Lame-duck Trump administration is negotiating new nuclear weapons agreement with Putin: report
https://www.rawstory.com/2020/11/lame-duck-trump-administration-is-neg
otiating-new-nuclear-weapons-agreement-with-putin-report/
Russian President Vladimir Putin is negotiating a new nuclear agreement with the United States during a chaotic transition period for the country. While Republicans claim “fraud” over ballot counting, Putin seems to be exercising his power.
"If I give you all of our nuclear codes, can I get asylum?"
Second order of business (after re-entering the Paris Climate Agreement) is to cancel anything pertaining to this agreement..
Then undo the other 7k things Trump has done to screw over our country. This can be done in parallel while prosecuting Trump and his associates.

Good.
If he had pulled the troops from abroad, and negotiated a nuclear arms deal with Putin, and weeded the deep state/neocons/ warhawks out of his administration in his second year, he would have won in a landslide

In a new book, billionaire Charles Koch writes that his partisanship badly deepened America’s divisions: “Boy, did we screw up! What a mess!”
Charles Koch Says His Partisanship Was a Mistake
At 85, the libertarian tycoon who spent decades funding conservative causes says he wants a final act building bridges across political divides
https://www.wsj.com/articles/charles-koch-says-his-partisanship-was-a-
mistake-11605286893
Is Charles Koch feigning naïveté? Seriously? The partisan division was planned, systematic and orchestrated with massive amounts of money. Not exactly an "Oops."
That’s all you have to say for yourself, you partisan fucking weasel?! You can single handedly rebuild every bridge you helped burn down the last 12+ years, and maybe we’ll talk afterward. Except haven’t you done enough damage already?! Why can’t you just shut it all down and fuck off to hell where you belong already?

I sure do hope Trump negotiates a new nuclear deal with Russia. I'd LOVE to see the democrats vilify it as a bad thing, and tell us how we're so much safer without it.

Yeah, Trump was an a$$#o!e, but that didn't make him wrong about everything. Simply slapping a label on someone and hating them doesn't answer the relevant question: Since (roughly) 50% of the people voted for him the last time and this time as well, one should wonder why. What did he get right?

Trump is this kind of cult leader:
The hard-and-fast narcissist
Last, there's the cult leader who has been a narcissist for the majority of their life, Bernstein said.
"That's how they've been since they were little. They feel ultimately entitled to completely lie to you, to put on this good charming face, to get you to believe what they're selling, whatever it is, whether it's God or a product or anything," she said.
According to Bernstein, most cult leaders are narcissists, and are a "bottomless pit of ego need."
This type of personality could explain why someone like Raniere set up his cult in the manner he did, with a constant need for members' blackmail, which he called "collateral," and obedience to him and his belief system.
Even if a NXIVM member devoted a decade of their life to the group, one slip up would label them as untrustworthy or a failure to their community. That belief creates a "hamster wheel" of unhealthy behaviors and relationships, according to Bernstein.
"I would say most cult leaders are malignant narcissists. They don't care about the damage they're causing. They don't care about the lies they're telling, and they don't care about the families they're destroying. They just need to need it, and they need to be loved, they need to be adored, they need to be feared."

This explains why Trump keeps saying the election was rigged. He can't accept a reality where he fails. He literally can't believe he lost.

Some think he's God's chosen. Others think he's the strong man who asserts his awesomeness everywhere he goes. Others see him as the reason they will finally get the race war they fantasize about.
They project their desires onto him, and he is always the perfect answer to their problems.
No matter how much he lies, or how stupid he sounds, they rationalize it away, because they see themselves in him:
Collective narcissism (or group narcissism) extends the concept of individual narcissism onto the social level of self. It is a tendency to exaggerate the positive image and importance of a group the individual belongs to, be it defined by religion, social class, race, political stance, language group, nationalism, employment status, education level or cultural values– i.e. the ingroup.[1][2]
While the classic definition of narcissism focuses on the individual, collective narcissism asserts that one can have a similar excessively high opinion of a group, and that a group can function as a narcissistic entity.[1]
Collective narcissism is related to ethnocentrism. However, ethnocentrism primarily focuses on self-centeredness at an ethnic or cultural level, while collective narcissism is extended to any type of ingroup, beyond just cultures and ethnicities.[1][3]
While ethnocentrism is an assertion of the ingroup's supremacy, collective narcissism is a self-defensive tendency to invest unfulfilled self-entitlement into a belief about the ingroup's uniqueness and greatness. Thus, the ingroup is expected to become a vehicle of actualisation of frustrated self-entitlement.[2]
When applied to a national group, collective narcissism is similar to nationalism: a desire for national supremacy.[4] Positive overlap between ingroup satisfaction and collective narcissism suppresses collective narcissistic intergroup hostility.[2]

I hope you realize treaties have to be voted on in the Senate and passed with a 2/3 majority to be in force ... right?
Which is why Trump could 'withdraw' the US from so many treaties ... they were never put up for a vote ... and therefore were never in force.

