In swing states around the country, Republicans are already gearing up legal challenges to the election results. Speaking on Sunday in one tightly contested battleground, President Trump made it clear that he is also planning to quickly push the presidential contest into the courts.
Were going to go in the night of, as soon as that election is over, were going in with our lawyers, Trump told reporters in Charlotte.
I think its terrible when we cant know the results of an election the night of an election in a modern-day age of computers, said Trump, before alleging that the Democratic governors of Pennsylvania and Nevada would somehow interfere with accurate counting.
He also suggested that voters were to blame by waiting too long to mail in ballots, although delivery delays by the U.S. Postal Service under a Trump-backed postmaster general have emerged as the biggest factor for most late arrivals.

Who cares. The SC, the military and judges will follow the Constitution. Not him.

Just more lying. Frantically trying to keep the spotlight on him even after he gets the hook.

Another boring, empty threat. I think even the paid bots and trolls have lost interest in your toothless rantings, Clownstick von Fuckface.

So he will also be maneuvering to muddy the legal waters as much as he can and stall any pending cases against him as well, before his ass is removed. If he can snag a hail mary with the shit storm he throws up about the election, that would be even better for him. By the time it is all said and done, he may even be on suicide watch by the end of him.

lawsuit. The attorneys get monetary sanctions against them for filing a suit they know can't survive in court.
