Trump tweets: want to thank Emily Murphy at GSA for her steadfast dedication and loyalty to our Country. She has been harassed, threatened, and abused – and I do not want to see this happen to her, her family, or employees of GSA. Our case STRONGLY continues, we will keep up the good fight, and I believe we will prevail! Nevertheless, in the best interest of our Country, I am recommending that Emily and her team do what needs to be done with regard to initial protocols, and have told my team to do the same."

You know he didn't write that...

“I want to thank Emily Murphy at GSA for her steadfast dedication and loyalty to our Country…”

“Translation: “I want to thank Emily for her great loyalty to me and NOT the country… and from this moment on she is DEAD to me!”
 
According to Georgia SoS Raffensperger, Trump suppressed Republican mail vote which cost him that state. There were about 24,000 Republicans who voted absentee in the June primary who did not vote at all in November. That’s a lot more than Biden’s margin of victory. I wonder if the same happened in other swing states.

Trump Lost in Georgia after Depressing GOP Mail-In Vote, Secretary of State Raffensperger Claims

One theory is that attacking John Lewis may have cost him Georgia, attacking John McCain may have cost him Arizona, attacking Gretchen Whitmer may have cost him Michigan… Shorter version: Being an asshole cost him the election.

Are they done the latest recount yet? I swear Biden has won Georgia so many times he might have to legally change his name to William T. Sherman.

Well, it didn't help. Donald Trump is a man who really knows how to make enemies. But he still got over 70,000,000 votes, so the country is chock full of assholes who basically didn't give a shit.
 
Well what a sigh of relief. This is really over and Joe Biden is the president elect no matter what anyone says. In the next few days others will come around and accept the reality. Some sooner than later and others later than sooner but that doesn’t matter. And no one expects Donald Trump to say much and certainly not to concede but that too doesn’t matter. Donald is as Donald does so Donald has gained a new privilege, the privilege to be ignored. The finger pointing will now begin, republicans pointing the finger at each other over Rudy Giuliani, over baseless lawsuits, over Trump’s handling of the pandemic.

I PREDICT TRUMP’S FUTURE.... Donald Trump will not run in 2024 but instead Donald Trump will do what Donald Trump does best, social media. I predict that Donald Trump will establish a news organization outdoing Fox News and heavily reliant on pressing conspiracy theories. Donald Trump’s media monster that he will create will become the voice of the Republican Party. Every republican candidate will be required to kneel at Donald Trump’s feet. Donald Trump’s media monster will become the gold standard for republican politics and every wannabe candidate running under the Republican brand must first pass through and receive Donald Trump’s blessing or that wannabe candidate won’t have a chance in hell. What will shock the political establishment will be the all encompassing power of that Trump media monster. It will change politics forever and Democrats will have no choice but to play into the game. Just imagine Fox News on steroids where anything and everything republican must first pass through the golden gates of Trump media. Donald Trump will not need to run in 2024, what Donald Trump will establish will be much more powerful than any president. And the only approval needed will be from those 73 million plus of Donald Trump loyalists. No accountability, no Nancy Pelosi, no CNN nor MSNBC. Donald Trump’s power with become American politics.

What you may not realize is that Trump doesn't want to do much work. If he establishes a media "empire" he's not gonna do much to direct or power it other than tweet. He'd rather play golf, watch TV, eat, screw his wife de jure.

"...what Donald Trump will establish will be much more powerful than any president." <--- That's nonsense. Trump's been exploiting one thing more than anything else for the last 4 years and that's the power of the presidency. He's going to lose that on Jan. 20. After that, he'll be so much noise until he dies. The Republican Party has shit stained itself and won't recover.

North Carolina, more than any other state, had me puzzled as to what the pollsters and pundits were smoking prior to the election. Over the years, I've spent a bit of time in your fair state and nothing suggested to me that voters there would choose a Biden-like candidate over a Trump.
