So we've gone from Russia helped steal the election in 2016, but we're just going to have accept these results? And they wonder why Trump and his supporters are sore losers? I'm never getting over this, never. Millions of people will never accept Biden as legit, telling Trump supporters to just get over it will make them more angry. There's no way this nation can heal now, the split just got worse.

The power of a lame-duck US president is substantial, particularly when it isn’t checked by concerns about repercussions or legacy. It remains to be seen how graceful an exit Donald Trump chooses to make, but he’ll have ample opportunity to create a mess on his way out should he so desire.
Perhaps the most notorious abuse of the lame-duck presidency occurred in the 1930s, after Herbert Hoover lost to Franklin Roosevelt. Hoover was a Republican who bitterly opposed Roosevelt’s interventionist approach to rescuing the economy from the Great Depression. Hoover prevented legislation that would alleviate suffering, such as a farm relief bill, and refused to intervene during a wave of bank failures unless President-Elect FDR repudiated the New Deal policies which got him elected (FDR refused).
What can Trump do?
Unlike Hoover, Trump will only have about two-and-a-half months remaining in office, but that’s plenty of time. In June, a group of more than 100 current and past campaign and elected officials from both parties convened to try and game out all the ways the presidential transition could go wrong. Called the Transition Integrity Project (TIP), it focused on both potential efforts by Trump to contest or discredit the election results if he lost, as well as the disruption he could cause during his lame duck period.
The TIP was particularly concerned about the ability of Trump and his family using their final weeks to enrich themselves. “Participants in our exercises of all backgrounds and ideologies believed that Trump would prioritize personal gain and self-protection over ensuring an orderly administrative handoff to his successor,” their report says (pdf).

Records
The TIP speculates the outgoing Trump administration may destroy records that might embarrass or implicate the White House or its foreign allies in wrongdoing.

The greatest constraint on Trump's behavior over the past four years was the knowledge that he would need to run for reelection. Now that burden is lifted. Trump is freer to act without fear of political consequences than at any other point in his tenure. The consequences from that flexibility — or perhaps impunity — could be profound.

Quote:And yet, you called us "Russian trolls" over and over again without the slightest shred of evidence. In fact, there is (or,was) a function that allows one to find which server a poster connects to the internet thru, and I was "revealed" to connect thru a server in ... guess where? LOS ANGELES! GEE, BIG SURPRISE!
1KIKI - I'll file that with "golden showers" and all the other made up "stuff" you flog here.
CC - How do you know that was made up? Do you have any evidence it didn’t happen?
"Trump Plans to Barricade Himself in the Oval Office and Refuse to Come Out If Biden Wins" Do you have any evidence this did happen?
Until somebody comes up with EVIDENCE - a concept you all seem to think means 'gossip' or 'I read it somewhere', which it doesn't - I'll file it with 'golden showers' and all the other ridiculous, evidence-free claims you lapped up so eagerly.
BTW - if you look at my COVID thread, you'll find nothing BUT evidence, except where I state a personal opinion, which I clearly identify as such.
I look for evidence at every turn. Do you?
CAPTNMUSH never believed or disbelieved the pee story - who knows and who the fck cares.
And there is direct evidence... testimony under oath by Crowdstrike officials that there was NO EVIDENCE that Russia hacked the DNC servers, handwritten notes of high WH-level meetings about persecuting Trump; texts, emails, and videos about collusion to oust Trump.
Was it you that posted
Quote:I've always thought you were an internet apparatchik. AND NO RESPECTOR OF EVIDENCE OR TRUTH. No wonder that you posted a completely evidence-free story!
If I didn't work on the internet, I wouldn't even be here?
It must have been hard, trying to push Biden over the finish line with assholes liked REAVERBOT on your "side"

There's no telling how much Russia influenced this election. +5% for Trump? Might even explain Trump's being an even bigger whiner than usual. "They said they had my back again! And after everything I did for them!"

Quote:If your idea of evidence is a barricade inside the Oval office with Trump on one side of the door and Biden on the other, trying to force the door open, it is not yet time because Biden is NOT at the door. But Trump called "these people", which means Biden, a thief. Trump will build that barricade when the thief comes to steal the Oval Office or else Trump was insane when he tweeted today:

“We believe these people are thieves. The big city machines are corrupt. This was a stolen election. Best pollster in Britain wrote this morning that this clearly was a stolen election, that it’s impossible to imagine that Biden outran Obama in some of these states.
....Where it mattered, they stole what they had to steal. @newtgingrich

Whatcan Trumpdid Obama do?
Well, he held a high-level meeting to to prosecute a RUSSIACOLLUSION! campaign, targeting Flynn with the Logan Act, and allowing widespread "unmasking" of those currently under (illegal, as it turns out) surveillance.
Fixed it for you.

President Donald Trump and other Republicans have, for months, claimed that the unmaskings proved a conspiracy and were a major scandal, but Texas U.S. Attorney John Bash will not bring any criminal charges in the matter, the Post said.
Signym, there is foundation of wrongness about you and your rewriting of history.
