kentuck's JournalDid Emily Murphy of the GSA have any part in Trump's purchase of the Old Post Office Bldg?
Now called the Trump International Hotel?
It was purchased thru the GSA and there have been questions about him adhering to the contract.
Does anyone know of any connections?
Last chance for Republicans
This is their last chance to break off their toxic relationship with Donald Trump. They are operating under the illusion that they can still win with Trump campaigning for them from the sidelines.
First of all, Trump does not campaign for Republicans, Trump campaigns for Trump. They should understand that by now.
Their best strategy is to take their wins up to this point and dump Trump. Eventually the Trump veneer will wear off. They will be left with nothing but the baggage.
What happens when he is indicted? Are they going to be character witnesses? He has used them just like he has used FOX News. They know in their hearts that there is no future with Donald Trump.
I can say this, because I know they will not listen.
Did you notice this?
In Donald's tweet this morning:
"He won because the Election was Rigged. NO VOTE WATCHERS OR OBSERVERS allowed, vote tabulated by a Radical Left privately owned company, Dominion, with a bad reputation & bum equipment that couldn’t even qualify for Texas (which I won by a lot!), the Fake & Silent Media, & more!"
Are we to assume Dominion was so bad that it couldn't even qualify for Texas? Does he realize what he is saying? Texas is worse than Dominion and he won by a lot? How did he do that if it wasn't rigged?
How did it count accurately for the House and Senate candidates but not for him, when they were on the same ballot?
What a card that Donald is! 
In my opinion, many Republicans are in a deep psychological trauma...
I was watching Lou Dobbs on another post and it was very obvious that he was having a difficult time accepting that Donald Trump lost the election.
Many Republicans are suffering the same psychological fate. They have been sucked into a psychic vortex in which there is no easy escape. They will need to be de-programmed, just like in a cult.
They are not capable at this time of accepting reality. They are living a life of illusion. If Trump lost, it was because there was fraud or it was rigged. Never mind that the Republican Senators and Congressmen that won their elections were on the same ballot.
I am not a medical Doctor but it seems to me that these people were so invested in the cult of personality that they are now deeply traumatized.
Just my opinion.
What would you do if you were in Joe Biden's shoes?
Would you take Trump to Court? For what reason?
Would you just continue to fill your Cabinet and ignore the "loser"?
Would you trust states like Georgia and Arizona to make the right decisions if pressured by the Trump campaign? (Of course, it would take more than those two states to change the electoral vote winner)
Would you just continue to act presidential and concentrate on the Covid-19?
What would you do different from what Biden is doing at the present time?
The Fascists Were Knocking At The Door
But the American people gathered on the ramparts, with their ballots, and managed to keep them at bay, at least temporarily.
The Fascists were on the verge of taking over the oldest democracy on Earth. With the help of Russia and right-wing media outlets, they were able to propagandize a large proportion of our people, who were inclined to distrust our government anyway. The circumstances looked very dire for a long while.
But the American people rose up. They voted. They were not ready to die without a fight.
The Fascists developed a cult of personality in the person of Donald Trump, and with a barrage of lies and propaganda, were able to divide this country unlike any time since the Civil War.
The people around the world were watching with as much anxiety as the majority of Americans. They were exuberant when Joe Biden was announced as the winner of the election.
But unfortunately, the cult and the propaganda were so strong that many of the Fascists supporters were unable to admit that the numbers and the facts were real. The Fascists could not have lost because they were called by God. Many Evangelicals said as much.
So, we are patiently waiting for them to exit the stage. The American people that stood up to the Fascists were heroes. They are ready to sieve thru the rubble and rebuild our country, which the cult supporters say is the greatest it has ever been. Reality has not yet penetrated their world.
How to win the rural voters?
Talk about beans and cornbread.
Talk about Ford pick-ups and country music.
Talk about hunting squirrels back in the mountains early in the morning.
Talk about 4-wheeling to check on their pot gardens. (They love their pot. Promise to get it legalized for them)
Talk about biscuits and gravy.
Don't say anything good about the "guv-ment"
It's a simple strategy.
Will Republicans in future races pay a price for their association with Donald Trump?
If Trump is not on the ballot, how well will they do?
My hunch is that we may get a preview with the run-off in Georgia in January.
Donald Trump brought out the worst in America. The racists, the white nationalists, the bullies, the misogynists, the xenophobic haters. There was nothing good about them. They can't admit it, but we can. They were anti-American. They were anti-democracy. They were anti-humanity.
With Trump not on the ballot, these people will have nothing to vote for. Some may hang with the Republican Party but most of them will drop out, in my opinion.
The Democrats will never forget what they have done to our country. We have seen their true nature.
Trump in 2024 ?
Just think of all the deals he will be able to make.
When he tells all the oligarchs and autocrats that he plans on being President again in 2024, they will get in line to make a deal. The odds are that Trump will make a lot of money under his pretense of running for president in 2024.

adjective: autocratic

taking no account of other people's wishes or opinions; domineering.
"an autocratic management style"
But there are a few Republicans in the Senate that are thinking of running for President themselves and they would rather not have to compete with Donald Trump. Many of them want a divorce but he won't let them leave. They have not yet mustered the courage to act on their own.
The criminality
We cannot overlook the criminality in the search for bipartisanship.
The pain, the anguish, the deaths that this regime has perpetrated on the American people must be held to account. The constant and immediate threat to our Constitution and our way of life must be addressed. We cannot overlook it.
They must be held accountable.
Even at this moment, as our national security is threatened, there is nothing but silence from the Republican Party.
We can never overlook the damage they have done to America.
