are you sure he is taking the piss? Randy went off the deep end quite a while ago.

Judging by his Twitter page he's completely pro Trump.

He isn't joking, his wife is absolutely batshít too.

This seems to be the odds for the control of the Senate after the Jan runoff! Seems the Democrats have a decent enough chance of taking control, really depends on how the Republicans act and vote and what Trump and his supporters do and don't do in light of what has just happened!

Excellent post!
These people have invested so heavily that they'll need to be debriefed

It's akin to a ponzi scheme imploding. People are so invested in it that they will latch onto any shred of legitimate sounding excuses from the local dopes "representing" the schemers, the same one's who gave the initial product presentation which duped them (e.g. Don't worry, the money is pooled in a term deposit account in Nicaragua/there is a server in Germany en route back to the US). It helps them continue believing in the "product". The product itself was merely a hollow one and a money making grift by those at the top. The desperation in such people is sad and tangible yet ultimately there will be that stomach churning realisation that they won't be getting their money back. The more gullible will have "invested" thousands in the scheme and they are likely to be the one's who spend years ahead collectively seeking remuneration (which will never come) instead of accepting they were silly to get taken in by the con initially, that they didn't do their homework and chalk it up as an expensive learning lesson in being so utterly gullible.

Former NZ Prime minister, Piggy Muldoon said about kiwis emigrating to Australia; it raises the average IQ in both countries. He wasn't wrong. Australia is the Alabama of the south Pacific.

Aw, I miss Randy Quaid. He was brilliant in Kingpin. Now, it seems as though he has turned into Cousin Eddie.

Does anyone else when they read Randy Quaid automatically think Denis Quaid. No, just me so

I used to get them confused fairly easily, myself, but now I remember that one of them continues to be busy acting in movies and TV, and the other's name is Randy.

Unfortunately, Randy seems to be another Hollywood actor who has fallen into the Trump rabbit hole. Actually, in Randy's case, he'd already been down a few such holes.

I wouldn't mind, but when they go declare their support of Trump, it's often to that high level. Like, they can't just say the prefer his support of low taxes and non-interventionism. They have to be on board with the whole voter fraud without evidence (preferably expressed in a scream tweet).

They can't, they have invested so much in the conspiracy lunacy that to back out now woud be an adminssion that they were a) totally conned and b) conned because they weren't smart enough to see through the con.

David Aaronovitch's Voodoo Histories is a great read about conspiracy theories

Most people would be forgiving if they just admitted they were wrong and started making amends.

How many posters on this very site have found themselves in a spot where they kind of knew they were on the losing end of an argument, but didn't want to just say, "OK, look, I'm wrong."? Especially where they enter the debate with a forceful opinion? I can recall seeing it, but not much.

So, now, if you imagine yourself in a Trump t-shirt and hat, surrounding yourself with people who share your beliefs, it's very hard to reconcile your platform with the reality of the situation. You'd gone into that movement full force, and it's just too much of an ego death to totally disavow it.

I think the best you can hope for is that some of these people return to normality after a period of reflection. I think it's a good psychological principle - if you want someone to do something, it really helps if you can let them think it was their own idea.

A number of them are just attention seekers, like John Lydon.

The list of charges against Assange went up during Trump's term. I wouldn't be expecting any pardons if I was Julian.

This is just like an action film !!!

We're getting to see Joe Biden win the same race dozens of times from different angles and at different speeds

Or watch Trumpeter fall to the canvas repeatedly after the same KO punch

( I'll leave out a sex scene comparison )

Trump's tactic to get the result overturned in the courts had one fatal flaw: He had no case to bring.

Biden has now crossed 80m votes. That is the biggest vote for a POTUS in history. I think it was never above 70m in the past.

Another way to look at it, never before have so many people voted one person out of office as the citizens of the US did with Trump. 80m of them felt that, despite being continually told how truly awful Biden is, that they would vote Trump out of office.

So at least Trump won that I suppose

Maybe Trump was right and people got sick of "winning". I don't get how reconciliation can happen now given many think all Democrats are peado satanists and Trump got 400 EC at a minimum. From browsing the Donald. win I can only presume there would be some homophobic slurs thrown into their descriptions of Democrats and many posters here.

Leroy42 · 24-11-2020 08:22PM

Another thing that must really be bugging Trump today is just how little impact the news of the GSA move last night has actually generated.

The vast majority of people had already moved on and were simply waiting for Trump to accept the inevitable. The only question was how long they would allow him his tantrum.

Trump is already starting to see the loss of impact he will feel once he is no longer POTUS.

Sure he will botch and moan on Twitter, or similar, and he may even hold rallies, but he will be ignored for most of the time. Not completely, because he does generate clicks so media will still want to carry him sometimes, but he will no longer be the thing that people think about 1st thing when they wake up or talk about how stuff went down at the end of the day.
