DONALD TRUMP HITS FECES-FLINGING STAGE OF ELECTION “FRAUD” FIGHT
Anyone refusing to go along with his attempted coup
is getting their head ripped off and their hearing destroyed by the high-pitched screams.
insisting daily that a second term was stolen from him through rampant fraud,
which not even Bill Barr and Vladimir Putin, among others, will back himup on.
the latest targets of Trump’s ire, i.e.
“anyone who refuses to indulge conspiracy theories or hopeless bids to overturn the election,” include
V.P. Mike Pence,
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo,
White House chief of staff Mark Meadows,
White House counsel Pat Cipollone, and
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.
Trump is reportedly outraged that
Pence has, in his mind, not fought hard enough for him and
is preemptively enraged at the prospect of
the V.P. presiding over the January 6 session of Congress that will officially certify Biden as the Electoral College winner,
something Pence is cons utionally required to do.

^ There's the crybabies in this crybaby thread
Only God can judge this thread.
Show us on the doll where Donald hurt you
If Benito had had a Twitter account it probably would have looked a lot like Trump's.
this mother er does nothing
Laziest president since Wm H. Harrison.
at least his punkass did us a favor and died in office
A tale of two transitions amid crisis:
Bush smoothed the path for Obama,
while Trump creates chaos for Biden
“If there’s a continuum of smoothness, the 2008 transition stands out as about the best we’ve had and
the current one is one of the worst, if not the worst,”
President Trump has refused to concede the election to President-elect Joe Biden, and
baseless challenges of the results led to a delay of more than two weeks in the formal start of the complicated transition.
the Trump administration is taking steps that will hamstring Biden when he enters office,
such as pulling troops out of Afghanistan and requiring the next Treasury secretary to get congressional approval before gaining access to $455 billion in unspent coronavirus relief money.
Trump suggested Tuesday night that he might not sign the legislation and called for larger stimulus checks for Americans.
“It is a very, very hard job and the Trump administration is doing nothing to make it easier, and
because of that, it perhaps is going to make it more challenging to protect Americans from the pandemic and help the economy recover.”
every day of delay “had a cost to it.”
by continuing to suggest that Trump still might be president after Jan. 20 despite the Electoral College formally affirming Biden’s victory,
a mixed message is being sent from the top about cooperating with the incoming
this transition “definitely remains problematic.”
“Within an administration, people who have been appointed by him to political positions will take cues from the president,”
“I’m concerned that there may be a repeat of 2000 in a sense that
the jobs might not get filled quite fast enough in a world in which all kinds of trouble can happen,” Walcott said.
“This is something that people tended to take for granted,” he said of a smooth transition, “and now it’s really important.”

If Repugs retain the Senate, they will delay, deny Biden's appts to the Exec branch, because for the seditious Repugs (who want to overthrow America),
owning the "illegit" Dems is their only priority, meaning the Repugs don't GAF about governing (haven't for 45 years),
but a whole of about the Dems trying govern.
Denied his choices, Biden should throw dozens of illegal Chad Wolfs at the Repugs and get on with business.
Look how fit those two were.
Will be nice not having a Taft-size coffin mother er in the White House anymore.
7th Circuit Delivers Donald Trump A Christmas Eve Election Lawsuit Loss
Serial loser of election litigation and U.S. President Donald Trump has racked up yet another loss after a long string of losing election-related lawsuits.
This time, a panel of three judges on the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals—all of whom were appointed by Republican presidents
—affirmed the dismissal of a lawsuit Trump filed after losing the popular vote and, thus, the electoral college tally in the State of Wisconsin.
Trump previously lost at the district court level on the merits, one of his own appointees famously ruled twelve days ago.
Senior Circuit Judge Joel Flaum, a Reagan appointee,
joined judges Ilana Rovner (a George H. W. Bush appointee) and
Michael Y. Scudder (a Trump appointee)
to affirm the district court’s tossing of the suit on two grounds.

Pence has until Sunday to make a move to oust Trump with the help of House Democrats
a close reading of the 25th Amendment reveals that --
should Vice President Mike Pence want to make a move and oust an increasingly volatile Donald Trump from the Oval Office --
he has until Sunday to do it.
Conceding that Pence would also need the help of eight Trump Administration cabinet members to pull it off, Campos said the Democratic-controlled House could step in and help the vice president become acting president for the rest of Trump's term.
As Campos notes, Section Four of the amendment allows a vice president with the help of the majority of the cabinet to start in motion the removal of the president if the Oval Office resident is deemed to be unstable.
With the caveat that Pence would have to find eight cabinet members will to go up against the president,
Campos explained that Pence needs to hand a letter to both the House and the Senate declaring his intentions.
"Trump would put up a fight, but it wouldn't matter this late in his presidency.
Once Pence has transmitted the letter to Congress that makes him acting president,
Trump may contest the vice-president's actions via a letter of his own.
Section Four, however, would give Pence four days to respond to this letter," Campos wrote.
"After Pence did so, the Democrat-controlled House of Representatives could — by simple majority vote — decline to act on the substantive dispute for the remaining 21 days.
(Meanwhile, Democrats could filibuster any action in the Senate.)
Were it not the end of his term, Trump would return to office after 21 days if Congress failed to act."
Those 25 days are important, as he wrote, because,
"The mechanics of the amendment allow the vice-president to remain in the position of acting president for a minimum of 25 days,
as long as a simple majority of at least one chamber of Congress is willing to cooperate."

Need his wife's permission, Pence to show testicles ?
Ain't gonna happen, but Pence and 8 Cabinet members agree that Trash is a roadkill, powerless?
Trump administration finalizes regulation that will cost tipped workers more than $700 million annually
the Trump administration finalized a regulation on tips that
gives employers of tipped workers a loophole allowing them to capture more than $700 million annually from workers.
Prior to this new regulation, tipped workers had been protected by the very clear “80/20” rule,
which says they can spend a maximum of 20% of their time on nontipped duties while still being paid the subminimum wage for tipped workers.
The new regulation from the Trump administration
does away with this protection, replacing it with vague, much less protective language.
In particular, the new regulation allows tipped workers to be paid the subminimum tipped wage while performing an unlimited amount of nontipped duties
—as long as those nontipped duties are performed “contemporaneously with tipped duties or for a reasonable time [emphasis added] immediately before or after performing the tipped duties.”
“Reasonable time” is not defined, and
its ambiguity will make it difficult to enforce,
providing employers an immense loophole and leaving workers behind.

I suppose the National Restaurant Association wrote the rule
Will Biden annul it?
interesting fact, tipped labor became customary after the civil war. people didn't like the idea paying black folks regular wages.
