    At first, I thought this was just trump being trump, but it has become clear after 6 ½ weeks that he is genuinely afraid of leaving office.

    But what is he so afraid of?

    Sure, as a private citizen he’s vulnerable to state prosecution and lawsuits, but most are civil in nature, and even if he is criminally prosecuted (as much as I hate to admit) he won’t see the inside of a prison cell.

    So what is he afraid of? His legacy.

    He’ll go down in history as a one term President, within the next six months the unredacted Muller Report will be published and the next AG will write the narrative, Trump’s dealings with foreign leaders and dignitaries will be revealed, within a year almost every policy decision he made will be reversed, his vision of a wall between the US and Mexico will never be realized, His America first theme is now DOA, and it’s the Biden Administration that will see us through the remaining pandemic, the distribution of vaccine, and get credit for it’s ultimate end. Also, Melania Trump will never get to use the new white house tennis pavilion located on the south grounds...lol...

    Trump news – live: Flynn says president should use army to ‘rerun’ vote, as Pentagon ‘halts Biden briefings’

    Trump administration halts Biden transition briefings – follow live

    excerpt:

    "Former Donald Trump adviser Michael Flynn has urged the president to use the military to force an election "rerun" in the swing states he lost to Joe Biden in November.

    The former national security adviser said in an interview with Newsmax on Thursday that there is “no way" the US is going to be able to “move forward as a nation” unless Mr Biden’s win is overturned and suggested Mr Trump seized voting machines, the subject of numerous right-wing conspiracy theories."

    Supreme Court throws out challenge to Trump's plan to exclude undocumented immigrants from census count - CNNPolitics

    excerpt:

    "The three liberal justices dissented from the opinion.

    Justice Stephen Breyer, writing for Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan, criticized the court's decision to throw out the case based on the "uncertainty" on how Commerce Department officials would attempt to implement Trump's directive.

    Breyer wrote that the "question is ripe for resolution" and that the court should have reached the merits of the dispute and ruled against the President.

    "The plain meaning of the governing statutes, decades of historical practice, and uniform interpretations from all three branches of Government demonstrate that aliens without lawful status cannot be excluded from the decennial census solely on account of that status," Breyer wrote. "The Government's effort to remove them from the apportionment base is unlawful, and I believe this Court should say so."

    Steve Vladeck, CNN Supreme Court analyst and a law professor at the University of Texas, called Friday's decision "a bit of a mixed bag."

    "On one hand, the court has thrown out efforts by a number of different plaintiffs to prevent the Trump administration from excluding undocumented immigrants from next year's apportionment. On the other hand, part of why is because it isn't at all clear that the government is going to be able to implement its controversial policy before the Biden administration takes over on January 20," he told CNN."

    Trump’s Future: Tons of Cash and Plenty of Options for Spending It
    When President Trump departs the White House, he will have a huge pile of cash to fuel his future ambitions. He can hold rallies, hire staff and even lay groundwork for a potential 2024 run.

    Trump’s Future: Tons of Cash and Plenty of Options for Spending It

    excerpt:

    "Donald J. Trump will exit the White House as a private citizen next month perched atop a pile of campaign cash unheard-of for an outgoing president, and with few legal limits on how he can spend it.

    Deflated by a loss he has yet to acknowledge, Mr. Trump has cushioned the blow by coaxing huge sums of money from his loyal supporters — often under dubious pretenses — raising roughly $250 million since Election Day along with the national party.

    More than $60 million of that sum has gone to a new political action committee, according to people familiar with the matter, which Mr. Trump will control after he leaves office. Those funds, which far exceed what previous outgoing presidents had at their disposal, provide him with tremendous flexibility for his post-presidential ambitions: He could use the money to quell rebel factions within the party, reward loyalists, fund his travels and rallies, hire staff, pay legal bills and even lay the groundwork for a far-from-certain 2024 run."

    Trump raised about $280 million from small donors for the entire 2016 election campaign.

    He's raised nearly that amount since the 2020 election about six weeks ago.

    With this new ruling we can kick out all persons who are fond of the Confederate states just as we kick out illegal immigrants, huh? After all, if the are allied with the south against us Americans we don't have to let them vote. A good example is the jackasses who called for Texas to leave the union last week.

    Maybe if the covid deaths double next year, it's because this current president did nothing to stop it and let it run rampant while he sat on his hands and complained about who had the biggest inauguration crowd? It's like knocking a bottle over and instead of corking it straight away, you let it run out of the bottle then try to get the liquid back in afterwards...

    Donald Trump is getting seriously desperate. Today he twinkled and tweeted another baseless claim where he tells Chief Justice John Roberts had been one of the guys who had gone on a trip on Jefferey Epstein's air plane. Does anyone on here think that stupidity will help Trump in his next court case?

    I just looked at that case. You are misrepresenting the facts again or you just didn't understand what happened. The court said they cannot make a ruling because Trump failed to tell the court how many people he intended to exclude from being counted in this census. Also, they are not going to give Trump the ruling he wants before he leaves office next month. I think it is silly for the people who support the confederacy and distrust every agency of our government and complain about a none existent Deep State to be wanting to exclude immigrants. Mexicans just might make better citizens than confederate Qanon conspiracy theorists.

    Yeah, that's not going to help his chances.....lol..

    These people know it's almost over so they're just making up all kind of shit, like attorney Lin Wood who told his 800,000 Twitter followers that Chief Justice John Roberts said during a phone call in August that President Donald Trump is a “motherfucker” who could not be allowed to have another term....ha, ha, ha..

    I'm no big fan of Hillary Clinton but her 2016 description of trump supporters could not be more accurate; Deplorables

    Trump hasn't given a penny to the two Georgia Republicans! All the millions he raised he is keeping for himself?