A few months from now isn't "the end".
Your giving the Establishment the tools they need to have complete control over everybody forever. You are an unwitting tool in the end of freedom.
A Legacy Media who decides what you think? Check.
A big tech setup that will censor and remove anybody or anything that strays from their narrative? Check.
A system in place to rig any election in the future with zero accountability? Check.
I'm really glad for you that it worked out this time and you got Trump out of office.
But from now on they get to do whatever they want to and you're never going to be able to stop it.
Hope it keeps working out your way. Doubt very much that it will.
Enjoy that 6 week nationwide lockdown that Biden's going to do first thing he gets into office. Hopefully it actually ends at some point and doesn't go on forever like the wars int he Middle East. Hopefully everybody you know doesn't become enslaved and completely dependent on the Government handouts that are going to be necessary to do this again.

Trump is engaging in U.S. history’s deadliest-ever sulk
https://www.washingtonpost.com/
President Trump will be remembered for many things. For the audacity of his mendacity. For his ready recourse to prejudice. For his savant’s ability to rile and ride social resentment. For his welcoming of right-wing crackpots into the Republican coalition. For his elevation of self-love into a populist cause. For his brutal but bumbling use of force against protesters. For his routinization of self-dealing and political corruption. For his utter lack of public spirit and graciousness, even to the very end. And, to be fair, for the remarkable achievement of winning more than 73 million votes without an appealing message, without significant achievements and without a discernible agenda for the future. But though Trump will be remembered for all these things, he will be judged for one thing above all: When the pandemic came and hundreds of thousands of Americans died, he didn’t give a damn.

The wars have been lost, but Trump kept flushing money down the toilet:
By the Department of Defense’s own accounting, taxpayers spent $13.34 trillion on the U.S. military from 2000 through fiscal year 2019 in inflation-adjusted 2020 dollars. Add to that another $3.18 trillion for the Veterans Administration, and the yearly average comes to a whopping $826 billion. No other country’s military outlays come close.

Senate Blocks Confirmation Of Trump’s Federal Reserve Nominee Judy Shelton
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell voted no, giving him the option to bring Shelton’s nomination up again at a later date.
https://www.huffpost.com/entry/senate-blocks-judy-shelton-trump-federa
l-reserve_n_5fb424dcc5b6a4664671b912
Shelton’s views have made her a doyen of the far-right fringe, where a return to 19th century economic institutions is viewed as the cure for all that ails the global economy. But those same ideas have alarmed mainstream economists and financial professionals who believe such programs fueled the Depression and would generate international economic chaos today.
Shelton is also viewed even within her own party as a partisan opportunist. After advocating the gold standard and voicing support for high interest rates, she quickly reversed course once Trump announced his intention to nominate her to the Fed. Trump is an outspoken advocate of low interest rates, believing them to be a source of economic growth. And prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Fed’s commitment to low rates proved an economic boon, helping to drive unemployment to its lowest levels in decades. With Trump in the White House, Shelton insisted she wanted to keep rates low and distanced herself from her prior comments about the gold standard and deposit insurance.

If you guys successfully steal the election, it will be a pleasure to vote for him a third time in 2024.
In the mean time, I have shit to do. Have fun destroying each other when there is no Bogey Man to focus all of your collective hate on anymore.

I did, my dear Russian troll: "I'm sure the Pentagon, not Presidents, decide who gets killed where." By the way, it is the Pentagon, not the President, that tells Congress what its budget will be. Presidents keep pretending they are in charge of budgets. They are not. It is the Pentagon and Congress. Congressmen don't want their fingerprints on the dead bodies killed by the Pentagon, which is why there has been no declarations of war since 1942. It is very convenient to make Presidents the prime murder suspects. And the voters are simpletons easily tricked about who killed who for what false/worthless reasons.

Yup.
Second doesn't reply to my post because he realizes that THIS is how adults act when they don't get their way.
He got his way and he's still acting like a little crybaby bitch.
There's just no pleasing some people.

Trump appoints speechwriter fired for attending conference with white nationalists to commission that preserves Holocaust memorials
https://news.yahoo.com/trump-appoints-speechwriter-fired-for-attending
-conference-with-white-nationalists-211254619.html
Over the course of his presidency, Trump has stocked various boards, councils and commissions with functionaries who seem antithetical to the work of the federal government. One of his appointments to the board of Amtrak, for example, was Todd Rokita, a former Indiana congressman who opposed Amtrak funding. In keeping with his transactional view of politics, Trump has rewarded friends and allies with such positions.
Beattie’s three-year term on the commission gives him, like other Trump appointees, a foothold in the federal bureaucracy long after President-elect Joe Biden takes office.
Jewish groups expressed dismay at news of Beattie’s appointment. “It’s appalling that someone who was considered too close to xenophobic white nationalists to continue working in the Trump White House would now be appointed to a U.S. government body focused largely on the preservation of sites dedicated to the memory of Holocaust victims,” said Logan Boroff, communications director for J Street, a progressive Jewish lobbying organization.
