Election integrity and the transfer of power

Now that is something I should have seen coming. He wants so badly to make his claims of voter fraud in 2016 come true.

Can we tell him we did find evidence, he was technically the President the entire time and so can’t be President now as that would be 3 terms?

[Blackhawk]

Are you nuts? Do you want him to eliminate term limits? Right now we at least stand a chance that he'll keel over before he gets around to that.

What's weird is that the Biden administration is attempting to reach out and peacefully transition to Trump. But NO, Trump is still so butthurt over his last election loss that even while the Democrats attempt to do the right thing he doesn't even want to acknowledge a peaceful transition and cooperate via normal election protocols. Like dude, get over it already!! It's just sad and ridiculous at this point. It feels like tactics used during a high-school courtyard, or a kid sulking and refusing to play ball.

Trump has called it a hostile takeover.

Trump has called it a hostile takeover.

He knows who his real shareholders are.

I don't know why he'd call it 'hostile' given there's not been any resistance, just due process. I guess it's a show of force to make him look strong, because he likes to project as a strong leader.

I just love that Giuliani is in the “find out” stage especially after this comment:

Asked if he regretted defaming Freeman and Moss, Giuliani said: "I do not regret it for a minute. I regret the persecution I have been put through."

He destroyed the lives of those two ladies. He deserves to be stripped of everything.

This is how you know these people have no idea what they've done or why they are being punished for it. It's mindboggling.

(not an actual quote) "Judge, this is totally inconvenient!"

No shit shirt, you fucking forking piece of garbage. I really hope he's calling drumpf every day and he never returns his calls.

How can people be so clueless as to the consequences of their actions? I mean, besides drumpf. Obviously. His consequences are the highest office in the land. Because we live in a cartoon dimension now. But more South Park than Looney Toons. The episode where Cartman makes Scott Tenorman eat chili made from his own parents. That one.

He destroyed the lives of those two ladies. He deserves to be stripped of everything.

Plus, he did it in furtherance of a conspiracy to thwart American democracy. He was trying to damage all of us.

It's because it makes it sound like a business deal. He's still hanging on to the "great businessman" myth.

Ahh, makes more sense when you put it that way. But to my ears, it sounds bullish. His use of language and actions make him sound overly hostile.

FBI didn’t deploy undercover agents on Jan. 6, watchdog report finds, undercutting conspiracy theories

[Unagi]

Do those theories even have the legs that would be required for undercutting?

[Max Peck]

I guess we'll see in a few weeks, once the new administration begins the witch hunt investigation into the investigations into the insurrectionists.

Rudy Giuliani is in contempt of court

Rudy Giuliani was found in contempt of court Monday for failing to properly respond to requests for information as he turned over assets to satisfy a $148 million defamation judgment granted to two Georgia election workers.

Judge Lewis J. Liman ruled after hearing Giuliani testify for a second day at a contempt hearing called after lawyers for the election workers said the former New York City mayor had failed to properly comply with requests for evidence over the last few months.

Liman said Giuliani “willfully violated a clear and unambiguous order of this court” when he “blew past” a Dec. 20 deadline to turn over evidence that would help the judge decide at a trial later this month whether Giuliani can keep a Palm Beach, Florida, condominium as his residence or must turn it over because it is deemed a vacation home.

As punishment for the contempt finding, the judge said he will decide at the trial whether some of the missing evidence would show that Giuliani continued doing business in New York rather than Florida after Jan. 1, 2024. That’s when the former mayor said he had established the Florida property as his permanent home.

Liman said he would withhold judgment on other possible sanctions.
...
Giuliani conceded that he sometimes did not turn over everything requested in the case because he believed what was being sought was overly broad, inappropriate or even a “trap” set by lawyers for the plaintiffs.

He also said he sometimes had trouble turning over information regarding his assets because of numerous criminal and civil court cases requiring him to produce factual information.

Giuliani, 80, said the demands made it “impossible to function in an official way” about 30% to 40% of the time.
