“Why wouldn’t they overturn an election?” he seethed, referring to the judges who’ve rejected his campaign’s attempts. Trump added later: “We have to turn the election over, because there’s no doubt we have all the evidence, we have all the affidavits, we have everything. All we need is to have some judge listen to it properly.”

Does he believe any of this?

Or is he just saying it to make headway, regardless of its truth value?

And, by “some judge” does he mean Gorsuch, Kavanagh, or Barrett?

“How do you know the U.S. election in 2020 was corrupt?”
“Well, someone told me the Venezuela election in 2008 was corrupt.”

That will go into the encyclopedia as an example of a non-sequitur.

Trump and the trumpers did get tired of winning but show no sign they will get tired of losing.

“Listen properly”=Be willing to accept any load of bullshit as an excuse to overturn an election and thus destroy democracy.

This would be a failed parody if so many people weren’t receiving this as gospel truth. Logic be damned, SOMETHING happened, because how else could their adored leader lose?

Hey Ms. Ellis. The speakers are at the bottom of the phone, not in the middle of the screen.

I guess that’s too technical for you, though. Nevermind.

Once we had a country that could defeat German and Italian fascism and Japanese imperialism.

Now we have a country that is terrified of a Venezuelan guy named Hugo Chavez who’s been dead for seven years and of a 90-year-old Hungarian-born currency-exchange whiz who lives in Westchester County.

The only way we’re going to be rid of this piece of shit is when his old age, obesity, lack of exercise and chizzbugga diet finally catch up with him so he can truly Make America Great Again.

I think he will believe anything you want as long as it gets him the results he’s after.
I strongly suspect he could “beat” any polygraph (or at least it would be inconclusive and never be able to tell when he was telling the “truth”).
