We need some of those flash-y memory obliteration things from Men in Black. If only we could make the external effects of DJT’s crap administration disappear along with the memories. ---

I would so like to see SCotUS respond to his petitions with rulings that almost give him what he wants, stringing the process out for several more weeks, so that he concentrates all his efforts on fighting the result, leaving him much less time to fuck up every little thing he can get his mandibles into. ---

I know the news today has been historic for so many reasons, but we cannot let this story fall through the cracks. I need to know every detail about this. I really want to hear from the people at Four Seasons Total Landscaping who got a call from the Trump team about having a press conference at their store and were just like, “OK”. ---

Meanwhile Mitch McConnell will be most concerned with those two Georgia Senate run-off races in January—on which hinge his hopes of retaining his current Ultimate Power. So he won’t have much energy or attention to spare to Donald’s hopes of finding “fraud” that would invalidate the Presidential race. Another problem for Donald is that so many down-ballot Republicans won races at the same time that Donald lost. They won’t be interested at _all_ in declaring those ballots to be fraudulent.
