It's finally here- JFC that was a LONG 4 years. 

 

And it begins:

Apparently, this tiny little hamlet of 12 people vote every election right at midnight- thus becoming the absolute first results in the USA.

 

 

Let's hope this becomes a trend!

(reading the politico article about the campaign)

Here's my takeaway: somehow Trump's campaign was full of complete Coen-movie nincompoops like Guilifoyle, and had to work with losing thirty three cents of every dollar it raised to the various grifters it employed, and yet it turned out voters like an old Chicago machine.  The guy still got more votes than any other candidate in history -- except for his opponent, luckily.  **** Trump forever, but I will always be in awe of his capability to get the marks on board.  We're just lucky that for every mark he brought in, he mortally pissed off 1.001 other voters...

(I mean, seriously Deutsch Bank? ... an unsecured loan for 1/3 of a billion dollars to a guy who went bankrupt operating casinos?  WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?)

finally a proper use for this song

 

There is always a montage

 

 

Looks like AG Barr finally got the message from Trump and has told prosecutors to go out and find fraud in the elections because Rudy Colludy is useless

 

Good to see...

Richard Pilger, a Department of Justice official who oversees investigations of voting crimes, stepped down from his role Monday after Attorney General Bill Barr authorized U.S. attorneys to probe alleged elections fraud, the New York Times first reported.

Why it matters: President Trump has refused to concede the election to President-elect Joe Biden, alleging a conspiracy of widespread voting fraud, but he has yet to provide relevant evidence.

Pilger states to colleagues in an email, also obtained by the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, the new DOJ policy is "abrogating the forty-year old Non-Interference Policy for ballot fraud investigation in the period prior to elections becoming certified and uncontested."

For the record: Pilger states, "Having familiarized myself with the new policy and its ramifications … I must regretfully resign from my role as Director of the Election Crimes Branch."

He has been director of the Election Crimes Branch of the Department of Justice since 2010 and will now "move to a nonsupervisory role working on corruption prosecutions," per the NYT.

Of note: Democrats have accused Barr of politicizing his role and of political interference in cases involving Trump associates — claims he strongly denies.

The DOJ did not immediately respond to Axios' request for comment.

Here's Pillger's e-mail to his colleagues:

Nice to see that there are still civil servants who live by a set of ethics. It is to be hoped that others in this administration will follow suit and curtain Trump's intent to cripple the government in a scorched earth retreat. Live like a jackhole, die like a jackhole.

There were others.   But Trump got rid of them.  

MAGA Maniacs Have Trump’s D.C. Hotel Booked Solid for His Inauguration. Donald Trump may have lost the election, but it’s not over for his faithful followers, apparently—there’s not a room to be had at his D.C. hotel between Jan. 16 and 21.

Given the actual election results, you could expect the Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C., to stand all but empty on Inauguration Day, like some political version of The Shining.

The halls should be deserted, as if haunted by a maniacal figure announcing, “Here’s Donnie!!!”

After all, you would think that not even the most fervent deniers of President Trump’s defeat would check in there come January really thinking their guy and not Joe Biden will be inaugurated.

That’s crazy..

 

If numbers matter anymore...

 

Trump and his sycophants will not respond to logic or legal requirements. He, and by extension, his acolytes are operating from a misture of rage and fear- a potent combination that allows for NO compromise. Besides, if Trump decamps, they are then exposed to criminal prosecution.

Wonder what is in the classified info that the Trump administration is preventing Biden from seeing, what info concerning Trump is the FBI and CIA is being withheld form the public

I would bet it is the degree of inappropriate direction from the White House to the judiciary, and law enforcement.

Indeed..

JB 47 years in US government and politics. He has lots of connections. My guess is he'll get access to the info he needs formally or informally regardless of imbecile Trump and gang. I absolutely loved today how he laughed while saying United States Secretary of State Pompeo.

There he goes, beating around the bush again.

 

At least a lot of the cretins, within the Trump administration get a bit more time........to polish up their resignation letters.

Seems like some people believe the election is over..

 

Kayleigh will now recant her fraud claim, right?

Right?

Right?

So what should be the punishment, public statement and shame, job loss, jail ?

There is more reason for concern in the US election today. William Kristol, longtime GOP supporter who has been willing to countenance almost everything through the GW Bush era and for the past few years of Trump's reign has seen enough and is openly calling for Repulicans to both denounce Trump's recent actions and accept the results of the election. He sees that Trump's cult  of  senators and congressmen are trying to undermine the public's trust in the electoral process by reiterating the baseless claims of election fraud  while pressuring state Republican governors to ignore the election results and override them by directly appointing their own, malleable electors to provide victory for Trump.

The Never Trump conservative discusses a concern that some Trump critics have been raising: what if Republican officials in individual states that Biden won refuse to accept the election results?

Kristol writes, "Are we 100 percent certain this doesn't soften the ground enough so that what seems almost unthinkable now becomes thinkable? Are we 100 percent certain the state legislature in, say, Georgia, won't start considering things that now seem outside the realm of the possible? And if the unthinkable actually happens in Georgia, are we certain that it could not then happen in Wisconsin? And Pennsylvania?"
