"Trump wanted the attorneys to argue there was mass election fraud and that the election was stolen from him rather than focus on the legality of convicting a president after he's left office." Hahahahahaha, idiot.

cnn.com/2021/01/30/pol…
The GOP isn't going to convict anyway, but re-running the election fraud claims that some of them have admitted are bullshit instead of going with the legality argument that most of them have already been publicly making? Just super genius strategy.
Trump finally found some lawyers who wouldn't humiliate themselves and torch their professional reputations by parroting his paranoid fantasias about election fraud.
He'll never do it, but it would be something. Like "Mr. Smith Goes to Bizarro Washington."

"He's the only one who can sell it." Honestly, a few days of Trump ranting on the floor of the Senate about debunked voter fraud theories would be the one thing that might turn a few more senators against him. Bannon remains an idiot.

"I don't want to cause a panic" is such a perfect distillation of the shittiness of Trump's leadership during this crisis.
Like, there's middle ground between "it will go away on its own" and "EVERYBODY PANIC" and Trump is just too insanely stupid and self-absorbed to find it.
So he chose the "who are you going to believe, me or your lying eyes" approach, and when people could see that their eyes were not lying, they panicked. And he spends months not getting how this contradiction is hurting him.

No need to worry about the coronavirus now that the Dauphin of Livingston, New Jersey is on the case.
It just can't be pointed out enough that during this pandemic, the biggest concern the President of the United States has is its effect on his re-election chances.
Definitely talking to the people with their fingers on New York's pulse, good job.

Congrats to the happy woman and her thousand-year-old undead fiance.

It's a safe bet the wedding will be after sundown to avoid the whole "groom bursts into flames in sunlight" problem.
Might I recommend a honeymoon spot that will accomodate the groom's habit of sleeping upside down in a cocoon of his own wings.

He blocked me but maybe @jwpetersnyt would like to know that Gina Anders, the Republican businesswoman he interviewed who still likes Trump, is not your ordinary suburban GOP voter! Come along to a couple of links I found in 5 seconds on Google! 1/x
Here's a story from a West Virginia paper two months ago that IDs Anders as a zealous Tea Party type who, while living in the area, founded something called the Liberty Political Action Committee.

And here is part of Anders's bio on the Liberty PAC website, where she calls herself "an avid liberty activist."
