Trump's Rump

The Republican Recount of Arizona's Maricopa County has released the shocking details.


.... That Joe Biden won the State



They literally did the same thing with Wisconsin right after it was called, by paying millions for a recount, that led to Biden gaining a few votes.
 
Would "facts don't care about your feelings" be an appropriate thing to say here?

:lol:

It is hard to get a more accurate count than 6 months of grueling effort.


Every single fringe theory was checked by the Cyber Ninjas I'm sure.

Everyone can now relax their widespread voting fraud concerns.

Moving on would be a good thing, but alas, the GOP won't allow it. I think a NY indictment of Trump might help. :)

Donald Trump’s Hostage Politics
When Democrats complain that Donald Trump is plotting to suppress votes, they have a point—but fortunately for them, the votes he is plotting to suppress are those of his own supporters.

That was evident in January this year in the two Georgia Senate runoffs. Turnout in Republican strongholds fell because Mr. Trump told his voters the election in November had been stolen and the state’s GOP officials were corrupt. Democrats narrowly won both seats in the conservative state, handing the party unified control of Congress and paving the way for an ideologically unleashed Biden Administration.

Now the former President is threatening aloud that he might repeat this act of electoral sabotage in the next national elections. “If we don’t solve the Presidential Election Fraud of 2020 (which we have thoroughly and conclusively documented),” Mr. Trump said in a statement Wednesday, “Republicans will not be voting in ‘22 or ‘24. It is the single most important thing for Republicans to do.”

What’s notable isn’t that Mr. Trump continues to deny his election defeat and push for increasingly futile “audits” that will go nowhere. Mr. Trump will never admit he lost. Democrats have already used Mr. Trump’s election denial against the GOP to great effect in their California gubernatorial recall rout and are now wielding it in what has become a tight Virginia Governor’s race.

Mr. Trump’s escalation is that he is now explicitly tying Republican acceptance of his election fantasy to a threat of electing Democrats as retribution. The message to Republicans is that if they don’t loudly pretend that he won the last election, Mr. Trump will make sure the GOP loses the next one, too.

Refusal to accept election outcomes in modern American politics is not unique to Mr. Trump. Much of the Democratic Party and intellectual class did not accept the legitimacy of Mr. Trump’s 2016 victory. Stacey Abrams, the celebrated Georgia gubernatorial candidate, has still refused to concede that she lost in 2018. In 2021 congressional Democrats initiated an effort to overturn a certified Iowa House race before thinking better of it. One crucial difference between Mr. Trump and those Democrats is that Democrats would never be self-defeating enough to try to leverage their election gripes against the interests of their own voters. Democrats have endorsed and amplified Ms. Abrams’s fictions of a stolen election to turn out more Democratic voters so that progressive policies might prevail in the future.

Mr. Trump’s calculus works differently. When his ego is on the line, his voters’ interests are secondary. He might not like it if progressives control government and choke off American energy production or bludgeon social-media companies to censor conservatives. But his priority is that GOP candidates show obeisance to his claims that he was robbed in November. And he’s willing to help Democrats if Republicans refuse or even stay silent.

He says Republicans must agree the 2020 election was stolen or he’ll aid the Democrats. We wrote after the Georgia runoffs: “We hope Republicans keep Mr. Trump’s contribution to these defeats in mind over the next two years as their taxes and energy costs rise, as woke cultural mandates rain down from Washington, and as more of the economy comes under political control.”

All of that is happening. With the Biden Administration’s polarizing overreach, the 2022 elections are an opportunity for the GOP to retake Congress and check the divisive progressive assault on the U.S. economy and law. But that was also true of the 2021 Georgia races. Mr. Trump may not be finished making his supporters pay for his narcissism.

Trump ordered to give deposition in 2015 case involving alleged assault during Trump Tower demonstration
(CNN)A New York judge has ordered former President Donald Trump to sit for a video deposition next week in a case involving an alleged assault during a 2015 demonstration outside of Trump Tower.

State Supreme Court Judge Doris Gonzalez has ordered Trump to appear for the deposition on Monday morning at the Trump Organization headquarters in New York City, "or in the event of illness or emergency," on another agreed upon date before the month's end.
CNN has reached out to attorneys for Trump for comment. The deposition comes two years after a New York appeals court judge paused an earlier ruling ordering Trump's deposition.
...

The ruling is at least the second time a judge has ordered Trump to sit for a deposition since he left office, after Trump successfully postponed several lawsuits while he was president.
A different New York judge earlier this month ordered Trump to answer questions under oath by December 23 in the defamation lawsuit brought by former "The Apprentice" contestant Summer Zervos. Zervos accused Trump of defamation when he denied her allegations of sexual assault. Trump has denied the assault.

The longer Trump parades about, it only damages the GOP. This has to be a good thing right?
 
Yes; Trump under oath is a train wreck waiting to happen. In addition, he has burned through any good lawyers so he is likely to get bad legal advice.

Hard to tell, he keeps taking them right and they keep following. At what point do Republicans say this is too far? Hasn't happened yet.
 
All I wish for is that Trumpets refuse to vote because they can't vote for their Orange Goblet. As long as it causes more votes to be lost/wasted.. How can the GOP hope to win from the position they are in? Biden really needs to stink it up for that to happen.

In really sick of how messed up the world has got the last few years. Time for a positive decade!
 
Trump sues U.S. House committee investigating Jan. 6 attack on Capitol

WASHINGTON, Oct 18 (Reuters) - Former President Donald Trump on Monday sued the U.S. congressional committee investigating the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol, claiming members made an illegal request for his White House records.

Trump, in a lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, asserted that materials sought by the House of Representatives committee are covered by a legal doctrine known as executive privilege, which protects the confidentiality of some White House communications.

"The Committee's requests are unprecedented in their breadth and scope and are untethered from any legitimate legislative purpose," Trump's lawyer Jesse Binnall wrote in the lawsuit.

Committee members Liz Cheney, a Republican from Wyoming, and Bennie Thompson, a Democrat from Mississippi, said in a written statement issued in response to Trump's lawsuit that the former president was seeking to "delay and obstruct" their investigation.

Depends on the payday. Could be career ending taking, and losing for a Trump! I certainly wouldn't want to use a lawyer who had been anywhere near him.

Or maybe it is a win? There's enough Trump Followers that will want to be close to their leader and use such a lawyer to defend their own crimes?
 
Some may do it for ideology, some may get their salary from somewhere else. I do doubt that Donny pays anything after all.

But answer me this: Isn't parliamentary oversight one of the basic tasks of a parliament? Who is he suing here exactly? Because the committee got implemented by the house of representatives which was elected by the American people... It's more of a legality check, suing implies they did something wrong which they didn't for sure - as again, oversight is the point of the parliament... I'll never get the US way of thinking I guess ;-).
