How is it identity politics? Austin seems like a fantastic pick.

any appointment by the Democrats of someone from a non-dominant racial, gender, sexual, or ethnic group is cynical idpol, whereas when the GOP does it it's proof they're non-racists/sexists/whateverphobes who actually are super diverse

His skin color is probably part of the reason he was picked, but that’s fine in this case because he is a great pick

What makes you think that?

Apparently holding a rally during inauguration is in the cards for Trump as a way to remain defiant without getting frogwalked out of the White House. Though his ride would peace out halfway through, I imagine.

Under that plan, the report said, Trump would leave the White House on January 20 in Marine One, then take Air Force One to Florida, where he would address supporters at a rally timed to coincide with Biden's socially distanced inauguration outside the US Capitol.

Trump doubles down on false claim he ‘won two’ elections and calls US ‘third world country’

If he means it in that he managed to turn the US into a developing country with the pandemic out of control, then yes. I agree. Other than that, he can go screw himself.

If he's on Air Force One when Biden's sworn in, does he get thrown out with a parachute?

I wish but no. The Air Force One call sign is dropped and and SAM 29000/28000 is used instead

I imagine that any flight plan that keeps him in the air at noon or whatever the time is wouldn’t happen?

Probably they just take him wherever he’s going and then tell him he’s on his own finding a ride back.

Well, it's more Democrats than anything. Regardless, retired Gen. Lloyd Austin is a good pick and one I was hoping he would make.

https://www.cnn.com/2020/12/07/politics ... ium=social

That said, he, like Mattis, would require a waiver of the National Security Act of 1947, which requires a seven-year waiting period before retired military personnel can assume the role of secretary of defense. Let's see if Senator Kirsten Gillibrand opposes this waiver.

Now, what happens if the lame duck president refuses to concede and how likely is it we’ll see him being dragged out of the WH? Because I’d watch that.

No way they’ll take it. At that point if for some reason there was evidence (which we all know there isn’t) of election fraud, they would have to totally toss out any trust the public has in them.

Besides that, other than cases between the states, the Supreme Court doesn’t review evidence. That’s the purview of lower courts. If they had new evidence, scotus would remand to a lower court for further proceedings on the new evidence.
