    Typical libras throwing out insults. Why a lame duck? because he walks and stands funny? Huh?

    Interesting take I heard yesterday:

    Assuming both GA senate seats go to a runoff, that means in January the Senate is up for grabs. (dems have to win both to reach 50, I think.)

    That means messaging and GOTV will still be a HUGE deal in GA for the next two months. Nothing is more important to either side than controlling the senate; the ramifications are huge either way.

    If Trump decides he's been betrayed by republicans, particularly republicans in GA if he loses there, what is he going to say about them?

    He is transactional- if he says he'll throw his support behind the senate candidates for a price, what is his price?

    One of the most cathartic moments would be Mitch and the GOP senate ditching Trump and not going behind his "fraudulent election" narrative and then Trump biting Mitch in the ass on his way out by saying a lot of stupid **** that would hurt the GOP in the runoff elections.

    That scenario would be so ****ing cathartic.

    That presupposes that Pence will play along now that Trump has nothing of value to offer him.

    ive been thinking about this all and with the flimsy nature of our courts doing anything to rich people and trump being ex president I think trump will possibly openly flaunt law stay in florida off and on and travel world getting his money pay off from saudi and similar. lots of people owe him.

    i guess my point is he doesnt need to take off in exile and shame and has enough warning and insulation and time that he can chill in florida in plain sight.

    the resign and pardon might happen still but im starting to lean towards trump staying put and stringing along courts here in open.

    i used to think russia or uae but that is more an option next year or later when things are getting hot.
    no way he gets arrested on jan 21 no way..
    so why run?
    im moving my prediction to uae and russia as "visitor" and in supposed passing but just as much florida with ears on ground ready to bounce if needed. likely with saudi and russia jet side by side waiting for him to say the word.

    his plan is to stall it like he does then bounce at last second..that is still far way past lame duck possibly
