Trump

Tweeting unsubstantiated anecdote/conspiracy/edited videos with no context approximately every 20 minutes now. From "US Army raids voting machine factory in Germany and finds thousands of uncounted ballots" to generic videos of randos opening piles of boxes with "mail ballots" written in sharpie on the side. Ah. Good old sharpie.

[Sandydragon]

There must be some sensible republicans out there, just trying to hide under the desk whilst this plays out. Trump obviously doesn't give a shit about the party; this is all about his next venture. I was wondering earlier if someone might try to pronounce him mentally unfit for office and remove him before the handover.

[Digby]

Sharpies eh, does that mean a hurricane is coming?

However, as we have learned from earlier conspiracy ramblings, sharpie means that ballots aren't valid anyway, so they don't matter.

Jesus christ. What a clown show.

Rudy's face? Sad clown as opposed to just SAD

[paddy no 11]

Rudy is the gift that keeps on giving at this stage

Wouldn't you love to be counting a redundant election in wisconsin this week where 1 in 118 people have the virus, with some replublican anti masker looking over your shoulder

Surely the place of counting can set the rules for entry and say no entry without proper use of masks?

But then again, he probably has an assault rifle, too...

America is so fucked up.

I do not see how it is possible that this won't end with assassination attempts. There are incredibly stupid and angry people out there, who have been fed a lifetime of lone-wolf, hero with a gun, meting out justice films, and are now being continually told that their president won in a landslide and it's being stolen by corrupt officials and politicians who are selling Jesus and America down the river, who can access rifles with the greatest of ease.

I don't know they'll be able to get to either Biden or Harris, but I'm surprised every day when there's not another attack on Whitmer and there's a lot of people who are much less protected and might now be deemed "Enemies of America".

The conspiracies are getting ambitiously grand in scale:

“What we are really dealing with here and uncovering more by the day is the massive influence of communist money through Venezuela, Cuba and likely China in the interference with our elections here in the United States”

"The company counting our vote, with control over our vote, is owned by two Venezuelans who were allies of Chávez, are present allies of Maduro, with a company whose chairman is a close associate and business partner of George Soros, the biggest donor to the Democratic Party, the biggest donor to Antifa and the biggest donor to Black Lives Matter"; Guiliani and Sidney Powell

Interesting take on BLM.

[Digby]

It seems like some time back Trump was told he should take foreign interference seriously, and that unlike 2016 it might not help him, and he decided to go golf instead

[Which Tyler]

It's jus another example of Trump accusing his opponents of doing exactly what he's done.

We're well past the point of assuming his accusations are inadvertent admissions

[Digby]

I can't show you my taxes because they're under audit

We can't show you the election result because it's under audit.

In both cases it's best just to carry on as now, and please, be respectful of the flag and don't ask questions during this difficult time.

[morepork]

Excuse me as I wipe my kok on the flag after bending you over and fucking you on the dirty brown road to freedom.

Has he come out yet ?

This.

Those electoral officials don’t have Secret Service protection.

[Sandydragon]

So, will state governors ignore the popular vote and provide electors who are prepared to vote for Trump? It seems like a massive long shot and, assuming the governors aren’t insane, it’s just not possible to argue that the intentions of the voters are unclear.

It’s about time someone discovered some moral fibre and just told Trump that he lost and should focus on reducing his handicap for the next two months.

Evolution of the Tea Party Mark V:

https://www.thedailybeast.com/roger-sto ... e-majority

The Committee for American Sovereignty is the name of a political group that, along with a sister nonprofit group, was set up in 2016 as a vehicle for prominent pro-Trump operatives—most notably Stone and former Blackwater chief Erik Prince—to attempt to suppress the Black vote by amplifying claims that Bill Clinton had an illegitimate biracial son. It’s been mostly quiet since then. The PAC’s recent filings with the Federal Election Commission disclose nothing but outstanding federal and state tax liabilities, and its new effort in Georgia doesn’t appear to have received much pickup yet.

“If we can do this, we have a real chance at getting these RINO senators to act on the illegitimate and corrupt election presided over by a Democrat party that is invested in the Communist takeover of Our Great Nation,” the group wrote on its new website, writeintrumpforgeorgiasenate.com. “We will not stop fighting for you, the American Patriot, against the evils of Socialism and inferior Religions.”


Socialism and inferior religions. That is right on the cusp of full Klan.

How do you like them pardons?

How do you like them pardons?

If the pardon is accepted then it's classified as an admission of guilt.
Which means he no longer gets to plead the 5th
Which means he could (potentially) be forced to testify in court / congress.

N.b.: they offered me waffles with the above toppings. I asked for rib eye stake and smashed potatoes instead.

You should have asked for a carafe of Trump House Whine. Will someone not shut him up?
