Trump Sets Himself Up For Election Denialism 2.0 In Wisconsin This Fall

Fresh off an interview with Time magazine published this week, during which he would not rule out the possibility of violence if he doesn’t win in November — “If we don’t win, you know, it depends. … It always depends on the fairness of the election” — Donald Trump is giving himself wiggle room to cry “rigged” in a key swing state this fall.

In 1988, Graydon Carter characterized Donald Trump as a “short-fingered vulgarian.” It was true then. It is true now.

Fuck him. He no longer controls the levers of government and some significant proportion of his lackeys are gone. 600+ J6 rioters are doing time or about to, dozens of Trumpian lawyers are indicted, and Jack Smith is coming.

He’s ringing the stochastic terrorism bell, and the biggest risk is from lone-gunman McVeigh types. But Donald? He’s got no army.

He goes to jail or he flees.

Or dies.

Fair election if he wins
Unfair if he loses… …
Sounds like classic toddler reasoning to me

I vote for option 3. And in a tip of the hat to Henry II and Graydon Carter, I wonder will no one rid me of this short-fingered criminal vulgarian?

I’ll stay away from Henry & Beckett: that’s mob talk. Let’s convict the motherfucker and send him to jail.

Donald J. Trump has no idea as to the definition of the word “honesty.” Everything he does is the exact opposite of that.

In upping the ante, I’d say YES, that is yet another astute characterization.

For the past 8 years I’ve wanted him sent to prison.
Now I don’t care anymore how we get his horribleness out of our minds and lives.
Ideally, the justice system would take care of that. But if he has apoplexy I won’t feel too cheated.
I’m a less-tolerant person - and less confident about our system - than 8 years ago…

Speaking of his hair, it has looked especially shitty and unkempt during his courtroom appearances. Has there been an embargo placed on Aqua Net?

Trying to deemphasise the smell. According to someone I know, you can smell him 50 feet away.

This is pathetic.

Every one of those firemen are doing work on the side, and every one of them knows multiple people stiffed by Trump.

Funny how the weeping masses are over 9/11. Apart from the self righteousness. When they criticize NYC I tell them to get a pilot license.

“If everything’s honest, I’d gladly accept the results,” Trump told the newspaper Wednesday. “If it’s not, you have to fight for the right of the country.

If only Al Gore had bust into the SCOTUS with an AR15 back when they gave the election to W, we wouldn’t be in this mess today.

Guy I knew in a pub. Said he was helping an old lady through a door in one of the casinos, and Trump gave him some chips for being a nice guy. Smelled him coming.

He’s going to have about as much success calling for violence as he has had calling for protestors outside his trials.
