Joe Biden is the president-elect. Biden won or has significant leads in states that represent 306 electoral votes — far more than the 270 needed to win. Biden leads by about 10,000 votes in Georgia and 17,000 votes in Arizona, the two most closely contested states. But even if Biden's lead were to somehow be reversed in both states, Biden would still win comfortably.
A grifter has to grift as evidenced by the fundraiser email and displayed the despairing state of affairs in the GOP. SMM emails are reminding of the sophomoric letter of the overspending college student to Daddy. Trump has done this all of his life. If the Deutsche Bank rumors are true and he is 400 million in debt he has big trouble with lenders on the horizon.
As for the lawsuits, next to grifting, lawsuits have been his strength of his fake businessman persona. Donny hears footsteps of Federal SDNY prosecution, ya think?
I just saw on Reddit a clip of Fox News pulling away from the cutest press secretary howling election fraud. Fox commentator actually saying unless she has proof they won't entertain it.
Damn those rats leaving the sinking ship.
Cato in ancient Rome concluded every speech he made with Carthage delano est. Carthage must be destroyed. My new conclusion to remarks everywhere:
Make those donations to the GA Senate races as our Republic depends on it.
While I am certainly happy that Joe Biden won the election last week, I am increasingly pessimistic that many Republican voters will ever accept the result. This has incredibly dire consequences for the future of the country, especially as a democracy. The thing is, no one should be surprised in the least by this. No one. Trump told us four years ago, when he was running against Hillary Clinton, that he would only respect the outcome of the election if he won, and for months now, he's been saying the same thing about this campaign. And, now he's completely politicized the Justice Department, so we have the weight of the government behind the "overturn the election" movement.
So, now we go to the courts, which conveniently are stocked with far right judges appointed by Trump and handpicked by Mitch McConnell. Not all of the cases will be dismissed and eventually, one or more of them will reach the Supreme Court which has three Justices who Trump has already said he expects to pay him back for putting them on the High Court. Add to them Sam Alito and Clarence Thomas, both of whom have never met a right-wing cause that they didn't want to champion (I'll give John Roberts the benefit of the doubt, since I believe that he still respects the high court as an institution), and boom, we have an overturning of the election result. That's a big reason why my happiness on Saturday was quite muted.
Ultimately, I'm convinced that Trump, his cheering section in the right wing media echo chamber (I'm looking at YOU, Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham, Mark Levin, Rush Limbaugh, etc., etc.) are going to get people killed, be they misguided supporters or innocent victims. I also seriously question whether the Democrats are ready for what is coming their way. This is more than just a deeply divided nation. Rather, this is a battle for whether we stay a democracy or not. Trump supporters have already indicated on what side of that battle they are. Ditto Fox News, OANN, and the utterly feckless Republican leadership, etc. Will the Democrats fight to prevent us from becoming, as Fareed Zakaria described it, an "illiberal democracy"? Are they even aware that this is what is at stake? The public pronouncements they have made suggest strongly that they are not, I fear. They are fighting the battles of 20 years ago, not the current high-tech battle for the soul of the nation.
I’m at the point where I would be glad to never again hear Trump’s voice, see Trump’s face, or read anything about him. He is a disgrace. The media should ignore him. He will be history after January 20th. He thrives on attention & chaos. Ignore him. Good riddance to bad rubbish.
I'm not convinced Trump won't try to run again. Even though he has lost this time around, Trumpism is alive and well in the United States. The Democrats would be wise not to overstate their victory here or underestimate the GOP in 2022 and 2024.
So the Rep are eating their own demanding Georgia SOS resign. Are they that stupid to think this will help them in the run-offs? I thought only Christians did this. Astounding
Do the Trump people define what "illegal" is in terms of votes? Is it anything they say it is? Postmarked after election day? Not signed? Not witnessed?

Thanks Judd, you rock.

The crazy is strong in the QOP. Also the need to defraud.
There is only one reason Trump will never concede: PRISON PRISON PRISON PRISON
My advice to Trump and his mob family:
Act with grace, during your many, many upcoming criminal trials, accept your life sentences, and remember when you're in prison: Don't drop the soap!

Judd, thanks for digging into the truth of the matter once again. It’s the first I’ve heard of this.
