IF they protest long enough, the Dec 1 deadline will arrive, and the original count will prevail.

The Trumpies really are stupid, and their desperation compounds their stupidity.

He said some of the Trump observers “clearly don’t know what they are doing.”

That really captures the essence of the whole affair.

I wish there was a way to figure out which counties aren’t in danger of having their recounts disrupted.

They are trying to be the absolutely biggest obstructive jackasses that they can possibly be …because they somehow think that it creates an advantage for their side.
Kind of a no-class, dishonest way to operate.

For those of you who are, like me, completely sick to death of reading about these useless bastards, I offer, as relief, a photo of a really cute puppy.

It is going exactly as they had hoped. In one ward, the observer objected to every one of the ballots. Every one.

Trump is dead, but he won’t lie down. This is just disruptive, malicious sandbagging plain and simple. Suspend the recount. Fine the trumpsters. Keep Trump’s money and certify for Biden

The whole point is to delay the count and and create enough confusion that they can go to court and get a right wing judge to throw out the votes from Milwaukee and Madison.

Lots of time left for tRump to steal the election. He knows he’s going to face criminal charges when he’s out of office so he’s not going to give up.

I feel sorry for the poll workers being suspiciously stared at by the Trumpeters.

Trump’s monsters seem all the rage now. If we make it through to Biden assuming office, order the popcorn.

Probability of that even with a Trump judge is infinitesimally small (See Georgia Lin Wood suit.)

Desperately using a collapsing paper straw as a snorkel is going nowhere for the Orange Liar.

Another Trump observer was removed Friday for not wearing a face mask properly as required.

Was it the asshole shown below, in the yellow jacket?

Wonder what Moscow Mitch will do now? We all know he would throw impotus under the bus if he can keep the Senate.
