As Donnie continues suggesting no peaceful transition, know THIS

Just remember his term ends at noon on Jan 20, 2021. Donnie will NO LONGER BE PRESIDENT. He has literally built up a barrier around the WH, and he would be cornering himself. He can sit there, arms folded, mad-faced in the Oval Office. However, Biden/Harris would still be sworn in, whether trump is there for the ceremony or not. Then he could either vacate, or services/utilities may actually be shut off, depending on how far he wants to take his tantrum. For certain, all intel and security briefings would end for him. The Nuclear Football would be transferred. Any housekeeping/wait staff would leave the WH. His "administration" would cease to be paid or hold their positions. All trump would do by staying is prolong the embarassment and sad legacy of his time in office. The Secret Service is not going to follow any unlawful orders from him. If they or any other agents or military members do, they violate their oath. As government employees, loyalty is sworn to the Constitution. Anyone thinking otherwise had better wake their ass up.

Biden/Harris would simply begin to run the country from off-site until trump leaves the White House & pence is out of Observatory Circle.

You get the idea.


COUNTRY OVER PARTY.

PARDON TIME. Come and get your pardon. He will use the Courts up to the vote counting date.

I still think he has a coin flip probability of fixing this thing. What happens after is anybody's guess. The best solution is to run the score up now, and hopefully fix the system after he is gone (if it is possible).

I don't think he will fight leaving, but he might burn the sucker down.

Whether he likes it or not, the newly elected president will take his place. The voter spoke and there is nothing he can do to not comply.

I think that if he loses, he'll just just say "screw it, I'm outta here" and just pack up and leave.

We'll have to see what happens. But I'm not worried about him refusing to leave.

I think if he loses he will seek a pardon and leave, or put pence in charge and go golfing for the duration of term.

I have a feeling that he intends to demolish whatever else he can on the way out the door, unfortunately. Thankfully, there are plenty of career employees who have been paying attention to his activities, and will know exactly what needs to but repaired. You can also count on them placing any unlawful or questionable orders at the bottom of their 'IN' baskets. Golly, sometimes it takes a long time to get to certain tasks, ya'know?

Nov. 4th to Jan 20th will be the worst time.

My friend's brother was living with a barfly girlfriend. His sister was paying his rent. He died. Girlfriend didn't want to move as she was living for free. It takes forever for a landlord to evict. Sister came to me for help.

I told her since all possessions in the apartment belonged to her brother and he was dead, they were now hers. The TV, kitchenware, the bed, chest of drawers, furniture. I told her to call the Salvation Army for a big donation. Then call the utilities to end the contract. All that would be left for Girlfriend was carpet.

She got the hint and moved out quickly.

He doesn't have a choice about eviction. He will still have some SS protection, but they're going to follow orders.

Like others, I'm more concerned about his dastardly deeds between Nov. and Jan.

He always walks away from failure. He won’t have any support. The Repubs have got their hard-right SCOTUS they won’t fight to keep him in. The covid death toll is rising with no discernible end in sight. He’ll bail.

coerces Pence into a last minute pardon after using every Presidential lever to feather his nest and protest those around him he considers loyal (pardons of course and who knows what else). Remember he has full authority to declassify everything. Depending on how soundly he is rejected, he might just scorch Earth everything to put cash in his pocket.

He cares nothing for his legacy. He barely cares for his family. He sure doesn't care about the "people" or the institutions of government.

He might consider living out his life like Idi Amin as his best option.

He in no way wants to greet the Bidens to the WH. His admin may do damage to the WH offices before leaving but other than that, he will be long gone, probably to Russia or SA to be greeted with adoring crowds.

much of the historical art and other items were cycled out with less significant ones by the White House Historical Association and placed in storage.

I want him to suffer for his crimes and not escape to some country with no extradition laws.
