Do you understand how hard this is for Donnie Dipshit

He thought this would work just like it does in his miserable life.

In his feeble mind, he did all these judges a "favor", and they "owe" him.

All his life he's survived because he "owns" people.

If it's a construction permit approve, threaten his family or bribe them.

If it's a bank, slip them some kickbacks.

If it's a politician, hook him up with one of Epsteins girls.

His entire life has been about being able to leverage people. Whether by bribary, blackmail, extortion, bullying or grift.

He honestly believes that he did these judges a solid, so he "owns" them.

It must just piss him off that he's not able to snap his fingers and get what he wants.

Court Denies Trump Campaign's Appeal in Pennsylvania ...

It's a paywall but at least they had the trump appointed judge's name on the Google page

Elsewhere it's been reported that it was a 3 judge panel, all republicans.. one pointed by bush2.

We all know that this LOSER hates himself and everyone on earth. He hates the earth too! We Dems aren't usually big on hate, but gotta admit it -- there is so much hate radiating from the cult that it's spilling onto us too. I do hate this loser and everything he represents. And I don't feel good about it at all.

With court cases and new investigations.
He won't have the power of the POTUS anymore. He also won't have a loyal cadre of sycophants hovering over him ready to carry out his whackiest orders. Where every whim is paid for by the American taxpayer.

But the greatest loss for him I think will be all the faux respect he had as POTUS. All the grovelling. The conditions that can make him get away with things like scolding a reporter for not respecting him, the President of the United States. He'll still have a loyal band of enablers, and many many red hats, but no one of any importance will want to be seen with him. As well, I can't wait to hear other leaders and civil servants reveal even more disgusting behaviour behind the scenes in the last 4 years, with no fear of repercussion.

as long as he picks up the tab. The last four years have all been on our bill. Starting January 21 he’ll be paying for his hamburgers himself. No more free private jet travel. No more helicopters. No more free lawyers - a big line item for him. When he entertains his entourage at one of his clubs he, not we, will pay for it.

Sure he’ll be able to squeeze a few bucks out of his stupid supporters, but not like when he was running for President.

Heck, he might even have to pay his taxes.

DiaperDonny is going to be digging deep.

That means if he continues to tweet shit about the election being a fraud he'll first get warnings and if he continues to do it he'll be banned and his account closed.

Because there are not many precedents.
First Twitter did not exist before (emerged during Obama's run, but he didn't use it)
And there was never a President that spoke to the country, more specifically his own followers, in such a direct way.
Also, he will always have the stature as an ex-President.

So I think it would be very very tough for Twitter to outright ban him. For one, they'd have a backlash of conservatives cancelling their accounts. And maybe make Parlor grow into an actual competitor.

I want every last one of these Diaper Don appointed judges removed.

I don't give a fuck if they occasionally do the right thing. The simple fact that they took a job this fucking moron offered tells me all I need to know about their character and judgement.

In a just world, they would resign in shame.

He has no concept of the value of ethics, honesty, kindness, empathy, and integrity, and thinks everyone is just another greedy dishonest, cruel sociopath, utterly lacking in any semblance of human kindness, like himself.
