Hadn’t seen it - thanks. Sums it all up.
Just as long as it wasn’t Gor groupies.
It’s the classic evil overlord conundrum - you can get loyal henchman, or you can get competent henchmen, but you can’t have any who are both.
What i like to point out is that GHWB–who started these letters–wrote his after a crushing defeat to Clinton. That was gracious. I’ll bet Biden writes one no matter what the current ignoramus does.
Actually, Reagan started the tradition with a short note to George H. W. Bush (on cute stationery that said “Don’t let the turkeys get you down.”).
Huh. I had always read it was Bush. Ignorance fought.
Well, Reagans is more of a note that a letter, I guess.
Or Wizard of Wor groupies.
Bush’s letter to Clinton was the first to a member of the opposing political party, though.
Foiled again!
Republican leaders in four critical states won by President-elect Joe Biden say they won’t participate in a legally dubious scheme to flip their state’s electors to vote for President Donald Trump. Their comments effectively shut down a half-baked plot some Republicans floated as a last chance to keep Trump in the White House.
State GOP lawmakers in Arizona, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin have all said they would not intervene in the selection of electors, who ultimately cast the votes that secure a candidate’s victory. Such a move would violate state law and a vote of the people, several noted.
“I do not see, short of finding some type of fraud — which I haven’t heard of anything — I don’t see us in any serious way addressing a change in electors,” said Rusty Bowers, Arizona’s Republican House speaker, who says he’s been inundated with emails pleading for the legislature to intervene. “They are mandated by statute to choose according to the vote of the people.”
The idea loosely involves GOP-controlled legislatures dismissing Biden’s popular vote wins in their states and opting to select Trump electors. While the endgame was unclear, it appeared to hinge on the expectation that a conservative-leaning Supreme Court would settle any dispute over the move.
Still, it has been promoted by Trump allies, including Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, and is an example of misleading information and false claims fueling skepticism among Trump supporters about the integrity of the vote.
…
Point of clarification: Rudy = Rude Boy (at least in this context).
Nice use of the song, though.

It looks like Trump’s expanded his legal team —-
This is crazytown, everyone. DiGenova and Toensing may be more insane than Guiliani, and they spent a lot of time running around Ukraine with Guiliani digging up dirt on whoever and they are at the forefront of the Soros conspiracy theories.
So now the real lawyers that lent this endeavor a razor-thin veneer of legitimacy have all flown the coop. Guiliani is still planning on going to the Supreme Court with the grand theory that the votes don’t count if he wasn’t allowed to wander around the vote processing center bothering civil servants.
And they are going to go full conspiracy theory, and even though I don’t think Trump’s lizard brain fully comprehends what the election in Georgia is for, he’s figured out that the Republicans are nervous about it for some reason, so he’s already slinging stink bombs demanding they find a way to nullify the electoral votes.
I think the fact that Trump fired everyone else and went with the clown car lends credence to my theory that he’s completely lost it and the idea that he just needed some time to accept his historic loss was delusional
Trump concedes!
Well, in his own way… 
That’s not a concession. That is more whining. Maybe it means he’s moving from the Tantrum phase to the Blubbering phase having worn himself out.
Also, did you have to get my hopes up like that?
Everything after “He Won” is a lie, as usual.
It’s probably the closest thing we’ll ever see to an actual concession.
How Trump supporters look themselves in the mirror baffles me. This is your hero?? This guy?
Here’s something I posted earlier in the thread. The conversation has been moving fast, and folks might have missed it. It’s a map of tribal lands in Arizona, alongside a precinct-level map of the presidential vote in the current election:
5 fundraising emails before 8am and this one made me burst out laughing:
I’ll bet Biden writes one no matter what the current ignoramus does.
Dear Michelle…
I know that one’s getting attention, but he sort of did the same thing a few days ago.
That doesn’t mean he’s going to stop fighting, though. He’s just going to get crazier and crazier.
