NEW -- Lost in Trump's post-election lying is a basic fact: Most sitting presidents WIN re-election. Trump lost, and lost by 7 million votes.

So why are Republicans still afraid of one of the biggest losers in American presidential history?

huffpost.com/entry/trump-lo…
Here's Jennifer Horn, former chair of NH GOP: "This is the irrefutable truth: This was not a close election. Donald Trump is in the weakest position a politician could be in. He is a lame duck who lost big."
“Why are you afraid of him?” Horn said. “What is it exactly about this roundly defeated crazy person that is scaring you off?”
“Anyone in the Republican Party unwilling to stand up to him is too weak and lacks the strength of character to run for president to begin with,” she said. “If Donald Trump’s conspiratorial mutterings scare them, they shouldn’t be on the ballot.”

NEW -- Trump has been sending his millions of small-dollar donors dozens of texts and emails talking up the Georgia Senate runoffs.

So how much has Trump's "Save America" PAC reported spending on those races?

That would zero. Nothing. Nada.

huffpost.com/entry/trump-ge…
A HuffPost analysis of all “independent expenditures” reported to the Federal Election Commission through Thursday for the Jan. 5 election found that 114 different groups have spent $172.6 million in the two races that will determine control of the Senate for the next two years.
They range from the Senate Leadership Fund, the superPAC run by allies of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell that spent $31.3 million, to the tiny Ohio-based Heroes PAC, which spent $7,600 for digital ads on behalf of incumbent Republican Sens. David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler

The president spent $115,000 of taxpayer money today on jet fuel and amortized maintenance costs so he and his adults sons could fly from Camp David to his for-profit golf course in Northern Virginia and back.
It also forced Marine helicopter crews to spend the day away from their families over Thanksgiving weekend.
Sure, $115,000 is not much compared to the $3.4 million it costs taxpayers for each Mar-a-Lago golfing vacation (there have been 30 of those to date), but it's not nothing.

Meanwhile, Bannon has Pizzagate guy and Giuliani helping explain how Trump won a huge victory on "game day" is now "closing" on that victory.

Yes, it's every bit as insane as you would expect.
I mean, has @JackPosobiec looked for ballots in the basement at Comet Ping Pong?

If not, why not??
You people should be venmoing or substacking or whatever money to me for watching this idiocy so you don't have to.

Okay, Biden got 80 million votes. Fine.

Does he have anyone painting stuff like THIS about him??
This truly is something.

Does anyone know which human person did this? And how much time was involved? And what the significance of the bluebird is? Or the alien spaceship?
I mean, it sort of puts the messianic Trump artist guy to shame.

NEW -- A study by Stanford University researchers concluded that Trump rallies likely caused 30,000 new coronavirus cases and 700 additional deaths.

But Trump will do four dozen anyway, in the final weeks. Even though they are hurting him with voters.

huffpost.com/entry/trump-ra…
By wide margins, voters think these rallies are a terrible idea during a global pandemic.

58 % of likely voters nationally disapproved of Trump’s decision to hold large rallies, while only 34 % approved, according to a Suffolk University/USA Today poll conducted last week.
The Dem super PAC Priorities USA found similar results in the 6 states most likely to swing the election. In PA, where Trump staged four rallies Saturday, 58 percent said Trump’s rallies made them think less favorably of Trump, while only 22 percent more favorably.

A BRIEF DISSERTION ON TRUMP’S CORRUPTION:

One place where journalism clearly has failed us during the past four years is in describing Trump’s personal corruption. We’re trained to be cautious with pejorative words, so we didn’t want to use it. Trump took advantage of that.
When a lobbyist or CEO who wants something from the federal government books a hotel room or has a meal or buys a drink at Trump Hotel in DC, knowing full well that some of that money is going to wind up in Trump’s pocket, THAT IS CORRUPTION.
When Trump continues to accept money from lobbyists and CEOs who want something from the federal government, THAT IS CORRUPTION.
