Trump said that Biden won
Then he said that he would not concede
Comments
There was a MAGA March yesterday. The WH Press Secretary lied saying a million people attended the March.
The crowd was no where close to one million people.
Hopefully this will motivate right thinking people in Georgia to vote for the Democratic Senate candidates.

Me, I have real difficulty imagining anyone in Georgia changing their vote for Senate based upon how big the turnout was for a march in DC supporting Trump.

Not changing the vote
Encouraging people to come out to vote on a cold January day.
by rmrd0000 on Sun, 11/15/2020 - 1:09pm
Sorry, still really can't see this as too motivational about an election two months down the road for a totally different office. I could envision some inspiration for Dem turnout, though, if Trump supporters had a huge well-attended violent rally on Jan. 1 with like rioting and looting.

And the Biden Harris Transition team are ignoring that.
I suspect they are ignoring that because they want supporters to do so too.

Josh Marshall begs to differ:
by artappraiser on Sun, 11/15/2020 - 1:34pm
Did Trump concede?
Is the transition going on?
by rmrd0000 on Sun, 11/15/2020 - 1:44pm
You are questioning that they are liars?
by artappraiser on Sun, 11/15/2020 - 2:17pm
Are you contending that Biden is receiving daily intelligence briefings?
by rmrd0000 on Sun, 11/15/2020 - 2:59pm
I guess I am contending that you have Trump derangement syndrome and Biden and Harris and his transition do not. And that Trump knows how to play fearful people like you like a fiddle.

Below you post John Bolton's comments about the national security risk
Here is Susan Rice
John Bolton
https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/week-transcript-11-15-20-adm-brett-giroir/story?id=74218239
You operate under the delusion that you are making sense. Cognitive dissonance is the only explanation for your posting John Bolton and then attacking my post. I understand that dagblog wants only a limited viewpoint, but the threat to national security is very clear.
by rmrd0000 on Sun, 11/15/2020 - 6:03pm
1) Bolton always had a high opinion of his own opinion.
2) in 2000 the counting and court cases didn't finish til what, early December? Were we in grave peril?
3) the main danger is on the Covid front, and T ump has that bolloxed up, and probably Biden doing most of what hed be able even with a normal transition approved.
by PeraclesPlease on Sun, 11/15/2020 - 6:44pm
Given COVID, cyber security issues, racial discord that has spilled into the streets, the sooner transition begins, the better.
Susan Rice expresses similar feelings.
by rmrd0000 on Sun, 11/15/2020 - 6:59pm
Bolton is worried about the Republican party's reputation as being able to handle acting like grownups on foreign policy. I'm not worried about their reputation. Especially on that front, (I am glad they are hurting it with people like Bill Kristol.)
And Biden doesn't seem to be worried about it either
Hello: Biden has only expressed worry about covid. The world is worried about covid. The world economy is worried about covid.
What does Trump administration have left to offer on covid? Not much!
The CDC is already acting like Biden is president. How much more hint do you need?
Susan Rice is talking about it because that's her specialty. Why not?
Biden is the president elect, he's trying to message everyone on what they should be focused on. Third thing: quit focusing on Trump, quit feeding the troll.. Second thing: we are transitioning whether they like it or not. First thing: covid, covid, covid,
by artappraiser on Sun, 11/15/2020 - 7:29pm
There are amultidude of departments that have to be coordinated
it, I got it, nothing to see here
People will just show up on January 20th and magic will happen
No foreign government would ever take advantage of disarray
You are naive

Josh Marshall followed by Chuck Todd, Ron Klain, Michael Beschloss before them,
Josh Marshall pointing out Asa Hutchinson:
just a couple examples; plenty more see it that way.
Why don't other people get that he is going to leave without a formal concession, that he is going to argue for the rest of his life that he won? LET IT GO. Really clueless to be expecting him to act like a decent person. Just let it go! Quit feeding the troll!

A bright spot, Mary Trump, the niece who wrote the book, convincingly states Trump will never run for president again. Primarily because this loss is so absolutely humiliating for him he would never put himself at risk for a repeat, and also due to his continued physical and psychological deterioration, not to mention his ongoing legal problems.
by NCD on Sun, 11/15/2020 - 6:54pm
I thought this all breathtakingly obvious. The GOP needs to find someone worse anyway - it's their Overton Window approach to each successive generation - just when you think it can't get any worse, it does.
by PeraclesPlease on Sun, 11/15/2020 - 6:59pm
Sounds reasonable
We need the transition to begin as soon as possible.
Trump left many departments in shambles.
by rmrd0000 on Sun, 11/15/2020 - 7:01pm
And then there is the part where he clings to life like a thing that clings.
To imagine he is still around for the next show is odd.
by moat on Sun, 11/15/2020 - 7:18pm
Biden just mentioned in his live press conference on question about transition that he gets all intel briefings anyway via Kamala as she is on the Senate intel committee.
by artappraiser on Mon, 11/16/2020 - 3:25pm
Did he mention that people may die from COVID if the transition is not handled properly?

