Try to make sense of it... I dare you. That fuckin guy must smoke more weed then I do.

1. Guessing legal scholars disagree.

2. Reality to him is a helium-filled balloon

And he lost his grip on the string a long time ago.

[Goodheart]

3. As usual, he's ridiculously incoherent.

His trumplodytes don't care... as long as he says SOMETHING, ANYTHING combative and whiny.

4. Like the bank robber

Wanting to liberate all that captive money.

5. Addled brain

9. Adderalled brain.

6. That's what you do when you are a child.

You twist everything to explain how you were right and good, and everyone else was bad. And that anything bad that happened wasn't your fault.

He's a malevolent and ignorant child. Most of the so-called leadership standing behind him are merely opportunists who hope to grab power when he inevitable sticks his tongue in a light socket.

16. Bonus points for the tongue in the light socket

The entire post is spot on but that ending has me howling. Thank you.

17. He's been doing that since childhood

Evil fuck

7. he'll tell you the sky is red if it helps him divide america and save his own ass.

i expected nothing less

8. He's gaslighting again

remember his supporters believe him to be a beacon of freedom and a promoter of democracy. He's playing to his audience. In the Trump world, reality is what he says is and his minions buy in.

Just listen to his twisted narrative and you know where he's coming from. He's been claiming that democracy was subverted by Democrats and he has been crusading against the fraud. If his coup had succeeded that would be the justification.

He must not succeed. Laughing at him in front of his supporters is probably helpful.

10. I like this part of his released statement:

The American People want, and demand, that the President of the United States, its chief law enforcement officer in the country, ...

That's definitely how he saw it!

[Kingofalldems]

11. An admission of guilt.

[samsingh]

12. he admitted his interference !

[imaginary girl]

13. Both siderism?

I've noticed that most accounts I've seen paraphrase the part about "congressional allies", though the actual quote I saw referred specifically to Republican Congressional allies. This strikes me as a type of both siderism, downplaying the partisan nature of this seditious act.

14. If his puckered lips were moving...

He was lying.

He knows he has been caught dead to rights. It all depends on how far the DOJ wants to push it?

[kentuck]

15. A couple of questions for TFG:

What did you mean when you said you wanted the DOJ to declare the election "corrupt' and then "leave the rest to you and your 'R' Congressmen?

Why did you not believe your own DOJ and AGs when they told you the election was not rigged?

Who told you differently?

[leftyladyfrommo]

18. He didn't write that. nt

[kentuck]

19. He must have Steven Miller still hanging around the shop?

He used to write most of that crap, in my opinion.

[leftyladyfrommo]

20. That's what I thought, too. nt
