Yeah, Gore should have been receiving the security briefings as the VP anyway. If anything, it would be the other way around and the Clinton administration would have been allowing Bush to receive the briefings even with the election in dispute.

Trump only cares about himself. I truly don't understand how his supporters are blind to that...

They aren’t. It’s all they understand.

Like minded people attract each other.

Some of them are blind, some are just stupid. And some, I assume, are just terrible people.

Why would Donald Trump just hand over classified national security documents to a communist who is trying to take your guns and freedom?

Spoiler!

Another Trump lawsuit bites the dust.

https://www.cnn.com/2020/11/13/polit...ion/index.html

Quote:
A Michigan state judge has rejected an attempt by two poll challengers to block the certification of a Joe Biden win in Detroit, which helped carry his victory in the state. The judge also denied the request for an audit of the election.

The case has been among a series of attempts by Republicans to delay President-elect Joe Biden's win in key states and hand an Electoral College victory to President Donald Trump, by blocking or overriding popular vote results.

"It would be an unprecedented exercise of judicial activism for this Court to stop the certification process of the Wayne County Board of Canvassers," wrote Chief Judge Timothy Kenny.
Quote:
Earlier this month, Judge Kenny also denied a request in a similar lawsuit to stop the certification of election results in Detroit, noting there was no evidence that oversight procedures had not been followed.

Is this a hail mary attempt to keep spamming the courts until they find a friendly judge or something?

All the major networks (except Fox) just called Georgia for Biden.

And let's be clear on the distinction when it comes to Trump's relationship with people: he cares about your validation, but he doesn't care about you.

Everything he ever went on about at his rallies (aside from throwing shade) were stories about what people said about him, how people praised him, and nothing more.

The whole gig's been some kind of popularity contest/vanity parade for him since day one.

Did he say anything for veteran's day, offer his thanks? Or did he just babble on about the election fraud from his white house crapper? Nah.. I suppose that would be a pre-election thing to do. All you need to know about Donald.

Not sure which ones I shake my head at more, the narcissists of the world, or the ones who feed the narcissists and make excuses for them.

That’s the number Trump got in 2016 when he declared it a crushing defeat for Clinton.

I believe that's called a landslide the likes of which have never been seen before.

makes it even more incredible that the world still has to deal with a delusional president that is emotional about his hurt feelings like a 5 year old, amidst a pandemic of all things. What a time to be alive.

He keeps claiming to run in 2024, so isn’t that conceding defeat?

Prett sure he hasn't done anything remotely presidential since election night. Dude is the POTUS and has barricaded himself in his room with his Twitter machine like a sulky teenager.

Again, almost any average person off the street could immediately step in and do a better job just by giving an iota of a #### about the title and the job.

According to Mary Trump, the running in 2024 idea was only floated by people close to him to soothe his ego. She doesn't think he'll actually run.

https://www.businessinsider.com/trum...-trump-2020-11

Quote:
Mary Trump on Thursday predicted that her uncle would not seek election for a third time, telling CNN that he "will never put himself in a position where he can lose like this again."

Asked whether she believed he would run again, as was widely reported, Mary Trump said:

"No. First of all, and I know he's said that he would and that's weird because that's conceding the loss now, but I think that was floated initially as a way to appease him and his ego, but he will never put himself in a position where he can lose like this again.

"Secondly, it would mean that for four years he is playing essentially a supporting role, which will be very difficult for him to sustain."

"And most importantly, in four years, he will be the same age Joe Biden is now. However, Donald is a very unhealthy person — he has a terrible diet, he doesn't exercise, he has psychological disorders that continue to go untreated, so I don't even imagine that he'll even be able to run in four years.

"Plus the fact, of course, he may be looking at serious charges being brought against him."

Pretty sure that was always the plan, win or lose.

The last 4 years don't count because of how occupied he and his team were with the Russia investigation, so it doesn't count. This is his first real term, and he can legally have his second term start in 2024.

Trump Logic.

Imagine as a grown adult having a swath of people around you working to soothe your ego when something doesn't go your way.

Truly the life of a hardened badass.

Oh goody, Trump is going to speak sometime in the next hour or two.

Let me guess: Not conceding, still thinks election is rigged, lots of evidence, just wait they will prove voter fraud in many disputed states, will not let Biden or his team start transition since they didn't win, since there was rigged impeachment he should have 3 terms, not 2, will run in 2024 either way. Also doing good with Covid, rounding the curve. And CNN is fake news. Fox also doing very badly, really becoming a left wing news channel.
