    Trump is reportedly meeting with Michael Flynn, Sidney Powell, asking about martial law idea

    President Trump held a heated, chaotic meeting in the Oval Office over several hours Friday night, and the senior White House officials present were alarmed that Trump was entertaining extreme ideas to overthrow an election he lost by more than seven million votes and 74 electoral votes, several sources told The New York Times, Axios, and CNN. Fringy lawyer Sidney Powell was there pushing her international conspiracy theory about voting machines, and recently pardoned former national security advisers Michael Flynn was also in attendance, the sources said.

    Two days before the meeting Flynn had suggested on Newsmax that Trump essentially declare martial law, sending the U.S. military into "swing states" to make them "rerun" the election. :rolleyes:  "At one point in the meeting on Friday, Mr. Trump asked about that idea," the Times reports. "It wasn't clear whether Trump endorsed the idea," CNN adds, "but others in the room forcefully pushed back and shot it down."

    Trump is reportedly seriously considering hiring Powell, pushed off his legal team a month ago, in some sort of special counsel–type role out of the White House, with top-level security clearance. White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, counsel Pat Cipollone, and others at the meeting forcefully pushed back against that idea and others, including Rudy Giuliani's plan to forcibly seize states' voting machines.

    "It's basically Sidney versus everybody," a source familiar with the meeting told Axios. "That is why voices were raised. There is literally not one motherf----r in the president's entire orbit — his staunchest group of supporters and allies — who doesn't think that Sidney Powell should be on that first rocket to Mars." Powell was seen leaving the residence side of the White House shortly before 9 p.m. Sunday night, CNN reports. The Times' Maggie Haberman adds that Powell was there "once again pitching an executive order on seizing voting machines," but didn't necessarily meet with Trump.

    When Trump is "retweeting threats of putting politicians in jail, and spends his time talking to conspiracy nuts who openly say declaring martial law is no big deal, it's impossible not to start getting anxious about how this ends," a senior administration official told Axios. "People who are concerned and nervous aren't the weak-kneed bureaucrats that we loathe," but rather "people who have endured arguably more insanity and mayhem than any administration officials in history."

    Trump has reportedly been convinced he actually won, tells advisers he may not vacate the White House

    President Trump was privately coming to terms with his loss to President-elect Joe Biden, but he "has now reversed and dug in deeper — not only spreading misinformation about the election, but ingesting it himself," CNN reports, "egged on by advisers like Rudy Giuliani and Jenna Ellis who are misleading Trump about the extent of voting irregularities and the prospects of a reversal." One adviser told CNN, "He's been fed so much misinformation that I think he actually thinks this thing was stolen from him."

    Even the Electoral College formalizing Biden's win "did not appear enough to shake Trump from his delusions of victory," CNN says, "but it is adding urgency to a push by several of his advisers to gently steer Trump toward reality." Discussions of Trump's post-presidency future tend to go nowhere because Trump "all but shuts down," CNN reports. "In his moments of deepest denial, Trump has told some advisers that he will refuse to leave the White House on Inauguration Day, only to be walked down from that ledge. The possibility has alarmed some aides, but few believe Trump will actually follow through."

    "To be perfectly clear about this, Trump 100 percent will leave the White House on Inauguration Day, if not well before," Jonathan Chait writes at New York. "Even the scholars who expressed the deepest fears of Trump's intentions to undermine the system did not put credence in the possibility he could defy the outcome by simply refusing to leave. Squatting is not one of the tools in his authoritarian tool kit." But the fact that Trump thinks that's even a viable option suggests he's "engaged in more than a scheme to grift his supporters," Chait says. He's "drinking his own poisoned Kool-Aid."

    If Trump does have to be forcibly removed from the White House, you can credit Bill Maher with the prediction.

    Brazil's Bolsonaro warns virus vaccine can turn people into 'crocodiles'

    What an idiot. Why do people elect this kind of asshole? Serious question ? I mean, what do they find in them ?

    The far-right leader has been sceptical of the coronavirus since it first emerged late last year, branding it "a little flu." 

    :rolleyes: 

    Any Brazilian here? Make sure you guys get rid of this cunt in the next election.

    But seriously, the virus is :nervous: 

    I had the American flu (aka H1N1 flu) and felt like dying for almost a month.

    NEVER wanna go through that ever again.

    I'm pretty sure COVID-19 is even worse.

    I can't believe some cunts still insist it's a hoax or no difference compare to the normal flu. :rolleyes:

    I was very lucky and really had only mild symptoms - fever, headache, body aches and a lot of fatigue. I lost maybe 70% of my sense of smell. It was just like a bad cold (not the worst I got in my life)

    After 4 days, fever, headache and body aches left me. 
    After 7-10 days, my sense of smell was back to normal, almost 100%

    But what stayed longer (and is still there) is the fatigue. I got it mid-september, and there is still some days where I have a lot of difficulties to get out of bed. I call these days, the Covid-days. Most of all I'd say I'm 80-85% back but I'm not 100%. For example, I used to run 3 to 6 miles, 2-3 times a week. I never went back since I was sick. 😞 I just don't have that kind of energy anymore. 

     

    My bf is a college teacher. He got it from one of his student, then bring it back home. 

    :shock: 

    I didn't know you got it.
