1. Hmmm, hope it means something.

[mackdaddy]

2. Maybe this state department page was not hacked??

[lagomorph777]

27. Also Pence:

[mackdaddy]

36. Looking more like a hack.

A few minutes of hope though.

[brooklynite]

35. How silly: EVERYONE knows that when the President resigns, it's first posted at the Agriculture Dept

[lindysalsagal]

3. Picking him up to move him to the wh?

Could be good news?

[Nevilledog]

18. Just read Pence and his previously banished CofS have been at WH since 2pm

[lindysalsagal]

29. Really?? Why??

[Nevilledog]

32. Afternoon tea?

[lindysalsagal]

39. OMG Ur killing me!!

[Vivienne235729]

58. Are you thinking Oolong or Twisted tea?

[Nevilledog]

59. Whatever masks the taste of the poison best

[Vivienne235729]

60. Hahahaha in that case, Lipton. Lipton tastes like crap. Any poison will work well.

[Hugin]

65. Will this be a Russian or British tea ceremony?

Because if it's British, it requires lace and Russian requires a nuclear reactor be present.

A Japanese tea requires a samurai sword. But, I doubt they'd pick that route.

Protocol PEOPLE! PROTOCOL!

[brooklynite]

37. Previously announce COVID task force meeting

[lindysalsagal]

41. Oh, damn. That's too bad. But why the helicopters?

[Wicked Blue]

4. Could this mean Nancy becomes President?

i hope i hope i hope i hope

[SCantiGOP]

25. POTUS and VP would both have to resign

Not a chance of that

[Raine]

40. Pence would become President. nt

[exboyfil]

5. It would be hilarious if Pompeo's staff incompetence

Led to letting the resignation cat out of the bag before a proper announcement.

That would be the cherry on top of this awful administration. Tasty cherry because the monster has no more power.

Sadly I think the State Department thing was a hack.

[Lunabell]

6. Probably a threat from a magat.

He's on their radar as the betrayer.

[central scrutinizer]

7. It's a Saigon, 1975 moment?

[lillypaddle]

8. Seems trump may have resigned

per State Dept. website.

No one is talking about it on MSNBC right now.

[lindysalsagal]

12. Nothing on cnn.

[haele]

9. Spec-op C&C or some sort of monitoring mission?

That looks rather like a VH-60. 'Course, I'm Navy, so that's what I'd recognize.

Haele

[VMA131Marine]

22. That is one of the VH-3Ds from HMX-1

If the President is on it it would be Marine One.

[IndyOp]

10. My heart is about to beat out of my chest. Anything unordinary could be good. Or bad. (n/t)

[Watchfoxheadexplodes]

11. Jim Acosta reported at top of hour pence seen going in WH

Hmm

[Renew Deal]

15. Getting the measurements for a bedset?

[NCjack]

19. Perhaps Trump resigned and then Pres.Pence refused to pardon him and said "fooled you, fooled you".

[avebury]

61. If we were lucky enough for Trump to resign I doubt that there

is any chance that Pence would consider pardoning him after what happened last Weds.

[lindysalsagal]

21. But frump and Pence broke up??

Maybe Pence is 25ing him afterall??

[Chemisse]

31. So if Pence is at the WH, why would the helicopters be seen over his house?

Maybe a threat against him and his family?

Or an uptick in security if he is incoming president tonight?

[soothsayer]

13. Let's hope it's nothing trivial

[The Blue Flower]

14. Watching CNN and MSNBC for confirmation of its resignation

20. That's a hack

Gotta be

[Renew Deal]

28. Probably is

[Chemisse]

33. Sadly, that really does seem the most logical explanation. n/t

[PatSeg]

53. Oh well

The speculation was fun while it lasted!

[Pobeka]

23. The time I see displayed is 19:44:12. Something is bogus.

[getagrip_already]

48. doesn't state normally use utc (greanwich)? n/t

[LeftInTX]

24. A disgruntled staffer did that

[VMA131Marine]

26. That is my thought too.

It will drive Trump nuts.

[central scrutinizer]

16. 4:00 Trump resigns

4:01 Pence resigns
4:02 Putin launches attack
4:03 Fox calls for impeachment of President Pelosi

[Pobeka]

17. Time makes no sense on the website 19:44 is 7 pm. It's only 3:22 pm there now.

[stillcool]

30. maybe he won't deplane till 7p.m.?

[DemoTex]

34. 19:44 was about 45 minutes ago in GMT (UTC) time ..

Last edited Mon Jan 11, 2021, 05:04 PM - Edit history (1)

EST +5hours = GMT

GMT => Greenwich Mean Time
UTC => Universal Coordinated Time

[Pobeka]

42. I wondered about GMT, but why wouldn't they post it as such? GMT is not understood by the public ..

.. at large.

[getagrip_already]

50. it's the state dept... they use utc usually.....

[lagomorph777]

38. 19:44 UTC is 2:44PM ET

[Pobeka]

44. And now it's 19:39:22

I think we have a little website hack at work.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

43. I hope Trump is GONE!

Pence is a religious nut, but I'd trust him in the last days far more than the narcissistic sociopath!

[KY_EnviroGuy]

45. Well, considering some of the MAGAts were wanting to hang him last Wednesday....

it could be some of them hung around town for a follow-up. More likely a precautionary response to phone or email threats.

Where I live, chopper flying around in circles means either they looking for criminals on the run or an escapee from a mental institution, or news choppers.

Just saw on a news source there are 10,000 national guard troops being shipped into D.C.

[superpatriotman]

46. Is it CUBA!1?!1

Pompeo said they sponSOr StatE Te1ror!!!11

[Budi]

47. It's probably a distraction set up by Pompeo and Trump has fled the country.

Hope he took the whole family.

[happybird]

49. No helicopter or jet action up here

by Mt. Weather. It’s pretty obvious when a VIP arrives. So I guess no one is getting the heck out of Dodge? Which is good.

[SoonerPride]

51. what

[vlyons]

52. Maybe Pence invoked the 25th

and they're moving Trump out of the WH, and swearing in Pence tonight?

[OnDoutside]

56. Or maybe Pence's refusal to rule out the 25th has forced Trump

to the negotiating table.

[Corgigal]

54. Mother may have had

enough of this shit. She wants out now, and she bringing the kids, dog and bunny.

NOW.

[Solly Mack]

55. Pence went to the WH. Situation is fluid. Could be anything, really.

They are all a pack of liars. So, we'll see.

[blaze]

57. A post in the twitterverse suggested

it may have been a response to the State Dept. hack.

[Solly Mack]

64. They'll tell us for sure or they won't.

I get the feeling these people would lie about what they had for lunch if you asked them. Swear they had a fruit salad even while pasta sauce stains their shirt, tie, and face.

[Vivienne235729]

62. Maybe trump had a heart attack? And per protocol, Pence was flown to a more secure position

I know. That was me dreamimg out loud....

[Vogon_Glory]

63. Could it be that Father Pence has fallen in with the

Deep State and is meeting with the ANTIFA bears at Camp David to throw the Donald out of office?

[Stinky The Clown]

66. That looks identical to me to one of the Marine One fleet
