As more states certify President-elect Joe Biden's victory, President Donald Trump is keeping up the pressure on Georgia Governor Brian Kemp to "call off the election."

Trump has yet to concede the election to Biden, who secured the 270 electoral votes necessary to win days after the election. Even as crucial swing states certify their results, Trump's team has maintained its legal fight against what the president claims, without evidence, is election fraud.

One of the states the team has its eyes on is Georgia. On Tuesday, Trump called for Kemp to "do something" because he had "allowed" his state to be "scammed." The president added that it was necessary to check signatures and count signed envelopes against ballots.

"Then call off the election. It won't be needed," Trump tweeted. "We will all WIN!"

So, Trump's theory is that his lackey, Republican Brian Kemp was complicit in a massive fraudulent scheme to steal Georgia in favor of Joe Biden? I guess that will be Trump's pitch in support of Republicans in the runoff elections. Your Republican elected leaders are corrupt and in the deep state pocket of Democrats, so please turn out and vote for them in this rigged process!

1. When people questioned 2000, 2004 and 2016 elections

I realized that it wasn't the losing candidates calling the results into question. It was people who voted. The biggest mouth questioning 2020 results is impeached traitor. I wish to God he'd stfu. He is the worst loser I ever saw in my entire life.

[JudyM]

31. He is the Biggest Loser, for sure.

2. Way past 25th Amendment time

Somehow the law about this has to be changed so the party in power doesn’t get to decide. There needs to be an independent nonpartisan committee of physicians and psychiatrists that would determine the ability of the president to serve, with the power to invoke the 25th.

[hedda_foil]

4. Makes a lot of sense.

[BComplex]

5. Hear! Hear! An independent party needs to determine the sanity of the president, or Supreme

Court justice.

[Harker]

7. Yep. Straitjacket and a pink slip. n/t

[Cha]

20. Exactly.

[muriel_volestrangler]

16. That's what I was thinking. This has gone beyond grift or trolling

He's no longer able to seem coherent in either of those modes. He's spouting random crap that actually hurts people he needs for money or support - as well as hurting the country (which he never cared about, of course).

[crimycarny]

3. I wish the media would ignore this crap!

Trump knows EXACTLY what he is doing here. This is one of the biggest con jobs yet and the media is doing his bidding. He is playing the media like a fiddle right now and laughing all the way to the bank as donations for his fake “fight elect fraud” PACS flows in with every retweet, news story, and news article published. Jr. sent out a frantic fundraising email just two days ago on the need to “donate now so we can demand recounts! Time is running out!” then he includes a link to their fundraising site.

This is Trump University and Trump’s fake Children with Cancer charity all over again and the media is giving them free advertising for it! What do they think those “hearings” held in hotels are for? This has to be one of Trump’s most successful cons ever.

[Rebl2]

6. Oh I

wish they would too. There are so many other things they could be talking about.

[maxsolomon]

13. Which "Media"? Fox?

I'm really tired of these blanket condemnations of "the Media". Please be specific.

Yes, he's creating hysteria out of whole cloth to line his pockets, but also to salve his fragile ego. I actually think it's important for us Libtards to know HOW he's undermining the foundations of our Democracy.

[christx30]

17. Fox has gotten a little better.

It’s why trump and his people have hated it a not lately, and his cult has moved on to OAN, and Newsmax.

[crimycarny]

30. Repeating every little tweet and circus show

Is not journalism, it’s sensationalism.

As I wrote in my original post, until there is something CONCRETE for the news to report on, they are basically acting as PR for the Trump campaign. It doesn’t matter if the coverage is negative, they are basically giving Trump’s challenges legitimacy by reporting every sh*t show as if it’s newsworthy. They are free advertising for Trump’s PACS.

Keeping the fight going in the media does one thing—it keeps the fight going.

They can continue reporting but not make it FRONT PAGE NEWS status every time. Stop giving oxygen to Trump’s craziness. We can still be “informed” but we don’t need every crazy stunt or tweet to be treated as the most important news for the day!

Watch the history channels for McCarthy-ism and how the media helped Joe McCarthy’s ride to power. It wasn’t until McCarthy went after the military that he was finally taken down.

[reACTIONary]

34. I agree. There is not a "the media* nt

[royable]

22. Perhaps there IS lots of crap the media IS ignoring, so we don't hear about it.

Falling into the category of "things we didn't know we didn't know." Just a thought.

[Thekaspervote]

27. Exact..dotard has pulled 150 mil for his election fraud fund since the election

[Warpy]

28. On the contary, they need to hammer it home

because too many fence sitters out there still aren't aware of what kind of nutjob he really is.

