The Republican Election Challenges

No shit Sherlock:


Senior Trump administration officials are increasingly alarmed that President Trump might unleash — and abuse — the power of government in an effort to overturn the clear result of the election.

Why it matters: These officials tell me that Trump is spending too much time with people they consider crackpots or conspiracy theorists and flirting with blatant abuses of power...
 
It would appear that Sidney Powell has not entirely fallen out of favour with Trump. More batshit craziness ahoy:


I'd assumed this was related to Dominion initiating action against Powell for her lies, and the implication that the Trump electoral campaign could also be liable:

CNN reported the Trump campaign subsequently telling employees to preserve evidence:



However, the NYT is also claiming Trump sounded out the viability of the Martial Law option in the meeting, so batshit craziness remains an extremely credible explanation.
 
Trump spends all of his time, day after day for 6 weeks now, absorbing misinformation, all day long, on twitter and on his two supportive tv channels.
He's not actually the source of most of the lies it's more that he consumes a diet of them all day long, anything supportive of his delusion he is there soaking it in, clinging to it, amplifying it. I think that's a kind of important piece of what is happening.

Then there's his lifelong refusal to back down, admit he was wrong or a failure, apologize, show empathy or support for anyone other than his acolytes/ base...

If he is escorted from the White House, it will make him a martyr and he will use it to show that he was "right" all the time.

As for the lies, well, his whole life/ career has been about lies. He probably feels very comfortable with them. It's the truth that irks him.
 
The report that trump sat in a room on Friday with Michael Flynn and discussed martial law as a way of forcing a re run of the election in key states is actually pretty amazing to me even now. I do realise it will not happen but that doesn’t make it funny, imo.

Now looking like the planned “Million Militia March” on Jan 20th, or the earlier event on Jan 6th which is backed by Trump himself- are being floated as potential pretext (or at least the attendant disorder/ violence, particularly if militias attempt to ‘open carry’ in the capital) for an attempted martial law/ coup attempt. The echoes of Mussolini’s March on Rome are not unnoticed. 😡
 
I think we are getting a flavour of the future trump twitter stream...

Oooo - another court case.
I guess that he has to keep protesting so that people will continue to send him money.

 
Such a pity that it seems like California is the only US state which has the legal concept of a "vexatious litigant". It would be funny as fuck if the Trump campaign got slapped with that.

I am not sure whether people in general don't believe this is possible ... or they are waiting to see what happens before choosing sides . I am not saying the maga crew pose any kind of real threat as a militia to the USA (lol) but other militias are available and you can bet they will exploit every angle to find one.

I think that dominion ltd is readying to sue Sidney Powell but that's not quite as good.

They'd be better repeatedly publishing clips of Powell's "highlights" and making her out to be the utter loon that she clearly is. A defamation suit would require them to prove that she's knowingly and demonstrably wrong in the courts, and what Powell and co are probably angling for is the opportunity to examine the reliability of voting machines in that setting. Remember, none of their bonkers lawsuits have got anywhere near examining the actual content of their fraud claims in any detail - don't gift them the opportunity to do so.

It wouldn't really work. afaik they had "disgruntled electors" from the relevant state as the plaintiffs in the cases they brought

Still, it would be nice

Well this is happening, to the great distress of hardcore trumpets. clearly newsmax couldn’t survive being sued. What tv channel will they find now to feed them the lies they require. Very sad.
 
Back on the betting thing, i just saw this. It has been retweeted by an anti-maga account, with everyone mocking the idiot who ended up in this position and really, its not any kind of funny is it. There'll be a lot of proper despair out there, people who fully bought into the trump as saviour thing, and some of them will not ever get over it.

Indeed. The reality is that there is a fair portion of the working class in there. The anger is real and the cause of it is their exploitation . We just need to ... not ridicule them . Tricky . But keep in mind that the source of their anger is actually the same as yours .

I find that they get triggered by labels like anarchy, communism and socialism. If we want them back this is going to be a puzzle and a half but hopefully it might also be the end of cancel culture :/
