It might be easier to just get himself declared Pope, which is a job for life. He'd be a freaking hilarious Pope.

Trump's high-priced lawyers lay out their plan
The world giggles and tosses insults
Wish we could have done that for the House Impeachment process.
Some of us did.

I am pretty optimistic that this will not happen.

We can laugh at this but it’s far riskier than the legal challenge route.
He doesn’t need the law on his side for much of this, just corrupt legislators and bureaucrats that will destroy democracy for him. I’m afraid those won’t be hard to find.
Are you saying you actually read this?

Georgia:
News release by Georgia’s Secretary of State: “HISTORIC FIRST STATEWIDE AUDIT OF PAPER BALLOTS UPHOLDS RESULT OF PRESIDENTIAL RACE”

QAnon is a huge deal, maybe it'll replace racism. They'll have something in common, I'll only have encountered through my life people that condemn and ridicule them. Someday I'll see evil, I suppose. I know for a fact that I see stupid, but it's not of the QAnon or racism variety. Oh, you people.

Excerpts from this morning's CNN editorial:
"Until either President Donald Trump admits defeat and calls off his minions or the GOP admits his defeat and acknowledges that Joe Biden is the President-elect, you've still got to hold your breath a little bit.
<snip>
"The multi-pronged conspiracy is not millions more voters choosing Biden. It's the expanding effort to overturn results in at least three states and undo a solid electoral defeat. It would be sad and funny if it weren't quite literally about ignoring the voters to keep Trump in power.
"And so it's extremely distressing that Trump is on the phone with Republican officials who now say they want to rescind their certification of votes in Wayne County, which covers Detroit -- a step that is normally just a technicality.
"It's also aggravating that a mid-level political appointee, GSA Administrator Emily Murphy, won't take the next step -- another technicality, "ascertainment" -- needed to let Biden's transition begin.
Anxiety is starting to rise in unexpected places. JP Morgan, for instance, is laying out the nightmare scenario for investors. As CNN's Matt Egan wrote:
Much of Wall Street views the Trump campaign's efforts to overturn the election results as a desperate sideshow destined to fail. But JPMorgan is telling clients there's still a chance that this process descends into chaos. It is 2020, after all.
"Michael Cembalest, chairman of market and investment strategy at JPMorgan Asset Management, warned in a report Wednesday of the "remote risk of an American horror story" and "constitutional mayhem."

%%%%%%%That first sentence resonates.
I keep thinking of Trump saying, "I always find a way to win."

@Horace - It’s a safe bet that, with your comfortable blue-tribe job and blue-tribe neighborhood, your life will remain Q-anon feee. Racism is still likely to come for you, unfortunately.
But to be fair, Williamson’s comments were a response to the news conference given by Trump’s team.

I'm amazed how many people downplay what Trump is doing, as though it's all perfectly normal and acceptable.
When a few of us said a few months ago that we could envisage that Trump wouldn't accept the election result and try to cling to power, I seem to remember being laughed at.
This country is nuts.
Proud supporter of Plan 2525. Everything you think, do and say will be in the pill you took today.

As I sit here in my bunker with my AK-47 as incoming whizzes over my head, i say Jesus Phibes was so right. How could I have been so naive to think when I woke up in the morning it would be like every other morning in my life.

Six months ago I made the specific predictions (1) that he would fight to disqualify whole classes of legal votes and (2) he would attempt to get states to overturn democratic results and appoint competing electors.
I was called ‘delusional’, and what I was saying was ‘nonsense’ and ‘literally insane’.
