According to his neice...

Mary Trump said the president inherited his acerbic behavior from his father, Fred Trump, a real estate developer who died in 1999. She called her grandfather

“a horrible human being who just reveled in other people's humiliation."

“It’s not simply that Donald is horrible and incompetent and cruel, it’s that he’s been allowed to be,” she said. “Every transgression that’s gone on unpunished has been an opportunity for him to push the envelope even further. That’s partially why we’re going to see him smashing as much stuff on his way out the door as he can.”

Its partly an aspect of trump’s cruel streak – he’s genuinely thrilled by the idea of people being harmed or killed at his behest.

I’m wondering how you know this?

The reason he'll go down in history as probably the worst U.S. President ever (and there's some stiff competition for that honour) is that he's the opposite of the pragmatic businessman that he projects. He's basically just a sadistic teenager whose parents died and left him at the reins, but all the advisors are too chickenshit to tell him he's an arsehole.

The Cruelty Is the Point: President Trump and his supporters find community by rejoicing in the suffering of those they hate and fear.

Trumps character (if indeed thats what it is) is all about the need for power and to be seen to be exerting it over others. His first year was largely spent signing executive orders, because to him it was 2 bigly words in his vocab (it also meant getting policy forced through without oversight because the house couldn't agree on it) he loved that camera in his face and scribbled VF rhythm of a signature on the page.

The greatest power he can have over another human is to condemn them to death and I think thats what all this is about to him, look at me 'I'm still the most powerful man in the world'

Texas case just rejected 🥳

2 justices dissented

SC declines to hear Texas court suit; prevented from filing the proposed suit because Texas '...doesn't have standing' - that is, we won't give you air time to make your case.
Surely this finally, finally nails the coffin closed.
Cannot wait for trump's response.

The two dissenting justices - Thomas and Alito - said nothing more than Texas should have been allowed to file the suit; they did not say that any other relief should be allowed.
They voted based on procedural issues, not substantive.
Thomas was appointed by Bush snr; Alito by Bush jnr.
None of trump's appointees were in favour.

So… Texas have gone to SCOTUS because Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin violated the constitution in their election process.

This seems to be the one to watch (the outcome rather than the case, as their is no case to prove as such as it’s a simple statement of fact).

I'm confused what we were supposed to be watching for @5thElefant

It was obvious lunacy

😆

Prosecutors have recently interviewed employees of President Trump’s lender and insurance brokerage, in the latest indication that he still faces the potential threat of criminal charges once he leaves office.

One can hope

Well, Fox seems to have got back to normal. In 30 mins this morning they covered COVID is no worse than flu (Dr. Atlas is back!), no need to vaccinate children, Hunter, why fossil fuels are good and climate change is fake news, and we're all gonna lose our guns now.

And now that the coup seems finally to be in its death throes, I for one cannot wait - CANNOT WAIT - for the legal system to destroy him and (hopefully) fully expose him for the vile charlatan that he is

No I think their aim is still MAGA but they are referring to the Confederate States of America.

The talk of secession coming from Trumpists now is interesting isn't it.

All the debate about Russian interference in the US election has been about how they might have done it, now why. Well there's the why.

I wonder if more Trumpist candidates will split the right wing vote in the next election?

I find it really amusing that some of the trumpers are calling for a boycott of the Georgia senate runnoffs which given the fine margins might actually mean the democrats take the two seats giving them control

Nothing says Banana Republic better than putting together your own "alternate slate of electors" because you don't like how the actual electors are voting.

It's scary. I sincerely believe that Trump just needs to say the word and people are going to start shooting. They wouldn't get very far, but innocent people would still get hurt.

Results of the forensic examination of the dominion machines have been released.

https://mobile.twitter.com/IvanPentchoukov/status/1338505355463188482

So, the big question is will the 2018 Executive Order get triggered on the 18th?

Just so I've got this correct : The "forensic analysis" was carried out by Allied Security Group (ASOG) who are a known right wing firm, ran by a failed republic nominee, who also ran another website, everylegalvote.com, that sole purpose was to delegitimise the election (Source). The only "news" outlet to run with this is the far right Epoch Times.

Yep, that's me convinced.

The really clever thing about the "Dominion machine fraud" is that somehow it swapped votes from Trump to Biden in a way that matched the manual recounts done by hand. Amazing.

OMG they're right. It was Hugo Chavez in the library with the voting machine. He would have gotten away with it too if it wasn't for you pesky Alt-Right 'freedom' fighters with your secret spider.

as for trump's next move...his racist 'special adviser' stephen miller has announced that an 'alternate slate' of electors will be sent to congress when they meet to endorse the electoral college vote.
It's about time the courts stepped in if any further spurious cases are litigated - deem them frivolous and use the existing powers to kick the litigants; possibly disbar them.

So how exactly does that work?