[crimycarny]

32. If he is made irrelevant it won't matter

Fence sitters are the exact type that won’t bother to delve into the details and will just be peripherally aware that Trump is still dominating the news cycle. This serves Trump more than any fence sitter. Stop talking about him 24x7 and he becomes irrelevant. (Michael Cohen mentioned Trump loves ANY press coverage, negative or not, because it lends him the power to divide and manipulate. Trump’s worst fear is to be ignored BECAUSE HE LOSES POWER.)

NO, I don’t mean ignore anything truly newsworthy, such as Jared flying to the Middle East or Trump telling Pompeo to throw everything at Iran short of starting WWIII. THAT’S newsworthy. But I don’t want to hear every ridiculous crazy claim about election interference, or at least not as front page news. Don’t give Kayleigh McEnany’s latest ridiculous press conference or TV appearance the same importance as the escalating situation in Iran, for example.

[Kid Berwyn]

8. Dumpy has to be told the same things over and over and over again.

In Georgia, the Governor has no say in elections.

The Secretary of State has authority over elections.

[reACTIONary]

36. And regardless, you can't call off an election because..

... "we don't need an election". What the fuck is he talking about??

[GeorgeGist]

9. Well he stole the governorship ...

From Stacy so why the pretense Brian?

[Akacia]

10. What burns me up the most about the whole thing is that

I have allowed that menace with his evil ways to put a damper on my happiness that Biden was elected! I hate him so much he ruins everything he is near!

[LisaL]

11. My feelings exactly.

We can't even be happy over Biden winning the election since Trump refused to concede, keeps claiming he won, and so on.

[Akacia]

12. Yes! He is such a jerk! nt.

[maxsolomon]

14. Disgraceful.

Hopefully this post-election farce has opened a lot of GOP Politician's eyes to the reality of Trump's Sociopathy.

They have to take their shitty party back from this Con Man and his fellow grifters.

[Ford_Prefect]

15. Oy Vey!

[obamanut2012]

18. I literally don't even get what he is saying

Jeebus.

[maxsolomon]

21. It's likely he doesn't either.

One thing he excels at is IMPLYING - he is a savant at this kind of non-specific slanderous mob-boss wink-wink gobbledygook. Rudy or Leopard Print Lady feeds him ridiculous CT anecdotes, he sort of half-listens except when he gets called "sir", it goes in a blender, and out comes these Word Salads.

What is he asking Kemp to actually do? "Something".

[Lock him up.]

23. Kemp can't do anything. The SOS could, but...

dRumpf just wants more money from his cult of gullible bRainwa$h.

That is all that is about for the next 4 years, or until he's thrown in a state jail and gets his phone confiscated.

[obamanut2012]

25. lol good point!

Kemp is a horrible, horrible person, but even he isn't 100% that stupid.

[reACTIONary]

37. Jeebus. WTF? Totally incomprehensible.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

43. The "we don't need" the election is the part I don't get.

The other stuff is just, "Ignore the rules and hand me the win!!!" But, is he also saying GA election officials should just say the Rs won the run off elections and cancel them?

Generally it's not worth trying to make literal sense of his word salads. He's usually just saying, "I'm the smartest, strongest, most attractive, best person ever! Praise me!!!" This one for some reason has me more curious. Though, it's likely no more meaningful than the rest of his babble.

[TomDaisy]

24. Mitch can raise $50M for these races in one afternoon

and even trump is not going to stop him from using 100% of his power to hold those two seats

[JustAnotherGen]

26. I don't know that Trump will

but I sure as shit hope the Lincoln Project picks up on it . . .

I guess that will be Trump's pitch in support of Republicans in the runoff elections. Your Republican elected leaders are corrupt and in the pock deep state pocket of Democrats, so please turn out and vote for them in this rigged process!

And I hope they triple down on that message. Their advertising is effective.

[LymphocyteLover]

29. Ah--

[myohmy2]

33. what a patriot...

...what a democrat, what a president...

"Then call off the election. It won't be needed," Trump tweeted. "We will all WIN!"

...we wouldn't want an election in a democracy getting in the way and messing up all of our governing plans...

...tell me, how do we make peace with people like that?

...we don't...

[reACTIONary]

38. +10 nt

[TNNurse]

35. This is a new level of stupid for Trump

The coming election is for Senators, not for him. Does he not want Senators from GA????

[LisaL]

39. I don't think he cares who the Senators from GA are if he isn't president.

NT

[Brainfodder]

40. This desperation feels so good doesn't it?

[Stuart G]

41. Trump is NUTS!!!& time will prove that he is/was/ and always will be so.

[Karadeniz]

42. Not even pretending to not be a fascist pig.

[Blue Owl]

44. Shut the fuck up Donny you fat piece of shit
