I have little faith they’ll rise to the occasion, but if Trump is unwilling to concede it will be important for elected Republicans to publicly pressure him to do so https://t.co/VK5JohiXQA

Trump’s defeat provides key Republicans with yet another offramp from the craziness. They haven’t yet shown any indication they’ll take it. https://t.co/1QKhVFZbej

Former Attorney General Elliot Richardson, in an appearance before the Senate Judiciary Committee, says Nixon should drop the privilege claim and that he "see's no other way of this juncture of providing the re-assurance necessary to the Congress and the American People."

I'm sorry, what was that again? Closest contest in modern Presidential history?I get that the media elites hate the president but realize that over 68 million Americans voted for him, in what has to be one of the closest contest in modern presidential history. While you gleefully celebrate his demise you are also insulting those who supported him.

And Biden is winning the popular vote, too. As the saying goes: you're entitled to your own opinion; you are not entitled to your own facts.It remains very possible that Biden will earn 306 electoral votes, precisely the number Trump earned in 2016 before faithless electors.

As I was saying....Trump poll watchers have been observing Philadelphia's ballot processing & counting since 7am Tues, according to Al Schmidt, a GOP member of the city's election board. The ballot counting has been live-streamed the entire time: https://t.co/W5UBXefDaE https://t.co/4tjsMZmFP5

OTOH: Sweet!It wasn’t populous Fulton or DeKalb counties that pushed Joe Biden ahead in Georgia. It was Clayton, the area long represented by John Lewis, the late civil rights icon.@bluestein on how the heart of Lewis’ district dealt a blow to President Trump: https://t.co/6xZCTO4ZZM

David Bossie, I have a suspicion he's not a great litigator.
ReplyDeleteA few words from Wikipedia:
ReplyDelete"David Norman Bossie (born November 1, 1965) is an American political activist. Since 2000, he has been president and chairman of conservative advocacy group Citizens United and in 2016, Bossie was the deputy campaign manager to the Donald Trump presidential campaign.
"Subsequently Bossie had a falling out with the Trump campaign and administration in May 2019 after Axios reported that Bossie had been accused by the Internal Revenue Service of defrauding political donors by funneling their donations to himself through consultants and book sales. In January 2020 he returned to prominent association with the Trump administration as a strategic ally to help contest the impeachment of Donald Trump based on his past familiarity with impeachment battles."
He's not a lawyer, either. No idea why he's heading the legal team, except a real lawyer (like Baker) was not available.
Maybe they figure he'd be a good guy to funnel the donations they, no doubt, are already soliciting from the suckers. He had something to do with the purple heart stickers against Kerry, didn't he?
