GSA says Biden transition can begin
By Morgan Chalfant - 11/23/20 06:26 PM EST
The General Services Administration has informed President-elect Joe Biden and his team that the Trump administration is ready to begin the transition process.
GSA Administrator Emily Murphy sent a letter to Biden on Monday saying that Biden would have access to federal resources and services to facilitate a presidential transition, according to a copy obtained by The Hill.
Trump in two tweets wrote that he had asked Murphy to being the transition, though he did not concede his loss to Biden and said he would keep fighting.
I want to thank Emily Murphy at GSA for her steadfast dedication and loyalty to our Country. She has been harassed, threatened, and abused – and I do not want to see this happen to her, her family, or employees of GSA. Our case STRONGLY continues, we will keep up the good...

Thanks, you found that fast! Now, the transition people can come out of Biden's basement and get office space, actually talk to people now in those posts, etc...

Well, it's over folks.
Prayers up for ALL conservatives and our Republic. Truly a very dark and sad time for our country.

I believe this signals Trump believes he has no case and is giving up as a result of Michigan certifying its results today on a 3-1 vote. I find the concern he expressed for the Administrator of the GSA and for other GSA employees to be sincere and well-stated, and also a good face-saving move.
Not being a lawyer, I don't know what this concession-in-all-but-name will do to Trump's standing to continue any legal challenges. However I believe the actual election procedures in Pennsylvania were so flawed that they must be challenged in court, simply to establish a legal precedent against the same sorts of last-minute changes, state judiciary encroachment, and inconsistent ballot treatment in any other state in the future. I'd like to see Alito get his licks in for a court order that was apparently ignored.
Whether or not Trump and his legal team will continue when (I'm assuming) there is nothing left in it for Trump, but perhaps something in it for the future integrity of elections, will be telling. And although Michigan did certify today, I hope state-level Republican election officials will learn a lesson from this that they don't have to rubber-stamp the result of wee-hours visits from the vote fairy.

...fight, and I believe we will prevail! Nevertheless, in the best interest of our Country, I am recommending that Emily and her team do what needs to be done with regard to initial protocols, and have told my team to do the same.

I agree....there would be some consolation if we can keep the Senate but it looks out of reach..they are stealing at this very moment..

Agreed. Kudos to POTUS. It couldn’t have been easy for that woman to endure what she was going through.

@Right_in_Virginia please explain how you see a path forward ... the transition is underway.
I will NEVER give up on our Constitution, our Freedom and this Republic. I believe we need to find a way to move forward and emerge collectively as an overwhelming conservative opposition force. How we get to that point, I don't know. I don't know that it is even possible. The GOP as we know it has failed ... the ballot box isn't the answer anymore.

I'm not surprised. I think that Trump knows it is over. Time to focus on the GA Senate rate.

Why bother? The Rats just got away with the biggest electoral fraud in history, so I assume the Senate elections are rigged.

Sorry, but in reality Trump lost.

Hopefully everyone has their stockpile already; ammo is hard to come by right now.
I used to tell people to stock up on gold, guns, ammo, food and water ... now we have to include toilet paper and paper towels (trying to find a little humor).
We are set. Prepared as we can possibly be where we are at. Enjoying life as much as we can under the current circumstances.

Onward to Georgia you say, Didn't Sherman say that? :shrug:

I've been assured recently we can hare "Trumpism" without the hated "Trump." I LMAO, that's like an ice cream sundae without the ice cream (a concept that turned out to be too much of a reach).

Republicans are never going to win an election again. Get used to it .... and remember, Republicans are the ones demanding the President drop his fight against this voter fraud.
Imagine what the landscape would look like if Republicans rallied around the President's fight (and his voters) as a righteous cause --- and demanded the Democrats stand down until all legal avenues have been exhausted.
-

True, sadly. Some are giddy over Republican gains in the house. But if Trump fails there will be no elections worth a damn in the future.
Our only real choice then will be submit, or fight. I mean really fight.

Don't forget nasty letters. We can write really well constructed nasty letters.

Don't let "conservatives" off this hook.
No one in Washington these past four years should be eligible for the Republican nomination in 2024 --- No one who has run for the nomination previously should be eligible to run in 2024 --- not if the Party has victory as its goal.

I've been stating that the GOP wouldn't be winning another election because of changing demographics, fraud and corruption for quite some time.
Agreed .... had EVERY member of the GOP Senate and House stood by him things would be different.....McConnell long ago vowed he'd be a one term president and I don't think he ever changed his mind; along with others that vowed the same.
As for his staunch supporters and those that voted for him; they haven't lost faith in him, they've lost faith in the integrity of the electoral process.
There are hundreds of thousands that marched for him .... obviously they made no demands .... there are millions that voted for him .... millions that attended rallies .... no further action taken to rise up.... there's obviously a drastic difference between them and the bat crap crazies who would have torched this country to the ground had Trump won.
That's why I have said, the hell with the GOP and the ballot box. The millions that voted for Trump need to find a way to form a conservative opposition party ... I don't have all the answers or even if that is feasible, but first we must find someone to lead that movement.
-

Not only our populist movement goes, so does our two party system. The only seats the GOP will have are those they are allowed to have.
Maybe that suits the GOPE fine, I dunno.

