    Dr. Fauci just revealed today that Trump hasn’t attended a COVID-19 briefing in over several months.

    Of course not. We're in the spite phase where Trump is going to let it spread all over and when people are still dying in February, scream on social media (whatever he's not banned from) about what a bad job Biden is doing as the numbers hit all-time highs.

    They'll be high at the start of the Biden administration because he'll have done less than nothing, he'll actively have hosted events that caused hundreds of deaths.

    Something Twitter won’t do, and everyone knows it. They’ll flag his tweets to death but won’t ban him because Trump is too good for business, and the bottom line is everything.

    Legal Eagle on what happens if Trump refuses to leave:


    The long and short of it is 45 can do 3 things:

    - Fire polical appointees
    - Blanket pardons, use the DOJ to have formal positions to formalize his illegal acts, and paper over them with memos to close them. The PRA of 1978 makes it legal for 45 to even destroy these records.
    - Biden's SS team will trump 45's team, and any all teams can be arrested and charged with felonies. There does not even have to be proof. So if he locks himself in a bathroom, it won't end well for him. And he will go to federal prison. But when the EC convenes and selects Biden, all this is moot.

    If legacy social media bans him, look for Trump to create his own.

    PS: Weird to think we're now in a time where social media has entrenched incumbents. Seems like they only emerged from the www.cesspool just yesterday.

    The whole idea Trump is gonna create his own media company to challenge Fox News from scratch is a big pipe dream. Investors aren't gonna trust Donald Trump with billions of dollars in funding needed to do it. I mean we saw Quibi go down as a streaming service recently with billions invested. And that had actual business people attracted to it and it went down the tubes. Does anyone think mega rich people are gonna throw money at Donald to waste on a vanity project to scream how great he was as President ?

    To me what will happen is this...


    - Trump will buy a small percentage into OAN. He will get like a 1-10% stake into OAN as a network and the deal basically is to use his fame to show him doing his own show and speeches etc. OAN will know he can attract big attention to the network. Trump will act like he owns the entire network but only has that percentage due to his "name value" for them.

    A couple of Facebook "alternatives" seem to have gotten some play by conservatives in the past few weeks. Abandoning FB because its a "liberal cesspool" that restricts speech, or some such, and heading to Parler or ... another one whose name escapes me. There are places like that where Trump could end up. Personally I think he's burned enough bridges on both sides of the aisle at this point that he's going to essentially be ostracized by everything relevant to the news cycle.

    That is sad. Facebook leans right. If you need a telescope to see the middle ...

    It's like how they had to start a conservative alternative to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not left-leaning.

    You cannot just create another reality because you do not agree with the one you live in.

    Own up to it ... learn ... move on ... argh ...

    Conservapedia is so far gone that even a drug induced fever dream is closer to reality.

    And Parler may as well rebrand itself as MeinSpace.

    Considering that perhaps seven out of ten people have no idea what OAN is, I figure the network will be more than happy to deal with Trump since, as a former president, he’ll bring the network legitimacy (of a sort), not to mention a ready made audience, that being Trump’s base that’ll abandon Faux News for the new kid on the block.

    Trump is in heavy debt and doesn't have any money to do this.

    I hope this will lead to many media outlets playing the "it's not just that you're a crook..." moment from the last debate over and over.
    I'm waiting for the inevitable 'What's the matter, Senator Perdue? Chicken?!" joke. And if no one else will make it, I will.

    Really, that's less of a revelation and more of a 'No shit'.
