Why isn't Trump tweeting? They took his phone?

He tweeted a video just before he flew away

I hope he dies afraid. Come on 2020, you really owe us this.

Pizza, new episode of Bakeoff, and this. Quite a day it has been!

I suspect so. Even they can see that Trump is soon to be irrelevant and even a competitor if he tries to build Trump TV, so they are starting to distance themselves. Money talks and he'll no longer draw an audience when he's out of power. <-- Ok, that's a bit of an exaggeration but you get my point.

How about the next day?? :) :) :)

I don't think it is an exaggeration. It's really how amazing people stop listening to a loser. Trump may try to continue to have a voice if he loses. But there will be lots of people even in the GOP who will be anxious to drown him out. It won't be "please don't go away mad, but please go away."

See, there is a god. :)

Funny how that worked out.

Absolutely. Anything else makes him a martyr.

So? As someone reminded me about martyrs, there's only been one in the last 2000 years that has mattered.

I disagree. One saving grace of Trump is that he is incompetent with his ego ruining everything in its path. Not Pence. You'll see next week that he is a very polished debater without the braggadocio. But he's way farther to the right than Trump. A Pence presidency on more than an interim basis is truly a thing to be feared.

Jesus, couldn't White House staff quickly find a room with better acoustics to shoot that in?? Well, incompetence does reign supreme over there.

Well, his SCOTUS picks are not going to be far from Trump’s.

His tax cuts for the rich aren’t going to be much bigger.

His handling of illegal immigrants is not going to be harsher.


How will his being further to the right manifest itself?

Religion.

I think it was even AFTER he flew away!

No, no god would ever inflict something like Trump on his own children.

Mike Pence biggest problem is that he’s a boring weirdo. Congress and the Senate would buck him whenever they felt like it and then he’d immediately lose in November

That sounds fine, let's do that!

Pence is the special kind of crazy that comes from being sure.

It occurs to me he'd never have nominated Amy Coney Barrett. Women aren't to have authority over men, and all that. Plus she's a Catholic, not a Christian.

No tweets for 12 hours now, and the last one said “Going well, I think!” #famouslastwords

He has probably been sedated to offset his Adderall withdrawal symptoms.

sounds like straight up racism to me, giving one group of people based on their skin color a different plan than others.

but it's okay since a) it's Trump doing it and b) nothing is actually being done.

FFIW, most of the main Democratic candidates also had something of a special focus on plans to help black people. It's not racism to work to try to correct harm done by long-term systemic racism, either way.

I know.
But Trump just boasted about removing any mention of Race in anything coming from the government. He is violating his own rules.
As usual.

You know, affirmative action can be constituted as racism. Apparently, some people think racism in other direction is okay.

I think we are talking passed each other.

I have no problem with using race as one of the parameters to allocate resources when we can establish a correlation between race and beneficial outcomes of extra support.

My point is that this is anathema to Republicans in general, and current Trump polices with a ban on Critical Race Theory in particular.
I am amazed by the ability of Trump supporters to constantly hold contradictory positions as long as Trump does, too.

He hasn't been very active on the Twitter front latelly. I'm taking that as a sign he's not well.

Gore did win in Florida, a combination of US citizens (at c 80,000) illegally disenfranchised in a classic Jim Crow manoeuvre and the Supreme Court illegally stopping the count cheated him out of the win.

Never forget that.

To get to the figure of 10,259 permitted to nominate for a Nobel Peace Prize I added the numbers of the parliaments of the following countries: India, China, USA, Germany, France, UK, Italy, Brazil, Spain and Nigeria. Just ten countries, admittedly picked largely because I know they'd have substantial parliament numbers, gets you there.

I can't speak of the disenfranchisement (something that is not surprising, given Florida's recent handling of ex-felons), but the supreme Court issue is a bit... Fuzzier. The problem is that there were several factors... How do you count dimpled and hanging chads, do you do a statewide recount or only counties requested by Gore, etc. Some combinations of those would have seen Gore win, other combinations would have seen Bush win.

Not that I think the supreme Court should have stopped the count, but it is possible (not certain, just possible) that even if they allowed the vote counts to continue Bush might still have won.

But he's been saying what they want to hear loud and clear for near on four years now. And he's pushed the rest of the traitor party into dropping the dog whistles for open racism too. It is very hard to get the genie back into the bottle after it's been left out, just look at what happened to the DNVP when the Nazis came along.

He's too busy working for America by signing papers!!!

Pence is as much of an incompetent as Trump is, he only jumped on the Trump train because he was getting slaughtered in Indiana due to his personal incompetence.

That'd be ok if the actual plan weren't to give rich white people loads of money and political favours at the expense of poor black people. The first good thing Trump will do for black people is keeling over.

If they thought Shrub would have won, his father's cronies in the Supreme Court would have kicked it back to Florida. My guess is they were appraised of what the actual vote would turn out to be ahead of the ruling.

We’re drifting pretty far off topic, but I believe the Miami Herald did a comprehensive investigation and came to the conclusion that Bush would have won in the end.
