    People have been afraid to contradict him since he’s the “Resident.”

    At noon on Jan 20th, he becomes the nobody he always was.

    And plenty of people will be happy to escort him out, like it or not.

    Let him stay just a little bit longer

    He wants to play, just a little bit longer

    Now Any’s dad he’ll mind

    And the Speaker, she’ll mind

    If he wins another time,

    Never leave this gig behind and sing

    Four more years

    Oh let him stay, just a little bit longer

    Apoligies to Maurice Williams

    Not unbelievable might be, P.T. Barnum that he is, to threaten all the way until 20 Jan 21 to not leave.

    Just think of the ratings!

    Same comment as yesterday, except more dead from the virus. Because the Stable Genius has no clue what to do about it.

    IF Trump loses the election AND he claims it’s a fraud and tweets for every Good American to come to the White House with the most deadly and portable parts of their arsenals, in order to defend Their Messiah, what do you think will happen?

    .

    Do you believe he would not do that, when he is faced with multiple indictments and exposure of all the money laundering and collusion he’s guilty of? Think he would not do that because so many people would be killed and wounded?

    .

    167,000 and counting dead. How many children infected? Another 100,000? Harmless? Immune?

    Are we Great Again yet?

    He will sue everything bigly and since Moscow Mitch McTurtle has put so many right wingers in the judicial system he will tie up the courts indefinitely.

    Yes, I know he should be booted on Jan 20th but that he will also contest in the courts!

    This isn’t really worth a week long arc… Trump has zero respect for the Constitution. What else is new? Gutting the post office…

    Critics say it’s becoming more and more clear that Kanye West’s last-minute independent presidential campaign is being aided by Republican operatives in a thinly veiled attempt to help President Donald Trump against former Vice President Joe Biden.

    On Tuesday, a Wisconsin attorney who has been representing Trump’s campaign in a lawsuit over a political television ad was seen by a local reporter dropping off West’s campaign paperwork.

    The attorney, Lane Ruhland, has not commented. She told one reporter, “I’m going to leave any comment about the petitions, the papers and what is going on the campaign itself.”

    Ruhland specializes in campaign finance and election law and represented the Republican National Committee in 2016.

    The New York Times reported this week that Mark Jacoby, with the signature-gathering group Let the Voters Decide, has assisted West’s nascent campaign gather signatures in Ohio, West Virginia and Arkansas.

    A canvasser in Illinois told NBC News that Jacoby was involved with the rapper’s campaign there as well.

    Jacoby — who could not be reached by PEOPLE — was arrested in 2008 on charges of voter fraud while working for the California Republican Party, according to Times, and he later pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor.

    President Donald Trump was given a series of deadlines to produce his DNA and other evidence as part of mandatory discovery in an ongoing defamation lawsuit on Monday.

    E. Jean Carroll is an author and Elle advice columnist who accused the 45th president of raping her sometime in late 1995 or early 1996.

    She initially made that accusation—one of over 20 sexual assault allegations against Trump—during the summer of 2019. Trump later denied the accusation in an interview with The Hill and Caroll subsequently sued for defamation in New York.

    A letter sent by Carroll’s attorneys notes that prior deadlines for the production of the DNA evidence were put on hold by an appeals court pending the outcome of a decision in a similar case filed by former Apprentice contestant Summer Zervos–who alleged that Trump sexually assaulted her in 2007.

    “As a result of that decision, the relevant deadlines in the Court’s Preliminary Conference Order dated December 12, 2020 are no longer ‘temporarily stayed,” the letter sent to Trump attorney Marc Kasowitz notes.

    “This letter sets forth our understanding of the current status of this case and discovery in this case as a result of the Court’s recent decision.”

    Since the stay was extinguished on August 7, 2020, discovery production must now be back on track by August 14, 2020 because that’s when the “five business days” requirement is up.

    Trump could, however, appeal the state supreme court’s August 7 ruling.

    President Donald Trump on Tuesday reversed his opposition to mail-in voting and encouraged it — at least in one crucial battleground state — after railing against the practice for months amid the coronavirus pandemic.

    The tweet represented a remarkable change in tune for the president, who has himself voted by mail but has aggressively pushed voters to head to the polls in person this fall despite fears of spreading the coronavirus.

    Trump has repeatedly leveled unsubstantiated claims that voting by mail would result in widespread voter fraud and that the practice would ultimately benefit Democrats.

    Let me put that fear to rest: Once donny’s term ends . . . that’s it. He no longer has any power and President Biden can use his military to drag donny out to his court date.

    Where are the Georgia trolls gloating about how their state opened their state and their schools and are now making very significant contributions to the death counts of the Trump Virus?

    Some of the commenters here seem to be living under the delusion, or at least ignorance of two important facts.

    1) The election is in November and will be held somewhere other than this comment board

    2) No one has or will refuse to leave the White House because they have lost.

    So put away your crystal balls, your Ouija Boards, go outside and talk to people. More important listen.

    Kamala Harris was chosen as Joe “Xerox” Biden’s running mate for the 2020 presidential election. Judging from the comments today everyone missed that. Even SS’s fabled Thread Reaader App
