The Donald Trump Presidency Thread After Hours

[David76]

Barrett confirmed 52-48. Only Susan Collins with the standard meaningless dissent.

In a sign of the times, she is the first Justice appointed since 1869 where the minority party did not provide any support. Brett Kavanaugh had one Dem vote from Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia (likely the only reason he got re-elected in 2018).

Michael Moore reckons Trump has one more Supreme Court appointment left in him, going to happen post-Election Day. Going to be known as the Trump Supreme court for decades.

Donald Trump Jr. says the number dead in America due to Covid are almost nothing.
Donald Trump says the deaths are exaggerated so doctors can claim more money because it was a "Covid related death"

It's insane that this admin is even being considered for another 4 years

This is quite worrying. Things could get messy on the streets next week

Trump and the Republicans are building a narrative that votes counted after election night are not valid and are somehow an attempt by democrats to steal back the election. This is obviously nonsense. There is nothing in American law that states that all votes need to be counted on election night. In fact, the whole concept of election night is a media creation rather than something enshrined in law.

There may be some grey area regarding votes received after election day but all postal votes received up to election day may need a few days to be fully counted and are just as valid as those cast in person.

You can't steal back an election if all the votes haven't even been counted yet.

This is very damaging and deceitful by the GOP.

I don't understand what the legal basis for such a battle would even be.

I don't understand what the legal basis for such a battle would even be.

There doesn't necessarily need to be a strong legal basis, just enough to throw the results into question.

Ideally, Biden wins, he threatens Silicon Valley with reform and Twitter reacts by banning Trump's account.

I'm sorry if this offends some Americans but what a repulsive hate-filled group of people. He's not a president.

I think this is going to be a pretty bad week for America one way or another and the blue touch paper starts tomorrow but who knows how and when it ends.

I just hope he doesn't doing anything stupid, on wait it's Trump lol. Really though I would have more respect for him if he did a 180 and does good before he leaves office.
