Oh look, the Sore Loser Team finally got their plan together. I think when it was reported that they went on a search for their James Baker elder statesman to run the team and came up with ratfucking operative David Bossie we knew that something had gone wrong. This is even worse than I thought it was going to be:
President Trump plans to brandish obituaries of people who supposedly voted but are dead — plus hold campaign-style rallies — in an effort to prolong his fight against apparent insurmountable election results, four Trump advisers told me during a conference call this afternoon.
Obits for those who cast ballots are part of the “specific pieces of evidence” aimed at bolstering the Trump team’s so-far unsupported claims of widespread voter fraud and corruption that they say led to Joe Biden’s victory.
Fueling the effort is the expected completion of vote counting this week, allowing Republicans to file for more recounts.
Team Trump is ready to announce specific recount teams in key states, and it plans to hold a series of Trump rallies focused on the litigation.
Let’s unpack that. Trump is going to hold a bunch more superspreader rallies and brandish obituaries? In the middle of the pandemic? Is this some kind of joke?
I would ask what they think this will accomplish but the answer is obviously nothing. It’s to placate the man-baby who is having hismelf a good old-fashioned pout and needs to be bucked up because he didn’t get what he wanted.
Meanwhile, here’s the rest of the ridiculous plan. Do they really believe they can overturn the results in all these states? Because that’s what they have to do to win.
In Georgia: Doug Collins, the outgoing congressman who lost to Sen. Kelly Loeffler in a special election to fill former Sen. Johnny Isakson’s seat, will be leading the campaign’s recount efforts. The team has also redeployed 92 staffers from Florida to Georgia, doubling its group on the ground.
In Arizona: Kory Langhofer, former counsel for Trump’s 2016 transition, will serve as lead attorney.
In Pennsylvania: Porter Wright’s Ron Hicks is heading up the legal effort.
Nationwide: They’re assembling additional surrogates and lawyers.
“We want to make sure we have an adequate supply of manpower on the ground for man-to-man combat,” one adviser said.
The group is also staffing a campaign-style media operation.The team led by Trump communications director Tim Murtaugh is now a surrogate messaging center. It will pump out “regular press briefings, releases on legal action and obviously things like talking points and booking people strategically on television,” one adviser said.
They’ll also make a big play to raise money for their legal defense fund.
Trump’s formal legal team includes 2020 campaign manager Bill Stepien, lawyer Justin Clark, and senior advisers Jason Miller and David Bossie.
Reps. Jim Jordan and Scott Perry, as well as former White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus, are also advising.
Trump’s team claims there is “no daylight” between them and the White House — chiefly senior adviser Jared Kushner and current Chief of Staff Mark Meadows.
“We all have the same goal in mind, which is using the legal process over the next many days and weeks ahead to make sure that the president is re-elected,” one adviser said.
It’s hard to believe they’re going to actually attempt this but I guess they are. It’s just pathetic. Donald Trump can’t accept that he lost so they’re going to put the country through a bunch of bullshit, spend a ton of money that doesn’t have to be spent all because he’s such a narcissistic imbecile that he can’t accept that he lost.
It’s a miracle we survived the last four years.
