All purpose news and politics thread part VI: This Is Not The Time For Posing

And all because Trump refuses to admit he lost. No doubt that poor, delusional bastard will go to his grave believing he had been cheated out of a second term.

Trying to care about Trump's feelings...

...may take a while

Same here. But, that’s the thing with Trump, in his warped little mind, he’s never lost anything in his life, rather he’s always been cheated by others. Whether it’s an Emmy for The Apprentice or the presidency, he was robbed, time after time, and that’s something he’ll never let go for as long as he lives.

I think it's more than that. I suspect that he really believes that he is entitled to get whatever he wants, that he sees himself as an American version of Putin, also that he really is so ignorant of what the job of President of the USA is, that he is ignorant of what the USA is, what the Constitution is, what laws are and so on, that Trump just doesn't understand why he can't do in the US what Putin is doing in Russia.

Yes, he is delusional, he is also ignorant, arrogant, selfish, greedy, self-centered, lazy, spoiled rotten, and criminally dismissive of the laws.

SCOOP - Sidney Powell was in Oval Office last night as POTUS discussed making her special counsel for election fraud.

Maggie Habermann kinda burying the lede there with Trump wanting to lead a military coup and his clown lawyers shooting down that idea.

And apparently, those crazy Turning Points USA kids did not check with covid guidelines and booked a venue that is too small, and preppy kids are rioting outside, asking to be let in.

Not to mention the military saying that's a non-starter. So, Trump was snubbed by SCOTUS and the military said no to his suggestion of a coup, that doesn't leave him with very many options left. Still, with 32 days until inauguration day, Trump will keep on fighting until the eleventh hour and beyond, with that SDNY trial hanging over his head after he leaves office, his freedom potentially depends on it. The most dangerous man is a desperate one backed in a corner, heaven only knows what Trump will do between now and January 20th, especially with a still spineless and complicit GOP continuing to enable him.

There is a certain irony that this happened in a place called Mount Healthy.

Parents face charges after renting party bus for their child's 14th birthday, police say

Parents who rented a party bus for their child's 14th birthday face charges after 60 maskless kids crammed onto the vehicle and then got into several fights after they were dropped off, police in Ohio said.

The incident occurred Saturday night when officers on patrol saw an unmarked bus enter the Hilltop Shopping Center in Mount Healthy, about 15 miles north of Cincinnati.

The police department said in a Facebook statement that the bus traveled from Cincinnati to Mount Healthy and dropped off the group without permission from the owners of the shopping center.

Police said the group was not wearing masks or trying to maintain social distancing.

The stupidity was strong in that assemblage. And people wonder why the virus has run rampant in this country when dumb shit like this is going on.

Stop, stop!

Heheheheheheh

It gets crazier.

"Shortly thereafter, several fights broke out which necessitated calls for assistance from other police agencies," the Mount Healthy Police Department said in a Facebook statement. "One juvenile attempted to strike Mt. Healthy Police Officer Dunn and was arrested."

The department said that officers told the bus driver to let the group back on, but the driver refused and drove away "leaving the crowd of approximately 60 juveniles in a very agitated state for officers to deal with."s

"Officers worked over the next hour to break up numerous fights and distance the juveniles," police said.

The Mount Healthy Police Department said that officers eventually learned that the bus had been rented to celebrate one of the children's birthdays. The parents, who have not been identified, posted a notice on social media saying the gathering was an "open invite," according to police.

Because a pandemic is a perfect time to hang out with strangers.

Well, please be sure to let us know when that day arrives. ‘kay?

Might as well leave those episodes there. Maybe film new footage of the writers and cast talking about that episode. Last time I checked Donald Glover, Yvette Brown and Tracy Morgan are BLACK. Donald Glover was a writer on 30 Rock.

Did they say anything?

I just wanna reiterate that Chang dressed up as a Dark Elf in the D&D episode. Literally painting himself jet black with a white wig. It wasn't exactly black face. He wasn't pretending to be African American. I think the episode was taken down kinda... stupidly? Like, was anyone really offended by it? Was the black community upset about it?

If The Donald suggested a coup to the military, he really ought to be on trial for treason sometime in the near future.

Most likely academic...I really want to be his health insurer.

Bidens administration is facing a relatively unique dilemma. Do they break with tradition and risk setting a precedent by prosecuting an outgoing President of the other party or turn a blind eye to potential treason?

Other countries has charged their presidents, sitting or otherwise, with crimes. Why is the US so fragile that we can't do the same?

I mean hell, Israel's done it!
