After a hand-recount found no change, he expects a machine recount to flip a five-figure margin? As James Carville says “we’ll get to beat him a THIRD time!”

He'll still lose even if he doesn't have to.

This is so pathetic and ridiculous. Trump has cemented his legacy as a fuckup and a loser. Not that he even cares. He's just a feckless clown too cowardly to face his own defeat. Go away Trump. You are boring.

Muck up the legitimate processes and counts in order to throw it to the courts, not to decide what to do with each zany case, but to keep thinks in the air past deadlines. Then, there, in that unprecedented space, he’ll try his luck with the packed courts right up to the SCOTUS.

I’m worried. Talk me down from the ledge. Please.

You can bet counting the electors in Congress will be a shit show of objections, adjournments for joint session debate, vote down objection, new objection. . .

I don't think I'll rest easy until that is behind us.

(BTW, If he did somehow manage to get the MI legislature to appoint DT electors, the Gov would just need to send a competing slate. This it would be up to Congress on Jan. I don't think they have enough insane Senators to count loser DT's electors.)

This is the second time our state will have to pay for your stupid recount. The upside is, we get to celebrate your third GA loss in one election. Sweet.

I mean, get the suckers what donated to his "legal defense fund" to pay for it? Isn't the cut-out for that fund to pay off his campaign debt up to 70% now?

ADDED: My bad. It's posted above that the GA taxpayers have to pay for it. I hope they know.
