It is remarkable just how much this guy has got away with and continues to get away with. Any other President in history would have stood down following these tapes being released or been immediately impeached but this guy just ignores it and essentially nothing happens.

Efficient. No need for Death Panels when you have Death Ambulances.
As of Monday evening, there were 7,544 people hospitalized in Los Angeles due to Covid-19 and just 17 available adult ICU beds, according to county health data. Due to the shortage of beds, the county EMS said patients whose hearts have stopped, despite efforts of resuscitation, should no longer be transported to hospitals.

If there are no signs of breathing or a pulse, EMS will continue to perform resuscitation for at least 20 minutes, the EMS memo said. If the patient is stabilized after the period of resuscitation, the patient would then be transported to a hospital. If the patient is declared dead at the scene or if no pulse can be restored, paramedics will no longer transport the body to the hospital.
Not quite a death ambulance - probably just more efficient that if somebody is actually dead rather than an ambulance take them to the hospital then somebody else transport them for burial that the somebody else picks them straight up and the ambulance tries to save people who have pulses?

Things seem bad enough over there without the need to exaggerate?

I doubt EMS make those decisions. They likely will be in contact with ED who will probably make what would still be an educated guess about likelihood of revival based on few factors such as age, comorbidities, probably end tidal CO2.

I saw that report that an US plane was scheduled to go there on/about Jan 19th.
it’d be funny if every country banned him and pence.

So thats the plan... rather a letdown compared to 5d kraken chess
Without having read entire constitution I am pretty sure he does not have that power. Or rather, he does not have the power to determine if an elector is fraudulent or not. If a court decides so, then sure he can reject them.

Guys, I'm slightly out of the loop due to United doing well and me ignoring everything else.

What did Trump say or accuse Raffensperger of for Raffensperger to release that tape?
He, "shockingly", tweeted out a bunch of lies about the call itself.
During the call he also threatened them, mob boss style, with imprisonment if they did not help him.

Basically a classic case of CYA by the GA SoS.

TLDR;

The phone call with Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger on Saturday was the latest step in an unprecedented effort by a sitting president to press a state official to reverse the outcome of a free and fair election that he lost. The Republican president, who has refused to accept his loss to Democratic President-elect Biden, repeatedly argued that Raffensperger could change the certified results.

“I just want to find 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have. Because we won the state,” said Trump, who is scheduled to be at a rally in Georgia Monday evening.

He tweeted out some lies about the call, which is exactly what they were prepared for in recording it.

For me, after telling them they're wrong repeatedly and suggesting that maintaining their stance could cause them significant legal trouble, the best bit was :

"Fellas, I need 11,000 votes, give me a break!" :lol:

Stage three. :lol:

This is basically the stupid version of House of Cards. Same ruthless meanness and selfish scheming and overall the same spectacle (who would've predicted that when they started writing the US version!), just without any intelligence behind it.

To be honest, House of Cards was pretty stupid at times too, particularly the last season with Spacey (I never saw the actual last season). Starting to look like Veep though.

Yeah, it got progressively worse. I never watched the season without Spacey, but to me it lost its edge once he had become President - although the bit around election day when he tried to cheat his way into a second term was ok again.
