The chief driver of the post-election contention of the past several weeks is the petulant refusal of one man to accept the verdict of the American people.

The Trump team (and much of the GOP) is working backwards, desperately trying to find something, anything to support the president’s aggrieved feelings, rather than objectively considering the evidence and reacting as warranted.

Almost nothing that the Trump team has alleged has withstood the slightest scrutiny.

In particular, it’s hard to find much that is remotely true in the president’s Twitter feed these days.

It is full of already-debunked claims and crackpot conspiracy theories about Dominion voting systems.

Over the weekend, he repeated the charge that 1.8 million mail-in ballots in Pennsylvania were mailed out, yet 2.6 million were ultimately tallied.

In a rather elementary error, this compares the number of mail-ballots requested in the primary to the number of ballots counted in the general.

A straight apples-to-apples comparison finds that 1.8 million mail-in ballots were requested in the primary and 1.5 million returned, while 3.1 million ballots were requested in the general and 2.6 million returned.

Flawed and dishonest assertions like this pollute the public discourse and mislead good people who make the mistake of believing things said by the president of the United States.

Well…

It’s ‘normal’ for today’s GOP….

On Monday President Trump’s campaign lawyer and former U.S. Attorney Joe diGenova said that fired Trump cybersecurity chief Chris Krebs should be executed for saying that the election was the “most secure in United States history.”

DiGenova, appearing on the Howie Carr show, which simulcasts on Newsmax, took aim at Krebs as an aside during a wheels-off segment full of false claims about how the United States election had been rigged.

“Anybody who thinks that this election went well, like that idiot Krebs who used to be the head of cybersecurity [for Trump]. That guy is a class A moron. He should be drawn and quartered. Taken out at dawn and shot,” diGenova said.

This is not just a random Parler troll trying to get attention. This is an attorney speaking on behalf of the President of the United States’ re-election campaign.

And while it may read like a macabre joke, the direct nature of diGenova’s comments make it impossible to interpret as anything other than a real wish/threat against a public servant for offering truthful testimony.

Carr responded to the statement with an awkward pause and a laugh and then changed the subject. Some s**t is so weird that it even makes Newsmax people uncomfortable.

DiGenova’s execution wishcasting comes on the heels of a Krebs interview with 60 Minutes in which he debunked the Trump team’s outlandish and conspiratorial claims about the election.

Krebs is a lifelong Republican who Trump put in charge of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, which had oversight of election security. (Trump fired Krebs via tweet.)

The Venezuelan tale was too fantastical even for Trump, a man predisposed to conspiracy theories who for years has feverishly spread fiction.

Advisers described the president as unsure about the latest gambit — made worse by the fact that what looked like black hair dye mixed with sweat had formed a trail dripping down both sides of Giuliani’s face during the news conference.

Trump thought the presentation made him “look like a joke,” according to one campaign official who discussed it with him.

“I, like everyone else, have yet to see any evidence of it, but it’s a thriller — you’ve got Chávez, seven years after his death, orchestrating this international conspiracy that politicians in both parties are funding,” a Republican official said facetiously. “It’s an insane story.”

Aides said the president was especially disappointed in Powell when Tucker Carlson, host of Fox News’s most-watched program, assailed her credibility on the air after she declined to provide any evidence to support her fraud claims.

Trump pushed Powell out. And, after days of prodding by advisers, he agreed to permit the General Services Administration to formally initiate the Biden transition — a procedural step that amounted to a surrender. Aides said this was the closest Trump would probably come to conceding the election.

✁

But, his advisers acknowledged, that was largely noise from a president still coming to terms with losing. As November was coming to a close, Biden rolled out his Cabinet picks, states certified his wins, electors planned to make it official when the electoral college meets Dec. 14 and federal judges spoke out.

Crazy I know, places I go

Make me feel so wired

I can see how people feel down

We’re on the outside

Oh here’s where the story ends

Is this where the story ends?

It’s that little souvenir of a terrible year

Which makes me feel so tired

And how could you ever have thought

All that you wrought

Would make us love you

Here’s Where the story ends?

Have you noticed how many senior military officers have butted heads with the idiot-in-chief? Who’s going to attempt this coup, the dumb sierra boys?:

They ABSOLUTELY have planned a coup, but apparently they won’t succeed.

These pigs are actually trying to get lawyers to decide our election instead of voters, and the “We Hate Government Bureaucrats” Republicans won’t say a word of condemnation.

One of the biggest reasons Trump continues to fight this futile battle, which he knows is futile, is that as long as he fights he keeps making money from the idiots that support him. He’s actively schmoozing for money, not even hiding the fact that most of the money won’t even go toward the court battles, and his idiots just hand it over to him. He’s making a killing.
