First decent thing Trump's done in four years.

Do you suppose Trump will leave a letter for Biden, or is that another tradition he'll be breaking?

[Simon Wood]

Only if Trump has learned to write.

[Herlock Sholmes]

I'd say that a turd in a drawer of the Resolute desk is probably more Trump's level.

Nah, it'll be full of those little KFC wet wipes!

So I guess with 26 hours to go until Biden's inauguration, the only remaining question is if Trump is going for one last Hoorah, tilting at windmills at full throttle and watch the chaos unfold. Just in case, I have a big bag of Butterkist pop-corn in reserve (only £1 at Tesco, other reputable super-markets are of course available). Failing that, there is also the possibility that Sidney Powell will defend Trump in the Senate at which point, the Butterkist will DEFINITELY be put to good use....

Cheers.

Pop-corn?

I feel more inclined to crawl inside a bomb shelter for the next 72 hours.

[Svensson]

I assume I lack your proximity to tomorrow's events...

[Svensson]

ok, so he didn't do it. you can come out of your bunker

[Simon Wood]

But apparently he took the nuclear codes to Mar-A-Lago.

Biden's being given a new set.

[Svensson]

let's just hope they didn't forget to invalidate the old ones

Why would anyone think a president can fire a nuclear missile?

Each missile needs to be programmed to a specific target, which is done by computers at the military.
I always understood the president being given the nuclear case (with firing switches) to insure that no military officer can fire a missile without the president's approval. He needs to be involved, but the president can't fire anything from that case by himself, it needs to be coordinated with/by some officer in the military.
