Hate to tell you, but, this election was about NOT having an authoritarian government in charge that dispenses taxpayer dollars according to political fealty. Also, it was NOT about beating the other side into submission.

The other side does that. Or better said, they try to. Threats and violence don't solve a thing.
Bill Barr just got fired by tweet...

Barr's resignation and timing are troubling, he either has a pardon in his pocket or he does not, we will most likely find out next year if he does, I don't think he does though and won't get one now. A pocket pardon for Barr would be challenged for sure if it covered illegal acts in conspiracy with Trump. Bill wants to finish a few things up before he goes and that means something for Donald, not himself or he would be gone today.

Who will Donald appoint to AG? They will need a pardon, because Donald is going to tell them to do things that Barr wants no part of in the last 30 days. Who will the acting AG be? Whoever it is should be subpoenaed to appear before the house the next day under inherent powers and dragged there if they don't. While they are there they should be informed the next time they appear they won't be leaving and there is no presidential pardon for a 10 year sentence imposed by the house using inherent powers.

How about Weiner and Laptop. that conspiracy theory seems like decades ago, huh?
There are very powerful and harsh federal criminal conspiracy laws in America and Donald was the center of dozens involving perhaps hundreds of people. I figure he will be charged with those conspiracies in order to get his coconspirators. Everybody knows Donald will throw everybody under the bus or blurt it out to the press while trying to shift the blame and stab others in the back. There will be a traffic jam at the prosecutors door and the Devil will take the hindmost. Many will have pardons and the FBI and grand juries will open them up like a can of worms and take their pardons at face value, later after the evidence is collected, they will challenge those pardons involving conspiracies with Donald. Donald in effect sold the pardons for value received or on other grounds.

Every aspect of pardons will be settled in the new year starting with Donald's self pardon. It might be to the democrats advantage to have Donald running around like chucky with a knife taking his revenge on the republicans who stabbed him in the back. Joe has been nice to Donald so his focus will remain on the republicans and soon he will be consumed by retribution and revenge focused on them, not Joe.

Just watched Joe's speech and was impressed, he just killed Trump from the podium and took on the mantle of power. There was iron wrapped in a soft velvet glove and he humiliated Donald very badly without even trying. He utterly destroyed Trump's efforts to steal the election or claim fraud and you could almost feel him draw the majority of the country to him and the soft edges of the Trump's base melt. He had a sore throat but his message was clear and unambiguous, he wants to calm the fears of Trumps base and allow some of them to evolve. The proud boy types are now targets, not his, but those he will appoint and the people they will hire. There are gonna be a lot of state and federal prosecutions for death threats in the new year and I don't think the judges will go easy on them either.

Once some of those 74 million have had time to cool off and introspect some of them will fall away, not too many, but enough. Mitch won't recognize him as president elect until it's "official" on Jan 6th, just after the Georgia election, hopefully he will be the minority leader after that. Donald will go ape shit on the republicans when he realizes they fucked him, though after the kick in the nuts Joe gave him tonight, he might start tweeting and freaking. Who is gonna be at Mar Logo and who is gonna be at the inauguration will be the dividing line that will fracture the republicans. If Nancy humiliates the house members who signed on before their oaths and even delays some of the ones in the swing states until after the inauguration pending investigation etc.

Unity is the message, and stomping on those who won't play ball will be the theme IMHO.

Steve Schmidt: Trump ‘Has Been Fired By The American People’

Co-founder of the Lincoln Project Steve Schmidt calls today, when the Electoral College meets, a happy day because it cements Joe Biden’s victory. But he also warns that democracy has been "poisoned" by Donald Trump and the GOP.

Great speech. I felt so bad for his struggling to talk with his sore throat . I hope he isn’t getting seriously ill. Poor guy, he is so nice , I hope he gets better soon. That was such a nice hug his wife gave him at the end. He is a real warrior and a real fighter but I don’t think he is going to be around much longer he walks like he has some serious arthritis.

He broke his ankle playing with his dog.

WILMINGTON, Del. (AP) — President-elect Joe Biden fractured his right foot while playing with one of his dogs, an injury discovered in a scan Sunday and that will likely require him to wear a boot for several weeks, his doctor said.

Biden suffered the injury on Saturday and visited an orthopedist in Newark, Delaware, on Sunday afternoon, his office said.

“Initial x-rays did not show any obvious fracture,” but medical staff ordered a more detailed CT scan, his doctor, Kevin O’Connor, said in a statement. The subsequent scan found tiny fractures of two small bones in the middle of his right foot, O’Connor said.

“It is anticipated that he will likely require a walking boot for several weeks,” O’Connor said.

Fractures are a concern generally as people age, but Biden’s appears to be a relatively mild one based on his doctor’s statement and the planned treatment. At 78 he will be the oldest president when he’s inaugurated in January; he often dismissed questions about his age during the campaign.

Reporters covering the president-elect were not afforded the opportunity to see Biden enter the doctor’s office Sunday, despite multiple requests. Leaving the doctor’s office to head to an imaging center for his CT scan, Biden was visibly limping, though he walked without a crutch or other aid.

Biden sustained the injury playing with Major, one of the Bidens’ two dogs. They adopted Major in 2018, and acquired their first dog, Champ, after the 2008 election. The Bidens have said they’ll be bringing their dogs to the White House and also plan to get a cat.

Last December he released a doctor’s report that disclosed he takes a statin to keep his cholesterol at healthy levels, but his doctor described him as “healthy, vigorous” and “fit to successfully execute the duties of the Presidency.”

The conservatives need to put light and air between themselves and the fascists in their party, if they want to remain in respectable company. There is now a list of 120 fascist or cowards and that is just as bad, courage is the queen of the virtues for without courage none of the others are possible. This might be the beginning of that schism, he's retiring, but he obviously wants a future. Fascism might be popular right now, but it might not be in 2 years and there is that list.

Yep, Barr's replacement been working there already for more than a year. Probably already has a list of things he wants to finish or obscure before he leaves. I loved the pearl clutching he did with those Trump supporting lawyers over "choosing which laws to enforce" by Democrats. Another two-faced Republican radical is put in charge. He has about 30 days and practically no checks on what he can do.

He will be around long enough and I don't think he will bother with a second term, but he will set up his successor for a good shot at the job. Expect Kamala to be the new Hilary as they poison the well for her over the next four years, racism and misogamy are the biggest driving forces in the republican party. Nobody but a fucking lunatic or a conman can be nominated now, and Qnon will be a big thing among them. Donald will be in prison and whoever runs for the POTUS nomination will have to promise a pardon to Donald, shit Trump might run again right from his prison cell and could even win the election. The congress needs to impeach him after he is convicted and in prison to prevent him from holding any federal office again (including senate). He does not need to be in office to be impeached and it will split the republican party, or damage it further if they acquit him, win win, they secretly want Donald gone too.
