settled" until December 12th. Very few states have actually posted finalized results yet, they still have a few weeks. Most states are still counting, right now. Past presidents always conceded when poo poo was obviously over. Donnie's just being a bitch about it. I'll be worried once it gets to the point that the states certify and he's still going on. That's half the reason why his most recent lawsuits are about stalling state certifications with bullshit fraud claims.

Hit me up when he actually makes a concrete move to put AD troops in the streets, or it goes past the point where states have certified the election but Donnie still has his fingers in his ears going nuh-uh. The first will be obvious, the second won't occur for about a month or more.

Way more so than it has been already. Same. I have been thinking for a while that his lawyers must have been telling him for some time that if he loses Presidential immunity from prosecution, he's screwed, and no amount of pardon fuckery will protect him from the NY state charges. Then there is also the matter of the $420 million debt, and deutsche bank leaked a couple of weeks back they are coming after him for that, and if he can't make good they will begin targeting his properties, etc. Also, the decapitation of civilian leadership at the pentagon and replacing them with his stooges... I think the absolute BEST-case scenario there is they are trying to destroy a lot of evidence for something. Evidence of stuff that was suppressed, evidence of crimes, who the hell knows. The worst-case scenario is much, much worse, and I absolutely despise the fact that we live in a reality where we even have to consider that as a possibility.

Yeah, once the states certify that'll be the ticker there. If the GSA refuses to certify Biden after that, then that'll be when things get exciting. After someone posted those emails trump was sending out to grift the poo poo out of idiots, I figure it's just grifting up until that point. Some timed releases to show how big a strong daddy he is to keep chuds sending money.

Otherwise number might go WAY down!

The GOP's problem is that even though Trump lost, he managed to generate near-record Republican voter turnout across most of the country while doing so. Any hope the party leaders might have had that Trumpism would die out with Trump's loss was shot to shreds in the election - they're pretty much stuck going along with whatever stupid poo poo Trump tweets out for the foreseeable future until either the base loses interest, or more likely when Trump finally keels over from long-term aspartame poisoning.

I don't even want to imagine what your kitchen is like As long as you use it to cut meat that you plan to sear or broil, that shouldn't be much of an issue. Other than the smell I guess. Some engineer could design an steel bodied guillotine with a spring catch and a deeper contact point to prevent banging up the blade on anything but bone and meat. Off the top of my head blade replacement attachments should make it able to chop (default), tenderize (blunt especially if you can automate the cocking), shell (blunt), juice or filet (many blades side by side).

So regarding the actual higher up uniformed leadership of the US military...are any of them up Trumps rear end, or besides a stray one, probably despise him as much as we do? I feel like Lafayette Square may have been a bit of blessing, in that Milley and Esper realized how badly hosed the situation was from an institutional standpoint and realized that they had to do everything to avoid a similar situation. Well that’s my hope at least, granted Esper can’t do much any more. However, the way people have “charitably” described the mid and lower ranking officers in various threads over the years, I’m concerned about how many of them beat off to Q posts and wouldn’t love to one up Kent State. I guess I’m just doom posting, but I can’t believe I’m even thinking about this beyond coming up with a goofball reasons for a modern civil war wargame scenario. Like seriously I feel like Tom Clancy would have given you a loving death stare if you suggested this as a plot for even one of the shitter games Red Storm made early one.
