The problem with being on the extreme of the political spectrum is that the second you fail an ideological purity test in the absence of a galvanising force, you're done. The far right has been stagnating a bit fairly recently so the impetus for the extremists to remain united has been relatively lacking. Yiannopoulos has boasted about being at parties with "very young boys". My capacity to sympathise with him evaporated a long time ago.

He won't be physically evicted, his assets won't be seized, he won't be charged with tax evasion. Because that's for poor people. The US justice system is faster than ours, but with enough money you can slow it down. By the time he's exhausted all his legal options he'll have been living there for the best part of a decade (if he's still alive), then he'll sell up, give the IRS their money and go somewhere else.

Well no-one is asking him to! Then he is going to go and play presidents at Maralargo. That's fine, keep him out of mischief. Edit, when you look at it, its a very clear indication that he understands Biden is going to be sworn in, and move into the White House.

Indeed the document basically accumulates and regurgitates already debunked claims but puts it in a neater, more official seeming package with a newer time and date on it for Parler-bots to gobble up.https://www.mediaite.com/election-2020/peter-navarro-repeatedly-calls-for-trump-to-appoint-special-prosecutor-to-investigate-2020-election-trump-cant-do-that/ That and Michael Flynn is still calling for a military coup d’êtait. No. Seriously. That’s not a euphemism he wants us to do what we did in Iraq: roll out the military and coerce citizens to vote again while we roll tanks through the street.https://www.mediaite.com/election-2020/michael-flynn-calls-for-military-rerun-of-presidential-race-in-swing-states-dismisses-georgia-senate-runoff-as-fake-election/ The only way I wrap my head around it is Navarro is getting a pardon and Flynn is getting another because, maybe I’m flying off the handle here, but how in the **** is that not Insurrection? We have a constitutional crisis if a Lameduck incumbent can try to stage a coup and then pardon himself for his efforts.
