    I feel like the choice of agreeing with Trump’s baseless and completely unfounded claims about election fraud are like a kind of Rorschach test for Republican’s patriotism and quality of character.

    So far nearly every single one is failing.

    Pay attention, everyone. Yes, it’s pretty sad and even a little bit discouraging. But it is very important too. This phenomenon does not describe the contours of an honest policy debate. This is 68 million of our fellow citizens crying out to terminate American democracy right here and now. Or at the very least, standing mutely to one side watching it unfold in quiet acquiescence. It must not be overlooked. The danger this represents is far too great.

    @1 “a kind of Rorschach test for Republican’s patriotism and quality of character”

    Any such test would leave you staring at a blank sheet of paper, because they have none of either.

    The FAA has closed the airspace over (President-Elect) Biden’s home. Also more Secret Service agents being deployed there to protect the candidate (President-Elect) Biden.

    @1 All the weeping and gnashing of teeth in the world can’t change the fact that (President-Elect) Biden is now ahead in Pennsylvania and Georgia.

    With great effort and expense, and aided by corrupt judges, they ***might***, by a long stretch, possibly be able to overturn the results in one state.

    But not three.

    NBC News has just called the Senate Race for Kelly. A Democrat now has Barry Goldwater’s old seat.

    Wherein the grand strategists at Trump Supreme HQ attempt to conjure more votes from thin air by contesting the minutiae of observer rules in the courts.

    “Justin Levitt, a professor at Loyola Law School in Los Angeles, called one Pennsylvania case, which complained that voters were given a chance to correct their mail-in ballots, ‘a tweet with a filing fee’ in an interview with ProPublica. The case reportedly would only affect 93 ballots, by one estimate.”

    Kinda like Hindenburg trying to scrape up stragglers in the fall of 1918 to plug holes in his front lines.

    Readers of the rightwing tabloid Daily Mail woke up this morning to this headline:

    “TRUMP IN DENIAL: Joe Biden is hours from victory after he overtakes Donald Trump in Pennsylvania and Georgia – where a RECOUNT is called – but President says the election is ‘not over’ after incredible rant claiming conspiracy against him”

  14. 14

    The BBC was more subdued: “US result nears as Biden takes lead in key states” and “The Democrat closes in on victory as he leads President Trump in Pennsylvania and Georgia”

    But, almost there.

    Predictably, the Trump Bois are attacking their … supporters.

    “President Donald Trump’s two sons have rebuked Republicans for failing to back the president as he struggles to win re-election. Mr Trump’s eldest son Don Jr accused the party of being ‘weak’. His brother Eric warned: ‘Our voters will never forget you if your [sic] sheep!’ The spat reflects an emerging rift between Trump disciples and the party. … Senior Republicans such as Utah Senator Mitt Romney and Maryland Governor Larry Hogan have warned against undermining the democratic process.”

    Few things in life are so warmly satisfying as sitting back with a fresh bowl of popcorn and watching Republicans eat each other alive.

    For some strange reason, when Second Amendment Militias cross state lines to start a civil war, they always neglect to get gun permits in the host state.

    “Philadelphia police arrested two men armed with guns Thursday night after receiving a tip reporting a plot to attack the Pennsylvania Convention Center, where city workers are counting mail-in ballots from the presidential election. The men, whose names weren’t released, were charged with firearms offenses, police said. … Neither of the men had a Pennsylvania gun permit, police alleged.”

    And, of course, their Hummer sported QAnon stickers.

    Well, the King County Elections methodology is working out quite well for Old Joe and His Ho.

    @17 Yep, this shows once again that Repugnants can’t win if the election laws are followed and all the legitimate votes are counted.

    A Repugnant is someone who believes American citizens shouldn’t be allowed to vote in their own country, and you’re one of ’em.

    “Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton had an extramarital affair with a woman whom he later recommended for a job with the wealthy donor now at the center of criminal allegations against him, according to two people who said Paxton told them about the relationship.”

    @17 Here’s your real election fraud, Pars:

    “More than 150,000 ballots were caught in U.S. Postal Service processing facilities and not delivered by Election Day, agency data shows, including more than 12,000 in five of the states that have yet to be called for either President Donald Trump or his Democratic challenger, Joe Biden.

    “Despite assurances from Postal Service leaders that agency officials were conducting daily sweeps for misplaced ballots, the mail service acknowledged in a court filing Thursday that thousands of ballots had not been processed in time, and that more ballots were processed Wednesday than on Election Day.

    “The number of mailed ballots the Postal Service did not deliver by Election Day is expected to grow as more data is released in the coming days. Some election experts worry such delays could run up against even more-generous ballot acceptance windows that some states have granted.”

    Someone should go to jail for this.

    @22 Fun to watch Donny Jr. writhe in agony. His political future is probably up in smoke, too.

    Elections are binary. You either win or lose. And it really sucks to lose, doesn’t it, Donny?

    4,
    Good question.
    I think I’d start at the local level. Republican voter’s gradually increasing distrust of government coincides with growing isolation from their own community.

    “Sources close to the White House said some senior officials inside the White House and the campaign are beginning to quietly back away from Trump, in acts of self-preservation, as the returns in Pennsylvania and Georgia indicate the President will not win reelection. ‘It’s over,’ one key adviser to the administration said of the race.”

    When the power is gone, and there are no plum jobs to hand out, Trump will find out how many friends he has left. Probably only the ones he hasn’t gotten around to backstabbing yet, and maybe not even that many.

    I would like to see bloomberg and the other liberal billionaires commit to creating a competing liberal talk radio network and bankroll it for 10 – 15 years…

    Been there, done that.. Corporations pull their ads at the slightest bit of trouble like boycotts. That’s caused a shrinking of the wrong wing hate radio footprint and has hurt any liberal talk even more..

    The most resilient theory of advertising is: the lizard mind always wins. Klownservaticism has always appealed most to the lizard mind. Look at the ugliness of our trolls. This dark energy can be suppressed or sublimated – it can never completely go away.

    Liberalism appeals to our better nature. It can dominate for a good stretch. Liberals should try good government first. If people benefit and prosper – liberal governance will endure over any petty grievances from the always wrong wing.

    It’s time for Team Trump to respect our political rights. They had everything going for them: An electoral college skewed in their favor, incumbency, voter suppression, mail tampering, smears, the Fox Propaganda Network, QAnon, armed terrorists, even Rudy Giuliani — and still fell short.

    Of course, we don’t neeeeed them to act like grownups, be good sports, or do what’s best for the country. We’re merely offering them the opportunity.

    “Republican Sen. Mitt Romney said Friday that President Trump’s comments about a stolen election ‘damages the cause of freedom here and around the world,’ going further than the rest of the Senate GOP conference.”

    If Democrats fall short of 50 senate seats, Romney likely will be the only thing standing between them and McConnell Total Obstruction (TM). It will be his opportunity to go down in history as the statesman who saved America from a petty, vindictive, vengeful, nihilistic GOP caucus, while retaining a veto over anything he doesn’t like.

    If your candidate is losing right now, it’s because you didn’t put enough flags on your truck.

    Trump: I want to see the results now!
    People of the USA: We can’t show them to you until the audit is finished. I would love to show you them. They are very fine ballots. Wonderful ballots. The best ballots, the best this country has ever seen, and there’s millions of them millions and millions and millions…
    not only that, we prepaid millions in ballots

    Trump: i want the results now!
    People of the USA: you will get results when we get our stimulus.

    Guys it’s simple. You have to stop in Georgia, keep going in Arizona, stop in Pennsylvania, keep going in Nevada, stop in North Carolina, recount Wisconsin, and ultimately let Brett Kavanaugh weigh in on all of it. That’s what the Founders would have wanted.

    US House candidate, WA-7
    Whatever happens in Georgia, everyone should get on their knees and thank strong Black women like the fearless @staceyabrams and so many who slog away without appreciation—and then we should pass real policies that benefit them. This all may come down to Georgia & Arizona.

    in summation—
    Trump is a genius but you can’t see his grades
    Trump is healthy but you can’t see his medical reports
    Trump is rich but you can’t see his tax returns
    Trump is innocent but you can’t subpoena the witnesses
    Trump is a winner but you can’t count the votes.

    @ 47 RR:

    Seems to me that being employed by the Fat Donny administration isn’t something one could put on a resume’ and get a decent list of job offers to choose from. If I saw that on a job applicant, they wouldn’t get past the first round of selectees for interviews.

    “Nope”. – > trashcan.

    It’s going to end up with them hemming and hawing, trying to excuse several years of an employment gap that they won’t account for.

    When I see that, I assume they’ve been incarcerated or something.

    Those people are going to have to change their names and beg the Social Security Administration to change their SS numbers. I wonder how many of those folks are sanding or acid burning the prints off of their fingers right now?

    Afterthought, I would assume that they’ve stolen enough cash money from the campaign funds and their own grafts and scams (see Steve Bannon) to retire comfortably somewhere in Belize or maybe the Bahamas. If it were me, I’d personally want to live in Costa Rica.

    Quote I saw somewhere from a Philadelphia Flyers fan when the news had broken about a couple of second-amendment lunatics who had been caught with weapons and apparent plans to attack the vote-counting site in town there:

    “We have a 7-foot-tall orange opioid hallucinatory nightmare wearing knifeshoes who beat up Santa Claus. Fuck around and find out.”

    Not disappointed that this result leaves Never-Trump Republicans banished into a wilderness of obscurity.
