Yet another lie - he has lost, but just can't bring himself to admit it.

 

Still, it will (hopefully, God willing) all be sorted out in the next week when the Electoral College votes.

New Yorker: Democracy Depends on Good Losers

"Show me a good loser and I’ll show you a loser,” Vince Lombardi, a New Yorker coach once said.

...[New Yorkers] can’t deny our own special traditions of sore losers.

...George Steinbrenner’s outrages and absurdities as the owner of the Yankees ... presented Trump with a model for taking over an American institution and trashing it at the same time.

Steinbrenner, whom Trump called “a great friend,” routinely pioneered new frontiers in poor sportsmanship, even berating his own best players.

...Steinbrenner’s quintessential sore-loser moment came in 1981 when, after the Dodgers beat the Yankees for a third straight game in the World Series, he claimed to have injured his hand beating up two much younger Dodger fans who had taunted him in an elevator—something that basically no one believed, assuming, instead, that he had punched a wall in a rage and hurt himself.

...That’s pretty much the working model for what Trump has done this month: lose, have a tantrum, and blame the opposition for his bruises.

The difference is that New York sportswriters were skeptical of Steinbrenner’s stories, but Republican leaders are not, or pretend not to be, skeptical of Trump’s lies...

And so, the columns and pixels this week have been filled with examples, meant to be tutelary, or shaming—but there’s no shaming Trump—of concession speeches past by gracious Presidential losers....

Don't you mean Covid19 tests positive for Giuliani?

As you would expect, Trump's tweet is more about "corruption" than about Rudy ...

The Washington Post - Georgia governor rebuffs Trump’s call for special session to overturn election results ...

 

breaking

 


Georgia’s governor will not call a special session of the state’s legislature to overturn the election results in President Trump’s favor, Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan (R) said Sunday.

 

In an interview on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Duncan said he “absolutely” believes that Gov. Brian Kemp (R) won’t accede to Trump’s demand that he persuade the state legislature to appoint electors who would override the popular vote and nullify President-elect Joe Biden’s victory in the state.

 

We’re certainly not going to move the goal posts at this point in the election,” Duncan said.

 

The lieutenant governor also weighed in on Trump’s Saturday night rally in the state. ...

 

Duncan said Trump’s fanning of the flames around misinformation was “concerning,” pointing to the president’s repeated false claims that he won the election and that the election was “stolen.”

 

The mountains of misinformation are not helping the process; they’re only hurting it,” Duncan said.

 

The lieutenant governor’s remarks came one day after Trump called Kemp to urge him to persuade the Georgia legislature to overturn Biden’s victory in the state and asked the governor to order an audit of absentee ballot signatures. ...

Perhaps Rudy catching the "Chinese virus" isn't a mistake

Self-declared 'dirty trickster' Roger Stone was pardoned by Trump.

"Rudy has become a liability, and needs to be taken care of. He's got dirt on us filed away, so you can't just fire him.

I've talked to his nurse-maid, who has family here illegally. For promise to stop a targeted ICE raid, she's willing to spray this special 'Wuhan cologne' on him while he sleeps.

Once he's out of the way, you can tweet it was the Chinese flu that side-lined him.

Everybody who's important wins.

Of course, I'll take care of the nurse-maid and family once they've outlived their usefulness."

Rudy won't get sick, he's a Replicant, same batch as Leon (pic).

 

Once they fix his brain oil leak, Rudy'll be as good as gold.

Even Giuiliani I cannot wish a painful death, but I do wish him a painful and protracted recovery, after which he gets a dose of reality and humility with a very big needle. I fully agree with the comments of State Senator Elena Parent in the article.

But added, bizarrely, that despite the admission, the accusations were fake and he would be suing those responsible. It remains unclear whether these remarks were in relation to the hospital, his illness, or something completely unrelated.
