Porter Wright withdrew from a federal lawsuit it had filed days earlier. A top Jones Day lawyer said the firm wouldn’t take on new election litigation.


Yeah, that plus he won't be throwing them any future business either, so there's no incentive to maintain any relationship with Trump. They know he's heading to the slammer. These spurious lawsuits don't enhance the bigger firms' reputations and there was at least one report of internal rebellion among the attornies over going forward with these fugazi cases.

How y'all doing now?

Since then:

Evangelical leader Robert Jeffress said it's over, Biden won

The Republican AG of AZ said, "it does appear that Joe Biden will win Arizona"

Pat Toomey, GOP Senator from PA, said Trump needs to start the transition process NOW

State Governors are coming forward and telling Trump to start the transition process NOW

10,000 more mail-in ballots in PA arrived after Nov. 3. They will only increase Biden's lead there

The fear mongering over getting state electors to change their vote to Trump is a full-on turd sandwich going nowhere fast

The Republican's fraud "witness" is fugazi

The judge in PA got Trump's lawyers to confess in court there is no fraud

The GA hand recount has begun and will sign, seal and deliver Biden's current 14,000 lead there give or take a few

MSNBC now says that people within Trump’s own inner circle are “embarrassed by what they are witnessing right now” from Trump, and that his ongoing desire to contest the election is “unsustainable.” Meanwhile Politico says that Trump’s own Republican allies are already preparing for President Biden, and that what we’re seeing from them right now is mere “performance art.”

Trump cultists continue to expose their stupidity and it will only bury Trump deeper in conspiratorial BS that gets him nowhere

So everybody please put your big boy pants back on and get on with it. Biden won. Nothing is changing that.

Meanwhile, while everyone was crapping their undies, what Trump is really doing is cashing in any way he can before he has to leave.

If you think him shuffling around personnel in the Pentagon is about attempting a coup, get a clue! It's all about baksheesh. Trump is selling off weapons to the highest bidder. Those off-shore accounts of his are swelling while he gets you to worry about the election. Even a delusional narcissist knows he can't stay in the WH, so everything from hereon out is a cash grab.

I repeat, filter everything coming out of the WH as a smokescreen during this final pilfering of public resources to line the pockets of these grifters. They're stealing money, not votes. Get it?

You’re still underestimating just how pathetically narcissistic this grifter is and how immensely evil the entrenched GOP politicians are.

They went unchecked for 4 years and did a lot of stuff to drag policy far to the right. If you think they’re not going to attempt to push this out as far as possible with lawsuits to force the selection to be made by Congress or SCOTUS, then you sound just like the ppl who told me calm down there’s no way

He’d win the nomination
He’d win the election
He’d go through with some of his campaign claims
He’d put politics over the welfare of the nation

I hope I am a 100% wrong and you’re a 100% right. I hope it is just a grift and/or just a tantrum. But the longer this lasts, the more people are realizing this attempt to circumvent the will of the people is a real possibility.

Trump is mentally ill and is simply unable to accept defeat. The wiring in his fcked up brain won't allow that. So, I would stop waiting around for his personal concession to Biden for I doubt we'll ever get that. What's important is that the system for the transfer of power remains in tact. Biden needs the access he deserves so now it's on the Republicans in Congress to "man up" and do the right thing.

That could be an explanation for his behavior. But with him are some more. I don't think such a thing could happen, if he was simply a bad loser.

I wonder: Could they be distracting us, tricking us?

NO

I'm 100% correct about the following:

1) Trump has never been interested in governing. He only cares about getting paid and building his brand.
2) See # 1 above. Multiply by 10 for his remaining time in the WH
3) They are not overturning the results. I won't even debate it or lecture about it again. It's just ridiculous

In sum, there is only one thing going on with Trump the rest of his one and only term which is grifting his followers and fleecing the government of its resources. THERE IS NOTHING ELSE THERE.

Now, as far as the matter of whether he remains a dangerous threat to democracy even with only two months left, the answer is YES. He can undermine the public understanding of fair elections to the point it harms future election integrity if only in the form of a rabidly stupid public becoming even more dumb and immune to facts.

And he can cause a ton of remaining harm with EA's and appointments, but still, almost all of his actions will be for personal gain. He no longer gives a flying donut about the GOP, is sandbagging them in the GA run-offs and he may even position himself to the cult as the one true savior and take a giant dump on the GOP on his way out the door.

He's a criminal, a grifter and a menace to society until he leaves the WH one last time.

But the election results are final and that is not changing.

The harm to the transition process is immense and it is dangerous. It leaves a lot of loose ends flying in the wind until he is evicted. Still, the election is not being overturned.

I explained it already. He is trying to make an end run around congressional protocols to sell the Saudis billions in weapons. This is payola. There is no way that happens without Arab money being wired into offshore accounts held by Trump.

The money he gets from fleecing his followers with campaign and election defense fund fraud is a drop in the bucket compared to the kind of money he gets if he pulls off these kinds of weapons deals. He tried it once before and failed and he's trying one more time. It is a massive cash grab. It doesn't mean he'll succeed.

Lankford said he'll take action so even the GOP will force the transition to start happening.

Yes, Trump is sick and even all the rationales in the world for this fukkery still falls upon the basic fact that he's insane.

I hope that Trump can begin to accept the results and work together with Biden. Maybe Trump can get some of his followers, the ones that are good people, to support the country in moving forward. Biden has been talking about unifying the country and Trump can help him do so as his saving grace to make up for the errors of the last four years.

More succinctly put, to do what he is trying to do he would need to have the full support of the military and he doesn't. There is no legal argument and no way around the electors more or less falling in line.

He gone.

It's all over but for the crying

Military won't be required either way

The guys who are assigned to protect him now will gladly drag his ass out of the WH when his time is up

From what news source are you getting this Saudi arms deal stuff? And how would Trump ever profit personally from what is a government transaction? Is this your own personal theory?

No doubt. Military won't be needed to get him out but it would have been needed to keep him in.

I like the idea of treating him like a squatter. First, turn the utilities off.

Trump will be his version of gracious in like a month or so. Hell today, he almost accidentally conceded today.

Thing Im actually worried about is that Biden will catch the **** we know about what about all the **** that trump did that we dont know? For example if I owned a 401k, I would be quite alarmed today thanks to trump.