Stop making excuses for Trump.
Exit to add:
Fauci says bad things "could" happen
Biden says bad things " may" happen, but it is all Ok because Harris has access.
by rmrd0000 on Mon, 11/16/2020 - 8:18pm
not worth dignifying with a response, it is all straw man again, plus despite your previous pleas to the contrary, you are making it personal, says right at the top of your comment AA, you are normalizing this? Anyone who has reading comprehension knows I have been doing exactly the opposite, i.e., what is going on is not normal.
That said I would like to point out that Fauci has already transitioned, saying this after not having anything to do with the White House for months.

by artappraiser on Tue, 11/17/2020 - 3:43pm
Isn't Lankford the guy who guaranteed he would step forward if Biden didn't get daily briefings by the end of last week?
Then he backtracked on a wingnut news outlet
You continue to normalize Trump's behavior.
by rmrd0000 on Tue, 11/17/2020 - 3:55pm
No it appears Kamala Harris is normalizing her fellow Senators behavior, as you seem to want desperately to frame this whole thing. I got no influence over her. Maybe you should start a movement on social media somewhere screaming "where's your outrage, Kamala!"?
by artappraiser on Tue, 11/17/2020 - 4:02pm
P.S. A humble suggestion: time to start getting used to how the Biden administration is going to approach things. They're gonna try to crank the partisan outrage meter way down and also ignore Trump as much as possible.

Trump loves you. Biden and Harris are going to be calm in public.
by rmrd0000 on Tue, 11/17/2020 - 4:12pm
Lankford did not have to make a statement about the transition
Lankford made a statement that was a lie
Lankford making a bald faced lie tells you that Biden will be able to reach across the aisle
You are trapped in a bubble.

In an unbridled act of aggression not seen since Representative Preston Brooks used a walking cane to attack Senator Charles Sumner Senator Graham attempted to punch senator Harris who was able to fend off the attack with her fist.
And you Arta are attempting to normalize this. Shame.

Now that I'm retired I thought I might get some part time work as a woke journalist. How am I doing?
by ocean-kat on Tue, 11/17/2020 - 4:57pm
Adhering a bit too close to the facts.
I once shoulder-surfed as a young gypsy (Roma) girl played Grand Theft Auto.
She was amazing, this total nonchalance as she one-finger drove herself along sidewalks, up stairs, wrong way down 1-way streets, through redlights, just a freeflow symphony of acts we'd consider "breaking the rules", following that muse that says, "Rules? What rules?"
I hope this little anecdote can be an inspiration towards your post-retirement efforts to pad the nest.
If you have to ask, you're doing it wrong. Think of it as Death Race 2000 (the original) -
if you don't hit the truth the first time, back up and run it over again.
by PeraclesPlease on Tue, 11/17/2020 - 5:17pm
I don't have a deep understanding of that market and what they like to read, but from what I do know I would guess you are more than ready! Spinning stories like a silk purse from a sow's ear--personally, I think you show talent to convince not only that their eyes are lying but also that denial is a river in egypt. And hey, if things don't work out weaving tales from one side of the aisle you can always switch to the other side. Just always keep in mind the motto of the new journalism market: where's the outrage? cause that's where the clicks are!
by artappraiser on Tue, 11/17/2020 - 6:28pm

As we hear nonsense and jokes. Republicans are making overt attempts to avert votes in largely black urban centers in multiple states. Being outraged is a good thing.
Tell some more jokes.
by rmrd0000 on Tue, 11/17/2020 - 7:52pm
You have suddenly changed what you are outraged about.
For the rest of this thread, you have been outraged about things about which both Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are strongly signaling it is not necessary to get outraged. I.E., wasted energy, not a priority, not that big of a deal that Trump will not concede, don't feed the crazy troll by being outraged about him, we can work with those who are humoring the unhinged troll..etc.
Basically what you have been doing on the rest of this thread is working counter to the wishes of the persons you claim you supported and their transition and messaging efforts. You were trying very hard to making them look stymied by Trump; they are not that stymied by Trump. And furthermore, it becomes even more clear today that they do not wish to be portrayed that way.
They want to look in control!!! Not like hapless victims of a clear nut case!!!
Edit to add: you know, if they can't handle this, maybe they are not ready for that 3am call either. They can handle this. As Joe has said many times: he has no doubt Trump will leave.
I don't think there is a law that says he has to concede, it's just a tradition we all appreciate. He just legally loses all powers on Jan. 20 and will be walked out if he won't leave.
And once again, the person to address about transition issues of any import is the head of the GSA, not Trump:
