Trump once again fires someone on Twitter - Defense Secretary Mark Esper.
Looks like Trump is doing a series of revenge firings. Attorney General Bill Barr and FBI director Christopher A. Wray are likely next, as well as Anthony Fauci.Last edited by Amadeus Arkham; 11-09-2020 at 11:57 AM.

Could go either way, but its likely that he's been boiling over every annoyance of the last four years and had an "Esper made me look weak" spasm when his memory drifted over the riots. Originally Posted by Tami

He's at least clearing the decks for Biden to come in or rehire some possibly. I mean its petty and stupid. It shows where his mindset is .

After 2016, the faithless electors laws were changed in many states and in DC.
On December 8th, states that have faithless electors have to certify their votes, and replace them. The legal battles have to to be completed by December 14.
The only state this will affect is PA because the GOP controlled house might try to defy the will of the Dem Governor. Otherwise, they are bound to vote by the popular vote.
There's not enough states to flip it towards Trump the other way.
The chickens of the 2016 and 2000 elections are coming home to roost.Last edited by BeastieRunner; 11-09-2020 at 11:31 AM.

Like a spoiled child denied candy before dinner, Trump is lashing out in anger, and I suspect more heads will roll, if but for no other reason than it’ll make him feel good to fire people. Originally Posted by Tami

The offer to make Trump lose again, that will be too tempting. Originally Posted by kidfresh512

Mary Trump has pointed this out,
"What’s interesting is that Donald has never won anything legitimately in his entire life, but because he has been so enabled by people along the way, he has never lost anything either....the result is he has been experiencing this slow drip-drip of disaster over the past few days. Oh, you have these huge margins! Now your margins are shrinking. Oh, Joe Biden’s ahead. Now his margins are growing. It must have been like slow torture, but he set up this failure for himself."

So the sting of defeat is enough to intimidate him from ever coming back into politics again.

I personally think Trump is either truly crazy or so arrogant that he could not see the forest for the trees that there was a chance he could loose the election. Originally Posted by Revolutionary_Jack

Those two factors should have made anyone known there was a 90% chance you were going to get FIRED.

Where's the threat? They can get unemployment and don't have to work at a train wreck. I'd be yelling that through the halls Originally Posted by MiddleMan
