Has anyone floated the idea that Diaper Don is refusing to concede because he thinks it'll help shield him from legal issues once he's out of office by saying he's forever President?

Ok, it seems hairbrained, but at this stage, this must be the main reason, with the other reason being he's raised $200MM that he's not spending on legal challenges, largely.

* "An air-conditioning repairman was driving his truck through Houston in late October when a black SUV suddenly slammed into his tail. When he got out, the SUV’s driver leaped out and pointed a gun at his head, police said.

When police arrived, the gunman offered an incredible tale: The driver, he said, was the face of a vast election-fraud scheme and had about 750,000 fake ballots stuffed inside his truck.

That story was totally bogus, police now say. The man’s truck was full of nothing but A/C parts, and the gunman — Mark Anthony Aguirre, a former Houston Police Department captain — had been paid more than $250,000 by a right-wing organization to pursue far-fetched voter-fraud conspiracy theories.

On Tuesday, Aguirre was arrested and charged with felony aggravated assault with a deadly weapon as part of a “bogus voter-fraud conspiracy,” the Harris County District Attorney’s Office said in a news release.

Because this is Texas, the story gets even better:

Police said that Aguirre had received $266,400 from the Liberty Center for God and Country, a Houston-based organization funded by Republican megadonors. The group’s chief executive is Steven Hotze, a prominent Texas right-wing activist who joined other GOP activists in the ballot lawsuit filed in late October.

The group hired twenty private investigators on behalf of God and country! Aguirre made $260,000 on this nonsense.

Seems Aguirre called the Texas AG to ask them to do a traffic stop, but they said they couldn't get involved. Aguirre responded that he would stop the car himself and perform a citizen's arrest.

This involved the former cop ramming the poor guy's truck, kneeling on the guy's back and holding a gun on him while his associates searched the truck and drove it away. Guess what? No proof of anything!

This is what Trump and the Q nuts have done to America: Conspiracy theories are now "facts."

Geez, what are the odds that this tool would have the same name, including middle name, as the former NBA great?

Reminds me of the Pizzagaters, which isn't surprising since it's basically the same people. These people don't have the ability to learn, which is very sad.
 
'It's turned crazy': Inside the scramble for Trump pardons

Since Trump lost the election six weeks ago, calls and emails have been flooding into the West Wing from people looking to benefit from the President's powers of clemency. So inundated is Trump's staff with requests for pardons or commutations that a spreadsheet has been created to keep track of the requests directed to Trump's close aides.
...
Because Trump has shown little interest in using the Justice Department's Pardon Attorney system for assessing requests for executive clemency, petitioners are approaching the White House directly, calling or emailing senior adviser Jared Kushner, chief of staff Mark Meadows or White House counsel Pat Cipollone -- when they can't get ahold of Trump himself.

"Everyone assumed there's no formal process and they should reach out to the administration directly," the person said. "Everyone hopes they have a friend of a friend of a friend of a cousin who they hope will get them to read their email."

If there is a governing principle in who appears most likely to secure clemency, it is someone the President either knows personally or who has powerful connections lobbying on their behalf. At least one person working on behalf of clients seeking pardons said they hoped their loyalty to Trump over the past four years would pay off now.

I would love to read some of the requests.

"Yes, I would like the President to pardon me from paying taxes ever again."

In the words of Jimmy Kimmel....Biden should get an additional 4 years every time he beats Trump...he's beat him half a dozen times at least since Nov 3
 
Rand Paul accidentally blurted out why Republicans don't like increased voter turnout

Every few months or so, some ghoulish Republican luminary accidentally admits that their party's stranglehold on the various levers of power in this country is entirely predicated on preventing people — usually from marginalized communities — from voting. And while this is hardly a surprise, given the time and energy the GOP has put into disenfranchising voters on the federal, state, and local levels, it's still something of a perverse thrill to hear them actually say the words out loud, and give voice to the unspoken understanding that Republicans cannot stand the idea of more people voting. The GOP's most recent accidental truth-teller is none other than Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, a questionably qualified physician who has taken President Trump's electoral drubbing about as well as the rest of the Republican Party — which is to say, he's gone all-in on MAGA conspiracy theories designed to cast doubt on the objective fact that Joe Biden is indeed the president-elect.

...

Among the major issues for Paul is the fact that people are being mailed solicitations to file absentee ballots, which seems like a pretty reasonable idea if you believe that 1) increased voter participation is inherently good for democracy, and 2) limiting exposure to a deadly virus in the midst of a pandemic is inherently good for staying alive.

Paul, evidently, doesn't ascribe to either notion. He told Bartiromo that "I’m very, very concerned that if you solicit votes from typically non-voters, that you will affect and change the outcome."

Note that he did not say increasing voter turnout would "increase likelihood of fraud" (itself a bogus assertion), just that it would "change the outcome," which is a cagey way of saying "I won't like what happens." And those "typically non-voters" Paul is so worried about? While he doesn't say so outright, let's remember that Georgia is arguably ground zero for Republican voter suppression efforts that largely target Black and Latinx communities.

Put simply, Paul is carrying on in the Grand Ol' Party's grand ol' tradition of accidentally admitting that the more people who vote, the worse it is for Republicans. And frankly, he should be commended for his honesty. It's more than most of his colleagues can muster these days.​

Look what happened when they started letting dogs vote.
 
I can’t believe they’re about to pass a new stimulus for just $600

That’s about 9 cents a day since the last check.

it seems more like a Christmas stimulus than actually helping people out who are behind on rent, car payments, hungry, etc bc of this pandemic

You're surprised that a government run by people who don't give two shits about poor people, that they're basically giving people pennies?
