I think the problem is, Twitter is still letting him post this shit.

There is massive evidence of widespread fraud in the four states (plus) mentioned in the Texas suit. Just look at all of the tapes and affidavits!

Or Kayleigh McEnany waving thick sheafs of paper on FoxNews!

You know, I wasn’t sure about this rigged election stuff. But McEnany waving around paper on Hannity’s show for the umpteenth time sold me. https://t.co/WYm12rqmzn

PROOF!

No candidate has ever won both Florida and Ohio and lost. I won them both, by a lot! #SupremeCourt

Nope.

This is just too easily fact checked. Nixon won Florida and Ohio in 1960 and lost. https://t.co/h3MZshNUhV pic.twitter.com/TLC8UkREXN

By the way, how did the massive and well-coordinated conspiracy to rig the vote miss those two states?

No court in the history of the U.S. has ever overturned an election. The closest they got, in recent memory, was Bush v. Gore, which simply decided an election by stopping a recount based on the "safe harbor" date (which is why we call it a "safe harbor" this year. Never heard that term before.) Overturn? Literally not something courts do: period. There's a reason the Court dismissed the PA appeal with one unsigned sentence. I expect a similar order by Friday.

Trump is frantic because his ego refuses to accept that he lost.  He's also frantic because as avenues of appeal disappear his ability to raise funds for legal challenges (which actually just go to his slush fund PAC) begins to diminish.  It's some catch, that Catch-22.  Meanwhile, the real crazy is Michael Flynn who, being pardoned, now considers himself above the law.

“So imagine the transition of the entire country, the United States of America, and here you have this sort of transition conversation between two incoming and outgoing presidents and they mention two people: dear leader Kim Jong Un and Gen. Michael Flynn,” Flynn complained. “I’m public enemy number one. One of these days, I would like somebody to pin him down and ask him.”

“And he should have been afraid of me and he still should be afraid,” he added. “Obama talking about me is outrageous. I will not give him any more time on your show.”

Methinks the Secret Service would not be amiss in paying Mr. Flynn a social call.  One also recalls that his lawyer is Sidney Powell.

“All these people that worry about the 8th of December [or] the 14th of December, you know, there’s really only one date that really matters right now and that’s the inauguration date,” he opined. “And if you ask Mike Flynn on a scale of one to 10 who’s going to be the next president, I’ll tell you that it’s 10 and it’s going to be Donald Trump.”

And again, the Secret Service and the FBI might want to talk to Mr. Flynn.
