I wish you well, as always, and hope you raise a glass tonight in honor of a better future.



-Laelth

[CaliforniaPeggy]

89. Ah, thank you, my dear Laelth! I will raise a glass on Thanksgiving in honor of a better future.

It's amazing. We are living through this unbelievably complex time, a time that the historians of the future will study!

[Laelth]

90. I am honored to have shared this time with you.

That’s all I can say.

That was gracefully stated, my dear Laelth...

[sunonmars]

7. The game is over now. Sounds like GOP has told Trump it's over

[Takket]

83. the courts told drumpf it is over. the GOP sat in its hands and made us all waste this precious time

[c-rational]

93. Actually I believe it was the Kremlin that told the Dumpster and reThugs it was over. On CNN,

the Kremlin (Putin) said in its statement it was time for the transition to begin. The host said this is not coming from the GOP but the Kremlin. Unfucking real.

8. Beat me to it. Manu Raju tweet containing her letter:

So Loser Trump had nothing to do with her delay in releasing the funds? I call bs.

[Laelth]

9. Emily Murphy shouldn't be able to get a job picking up dog poop

After this. 😡

[Stinky The Clown]

15. One of our dogs tends to eat it. I would hire her to brush his teeth.

I would. I'd even buy the doggie tooth brush.

[qanda]

20. 😂 😂 😂

Okay, that made me laugh.

[niyad]

86. I thought you loved your dogs?? Why would you subject them to such a person??

[mr_lebowski]

22. Actually that should be the 1 and only job she can get going forward (nt)

[Hermit-The-Prog]

35. Emily Murphy, DSC -- Dog Shit Czar

[Skraxx]

-Laelth

[MoonRiver]

[Cha]

12. WHOA.. I like That NEWS!! TY Rt!

[mr_lebowski]

13. "Formally beginning the transition is just procedural"

Signed, Jenna & Rudy

P.S. We still need money, lots of it!

[Laelth]

30. Procedural, my ass.

This is the end of Trump’s election challenge. Biden won!

Time for a celebratory drink.



-Laelth

[mr_lebowski]

38. Bottom's up, girlfriend!

[Laelth]

45. You too, Mr. Beautiful!

Cheers!



-Laelth

[NightWatcher]

14. IT'S FUCKING OVER!!!

[Laelth]

71. Yes. Yes, it is. Cheers! n/t

-Laelth

[wendyb-NC]

16. Finally.

[Laelth]

17. Excellent news!

That’s worthy of a sigh of relief ... and a drink.



-Laelth

[DURHAM D]

18. What will Trumpie do tonight.

Tweet, No Tweet.

[Laelth]

26. No tweet.

Lots of hamberders and KFC, but that’s it. The election is over.

-Laelth

[bdamomma]

50. Unless someone

else tweets for him, Stephen Miller???

[Laelth]

51. I doubt it.

This is probably the most miserable day in the entirety of his perpetually-miserable life. I suspect that he can’t even muster the energy to bully one of his sycophants to tweet for him.

What would he say?

-Laelth

[honest.abe]

24. Yes!!!!

[Initech]

27. GAME OVER!!!! SET AND MATCH!!!!

[Laelth]

74. Just so. Cheers! n/t

-Laelth

[nolabear]

28. What a great day! It's over. He can salt the earth but he

will never be anything but a LOSER. A pitiful, sociopathic, tin pot despot who yes, fooled some of the people, but no matter what comes WE VITED HIS SAD ASS OUT.

[honest.abe]

31. Indeed. I think we can finally celebrate for real.

[nolabear]

34. Amen and amen.

[bdamomma]

72. Cheers!!!

to all.

[lkinwi]

29. About fuc#ing time!

[The empressof all]

32. She couldn't testify without implicating herself

That's why she wanted her underling to go. She had conversation with Trump and knew she would be questioned about if she spoke to him or someone in the White House. She would have had to plead the 5th, perjure herself or admit to collusion. She had no choice but to give in and stop this fricken game.

[crickets]

37. Bingo. nt

[uponit7771]

97. +1

[Brother Mythos]

33. I'm still sick and tired of Party Over Country politics.

She should be fired, arrested, prosecuted, and left to trying to find a new high paying job with her felony conviction, after her blatantly partisan actions.

[crickets]

36. Emily Murphy's letter is defensive as hell.

In true trumpian fashion, she spends most of her time in the letter talking about herself and how hard the experience has been for her, as well as finding excuses to push away blame. Her protests that she received no pressure from the Executive Branch were unnecessary, letting all of us know that it's very likely that's exactly what happened. She has the nerve to close the letter with comments regarding Biden's requirements in receiving services and funds from GSA.

