Trump Declares War On American Democracy | Talking Points Memo

“if you count the legal votes, I easily win.”

False.

 

“If you count the illegal votes, they can try to steal the election from us.”

Not even false.

If McConnell has time to approve more judges, he’s got time to approve more Cabinet members.

I want Barr in jail, just like John Mitchell.

McConnell needs to grow a spine and get together with Pence and McCarthy and the three need to have a Come-to-Jesus meeting with the Mango. This is the end - its over.

Also this talk about 2024 is ridiculous, Trump will be 78 and in assisted living by then. He already wears Depends, for Chrissakes. Nobody as loony as he is will survive well in old age as everything starts wearing out.

One could make the argument that Senate confirmation is a moot point, but the circumstances are unprecedented – and Trump would, of course, take the matter to court.

A Trump-loving acquaintance claims this is a CIA coup against the President–just like in l953 and in Libya with Obummer and Killary–and that “woke people” in the country are NOT going to stand for it here. Trump ain’t the only one who has gone off the rails…

Thanks. I quoted him just the other day.

In this case, however, I wanted the contrast with “False.”

The question right now is whether this is all just BS and bluster from Trump, or if he really believes the election is being stolen. If the latter, he has sworn an oath registered in heaven to defend the Constitution, and if he fails to call to DC NG units from faithful states like Utah to defend the election from those who would steal it, that can only be because he is a coward who has decided not to do his sworn duty.

If he’s serious, this is war, quite literally.

“I challenge Joe and every Democrat to clarify that they only want legal votes, because they talk about votes and I think they should use the word legal, legal votes,” Trump said.

And I challenge you to do the same you pathetic excuse for a human being. Thanks Mitch, this is all yours.

Nobody cares anymore Donald. You’re a loser. WaPo and NYT and CNN and even Fox are ignoring your latest rant.

Sounds like reality is finally, finally getting through to him. Must be quite a shock to his highly flawed system of “thinking”.

As bad as the Democrats appear to have done in this election, it’s still delightful to watch that bloated, short-fingered, imperious, prevaricating swindler slowly come to the realization that he’s outlived his usefulness to McConnell and the GOP money men to the point where no one’s coming to his rescue this time.

His two idiot sons and remaining sycophants are on tour ranting and raving about the alleged illegality of Democrat-run cities stealing the election in plain sight and the fake news refuses to cover it.

I’m waiting for Giuliani to state that Hunter Biden hacked the election by having several million GOP votes sent directly to his laptop then hand-delivered to some oligarch in Ukraine who paid for Biden’s election.

Trump’s narcissistic injury is raging to the point where he’s going to destroy the GOP for abandoning him in his neediest moment, on top of having to deal with his superego repeatedly telling him “Some very smart, talented, people are saying that you’re really the biggest loser you always feared you really were.”

I expect Trump to restart his comedy/religious revival tours once again in order to get his fix from the very clowns he personally despises but realizes as an accomplished con man that there’s still a very rich financial vein for him to tap towards his mounting legal fees.

Tangentially related, I dreamt that Lindsey Graham was found dead on his fainting divan, resplendent is Scarlett O’Hara’s red dress still holding the mint julep laced with fentanyl that killed him in his dainty soft hands. Sadly, I awoke to find out it wasn’t true.

He didn’t. McConnell, Pence and Barr did. They knew he was a cheat and a traitor and let him burn the country down anyway. All for judges and their bank accounts.

I’ve said this several times. But that assumes he’s still alive. He’s extremely unhealthy.

But either way, there’s no “Trump 2024.”

Trumplethinskin is insane. He needs to be sedated, the 25th enforced, and then hope that The Human Q-Tip doesn’t pilot the nation into the ground before Joe takes over.
