Once the police evict trump for trespassing, do you think he will try to
direct the government anyhow?
There are maybe 100 political apppointees working in the WH during the
day (plus some all night, right?) After Joe moves in, will the ones he
tells to leave actually do so? Will they stop to explain what they've
been doing to Biden's replacements.
Remember when Clinton's staff was falsely accuse of stealing the W's
from computer keyboards? Even if that had happened you can get 50 or
more keycaps from one spare keyboard to replace the W's on 50 keyboards.
This transition otoh may be a disaster if the pol. appointees are 1/10
as crazy or vindictive as trump.

He'll get a brief hearing in front of the AP court and then security officers from social media will bounce him.

will be loose many of them.
He might however, run off to Russia.
No matter what his crimes were he was 99% supported by the GOP until it
was obvious he lost.
Now , little by little they are turning on him.
The Democrats will not support Biden if he does anything wrong. As a
matter of fact, the criticism from within his own party has already started.
The only thing I find really laughable is that all the GOP who predicted
wrongly that Trump would win...are now (predicting) telling us all what
Biden will be doing.

It did happen and no you can't use 50 caps from one keyboard to
replace 50 "W"s unless you don't mind them not saying "W" on them.
There is only one "W" per keyboard.
The reality is the government had to buy a bunch of new PC keyboards
at IBM list price.
It was a silly prank but not without some cost.

“Heroic fantasy” is the name of a class of stories laid, not in the world as it is or was or will be, but as it ought to have been to make a good story. The tales collected under this name are adventure-fantasies, laid in imaginary prehistoric or medieval worlds, when (it’s fun to imagine) all men were mighty, all women were beautiful, all problems were simple, and all life was adventurous. In such a world, gleaming cities raise their shining spires against the stars; sorcerers cast sinister spells from subterranean lairs; baleful spirits stalk crumbling ruins; primeval monsters crash through jungle thickets; and the fate of kingdoms is balanced on the bloody blades of broadswords brandished by heroes of preternatural might and valor.==

because pops was VP and responsible for handling the US relationship with Ukraine.
The State Dept warned Biden's office, warned the OBama administration that this
was wrong, they did nothing. Biden, if he had any ethics at all, would have immediately
recused himself from anything more to do with Ukraine. But he did not. He even went
over there and strong armed the Ukranian govt into firing the prosecutor who had been
investigating Burisma. That sure stunk to high heavens, but the Democrats and Biden
to this day, right now, insist there was nothing wrong there, nothing at all. Just ask
Micky, for example.

The stink was related to the corrupt prosecutor who refused to investigate
Burisma. The air was cleared when Biden was sent over to lead a
multi-nation effort to get him fired. Rightfully so, of course.

It’s a shame that such a big country and we can’t come up with good leaders. I agree it’s time for a concession. Let’s just move on.
I am still cooking for Thanksgiving. I might be the only one here. Laura has to work. I am packing a couple of dinners for neighbors. They are single and usually come here. They can zoom that day and we can have a toast. i will deliver the meals on their front steps. It’s my favorite holiday. Non of that commercialism like at Christmas.
I an going to spend the time catching up on General Hospital. I heard there is going to be shake-ups at GH. It will be interesting to see who goes.
