Trump is the first president ever to increase his vote but still lose an election. It's no wonder 70% of Americans, including Democrats, believe that corruption has been massive.

Ttbn,

Dumb-dumb. Trump lost partly because Biden got even more votes than he did, plus of course that Biden got the Electoral College vote (in a landslide) and that's how it works. Either way, Biden got more votes.

Sorry, mate, there probably aren't all that many half-wits who follow OLO, and would swallow your 'biggest vote ever' stuff. Some read newspapers and watch the news on TV. But you never know your luck :)

Joe

Hi Joe

Good luck trying to edge ttbn into the realisation Trump Lost Fair And Square.

ttbn repeats his mantras "Trump was robbed" and "anti-Covid measures bad for business"

so often that ttbn believes his own BS.

Will 2021 bring back ttbn's brain?

I think not.

The Supreme Court of the United States of America seems to be trying to avoid ruling on critical issues by delaying consideration until they are out of time.

They're copying the Australian Legal system when it leans towards the vicim.

Sorry, but to get a court to act one needs actual evidence! Trump and his keystone clowns have tried to get republican appointed judges in republican states to help them steal an election. And failed because they had no credible evidence.

Yes, Trump got a record turnout, but Biden beat that by 5 million votes. There was some evidence of fraud? But subsequent recounts seem to have increased the Biden vote. Which seems to very strongly suggest that all the skullduggery was being done by Trump supporters? A special counsel at this point? More of that same insane skullduggery!?

A special counsel would seem to be clutching at straws but may allow trump to harvest more money from his self-deluded, cult leader worship base and by all accounts, as millions, he can squirrel away in his private accounts?

Read the fine print, Trump acolyte! If you lose your shirt? Who are you going to blame? Only one fool you can point to and that's the guy or gal in the mirror! Ha, ha, ha. Serves you right, dummy!
Alan B.

Speaking of the "many half-wits who follow OLO", old Joe and Plantagenet are still under the impression that they have been ordained to rubbish any opinions they don't hold with. This is not a debating society you clowns. We 'full wits' are not interested your opinions of our opinions.

Dear ell indi and ttbn Der Delusional TrumpenGroupies (DDTs)

As you've been loyal Trumpsters for 4 long years I begrudge a late Chrissie present for each of youse.

Dear David,

.

You ask :

« Will Trump's Petition – like so many cases contesting the election result in other jurisdictions - be dismissed because it was lodged too late? »
.

I don’t see that as a problem for Trump (alias Captain Ahab), David. As long as the money keeps rolling in, he will have attained his objective :

plantagenet,
You mean a Harris New Year ! I'm just glad the second decade is over & hope the third decade will turn away from nonsense & turn towards common sense.

Weird article! You say the inaction could trigger appointment of special counsel, but you don't explain how, nor what that special counsel could do.

Trump lost the election. He's not going to win it in the courts no matter how fast they act.

OLO is blessed with so many people, whose intelligence is usually otherwise either questioned or laughed away, who know so much more about the US Constitution than the US Supreme Court justices whose duty is supposed to be to interpret it.

Thank goodness that the citizens of Betoota and Oodnagalarby can give us the enormous benefits of their wisdom.

Excellent idea Joe :)

"TRUMP DENIES SELLING WHITE HOUSE FIXTURES On eBay

As Trump continues to publicly deny his election defeat, White House officials say that behind closed doors he is preparing for a hasty departure, with a number of fixtures and fittings recently disappearing, only to reappear later on online auction sites.

“I don’t know how he is getting away with it” said an unnamed source.

“The desk in the Oval Office has been replaced with a door balanced on milk crates. Everybody has noticed but nobody wants to say anything.”

“The other day I saw Trump unloading copper wiring from the boot of the presidential limo at the scrapyard and now the lights in the West Wing don’t work anymore”.

Reports from Washington suggest the Secret Service has been instructed to move electronics and furniture from the White House into U-Haul trucks and detain anyone who enquires about the operation.

When confronted, the President denied any knowledge of the allegations.

“This is just the fake news media trying to make me look bad. It’s true. That’s what they are doing,” he said, casually leaning on the door/milk crate desk.

“It’s all fake news. I don’t know anything about Operation Ransack. I’ve never even heard that word before. Ransack? Why did I even bring it up? I don’t know, it’s some sort of media trick.”

“They’re just trying to discredit me. Fake news is all it is. I don’t know anything about Operation Ransack, or ebay user GreatestPOTUS_69 or any missing light fittings. What light fittings?”

Hi Pete,

There's a lot of fake news outlets around, Fox, Sky, RT, etc., but I'll swear by the Betoota Advocate, it's never been wrong.

Whilst waiting to see if a special counsel gets appointed, a special bard from Texas with English and some German ancestry, along with more distant Dutch, Welsh, Irish, French, and Scottish roots, is here to entertain us during the festive season :

REPUBLICAN SENATE DISTANCING ITSELF FROM TRUMP

Good news David, ttbn and indi

Reported today "Republican-led US Senate defies Donald Trump for first time in four years,

overrides defence bill veto."

CONGRESS TO VOTE (7 Jan Our Time) ON ELECTORAL COLLEGE DECISION

Here's hoping the Republican-led Senate continues to vote on constitutional principle

"At least 140 Republicans in Congress are expected to support President Trump’s bid to overturn

the results of the Electoral College next week.

The Jan. 6 [US time] vote is likely to fail and divide Republicans as President-elect

Joe Biden prepares to take office Jan. 20.

...Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) strongly discouraged [Republican] colleagues

from objecting [to the Electoral College decision], saying it would be a “terrible” vote for

Republicans because some would oppose Trump. Senate Majority Whip John Thune (R-SD) told

reporters a challenge would “go down like a shot dog....""

DONALD TRUMP PRESSURED GEORGIA ELECTION OFFICIAL TO CHANGE RESULTS, WASHINGTON POST REPORTS

Hiya Davo, ttbn and indi

Here's the Trump ON AUDIO

at http://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-01-04/donald-trump-pushes-georgia-election-official-to-change-results/13029140

trying to pervert the 3rd Nov Election result in Georgia by THREATENING an Election Official.
___________________________

See http://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-01-04/donald-trump-pushes-georgia-election-official-to-change-results/13029140 of 4 Jan 2021:

"US President Donald Trump pressured Georgia's top election official to "find" enough votes to overturn his defeat in the state, according to audio of a [2 January 2021] phone call obtained by the Washington Post..."
____________________________

So why have you backed Trump's story, with your quasi-legal arguments since the Election?

Hi Pete,

Trumpf may be able to pardon himself for any crimes against federal law, BUT if he commits crimes against any state law, such as Georgia's, then he could be charged, tried and jailed.

Of course, if he is nicer to the Republican governor of Georgia, he might get pardoned :)

Nah.

Joe

Hi Joe

Yes Trump tries to pervert Electoral Laws in his favour, while Trump is desparately trying

to personally immunise himself from all laws forever.

Meanwhile Trump's OLO Sheep, including poor David, have tried and failed for 2 months

to establish Trump legally won the election.

Go figure?

Like Aidan comments, the article seems so desperate that it is incomplete i.e. neither explains nor has any compelling evidence been provided, hence, conspiracy theory?

Evidence of the 'Freedom Caucus', Trumpers', radical right 'libertarians', alt right and evangelical Christians' hero worship and reliance upon beliefs, while remaining in their own bubble..... or 'gated community'?
