    So let me get this straight, Donald Trump, Sidney Powell, and former Lieutenant General Michael Flynn all in the same room at the same time, with Rudy Giuliani on the phone, discussing
    their next move on how to subvert the will of the american people, by tossing around baseless claims of voter fraud and conspiracy theories like they’re confetti (or covfefe)

    Yes. And the worst part is they're making hundreds of millions of dollars by doing that! :rage:

    Yes, people are months behind in their rent and the government is giving them enough to pay half a month's rent!

    Finally the religious right is turning...

    itf the repubs win just 1 of those seats in Georgia--Mitch McConnell runs the government until 2024. Gridlock today----gridlock tomorr-a---gridlock forev-a-, to paraphrase a famous( dead ) politician from Alabama.

    So Trump has heard arguments from Sidney Powell and Michael Flynn about invoking martial law to overturn the results of the election. This can lead to violence from far-right extremists. Here in Oregon armed members of the Proud Boys and Patriot Prayer stormed the state capitol this morning.

    Does Trump really think these "losers and suckers" as he called them will impose martial law to keep him in office? No way. He's just putting on a front of fighting the election results so he can keep raising money. So what if the country gets further divided, fuck America.

    Yeah, confronted with a multi-million dollar lawsuit Newsmax caved in …………

    Newsmax disclosed: Newsmax has no evidence Dominion or Smartmatic manipulated votes in the 2020 election; that Newsmax has no evidence Dominion or Smartmatic has any relationship with George Soros;
    Newsmax has no evidence Dominion uses Smartmatic's software or vice versa; and that Smartmatic is a US company, not owned by the Venezuelan government.

    It was basically tell the truth, or be forced to go out of business

    And here come the pardons. Trump issued 15 pardons Tuesday evening, including one for George Papadopoulous and Alex van der Zwaan, both of whom pleaded guilty during special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia investigation, and four Blackwater guards involved in the Iraq massacre. Anyone still want to call him the law & order President?

    And now he's threatening to veto the Stimulus Bill which would give us $600, saying he wants everyone to get $2000. And the democrats are encouraging it! It would be great if he can push it through, at least get a compromise, but he's running out of time whether he realizes it or not.

    If you look back on the last century and count every instance of public corruption, crimes by public officials, and violations of Federal ethics, add those instance all up......it pales by comparison to Trump, his cronies and Republicans operatives. The latest two series of pardons are an international disgrace and puts the US in dubious international company. It smacks of an organized criminal operation. Meanwhile our prisons are full of people serving time for far less damaging crimes; usually people who are poor or minorities, or have offended the rich and powerful. We have had enough and hope Biden can heal this very ill Nation.

    He's just begun, he realizes he's been slowly losing power since the election so he's overcompensating by doing what he can do through vetoes and pardons.
    Trump Issues 26 More Pardons, Including Manafort, Stone

    President Trump issued 26 more pardons on Wednesday, granting clemency to individuals including former campaign chairman Paul Manafort, longtime adviser Roger Stone and Charles Kushner, his son-in-law’s father.

    Mr. Trump, who used the clemency power only sparingly early in his term, appears to be freely exercising it in his final weeks in office to grant reprieves to allies and associates in his political orbit. In addition to the acts of clemency announced this week, last month he pardoned his former national-security adviser Mike Flynn, who had pleaded guilty to lying to the Federal Bureau of Investigation