Oh, believe you and me, they are just dandy with it. It just screws over the next generation of Republican grifters from getting on that first rung, but so what? Lookin' out for Number One.

Reasonable analysis. I have no insight to add to that except to say there is a strong probability that Trump plays the long game and stays engaged with his supporters. He’ll take a defeat if he has to, but with a plan to win in the end. Win what exactly?
I think Trump wants America back the way it was; much as you and I and most Americans do, before socialism and Marxists started agitating and showing their intention to seize control of government at any cost. But, if he finds that election corruption was too overwhelming and his presidency over, he will have his next challenge—his new project. Build a movement, an anti government corruption movement of Americans who want their republican democracy to live up to the words of the constitution. Whether he does that from the sidelines or as the 45th or 47th president of the United States, only the future can tell.

The first task at hand, purging the GOP of all RINOs, after the Georgia election, it's open season on all RINOs in the party, it's OUR PARTY, not theirs', they can go somewhere else.

There's another Avenue we can take @skeeter IF Trump says screw yall, I'm done with this GOP BS! and gets out of politics.
FIRST:
DITCH MITCH
Hijack a previous Conservative Party (https://andelino.files.wordpress.com/2012/12/cp20logo3.jpg) (similar to what Trump did in 2016 with the GOP) or start our OWN DAMN PARTY~Now is the TIME!!!!

Trump never would have run as a Republican had he not intended on ultimately taking it over. RINOs are all toast, they just don't know it yet.

Amen! Amen! Amen! That's exactly what I've been saying. We need leadership though ... someone savvy and smart enough to lead us.

Hell, the GOP would have forced Reince Prebus on even President Pataki, they were indeed 'ripe for the taking'. Trump casted a Big Shadow on the process.

Trump owns the GOP, by that I mean Trumps America First ideology owns the GOPs voters. Let Mitch start his own franchise.

Perhaps if enough of us write or e-mail a few Senators .... perhaps they may consider leading a new party. Can't hurt to make a suggestion to them.
IMHO the Constitution Party's platform has been compromised recently -- they cheapened their party brand to appeal to voters more to the left to get votes.
We need a completely new party.

Mike and I were just talking about this this afternoon..how very few Senators have stood behind Trump and helped him fight this battle of fraud..instead they are asking him to concede and let the Dems cheat to win. This is something I have never seen, at least on this scale...I have been praying and crying daily...praying for some miracle to happen..If I was Trump I would not go to the inauguration..why attend this and give them that satisfaction...I would head to Fla and play golf...F'k them all!

I think we could change the Platform of the Constitution Party, it just changed last year to their current bent. Addelson and Mercer and millions sick of the SOS could build this into a formidable machine and yes it needs Leadership~EARLY. We got a dry run in 2022 and full court press in 2024 we must start very soon.

I think Trump will lead the Resistance, keeping the MAGA Nation energized with rallies to promote up and coming candidates who will sweep the RINOs to the dustbin of history. The important thing is to keep up the energy and turn this into what happened for the Rats in 2018. Then it's our turn to Impeach, and this one will stick.

Saw a newscast during dinner while hubby had TV on -- indeed they are reporting him out golfing. Good!
I am sickened. I am disgusted. Yes .... he needs to raise his middle finger to all of them ... and go back to his life and enjoy the rest of his days with his family. He did his absolute best and put up with a lot of crap that he didn't deserve.
He can walk away with knowing that millions loved him and supported him ... no one else within the GOP or the DEM party can claim that and no other president in history has had such an ability to connect with the people.

Impeachment will never happen because the GOP will not have the majority in the Senate and the DEM majority won't take up impeachment.
It's over. The two-party system is dead; the GOP will quickly be dissolved. That's what people need to realize.

IMHO the two party system was just destroyed. Don't under estimate what's about to happen; I believe socialism will be implemented and our Constitution shredded -- the Bill of Rights thrown out the window.
That is why a new conservative opposition party has to be formed ... I don't know at this point if that is even possible.
-

Because the majority of them were truly never part of the GOP, they were only sitting under the GOP umbrella giving the illusion of a two party system.
Just my opinion here..

I hate to be the debbie downer here but that's why I think they'll steal both Senate seats in GA. Same machines, same people in charge, foregone conclusion.
I saw the excitement at Trump Ralleys, first hand, in my little Texas town, I was impressed with the enthusiasm of the younger (than me) folks, I believed there's no way Trump Loses and here we sit as the dems stole it from him and are about to steal two more in GA, whether he participates in their campaigns or not.

If they simply checked the mail-in ballots for validity as required by law, the GOP would win, even Trump would win. But the Secretary of State has overruled the law and bypassed signature, residency, and live heartbeat requirements. And it galls me to no end to see posters here willing to take it. Again.

What does GSA being allowed to preliminarily work with the Dems have to do with continuing to pursue our various cases on what will go down as the most corrupt election in American political history? We are moving full speed ahead. Will never concede to fake ballots & “Dominionâ€.
