I’m thinking getting hauled in front of Congress is a great motivator for GSA Emily Murphy!

He looks like an angel.

Initially did not like Biden as the nominee. Now I see, he is uniquely qualified bc he knows better than anyone how to put the pieces back.

Seems a common theme that officials in this administration always start by saying, "I didn't feel pressure."

danetingley0317360
I read that he confided he wont be spending years seeking legal ramifications on trump. I honestly dont know how I feel about that. (1)
danetingley0317360
Should we just try to forget about his stain and let him slink away? Or is forgetting the absolute worst thing we can do ?
WookieWookieWookie
Let New York go after him for financial crimes. The fed has bigger things to worry about at this point. And with the psycho supporters
WookieWookieWookie
We're gonna be in trouble anyway, Biden has to worry about throwing fuel in that fire.

Now fire up those lawsuits and indictments. Trump will be pennyless if not also in prison. Popcorn, anyone?

Why does that fat fuck have any say?

Because someone has to make the call and sign the paperwork. Things like this are typically just run-of-the-mill bureaucratic paperwork...

You know what, you have a point. And besides. Bowing out gracefully and being a better man isn't how Trumps story ends.
CaldariBob
There will be no acknowledgrment or concession speech, I reckon.

He hasn't conceded. They're starting the transition "in case" Biden wins.

Her: I made this decision independently with no input from the president... Trump on Twitter: So I told her to do it...
ReginaKasteen
He's taken credit for everything else he had no input on, why stop now?

Yes because the input was from Dems who doxxed and threatened her
tr26
She was doxxed? Because https://lmgtfy.app/?q=emily+murphy+%22doxxed%22

She literally said input from the president. But yeah, it's not like Trump just had PA and MI lawmakers to the W House to chat or anything.

Ya'll are taking the wrong message away from this. Trump showed that a third of the country is ravenous for a charismatic, wannabe, dictator
PutItInNeutral
The same is true for any society at any given point in history. Our own ideological groups are not immune to these failings.
PutItInNeutral
We must always be vigilant. This Trump episode could have turned out so much worse.
UsernameMayBeSubjectToChange
I'm pretty sure it already has. Cleanup will take forever
SaraFourImgur
The GOP got a taste of those votes and, with a few exceptions, they'll all ante up for another authoritarian. Trump or not.
PTNLemay
With how incredibly anti-democratic Trump has been post-election, I have to imagine many Republicans will feel alienated from the party now.
TChallaVanDam
I mean, I thought so for the last few years leading up to the election too though. Political tribalism man. It’s a bloodsport.
montydantes
Somewhere waiting in the wings is the GOP’s next Messiah... more disciplined than Trump and assured of a GOP Senate’s blind loyalty.

TChallaVanDam
And somebody smarter. All of the systemic flaws he’s exposed in the hands of someone competent & capable? Fucking terrifying.
UsernameMayBeSubjectToChange
He's shown the GOP how to do it though, and I'm pretty sure his replacement is waiting in the wings
TChallaVanDam
That’s my point. He’s shown how much one can get away with even though he’s a moron. I’m terrified picturing somebody smart taking advantage
Rijtjeshuis
The problem for them is that, if he splits woth the GOP, he'll take a good chunk of votes on the way out.
SaraFourImgur
That's why they're all so careful with wording. Almost nobody has outright condemned or even disagreed with Trumps transition resistance.

The judges they’ve packed our courts with will probably be one of the worst parts. Them giving themselves a backdoor if they need it.

Very true. That's going to be the longest cleanup process by far.

As a foreigner with only passing knowledge of the US system: ofc not you dipstick. And be thankful for it.

Doubtful. There’s no provision that states the actions of a criminal president can be undone.

And even if there was, those courts would be in charge of interpreting it.

They can be impeached. SCOTUS can be impeached too but they need Senate to vote them out too which won’t happen.
