It has been almost four months since the election, Joe Biden has been sworn in as the 46th president, and Donald Trump is just a sad old Florida man stewing in his own hate at Mar-a-Lago. But, of course, we are still dealing with the massive shitstorm he created with his election ratfucking bullshit.

Yesterday, the Supreme Court declined to hear Republican Party of Pennsylvania v. Degraffenreid, one of the last remaining cases from that time Trump tried to throw a coup and overturn the election results in all of the swing states that went blue.

By the end, even the lawyers conceded that they weren't trying to change the results of the 2020 election. That's because they couldn't use that particular case to do that, even if they tried. Only around 10,000 mail-in ballots arrived after the Election Day deadline, Joe Biden won the state by 80,555 votes, and there were no allegations that any lower races were affected.

Oh, and there's the fact that Biden won by enough electoral votes that even without Pennsylvania, he still would have won the election. But Republicans aren't about to stop trying to screw over our democracy, so here we are.

Why did they keep fighting after the election was clearly over? They were hoping they could get the Supreme Court to say the Pennsylvania Supreme Court was wrong to extend the deadline for mail-in ballots in the midst of a deadly pandemic. The goal was to create precedent saying state supreme courts have no authority to make rulings based on their own state constitutions about federal elections, just in case some state supreme court tries to step in and guarantee the right to vote in future elections.

2. I haven't heard the expression "get bent" in probably 40 years. How timely, as it was also....

....used as "get bent for lent" among my less respectful friends.