Good riddance when she's gone, and I hope she is never given a position of any authority or significance again. Wow.

[C_U_L8R]

39. What a whining screed

It's not about you, Murphy.

[liberaltrucker]

40. Dear Emily,

Thank you for your letter. You're fired.


Joe

[Laelth]

41. Perfect. n/t

-Laelth

[bdamomma]

42. okay

how many of DU'ers sent e mails, tweets and called. WE DID IT!!!!

Next will be January 5th.

[Locrian]

56. what I heard...

was that major wall street and gop donors said "enough is enough - you're harming the market" and trump caved.

[bdamomma]

78. of course

money is tRump's god.

[ecstatic]

43. Finally! Hallelujah! nt

[Roland99]

44. Yuge. Bigly news

[BigmanPigman]

49. The protests, emails and phone calls may have had some influence on

Murphy after all. I called and left a message and emailed her several times. People are pissed at her big time!

52. Do we know Donnie's response?

Obviously he will never concede. What sort of tweets are coming out of him? (I got booted off Twitter, but had blocked him anyway so I never saw anything he spewed.) Personally I hope he is stroking out even as I write.

[SergeStorms]

53. Finally.

The Biden administration can officially move toward ripping the reins of power from Trump's tiny hands.

[mvd]

54. Such a happy day politically!

I never felt overly worried, but now I can completely exhale. The nightmare is over!

[Laelth]

59. I know what you mean.

Cheers!



-Laelth

[mvd]

65. Thank you, Laelth

I’ve had a lot of stresses, and I feel one big one is finally removed.

[Laelth]

66. Indeed. This was a big one, but it's done. We won.

Cheers!



-Laelth

[cp]

55. Way past time, but whew!

Awfully defensive, rationalizing letter. Murphy = scum.

[orangecrush]

57. Loser surrendered!

[warmfeet]

60. That is fine and all.

Now, lock everyone complicit in this utter bullshit, in prison. Forever.

[royable]

61. Good news! However, will drumpf demand that government employees still can't talk to the Biden team?

or he'll fire them?

[paleotn]

62. Katie Porter's white board....

scared the shit out of her.

[mushroomhunter]

81. I was looking forward to K.P.'s queries

It would have been .....a morsel to savor...

[paleotn]

87. If I were testifying before Congresswoman Porter....

I would just crumble, admit guilt and throw myself on the mercy of the committee. She's wonderful, isn't she!

[orwell]

64. Let the party begin!

[Politicub]

67. Good grief. What a drama queen. All she needed to do was release the

resources. No one cares about her pity party.

[weissmam]

68. They got scared and Trump needs time to run away

[James48]

70. Signed after Michigan certified.

They can’t claim “unable to ascertain a winner” any more.

[Laelth]

73. That is undoubtedly what broke the camel's back.

Thank you, Michigan!



-Laelth

[sprinkleeninow]

77. "Bye Emily!" eom

[lobointexas]

80. It's about freaking time!

This should have happened immediately after the race was called on November 8th.

[Illumination]

82. HOORAY!!!!!!! My efforts paid off! So happy for Joe, Kamala & The Transition Team! Wonderful!

..... .....

[FelineOverlord]

84. GSA TELLS BIDEN: TRANSITION CAN FORMALLY BEGIN

[Jon King]

85. How these asshats always play victim....

Good lord that letter shows how evil she is....me, me, me. Her and her freaking family received threats because she delayed the transition by weeks costing us valuable time on the vaccine roll out that will kill more people.

So she literally has killed people vs a few angry people making empty threats? And she plays victim? Rot in hell lady.

[3catwoman3]

88. Some things bear repeating so, for the 4th iteration...

...in this thread- ABOUT FUCKING TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ailsagirl]

94. YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I feel as if I've been holding my breath for weeks!!!!!!! Now I can BREATHE!!!!!

[BobTheSubgenius]

96. I reacted to, and comment on, the part of the letter wherein she talks about rec'ing threats.

Not knowing anything about her, it seemed plausible that she was just a by-standing civil servant. I could have saved myself a lot of typing and a certain amount of stress by doing some research into Emily Murphy.

I apologize for wasting the time of anyone that read it.

[bdamomma]

98. did you notice in that letter

Ms. Emily said she was being threatened on line, by phone and by mail. Oh so when the GOP/tRump threatens people it's okay?? Which they have done multiple times. Especially all those Election officials they threatened.

What a bunch of hypocrites. Bastards all of them.
