This guy's Twitter reads like a Democrat Alex Jones - I wouldn't put too much stock in what he's saying.

We can't forget, he tweeted this in the same set of tweets:

Obama press conference tomorrow will be the biggest event in American history... If he does what it's looking like. I'd watch.

BIGGEST. IN HISTORY.

 

[Bad_Boy]

At this point it will be old man yelling at cloud. No much he can do aside from dropping some cool lines.

Would still be better than his donald/obama transition display of "everything is fine" while the house is on fire.

Oh. Back to reality then

He's obviously going to confirm he is really a reptilian alien who's come to take over the planet, duh!

 

[BowieZ]

This thread reminds me of the Comey press conference.

"Gross negligence, but 🤷 ¯_(&#12484_/¯ "

 

[RumblingRosco]

I expect nothing substantial to occur, but I'll be watching anyway.

 

[Jintor]

I've adjusted my expectations and I am now expecting Obama maybe to skateboard off stage flipping America the bird

 

[TheCochese]

The important question though is who is this?

Carey Mulligan

 

[RustyNails]

Watch Obama say he's going to enact martial law. Then go on his hawaii vacation.

 

[Beartruck]

What the fuck does THIS mean?

It means King Obama has become a real thing?

Spoiler

Not that I have a problem with this.

 

[Oppo]

This guy's Twitter reads like a Democrat Alex Jones - I wouldn't put too much stock in what he's saying.

eh, he's more credible than that (very very low bar).

at people asking if he really thought it would delay the inauguration, he had this to say:

Doubtful. But you can probably watch POTUS hit trump hard on russia and give details. We'll see.

 

[mnz]

How does the rest of the world look at the possibility US election was influenced by Russia?

Europe is like "well, duh".

 

[Blader]

Lots of people here quoting Newsmax for some reason.

 

[Ollie Pooch]

Prediction : he'll quote hard evidence and put trump on the spot, call into question his suitability for the presidency and force him to respond online about the Russian links.

 

[ghst]

i don't think people announce a seismic presidential intervention of civil war proportions then go on holiday.

 

[Wilsongt]

Is it happening? Even if Obama makes the transition a living hell on Trump, I am cool with that. Fuck it Obama needs to be unleashed.

 

[The Jackdog]

everyone really needs to check their expectations.

its gonna be "russia def influenced the election, its byad mmk" and then trump will be president on december 19th.

 

[Oppo]

Prediction : he'll quote hard evidence and put trump on the spot, call into question his suitability for the presidency and force him to respond online about the Russian links.

Yeah.

The stunning Republican hypocrisy on Russia is ripe for calling out. These fuckers act like they've never seen an 80s Schwarzenegger movie.

i don't think people announce a seismic presidential intervention of civil war proportions then go on holiday.

again, as mentioned, he may not go on holiday. I don't get why people think that's sacrosanct or something. He's not Bush.

@RealDonaldTrump:
Embarassing conf. from the president! I will be a much better president than BO! (Which he has, by the way. real stinky guy)

 

[EstoyBlackWaldo]

Will this be available through the usual sites? Youtube, Cnn etc for stream?

 

[CoffeeJanitor]

Too late.

I suggest watching White House press conferences this week, & Trump's Twitter response. Smooth transition isn't happening.

David Yankovich ‏@DavidYankovich 2h2 hours ago
It seems that this entire week has been leading up to this. CIA leaks, WH getting more vocal, Trump not acknowledging Russian interference.

David Yankovich
‏@DavidYankovich
From what I am hearing, @POTUS has determined that orderly transition cannot be accomplished and is no longer priority due to Trump/Russia.

Could be something here.

GAF is going to need a better fake news filter. I get the impression he will mention it but nothing Earth shattering.

 

[DrunkShogun]

I've read the script. He's going to announce order 66 and announce the birth of the first galactic empire. Emperor Obama is now in charge.

 

[Arkeband]

Those Yankovich tweets are delusional. Don't be silly, GAF.

 

[Oppo]

Too late.

really think you guys are missing the forest for the trees here.

of course there won't be some miraculous last-minute election reversal. like, of course not. it's not really clever to point this out.

but Russian hacking and/or co-operation with the RNC taints and calls into serious question the entire Republican party. that is a big deal.

there won't be any stunning announcement I don't think, but this could be the beginning of a long-term disaster for the american right, as rules about state secrets and collusion with foreign actors kind of supercedes everything. After all the election is an internal affair, but if this is another country – a historic antagonist – directly fucking with the levers of power in the USA, that is an external threat, which outranks all internal politics.

Yep. And it'll mean fuck all and Trump will be elected. "Happy Holidays, fuck you 2016 and I'm going to Hawaii."

The question is, will the general public care? Will the people who voted for Trump care?

 

[arts&crafts]

Trump (By way of hacked election) is going to cause world war 3! Russia vs USA.

What a fucking weasel. Obama should just arrest him for treason and torture him until he admits to everything...which should take like 10 seconds

 

[Oppo]

The question is, will the general public care? Will the people who voted for Trump care?

if they cared about Hillary's internal emails, they had better fucking care about this (whatever "this" is)!

can't have it both ways. and it shouldn't matter. one thing I agree with on that Yankovich twitter for sure is his pinned tweet:

There is no Democrat/Republican side to the Russian influence in this election.

You are either a patriot or a traitor.

Choose wisely.

In any other year you'd swear that was written by a right winger.

I am Canadian so I have no dog in this fight but I agree with the CIA guy who basically said, if we know for sure the election was manipulated, how on earth can you trust the results?

 

[Spiritwalker]

Trump and the republican party will be arrested and charged with high treason. It's over.

The Dems hammered "Trump is a Russian puppet" stuff for the last couple months of the election, and the people (outside of California) still voted him in. Nobody is going to care about this.

Now, if there's evidence that the emails were actually forged by Russia with Trump's involvement, that's an explosive issue.

What I gather from talking to people is that they see the DNC emails and Podesta emails as akin to something like the Access Hollywood tape or Trump's leaked tax papers. Private info gets leaked all the time, and they don't really think the culprit is the scandal.

I don't think they would care, heck if President Trump went out and told the American people that America is turning to communism I the trump voters wouldn't care

No wonder Trump won! They got the date wrong. It's supposed to say November 7th.

 

[Spider from Mars]

"i like my pizza with pineapple".

That's my president

If those baby boomers were high off Reagans' trickle down, there is no way they would accept a rotten commie potato. But I guess communism is ok if they believe in god?

well no shit.
Would have been nice to see action prior to 5 weeks after the election
