A crueler man than me might say that they have released the kraken...

 

[IdleRich]

This is possible I guess...



I think it more likely that she is having some kind of breakdown... I don't see what else makes sense.

Have you seen that the Trump campaign have issued a statement distancing themselves from Sidney Powell and saying she is not their lawyer? Too crazy for Trump!

Fabulous.

 

[WashYourHands]

It’s been an indescribable circus of monstrosities going round and round for 4 years. Enough. Send the bailiffs in with a few brutal digs to chubby boy’s guts on the way out, just to be polite.

Powell released a statement today which basically concludes "I'm on drugs, send me money".

In Wisconsin Trump's lawyer has created some weird idea of what constitutes a legal vote... but it transpired that by his definition his OWN vote would be illegal and thus thrown out. He is now refusing to answer questions on this topic.

 

[Mr. Tea]

He is now refusing to answer questions on this topic.

Well that's reasonable, I mean the crooked fake lie-beral media would just dishonestly twist his words by quoting what he said verbatim, I expect.

 

[IdleRich]

Oh shit....

Sidney Powell claims she has on "good authority" that Joe Biden will concede today and has already written his concession speech.

 

[IdleRich]

Michigan certifies... at fucking last!

General Motors drops support for Trump's climate rollback lawsuit in California, hundreds of top business leaders (including big Trump donors) sign a letter telling him it's over.

He's our Norma Desmond president, with Pennsylvania Avenue as his Sunset Boulevard.

Meanwhile at Apple HQ...

Apple lobbyists are trying to weaken a bill aimed at preventing forced labor in China, according to two congressional staffers familiar with the matter, highlighting the clash between its business imperatives and its official stance on human rights.

The Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act would require U.S. companies to guarantee they do not use imprisoned or coerced workers from the predominantly Muslim region of Xinjiang, where academic researchers estimate the Chinese government has placed more than 1 million people into internment camps. Apple is heavily dependent on Chinese manufacturing, and human rights reports have identified instances in which alleged forced Uighur labor has been used in Apple’s supply chain.

I can hear the tech bros now: "I'm all for human rights but hands off my new iPhone!"

Trump transition team is handing over reins to Biden, this thing seems to be about over.

@padraig (u.s.) and others—we had a bet. Was there any violence? Any real roadbumps beyond Trump's usual bluster? I can wait til January to collect, I'm a patient guy

 

[luka]

Padraig said there wouldn't be any violence

 

[luka]

So did I. I said Biden would win easy and the transition would be smooth.

 

[Mr. Tea]

Ha! Gus, you are FAKE NEWS.

 

[Leo]

Any real roadbumps beyond Trump's usual bluster?

nah, aside from his causing half the country lose faith in the electoral and democratic process, and making the US look like a banana republic to the rest of the world. no biggie.

I can hear the tech bros now: "I'm all for human rights but hands off my new iPhone!"

Post-humans don't need to worry about human rights... or perhaps I should say that post-humans are post human-rights and believe in post-human rights.
