LaMouffette's JournalThe House Oversight Committee should subpoena Emily Murphy to come testify immediately.
And if she ignores the subpoena, hold her in contempt of Congress and arrest her.
She needs to publicly explain her refusal to formally recognize President-Elect Joe Biden and release the funds needed to carry out the transition to the new administration.
I don't think her excuses would hold up very well against Katie Porter and her whiteboard.
Trump voters get absolutely rabid at the idea of welfare recipients getting paid for doing nothing,
just watching TV all day long, stuffing their faces with food they bought with SNAP money, and not doing any work at all.
"Those lazy, good-fer-nothin' sons-of-bitches! I work my ass off all day long, and they don't do nothin'!"
So how is it they tolerate this behavior from Trump? Doesn't it make them the tiniest bit angry that Trump does NO work whatsoever?
Carrots and sticks: Biden should announce $3,000/month checks during a two-month lockdown.
And if a governor refuses to enforce the lockdown and/or mask mandate, the residents in her/his state do not get the checks. Even Trump's literally die-hard followers would probably be open to the idea of a two-month paid vacation.
He has fired Esper. Can Trump fire the Joint Chiefs of Staff and replace them with his loyalists?
We have learned over the past four years that Trump will do ANYTHING in an attempt to get his way. He has some 70 days left in office, and I am getting a bit nervous, what with Esper's firing, and McConnell now seeming to back Trump's refusal to concede, and Martha McSally refusing to concede, and Bill Barr now saying he will start investigations into voter fraud, and the Trump supporters' Million "Maggot" March on Saturday.
Could he be trying to instigate an actual military coup? I don't want to be alarmist. I hope that other DU posters are right and that this is just to create chaos and keep his supporters roiled up so that they vote in the Georgia runoff. I am just looking for reassurance that this is not possible and we will be rid of that repulsive sack of pus on January 20, 2021.
There haven't been mass celebrations across the United States like this since Bin Laden was killed.
Think about THAT, Traitor Trump.
You who declared that thousands of Muslims in New Jersey were celebrating after 9/11.
So elated to see you lose!
Oh, my God! The BLOAT-US is speaking!
He's proclaiming again that he has already won and that there is fraudulent voting. Thankfully, MSNBC cut him off in mid-rant.
Hate . . . him . . . so . . . much!
Jesus, if you're listening, . . .
now would be a REALLY good time to show up and kick some ass.

A "den of thieves," indeed.
Like so many other DU posters today, I am feeling overwhelmingly depressed and disgusted that close to half of my countrymen and women have fallen under the spell of Donald J. Trump, the GOP (Greedy Old Pricks), and unbridled capitalism.
I believe people vote for the presidential candidate that reminds them most of themselves. If I'm right, oh my God, what that says about half the population of the US!
Trump is on a killing spree . . .
with his ass-cheeks-to-elbows super-spreader campaign rallies, and he truly doesn't care how many people he leaves dead in his wake, even if they happen to be his cult followers who, bizarrely, still love him.
If a number of people get food poisoning after eating at the same restaurant, the local health department has the authority to shut that restaurant down. WHY can't they shut down Trump's rallies when people are not wearing masks and not socially distancing?
Mark Meadows claims Trump was tested for Covid on Air Force One . . .
on his way to tonight's debate and that he tested negative. I heard this about a half hour ago on MSNBC.
Oh, really?! We should believe Mark Meadows? Are there any independent journalists and medical personnel who were on Air Force One today with Typhoid Trump who can attest to the fact that Trump was tested at all during his flight?
I know the Biden campaign is fully aware of the menace Trump could pose to Joe, but I still worry. They should demand to see the test results. Better yet, have Trump get a swab up the nose in front of everyone, right before the debate, and prove that he is testing negative.
And too bad if the person administering the test goes a little too far with the swab and accidentally scrambles what little brain matter exists beneath that thin, orange pelt on his head that he calls hair.
If Amy Coney Barrette is right and the Constitution should not be "updated," then . . .
I guess she would agree that all Amendments to the Constitution are unconstitutional and should be thrown out, including the 2nd Amendment (the right to keep and bear arms) and the 19th Amendment (the right of women to vote).
That seems to be what she's saying here:
Amy Coney Barrett on originalism: "That means that I interpret the Constitution as a law... I understand it to have the meaning that it had at the time people ratified it. That meaning doesn't change over time and it's not up to me to update it or infuse my policy views into it."
But when she says in this quote that she "interprets" the Constitution, wouldn't that suggest logically that its meaning is up to interpretation and that different people could interpret it in different ways?
If its meaning were all cut and dried, there would be no need for the Supreme Court at all. Everyone would understand exactly what it means. Wouldn't that be nice? No Supreme Court, no appellate courts, maybe even no lawyers!
Okay. I just gave myself a headache. Or added to the one I've had since 2016.
