lol, you know what's interesting about that picture? I think that's Brigitte Macron and not Dr. Jill Biden but might be close enough LOL!

I just looked it up, he's 42 and she's 67! She's 2 years younger than Dr. Jill Biden. But it's interesting the age difference between her and Macron.

I know it is Brigitte Macron, but it was too good to pass up.

Is there any possibility of “Meray Aziz Hamwatnon” in US?
I am thinking Trump imposes a martial law and then pardons him self for next 50 years. Or should he pardon himself first and then commit the crime?

 

[Gomig-21]

If there ever is a reason for him to need a pardon and he can't give himself one or arrange for Pence to give him one, can anyone imagine if it's left to Joe Biden and he actually does give Trump a pardon? That would be something.

Here’s when the results of the 2020 election will be finalized


KEY POINTS

• While NBC News projects Joe Biden will defeat incumbent Donald Trump, the results of the presidential election won’t be finalized until January.
• States certify election results, the Electoral College casts electoral votes, and Congress counts electoral votes.
• Each state has its own timeline for certifying election results.

Where things stand in the Electoral College right now



In a controversial move, Trump has refused to concede the election and is mounting efforts to challenge ballot counts in multiple states, even as tabulation continues.
Here are the key steps in the Electoral College process between now and Inauguration Day:

States certify election results

Local election officials tabulate votes, including any mail ballots received after Election Day in states that allow them. After local results are verified by local election officials, the governor or other state official certifies the statewide results. The governor then prepares official documents with the state’s formalized election outcomes and slate of electors.
Each state has its own timeline for certifying election results. Here are key dates in swing states:

Arizona
Election officials have until Nov. 23 to finalize local results. The secretary of state certifies statewide results on Nov. 30.

Pennsylvania
By Nov. 10, local election officials must provide unofficial vote tallies to the secretary of the commonwealth. Nov. 23 is the last day for local officials to submit certified election results.
If there’s a difference of 0.5% or less between the winner and the loser, the secretary of the commonwealth must order a recount by Nov. 12. If at least three voters in each county allege errors or discrepancies in the count, a recount could also be triggered. Any recount must be completed by Nov. 24, and local election officials must submit certified recount results to the secretary of the commonwealth by Nov. 25.

Michigan
Local election officials must complete counting by Nov. 17 and send results to the secretary of state within 24 hours. Election officials meet Nov. 23 to certify election results. Any petitions for recount must be submitted by Nov. 25, or within 48 hours after the end of the certification meeting.

Wisconsin
County officials have until Nov. 17 to finalize local election tallies. Under Wisconsin law, an “aggrieved” candidate can request a recount if they received within 1% of the winner’s vote total. The loser can file a petition for a recount no later than 5 p.m. on the first business day after the state election commission has received final results from all counties. The Trump campaign has called for a recount in Wisconsin, where NBC News has Biden projected to win.
The Trump campaign would also have to pay the state for the cost of conducting the recount. It could total in the millions of dollars.
The Wisconsin Elections Commission must certify statewide results by Dec. 1.

Georgia
Local election officials must certify county results and send tallies to the secretary of state by Nov. 13. The secretary of state has until Nov. 20 to certify statewide results. The losing candidate is allowed to request a recount in Georgia if they lost an election by less than 0.5% of the total votes. That request can only be made to the secretary of state within two business days after the election results are certified.
Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger said Friday a recount is expected in the state, as Biden currently holds a narrow lead.

North Carolina
County election officials meet on Nov. 13 to finalize county tallies. The State Board of Elections meets on Nov. 24 to certify statewide results.

Dec. 8 — Last day for states to resolve election disputes
States must certify election outcomes at least six days before the Electoral College meets — known as the “safe harbor” deadline — if they want to avoid Congress getting involved in resolving potential disputes. That means any court challenges to state election results must be settled by Dec. 8, 2020.
If states certify election outcomes by this deadline, Congress must accept the results as valid.

Dec. 14 — Electors cast their ballots
Electors meet in their respective states to cast their ballots for president and vice president on the Monday after the second Wednesday in December.
In every state except Nebraska and Maine, electors vote on a “winner takes all” basis, meaning whichever candidate wins the state’s presidential race receives all of the state’s electoral votes.
Electors send certificates of their vote to various officials, including Vice President Mike Pence, serving as president of the Senate.

Dec. 23 — President of the Senate receives electoral vote certificates
Pence must receive the formal electoral vote certificates no later than nine days after electors meet.

Jan. 6 — Congress counts electoral votes
The House and Senate convene for a joint session on Jan. 6 to count electoral votes. Pence presides over the process as president of the Senate and announces the results. The candidate that receives at least 270 out of 538 electoral votes becomes the next president.
Any objections to the electoral votes must be submitted in writing and signed by at least one House and one Senate member. If an objection arises, the two chambers consider the objection separately.

Jan. 20 — Inauguration Day
The president-elect and vice president-elect are sworn into office and officially become the president and vice president of the United States on Inauguration Day. Source

If there ever is a reason for him to need a pardon and he can't give himself one or arrange for Pence to give him one, can anyone imagine if it's left to Joe Biden and he actually does give Trump a pardon? That would be something.

Biden has categorically stated that he will not pardon Trump or block investigations against him. But I’m sure Trump will do what no other president has done, he is going to pardon himself.

You know, because I despised the orange baboon (whom just FYI I actually met him back in the mid-90's funny story I'll tell it one day lol) but his bigotry against Muslims was obviously my biggest issue with him and then name your poison after that the list has long legs!!!! But throughout all that, I think I tried to dislike Melania just by default and I looked for every single other reason than her association and you know what? I could never find a reason to dislike her. Nothing she ever did or say came close to making me dislike her and actually quite the opposite.

The way she handled herself during john McCain's funeral was exceptional and actually quite first lady-like, especially with the pressure of the moment, all the other ex presidents and first ladies bringing the heavy vibin heat and how they view her probably simply as a trophy wife and that's it! But she handled that whole thing just beautifully and elegantly and very first lady like that I actually admire her quite a bit and feel sorry for her.

No need to feel sorry for her. She is actually a smart woman who knew what she was getting into when she married him as a transactional arrangement. Rumor has it that she will file for divorce as soon as Trump is no longer President.

Is there any possibility of “Meray Aziz Hamwatnon” in US?

Absolutely ZERO chance.

Well, what's going to be even more interesting that that is what the hell is gonna happen to the orangutan? He was banking so badly on this 2nd term to work out a lot of his personal issues with the law in the many forms in which they will come up in including the Deutche Bank loans of over $400 million that are due soon? All the possible indictments on him that couldn't be filed at the time of his presidency because of the "unwritten rule" of not indicting a sitting president might suddenly all show up like the Russia thing. That could certainly rear its ugly head again and so in other words, he has a whole slew of problems he could be facing and he knows it and his plan was to take care of all these things in his 2nd term but now he has about 2 months to do it.

So what does he do? Resign and let Pence become interim president who then can pardon him just like Nixon and Ford did? That might be his only option at this point! What a shebang that would be.

The End Is Here:

And how ironic is it that the final count is exactly the same as in 2016? Except he's the one with the 232 and not Hilary or Biden and I doubt Biden will spend the next year flaunting what a "landslide" victory it was like he did for even more than a year. Karma is a bitch.
