He doesn't get that choice
Biden will be inaugurated on January 21st, whether Trump concedes or not in the mean time makes no difference to that whatsoever.

Not quite; he has three options. First, he can hope for faithless electors swinging the college vote his way. Second, the choice of the electoral college has to be confirmed by Congress - this is normally a formality, but who knows? Finally, he could lead a military coup.
I'd say that all three are extremely unlikely but they are options

Electoral college vote tomorrow (monday) should finally see off the orange loser's deranged attempts to overturn the results of a democratically held election. Shame on the spineless Republican Party for not slapping him down earlydoors

Looking forward to Pence having to read out the electoral college results on Jan 6th.
It's going to be a bit awkward for him to formally announce that the cry baby god-emperor is a loser. Lol.
The Red Wave is coming!

It's great watching it on CNN, seeing Trump lose again!

Holy mackerel.
He's pardoning Russian asset Assange.
Putin will be pleased.

How can somebody be pardoned BEFORE being found guilty?
Assange is a hero, revealed so much corruption and wrongdoing. In a different time era people would have loved him but it seems these days people are too fond of the establishment to appreciate anyone showing what leading politicans etc are up to behind closed doors.
I don't disagree with that statement
But what is Trump's Motivation in pardoning him, given that his so called crimes are against the US Security , which Trump always maintains is his No1 Priority ? Especially since he is in a rush to Execute more people before January 20th
Well, what is Trumps motivation for doing anything really? I think a lot of people, especially Democrats, are going to be annoyed with this decision and thats probably all the motivation he needs.

Donald can do anything. Pre-emotive pardoning - why not.? Hasn’t he even considered pardoning himself?

shame Assange became corrupted himself, thought he bigger than wikileaks and screwed over those that put themselves at risk. he certainly no hero.
i cant see a pardon, it would piss off everyone and gain him a tiny little credibilty with a fringe group. reckon some on twitter pumping this (and Snowden) to goad Trump.

Lot of people saying Barr's resignation letter was drafted by Trump and signed by Barr. Makes you wonder what Trump did or was about to do that even the amoral Barr found it repugnant enough to resign. Maybe he was just getting out before the proverbial hits the fan
