Vanity Fair: TRUMP PLANS TO BARRICADE HIMSELF IN THE OVAL OFFICE AND REFUSE TO COME OUT

Really Real


?s=20


Before you tell me let me be perfectly clear, I UNDERSTAND WHETHER HE CONCEDES OR NOT IT DOESN'T MATTER LEGALLY. I get it.

That's not the point here. The point here is that there is no bottom. Anything is possible. The madness is only BEGINNING. Prepare yourself for a siege.

without addressing. They keep doing it, bigger and worse.

They should have called it like they would any other Presidential race. Instead dragging it out and coddling Trump and his supporters are only creating a bigger and bigger mess. Supporters are going to use this drawn out time that was not necessary, that it was not decisive, and it was. And that they have a legitimate complaint because see how long it took, when it could have been called yesterday, easily.

Seal off the ventilation ducts, call the fumigator. Leave just one exit -- guarded.

And be prepared to check everything leaving the WH for stolen artifacts and silverware.

Then call ServPro for the biggest project ever.

And burn some sage.

of a fascist movement (MAGA). Trump was Führer, but I suspect for many, it was that attraction of fascism itself, more than the man, that was the deciding factor.

and fly somewhere without saying anything in advance.

After he safely is gone, he will make a public announcement and turn everything upside down.

I fully expect that in a couple of weeks he is going to head to Mar-a-Lago for "the holidays" and that will be the last time he steps foot in the White House. He will stay down there and not even attend the inauguration.

There is, of course, tradition for the sitting President to welcome the incoming President to the WH. I think Biden should set up a situation where Obama, Bush, Clinton, and Carter come to the WH to welcome him instead.

The demand for video will break the internet. Living in the White House does not make a President. We have many nice places for the Bidens to stay while they shut everything off and get the fugitive out of there. In which case he’ll be in handcuffs for basically creating a hostage standoff.
