Republicans are lying. Trump has no right to the chaos he's causing.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Don't listen to lying Republicans, like Sen. Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.), who say President Trump "has every right to look into allegations" in an attempt to overturn the election. This is nonsense.

Trump has no "right" to file frivolous lawsuits in bad faith and demand recounts that have no chance of changing the outcome. He has no "right" to make wild claims of fraud without presenting a shred of credible evidence. He has no "right" to delay and disrupt the most important performative act in our democracy — the peaceful and orderly transfer of power. But he does have a duty to his country, and, like with so many other obligations, Trump is neglecting it to the point of abuse.

Joe Biden and Kamala D. Harris won an election that was not all that close, and GOP quislings McConnell, Sen. Ted Cruz (Tex.) and Sen. Lindsey O. Graham (S.C.) know it. They know this is nothing like the cliffhanger of 2000, which hinged on a few hundred votes in a single state. Trump is trying — or pretending to try — to somehow change or nullify hundreds of thousands of votes in at least six states.

In Pennsylvania, Michigan and Nevada, attorneys pressing Trump's "election fraud" lawsuits have basically been laughed out of court. In Georgia and Wisconsin, election officials confidently predict recounts will not erase Biden's five-figure leads. In Arizona, where some news organizations still decline to call the race, the Republican attorney general says he believes Trump — trailing by more than 11,000 votes — is "very, highly unlikely" to triumph there, either.

1. This stupid behavior is exactly why Trump lost.

He needs to get his ass off the stage before he makes a bigger fool of himself. GO !

2. The real truth is that Trump is continuing to control the news cycle even after losing.

4. in the worst way

It is up to the media to limit the lies and insanity.
if you haven't notice they seem to be focused on Covid the last couple days.

6. True, I have noticed. Hopefully the Trump mania will go away like a bad dream soon.

3. GOP is not going to let ethics and morals get in the way of a possible political advantage.

Unless he is taken off the streets and put in prison, we are going to have to deal with the Pig till he drops dead.

I see Trump becoming a career candidate. He will run in 2024, out of spite, and he will begin as soon as he is evicted from the WH if not before.

5. I heard an interview with Ted Cruz today

He was lamenting the fact that good quality lawyers aren't taking up the fight to help Trump.

Apparently the smart lawyers are steering clear of the mess.

7. The smart lawyers would like to be paid, not stiffed nt

10. I think there are a few that don't want to be laughed out of court too

From what I've heard, the lawsuits Trump has been bringing don't get very far for lack of evidence.

8. And remember, they cried "sore/loserman" when we dared try to get all votes counted in 2000

They acted as though we had no right to look into even a single state's extremely close election.

9. You all are missing the real goal

the goal isn't to win in court.... its to create a narrative that there is all this possible fraud so that it gives cover to Republican Legislatures to disregard the will of their electorate and either appoint Trump electors in PA, MI, WI, AZ, and GA; or to not appoint any electors (thus throwing the election to the House of Rep.).

11. And all playing out against the deadly background

of a growing nation-wide Tsunami of Covid-19. But first things first for Republicans.

12. He had his chance -- and he's got nothin.' Nuthin.' NUUUUTHIN!!!!'
