It does seem like a tongue-in-cheek comment in that video but certainly doesn't excuse how tone deaf it was.

Pompeo is talking about a transition in January to Trump's second term. I guess they won't understand it until they are escorted off White House property in January

Unless he was joking and I missed it?

I guess I don't see the outrage.

Yes I want Trump out of office and I want him to disappear. But these guys are smart to continue saying what they say. Count all the votes. Ensure that no or little fraud was occuring.

It simply reinforces what we all know, that Biden has won and little to no fraud has occurred. It reinforces the election and re-instills faith in the system that has little faith in it from 4 years of insanity.

We shouldn't be upset these guys are all saying every vote should be counted, etc etc.

They are right. Impatience does nothing but breed distrust and anxiety.

it probably was just a stupid irresponsible joke, but then there's this too:

"We're ready," Pompeo continued. "The world is watching what's taking place. We're gonna count all the votes. When the process is complete, there'll be electors selected. There's a process. The Constitution lays it out pretty clearly."

given that Lindsey Graham has already openly talked about Pennsylvania state legislature picking electors over the will of the voters, I find that quote a bit troubling. Not sure if that stuff is even possible and I probably just read too much into this, but I would never put anything past these weasels.

It's not so much that I want to kill him, it's just I want him to not be alive anymore.

If this happened or the SC sided with Trump that is the end of America. Think The Purge except every single day. It will be anarchy. I think the majority of people in power realize this and it won't happen.

There is simply nothing playing in his favor at this point.

He would need the Pennsylvania result to somehow be proven to be a fraud, as that is the backbreaker over the other states in "question". And that margin is far too large for enough votes to be deemed illegal, somehow.

To have such smug confidence at this point is a complete denial of reality. I dont know how one's brain would have to be wired to not be able to admit that there are doubts.

Who knows, they've apparently convinced 70% of Republicans that the election was rigged:
Quote:
Following the news, 70 percent of Republicans now say they don’t believe the 2020 election was free and fair, a stark rise from the 35 percent of GOP voters who held similar beliefs before the election.
Quote:
The lack of trust in the election system has led to Republicans being more skeptical about the election results. Although only 18 percent of Republicans had said the results would be unreliable prior to Election Day, now 64 percent feel the same way following Biden’s victory.
https://www.politico.com/news/2020/1...ections-435488


If that number keeps going up and opinions get more fervent, then who knows what they'll do to get their way.

Its business as usual (or unusual) for the Trump administration.

Apparently they are doing things on the assumption they will be in power next spring like ordering agencies to continue their work on next year's budget items.

Republicans really having a tough week in all the most hilarious ways!

For those not on Twitter, you have Dean Browning here pretending he's a black Trump supporter. Evidently he forgot to switch to his other fake account. Whoops!

Just hastily rebuilding the DoD, definitely not angling for a coup.
