    If Putin loses like some other looser we know, wonder if he will crow about the stolen victory.

    People like that never "lose". The orange clown is a perfect
    example. Whatever happens declare victory.

    Evidence mounts of GOP involvement in Trump election schemes

    "WASHINGTON (AP) — Rioters who smashed their way into the U.S. Capitol
    on Jan. 6, 2021, succeeded — at least temporarily — in delaying the certification of Joe Biden’s election to the White House.

    Hours before, Rep. Jim Jordan had been trying to achieve the same thing.

    Texting with then-White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, a close ally
    and friend, at nearly midnight on Jan. 5, Jordan offered a legal
    rationale for what President Donald Trump was publicly demanding — that
    Vice President Mike Pence, in his ceremonial role presiding over the
    electoral count, somehow assert the authority to reject electors from
    Biden-won states.

    Pence “should call out all electoral votes that he believes are unconstitutional as no electoral votes at all,” Jordan wrote.

    “I have pushed for this,” Meadows replied. “Not sure it is going to happen.”

    The text exchange, in an April 22 court filing from the congressional
    panel investigating the Jan. 6 riot, is in a batch of startling evidence
    that shows the deep involvement of some House Republicans in Trump’s desperate attempt to stay in power. A review of the evidence finds new
    details about how, long before the attack on the Capitol unfolded,
    several GOP lawmakers were participating directly in Trump’s campaign to reverse the results of a free and fair election."

    You gotta' feel sorry for the poor orange fool. He's just having a terrible time getting his "messaging" out. So far his most important
    message seems to be, "Covfefe". That must be one of those *special*
    double secret messages for the true believers. While his stock is
    getting ready to make rocks look slow.

    "Wall Street traders are telling me they can’t wait for the Securities
    and Exchange Commission to give the green light to Digital World
    Acquisition Corp., the shell company holding former President Donald
    Trump’s new right-wing Twitter alternative named “Truth Social.”

    And it’s not because they like the stock.

    Traders are already eyeing the so-called Special Purpose Acquisition
    Corp., or SPAC, for the mother of all shorts, betting that shares will eventually fall to penny-stock levels ($5 or less). Part of the
    pessimism stems from Truth Social’s lousy rollout; it has been plagued
    by technological glitches and management upheaval since its February
    launch.

    But the possible nail in the coffin for Truth Social is Tesla founder
    Elon Musk’s bid to take over Twitter. With a net worth of around $250 billion, Musk has agreed to plunk down $44 billion to purchase the
    financially troubled but influential micro-blogger, making a
    right-leaning Twitter ­alternative like Truth Social largely obsolete."

    I don't think any of our local idiots ever met a sociopath that
    they recognized. It's more common than most folks realize. One of the
    things you can count on with the full blown sociopaths is that they
    never do anything unless there's something in it for them. The orange
    idiot figures his tweets or "truths" or whatever you want to call them
    are worth money. I don't think the idiot is going back into big time
    "tweeting" again unless and until there's obviously something in it for
    him. The kicker here is that I don't think he's running for office again
    for the same reason. There's really nothing in it for him. He will
    pretend he's running as long as he can because he loves the attention.
