Probably that, plus a boatload of appeals to viewers for donations to fund the Noble Cause.
This is one of those things that is so stunningly stupid that I’m left wondering if I’m missing something.
Is it possible that they believe the GOP Governor has the power to declare the election invalid, due to the lack of registered Republicans voting? And that said Governor would then be free to appoint the GOP candidates to the Senate seats?
I admit I haven’t read the Georgia constitution—but I can’t believe it would contain any provisions that would make this possible.
On the Schadenfreude front: Trump has racked up yet another loss in court, this time from the US Court of Appeals for the 3rd Circuit, with regard to Pennsylvania votes. .
Trump’s team is now 2 up, 33 down (if I’ve kept score correctly).
I’m surprised the Oversized Toddler hasn’t complained that one of his appointees ruled against him.
He’ll probably get around to it eventually. But this judge wasn’t the first Trump appointee to rule against him. (A comprehensive list, with linkable judge names, is at wikipedia: Lawsuits related to the 2020 United States presidential election - Wikipedia )
Schadenfreude?
Trump paid for a recount in Milwaukee and one other county (Dane, iirc). $3 million.
Milwaukee came back recounted with a marginal increase for Biden, just 132 votes.
So far, the Trump campaign has spent $27,000+, per vote, just so Biden can beat him just a little bit more. 
It would be even more interesting if Trump himself were paying for this re-affirmation of Biden’s trouncing of his dictatorship-hopes.
But of course it’s Trump’s idiot fans who paid that particular bill.
I guess it gives them less to spend on guns and ammo, so: win all around.
The OANN website has more comments than I can count and I’d estimate that at least 85% are convinced that Biden is going to lose Pennsylvania, and by extension, the election.
One poster actually said that the Supreme Court is going to rule 9-0 in favor of Trump.
That’s small potatoes. They are in a cult. Members of a cult are indoctrinated to believe absolutely insane things; this is often quite deliberate on the part of the cult leaders, in order to cleave the members away from their friends and family.
Cults can have their members believe that UFO’s will come and take them away. Cults are so powerful they can convince their members to kill themselves.
That’s right. The relevant question is: how many members of state legislatures in how many states have joined the Trump cult?
Trump’s last remaining hope is that enough state legislatures will ignore the voters of their states and seat Trump electors, to either give him the Electoral College outright, or deny Biden enough EC votes so that the election will be thrown to the House.
In the House, of course, Trump will win, since the voting will be by state delegation (of which the GOP have more) and not by representatives (of which the Democrats have more).
So Trump needs some combination of legislators that are true believers, or bribable, or threatenable, or all three. Then he’s home free!
Hmm…
Not a major cause of suicide, next to mental illness or existentialism.
Well, maybe not before 2020. But statistically I wouldn’t be at all surprised if ‘cult membership’—specifically the cult of Trumpism/why-should-I-wear-a-mask-MUH-RIGHTS—racks up an impressive total number of deaths, this year and next.
(Which, I assume, was the cult to which needscoffee was referring with that “Hmm…” reply.)
Yep.
Cults were a major cause of suicide (or more likely, mass murder/suicide) one fine day in 1978. Could Trumpcult be far behind?

918 dead.
I haven’t been looking at the OANN website, but a few people on my Facebook feed are assuring themsleves that all of these losses in the courts are just part of the strategy, so as to get the case to the Supreme Court all the faster.
I have a CT acquaintance that I keep on my Facebook feed for amusement value and she posted a Sun Tzu quote about how Trump’s legal team are fooling the enemy by appearing weak when they are actually strong.
But what about the other time when people appear weak? You know, like when they actually are? For anyone who says Trump’s crack legal team is hiding their strength I am reminded of the words of Sgt. Hartmann: “You don’t scare me. Work on it.”
‘If they lose, rhey control the pace of appeals! Trump’s plan is brilliant!’
It’s not about winning, it’s about fleecing the idiotic Republican base into donating more money to the campaign that Trump and the Republicans can loot at their leisure.
The money he raises doesn’t actually go to fighting the imaginary election fraud (unless the donation is more than $6,000), it goes to a new PAC of Trumps and to the RNC, I can’t imagine Trump stopping his ridiculous claims as long as they can continue to fleece their ignorant, base.
This has been the “position” of Trump defenders since the beginning—that everything he says and does that is plainly moronic, is actually (you guessed it) Fifth Dimensional Chess.
People have to find a way to explain to themselves and to others why they support something that is inherently ridiculous–and this ‘you just don’t understand how brilliant this really is’ claim has been a go-to for millions.
How sad that these mental-gymnasts’ only reward is to be fleeced by con artists!
So true.
“Trump just shit his pants in public? Brilliant move! He did this to expose the deep state operatives lurking in the shadows! 5th dimensional chess!”
