All the talk about Trump not being at the inauguration will be moot,

[Sogo]

if Pence is President by then (#46), and he is then there for the swearing in of Biden (#47).

1. Well, I can't see Pence stepping to 46 and I am good with Trump not

being at inauguration. Will just allow much more happiness without his mug there.

[Sogo]

2. You don't think Trump will resign and then have Pence pardon him?

nt.

[LizBeth]

4. No. It would be interesting to watch, but no.

[secondwind]

3. Who will pardon Donny, then?

[LizBeth]

5. Trump is cocky enough thinks he won't be punished and why should he think it will

happen when he never is. I don't know what is going to happen, but can't seem him stepping down and handing power off to Pence even to protect his ass.

[secondwind]

6. You may be right...

Donny is not going to relinquish the Presidency so easily. At least we have NYS Attorney General waiting with open arms for the bastard.

[moonscape]

7. I think he'll pardon himself, knowing

the SC has his back.

[Warpy]

8. I honestly think Dumdum will decamp for the Xmas holiday

and simply never return. He'll sulk down in Mar a Loco while trying to fend off his creditors and stall any legal action against his empire.

I can't see him taking any part at all in a transition team or even in packing up his makeup, long ties, and golf suits. He's just going to leave everything there for the Bidens to deal with because he's convinced he'll be back before they have chance to unpack their own suitcases.

Should I be proven wrong and he show up to see Biden sworn in, I will be looking very carefully to see just who is holding a gun to his head because that's the only way it's going to happen.

9. At maga laga...

He'll be selling state secrets and hiring more of his friends.

[Warpy]

10. Don't worry about the state secrets

because he is so utterly ignorant of how things work (and no one can tell him anything) that they will be badly garbled with the confabulation he does to fill in the gaps. In addition, most will expire when his pResidency does, the few that the intelligence agencies actually shared after his stunt of inviting Russian agents to an intelligence briefing. They knew what he was. Trust me, they were highly selective.

Also, he has no friends, malignant narcissists have temporary hostages. He can surround himself with as many thugs as he likes, but that's all they'll be. You see, our friends are our equals. Malignant narcissism doesn't admit to having any equals, only useful subordinates.

11. The MAGAts will be there to dusrupt it

You can be sure of that
