Graceful Transfer of Power

Post by Moksha »

I am hoping that America can experience a graceful transfer of power. It is my hope that Trump supporters can accept that Biden is not going to destroy America and that they can remain peaceful.

Remain calm. If you are prone to anxiety then keep your towel close to you. For the rest of us, it will be a return to normalcy. Your body will adapt to the decrease in adrenalin.

If there is one adjective that has never once entered my mind when thinking of Trump, it's "graceful."

But that's not the only adjective. There's also:

- intelligent
- competent
- strong
- mature
- tempered
- principled
- honest
- respectful
- encouraging
- friendly
- humane
- decent

OK... I could keep going, but I don't want to use up the entire forum database.

How this bunch of butthurt snowflakes is anyone’s political hero after 4 years of these sorts of tantrums is beyond comprehension, lol.
WILMINGTON, Del. (AP) — President Donald Trump is facing pressure to cooperate with President-elect Joe Biden’s team to ensure a smooth transfer of power when the new administration takes office in January.

The General Services Administration is tasked with formally recognizing Biden as president-elect, which begins the transition. But the agency’s Trump-appointed administrator, Emily Murphy, has not started the process and has given no guidance on when she will do so.

That lack of clarity is fueling questions about whether Trump, who has not publicly recognized Biden’s victory and has falsely claimed the election was stolen, will impede Democrats as they try to establish a government.

There is little precedent in the modern era of a president erecting such hurdles for his successor. The stakes are especially high this year because Biden will take office amid a raging pandemic, which will require a comprehensive government response.
...

The GSA’s leadership is supposed to act independently and in a nonpartisan manner, and at least some elements of the federal government already have begun implementing transition plans.

I guess Megan Kelly is tweeting up a storm in defense of the snowflakes.
You have zero understanding of the mood of 70 million Americans who have been unfairly attacked relentlessly for the past four years as awful people just for supporting their president.
This is the kind of thing that makes me doubt we can come together. "Unfairly attacked?" Go “F” yourself Megan. You're a damned moron if that's what you think.

When you start to complain that Obama was unfairly attacked, maybe you can claw back some credibility. Holy “F”, that woman's head is up her ass.

I can't get over this idea that the poor Trump voter has been unfairly persecuted for the last four years. It's unbelievable how damned dense this idea is. We have almost a quarter million Americans dead on Trump's watch, and they think we're being unfair to them?

I wonder if we're going to see Biden campaign T-shirts in fours years that say "Biden 2024 - Make the Trump babies cry again."

Unfairly attacked... holy “F” balls, the belligerent ignorance.

The way to have a peaceful transfer of power is to let Trump pursue his voter fraud claims and then when the republican voters for Trump see the result or lack thereof, they will act reasonably. I don't think there is a desire on the part of Trumpers to steal an election that they didn't win and they won't protest or riot if the verdict is clearly against them. If they aren't allowed their day in court, it might be a different reaction. Currently, they are saying that the democrats stole the election and they claim they have a lot of proof. Sydney Powell, one of Trump's lawyers lays it out here:

What if it turns out that Trump actually won? What will antifa do? Will democrats accept the result?

I think it's remarkable that Democrats and their pundits are spending so much time agonizing over how to reach out to Trump voters. The GOP has never given a damn about Democrat voters, are actually antagonistic toward them, and it turns out, it doesn't hurt them politically.

“F” the babies. Let them have their cry, but we should ignore it. We should have no appetite for entertaining their whining. They are belligerent and unreachable, so let them stew in their own misery. Worrying about them is a waste of energy.

And these are the folks who have been sporting shirts and banners for 4 years now, emblazoned with their slogan, ““F” your Feelings”.

After four years of watching Trump supporters defend him, I have a much better understanding how Joseph Smith was able to fool so many people.
