Trump Challenges Cement Biden's Triumph

“President Trump’s frantic post-election challenges are having the opposite effect of what he intended: He’s documenting his demise through a series of court fights and recounts showing Joe Biden’s victory to be all the more obvious and unassailable,” Axios reports.

Said election law expert Rick Hasen: “Each loss further cements Biden’s win.”

James Careville:

"Sure let's recount. That way the SOB can lose twice"

I'm enjoying, in my sadistic manner, the 'death of a 1000 cuts, the slow loss.

Even letting the MAGATs migrate en mass to Parler is a Good Thing; a honeytrap where they will be much easier to keep an eye on.

The more law suits he files, the more they get knocked down, the more people will see that that is a desperate futile frivolous attempt being made by a person who can not accept the reality of what is.

Her email address is: emily.murphy@gsa.gov

The GSA Inspector General's email address is: fraudnet@gsaig.gov

It has gone beyond asking. Americans are dying. She needs to be held to account for violating her oath to the U.S. Constitution.

The court challenges are a distraction from something else.

Trump knows he has lost.

Trump has spent 4 years creating one distraction after another. What is he hiding this time?
