::snort:: Sorry, Scotland, but he’s all yours. We’ll send bleach and whiskey. Scotland won't let his plane land, they hate him. It would be bad if they shoot his plane down for going into their airspace without authorization eh?

This does make me legitimately nervous. Not in a civil war way but in a for these people’s families, coworkers, neighbors way. One of the replies was "all the bigger plan is for Biden to fail and for Trump to sweep in after 4 years to unite the country." These people are delusional

I'm reminded of the fervent Bernie supporters during the Democratic convention back in 2016. Some were truly convinced that some grand *something* was going to happen and he was going to end up getting the nomination. Cult-like delusions.

Or a country without an extradition treaty. I will dissent to earlier comments and say I don't think he's going to get away with all ::waves hands:: this. Some stuff will be dropped because there is simply too much, but I sincerely believe the crime family is going down. Maybe not in a juicy way (I think it will probably be taxes), but I believe they will. I think he's getting crazier and crazier because he is grade A fucked come 12:01pm on the 20th. I also deeply disagree that dems going after this call sets any kind of precedent against future dem wins. It only sets precedent if someone else commits treason. This is high HIGH treason.

Does being in Scotland actually protect him in anyway or could it just be a pitstop to another location? This is just speculation/hoping obviously lol

This is just speculation/hoping obviously lol If there's rumbling that being in the UK protects him from potential extradition I think it's ONLY bc Assange just got a favorable ruling from a UK judge. But I think we're miles away from extradition being a concern, personally. I genuinely don't think any prosecutor is worried about him golfing in Prestwick.

He's got a lot of issues that they've been sweeping under the rug.

He might be alive but I can’t imagine that he’ll be in the physical and/or mental shape to do much in 4 years. Ivanka worries me though.

I may eat crow but I also have a feeling that the Trump base is about Trump. Not about conservative policies and other republicans. They're about the dude. And maybe someone like MTGreene. But I don't see the other trumps having his draw, nor cruz. And the other trumps are going down with the IRS or SEC methinks. And jaygee I think that is the most likely outcome as well.

I hope you’re right. I don’t know. They seem pretty infatuated with Don Jr and also I think they think owning the libs would be getting behind Ivanka or Nikki Haley (in a “see we’re not misogynists” way).

I feel like some of the slightly more rational could get behind Haley. I think the rabid proud boys factions are all in on DJT. And I do believe that Ivanka is in considerable hot water as well.

I think part of my (perhaps misplaced) confidence in this, is that DJT won't necessarily throw any weight behind his kids. He's about himself and him alone. Unless he's dead I don't see his cult followers straying from him, even if its one of his kids.
Kind of like how his camp was like "well he'll rally in georgia, get out the vote!" and all he's done is commit treason trying to stay in power and (please dear god please) hopefully torpedoed their chances in the senate.
Or maybe I'm just pollyanna because I had a good day today. lol

Ugh. Lots more maskless people here today than in Nov. Like they all decided that now that our major hospitals are full is a great time to get sick.

Also in non-US political news, we elect our new President on January 24th and I have been watching the debates. I like the system here. Everyone debates everyone but only in pairs. It is almost certain our current president, Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa will be re-elected. He is fine, but I dont like how he views the voters that are being attracted to far-right party, Chega. I am still deciding who to vote for, but thought I would share this snack of a Communist who is running. He is also a biologist.

I have heartburn. Any one else have heartburn? This is going to be a long couple/few days. I had it bad in November. Just saw something yesterday from NPR that said antacid sales are through the roof!

She's afraid to walk to her office by herself? In a part of the District swarming with police? Where every inch is covered by a security camera? Snowflake.

I swear if GA elects these senators and files criminal charges against T, I’m going to restart my pressure campaign with H to move back.
Go Georgia Go!!
