In reply to Jake Tapper on Biden transition and Trump's refusal to concede

noticed over the last few days lots of prominent people seem to get comfort from watching McCain's concession speech, this version just showed up on my timeline because it was retweeted by NYTimes's longtime architecture critic, Michael Kimmelman, who I follow (I don't follow Isaacson, he probably does):

Was thinking about Richard III today, though more like directed by Harmony Korine, borrowing heavily from his flyover country inbred superretard classic "Gummo", though Im probably not accounting enough for that NY-FL with corridor Russky walk-on factor that someone wedged in.

"The Spectacle of Trump's Unsuccess"

‘“STOP THE COUNT!” he tweeted, miserably, as the votes continued to be tallied and his numbers started to slip, like ratings, while the competition’s rose.’

I would add that yes, there's been fraud, to ironically prove supposed fraud in the election, like the postal worker story, but this is by individual fans, it's not orchestrated. Do you really believe that a gang (many of whom are currently covid positive) that ends up holding their press conference challenging the election in front of a landscaping firm in Philly between a crematoria and a porn store really has dictatorial control and/or the smarts to orchestrate a coup? Isn't the firing of major role players who worked under him, many that he hired, more like the irrational temper tantrum of a child with an intent to leave a big mess behind? I see this only this conspiracy so far: leave a big mess behind so that one can rail about how incompetent the new administration is, and for a good long time (plenty of ratings there to be had ranting about how incompetent they are)

A legal eagle on point, Orion-we are not a banana republic yet:

In reply to Yes but, if Donnie Deutsch is

Another point to note: who's bashing MSM now? Not the libs and not Jay Rosen. They seem to be handling this story rather well, including Murdoch properties themselves bending some! The "fourth estate" is doing it's job. They don't have that in banana republics.

Yes but, if Donnie Deutsch is correct, it's not exactly the same. Because then it's that he really doesn't want to hang on to the actual power of the office, like most tinpot dictators do, rather, he just wants the "ratings" and attention that comes with it. So we just have to wait and see if the balance of power written into our system will be able to hustle him off to his new role, whatever that is, within the prescribed time without bloodshed, or not.

To note: Joe Biden seems pretty confident so far that it will work out that way.

And my guess about his new role after having some time to think on it: star courtroom defendant (buy stock in Don Abrams Productions? Ratings gonna soar with live Trump trials 24/7?)

This is the sort of nonsense

This is the sort of nonsense Latin America has felt with for some time. Who is the banana republic now?
