(2,600 posts)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.

(32,017 posts)This is probably the most miserable day in the entirety of his perpetually-miserable life. I suspect that he cant even muster the energy to bully one of his sycophants to tweet for him.
What would he say?

(29,098 posts)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.

(25,990 posts)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.

(1,371 posts)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.

(1,910 posts)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.

(11,578 posts)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.

(63,960 posts)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.
