from Pence. We still need to investigate, of course, and he'll still be subject to state charges, but he will not be charged in federal court.

Trump is a stupid, stupid man, but he will protect himself from federal prosecution through a pardon by Pence.

When? I don't know, but I expect it to be sometime in January, perhaps as little as a week before the inauguration.

Joe Biden is going to have a great deal on his plate on January 21. I hope everyone will cut him some slack so he can catch up and get started undoing Trumps evil doings.

I won't be demanding anything. I will be so relieved to have Biden in the White House that I'm going to take a long breather. Those who attack him from the very beginning are foolish, foolish people.

Not true. Turin_C3PO Nov 2020 #13

Ah, thanks. Forgot. ancianita Nov 2020 #21

What do you mean by 78% and 22%? I'm looking at 51% and 47%. lagomorph777 Nov 2020 #7

those claims made my head spin too, like where did those numbers come from? beachbumbob Nov 2020 #9

Probably including Turin_C3PO Nov 2020 #10

Yes, it does. ancianita Nov 2020 #12

They come from the 79,921,082 Democrats who are 51.0% of the total votes, and because of that, ancianita Nov 2020 #19

Okay. My frame is the general population of America and not just the electorate. ancianita Nov 2020 #11

you are way too optimistic on the orientation of the non-voting American public beachbumbob Nov 2020 #16

Nope, you're way too pessimistic, stuck in the doubt zone. Count new voters. ancianita Nov 2020 #17

I am realist, otherwise how do explain the sweeping losses of democrats in senate and beachbumbob Nov 2020 #22

Me, too. What you call realism, I add a pessimistic optimism to. ancianita Nov 2020 #26
