Its still because of the Presidential office that is why some of them are still polite, to him like the Georgia SOS and Pence

After January 20, You will start hearing phrases like "Maannn you are as dumb as a rock, no one just wanted to tell you for the past 4yrs"
Spot on.
I also shake my head when people say that Trump would still be a very powerful kingmaker when he leaves office because of all the money he has raised.
Soon as Trump leaves office,many Republicans would either publicly or privately be spurning out negative things about him and his actions in office, again for their own selfish interest,that even all that money he has raised would not be that powerful again.
Asides that,there are many lawsuits waiting for him to contest against that he maybe so distracted and drained by the time he is dragged from one court to another or is constantly being harassed in his office or offices when legal search warrants are executed on him and his companies.
Finally,there are also some hard leaning democrats that would pressurise many states or attorneys to pursue criminal charges against Trump,but new and old,if only to make him a paperweight if not powerless politician.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom picks top state official Alex Padilla to replace Kamala Harris in Senate

California Secretary of State Alex Padilla will succeed Vice President-elect Kamala Harris in the U.S. Senate, Gov. Gavin Newsom announced Tuesday.
Padilla, a son of Mexican immigrants, will be the first Latino senator for California, where Latinos represent nearly 40% of the state’s population.
Padilla will finish Harris’ term through 2022, when he will be up for reelection if he chooses to run https://www.cnbc.com/2020/12/22/gavin-newsom-picks-alex-padilla-replace-kamala-harris-senate-seat.html

A lot of Republicans know he's a vile creature but they are scared to call him out and here we are now taking the Party of Lincoln to the sewage with him. See the show of shame going on in DC right now with the Hate Mongers holding their Hate rally under the spice of being Patriots. Woe unto them all.

If you listen to the call with the SOS, the man was saying "Sir it doesnt work that way,"
Some of the excerpts you will know that will man was only respecting the office by not using harsher language

Raffensperger :"Mr. President, the challenge that you have is, the data you have is wrong. We talked to the congressmen and they were surprised." (The part in bold could have been worded as "Man you are hearing voices in your head or living in cuckooland"

Raffensperger: You're talking about the State Farm video. And I think it's extremely unfortunate that Rudy Giuliani or his people, they sliced and diced that video and took it out of context. (What do you think he meant by Rudi and his people? - That simply means loonies in other words)

Raffensperger: Mr. President, the problem you have with social media, they — people can say anything. (Only an idiott takes what he sees on Social Media as legal evidence)

In fact, I commend the SOS for being so calm and composed, when others in his position may have been combative, regardless of President Trump’s status

It is a good choice and a very good choice at that. We have had many AG in American history that has no experience working for DOJ. That's not a requirement for the job.

Life time job means nothing to most people in US. Who wants to work all his life to death. There's a time to hang it up and he will probably be set for life after his tenure as Attorney General if he's confirmed by the Senate. Biden and his team must have told him about the appointment before they leak the story and that means he has accepted it.

I respectfully beg to disagree.
The power of that office he holds is what is still fuelling some of these supporters actions and belief.
When he leaves office,that power goes and reality dawns,what will he have over them?His money and his lies and those can only go that far.
Anyway,I maybe partly wrong and it's only after January 20,we would all know.
Don't also forget his Twitter POTUS handle daily would be taken away from him, depleting his audience and if he uses the new handle to be spewing the kind of lies he is getting away with now,he would be flagged and blocked.

Exactly my point.Biden must have communicated with him he agreed.Biden will appoint a replacement to his seat but I don't like this pick for AG.Doug Jones or Sally Yates should have been better but it is Biden's choice so na him know

Judging by what Trump has done to the DOJ and the need for his prosecution or would have been sensible to appoint someone who has experience there or the balls to prosecute Trump and his cronies.Merrick Garlans who knows what he may do but many people want Trump to be dealt with and may not be happy with his pick

Trump will be dealt with if fund to have done wrong..But going into administration with the thought f running only after Trump wont do too well for the country. Trump has more cases on his head that might not even concern the FG..so let the process play out and if found guilty,he pays for his crimes

All those three, Yates, Jones and Garland would have been ok with me compared to that fat slimy buffoon called Bill Barr. Look at Garland as a compensation by the way he was treated by TurtleNeck MoscowMitch when he was appointed as a Supreme Court Justice by President Obama.

You don't know how ridiculous you are. Imagine President of the Senate and Vice President Gore refusing to affirm the election of George W. Bush who beat him.

That's what you are expecting Pence to do.


basilico:


Nyet is Russian for No.Nyet also loosely translates to Not yet.
Meanwhile MI has sent a letter to Pence requesting him to delay the count .PA did the same yester.

Kamala if confidence level is high should have resigned by now In order to be the first ever VP female. I forgot that Pelosi wants to ban misgendered nouns in Congress.The lead prayer the other day ended the prayer with "Amen and Awomen". Funny how leftists want to redefine gender.
For now I'll not eat a mango , will eat a womango.
And I'll start describing you not as a mental case but a womental case.

Both the House and the Senate just convened to officially ratify the electoral votes to confirm Boden as the next POTUS. The circus Barker is in DC barking at his Nazis and Klans that idolize him. Two more weeks for Trump's lunacy to go upstream. Bye bye to the worst human to ever seat behind the Resolute Desk.
