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…

as Trump is my witness, I thought turkeys could gather “in homes and places of worship” today
Because “freedom” means having the right to kill the grans at Thanksgiving x 1978 — WKRP in Cincinnati: The “turkey drop” episode. Forty live turkeys were dropped from a helicopter onto an unsuspecting Cincinnati shopping mall. “As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly.” Happy Thanksgiving, all.🌎🦃❤️ pic.twitter.com/cNswSKVQ5w— Rex Chapman🏇🏼 (@RexChapman) November 26, 2020…
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…
the Flynn Pardon and a “Rudy Special” today as Trump wants firing squad executions back
“Imputation of Guilt”, Flynn’s loss of a 5th Amendment exception could figure in the subsequent, yet unfulfilled prosecution of justice obstruction by the Mueller investigation. Abuse of power continues, as his pardoning spree further hardens his de facto concession. Trump personally benefits from pardoning Flynn, so the pardon is an abuse of power. Abusing power is when you use…
Giuliani tells Pennsylvania ‘I know crooks really well’ as Trump fails to show at Gettysburg
‘Your election is a sham’: Giuliani tells Pennsylvania ‘I know crooks really well’ x Rudy Giuliani is now speaking at the Wyndham hotel in Gettysburg — an event Trump planned to attend, but now will not. pic.twitter.com/YpylFi4A8O— Josh Wingrove (@josh_wingrove) November 25, 2020 Another failed PR stunt.

The lost cause has yet to be found as Trump goes to PA Wednesday in search of 2020 election fraud
There’s a meeting of Trump and GOP lawmakers in Gettysburg PA where they will discuss a fraud to which Rudy has yet to admit under oath in court. x Trump is expected to join his attorney Rudy Giuliani in Gettysburg, PA, Wednesday where GOP state lawmakers are holding a “hearing” on allegations of fraud in the…
the real Turkey during the Mike Flynn pardon saga could come from some other misdirection
Michael Flynn’s real time in the barrel goes back to the Mueller investigation with whatever Russian involvements Flynn had, as well as a variety of other deals like the Russian/Saudi nuclear “Marshall Plan” project, that will not relate to the lies to the FBI. The latter had Kushner and even Bannon involved. It’s not going to be about…
OANN loses its place on YouTube because of COVID-19 misinformation, not its disinformation
You’d think they’d be penalized for all that disinformation, but in regard to the Trump de-election campaign, that will continue. You take what you can get in the marginally deregulated media universe, whatever “more willing” means considering the size of the Trumpist audience. x YouTube suspends, demonetizes Trump’s favorite TV news network over COVID-19 misinformation https://t.co/nzsq2SeDBd— FutureShift…
A “kraken of biblical proportions” ain't happening as Trump hopes his turkey pardon spreads
Trump celebrated a month and 26 days of asshat amateurism left by having a one minute briefing and taking no questions at the White House, but claiming credit for the stock market record even as he had predicted a crash with a Biden victory. x The First Lady (right) at the White House tree ceremony, shown…
GOP's PA certification last stand: “bad faith, dilatory motive, prejudice, or futility”
There's a slight delay in the PA certification announcement if only because “This is not at all frivolous.” Now 1-36 in lawsuits, the Trump campaign tries to claim again on appeal of a technicality that every Pennsylvania postal ballot is illegal because “defective mail ballots”, that they should be thrown out to be replaced by a statistical…
Remember that Janet Yellen as Treasury secretary can address some of the Trump sweetheart deals
Former Fed Chair Janet Yellen will be nominated as Treasury Secretary. Remember that Trump though Mnuchin lifted some Russian sanctions during the Mueller investigation on one Russian oligarch in particular, affecting steel and aluminum tariffs. Then there was Mnuchin’s stonewalling during the impeachment. x https://t.co/drXVFNCBYs— Claudia Sahm GET MORE MONEY OUT (@Claudia_Sahm) November 23, 2020…
Winking and Nod: Tony Blinken may be the Biden Secretary of State
Nearly anyone would be better than the Dominionist nutlog, Mike Pompeo. Robert Wright (New Republic) and Connor Echols wrote an article last week grading Tony Blinken, the apparent choice by Joe Biden for Secretary of State. The combination with his former partner in a consultancy, Michelle Flournoy as Secretary of Defense, while conventional for Democrats, also…
rear-kicking coming: will @GSAEmily Murphy appear before Katie Porter's Congressional committee
The only stunt that saves Emily Murphy from historical ignominy is to sign something after this request and during the hearings that recognizes the Biden-Harris victory. The real question is whether Murphy responds to the request, or whether she will resist, and compel someone from some House committee to subpoena her with the usual consequences. …
a melting-down Trump looks for more excuses to poison the well, or drive off a cliff
Trump’s hope continues to be that he can somehow negate legal votes and substitute electors in at least three states. Trump’s “investigators” seem to be the same ones who went to Hawai’i to discover it wasn’t PBO’s birthplace. Loser Trump has not taken any questions since he lost the election two weeks ago. Likely he…
Mike Kelly (R-PA) files suit to stop PA from certifying postal ballots so the GOP can swap electors
Arguing against his own law, Rep. Mike Kelly throws another nuisance suit at the Federal court system. Act 77 legalizing mail-in voting was voted in by the GOP house and senate in PA. Because bait needs to be switched by one-party rule. Republican lawmakers, led by Rep. Mike Kelly, have filed suit asking a PA court…
Ivanka gets angry because Dad reduced his tax exposure
More of the same criminal behavior as Ivanka gets hit with a connection to Trump tax fraud. What else seems new. Darn nepotism. Then again her father did take a deduction for that Stormy Daniels payoff. The Times, which said the two investigations have subpoenaed the Trump Organization in recent weeks, follows publication of Donald Trump’s long-sought…
some Georgia Trumpists vow to destroy the GOP if Trump doesn't win. Like that's a bad thing?
RW logic at work: They’re so angry at GA Governor Kemp that they might urge a GOP voter boycott of the Senate Runoff in January or even write in Trump’s name. You go, nutters. Georgia has already certified the election results so their objective got a bit screwed up. There will be a counter-protest in Atlanta. x…
'The transition jokes will continue until morale improves', as Trump now invites PA to another stunt
Failing in Michigan, Trump seems to have moved on to Pennsylvania with the same stunt, meant largely to excite state-level resistance by RWNJs pressuring political institutions in the hope of faithless electors. Because the 12th Amendment seems one of the last ploys remaining to steal the election. x There are discussions currently underway with Trump…
“An incompetent coup, a clown coup, a ludicrous coup, a ridiculous coup – these are all still coups”
Counting coup involves winning prestige against an enemy rather than doing serious damage. We’re now way past that point. But the latest gesture in search of a coup is today’s Trump meeting with MI GOP legislative leadership. It’s a sedition stunt close to horseshoes and hand grenades. They have just issued a statement that they “will…
Trump's sedition is a serious matter – he wants one state legislature to be the first domino to fall
We’re not humoring Trump’s father Fred with a Potemkin executive desk to humor delusional derangement. It has always been deadly serious. Whatever his bluff, call it. Trump is leveraging some negotiated pardon that even includes the NY state charges. Flight from the country to evade prosecution could still be the only option. Trump’s vengeance is no different than…
