A loser’s victory rally, what a message. In his Valdosta, Georgia speech on Saturday Trump will essentially repeat his 46 minute Facebook rant from Wednesday with a few local references and additional stupid ad libs. Save that hour for more productive activities that don’t involve super-spreading. They’re “not dumb in Georgia” but some there are willing to…

There were seven new Trump election lawsuits filed today. ‘Temporarily Suspend the Constitution’ and Impose Martial Law There was a great piece by Susan Rice in NYT yesterday about…

GOP Senators quiet about Trumpist demands for martial law as his first 2024 rally is on Saturday
Still waiting for those GOP senators who voted against impeachment to say something, something.

'acting-AG Giuliani'? says “(Barr's) opinion appears to be without any knowledge or investigation.”

no half-measures: a Georgia sweep is essential, because the GOP criming's going to continue
Trump seems to have spent so much time discrediting the election results in Georgia, that it’s affected the attempt to get Georgia Republicans to vote again in the January special election. There’s been more than one isolated Trump call to “overrule” elections officials with emergency powers. The play seems to be that if Trump can get even…
Prediction: Biden wins election tomorrow. Again. Trump raised $150 million in post-election grift
The grift continues as Trump blathers into irrelevance, even though he remains dangerous to many things including national security. The campaign has sent about 500 post-election fundraising pitches to donors, often with hyperbolic language about voter fraud and the like. President Trump’s political operation has raised more than $150 million since Election Day, using a…

new PA ruling makes it 1-39, but Trumpian innumeracy continues because they can't not be confused
Trumpists keep repeating wrong numbers, hoping that the reiteration will magically transform them into the official count. Wrong-O, but they’re continuing the legal maneuvering. This time a GOP legislator’s suit tries to invalidate a GOP-passed law in order to throw out Democratic votes and fails in the Pennsylvania Supreme Court. x 🚨BREAKING: We just notched another win for…
Trump declares Twitter a national security threat because it's more important than Iran for 53 days

“I only lost by 12,000 votes” because 7 million is a smaller number to Trump
Which is it, Don did you “win by a tremendous amount” or did you lose by “12,000 votes”. Trump at the kiddie table damages his brand again. Apparently he’s still whining about the election with no evidence for his claim that he won. Apparently he still harbors the belief that he can win the Electoral…
Happy Thanksgiving and stay safe with the turkey as well
To all my friends, this year has been a doozy but no matter how you spend Thanksgiving….Be safe. Don’t gather in large crowds or even small ones. Stick close to the homefront and if you prepare Turkey or Chicken, be sure to sanitize your work area. I hope you thawed your meat in the…
IMPOTUS* resoundingly lost his reelection and (still) claims he actually won. Exile could be next
Trump’s Gettysburg Address was not the Four Seasons Total Landscaping that one might expect, but he may have one eventually somewhere as an exiled POTUS*. Unlike all the Napoleons and French kings who went into exile, or the more recent Viktor Yanukovych of Ukraine, Donald J. Trump’s demand to be returned to power now or in 2024…
