Donald Trump, bitter and desperate, tries to tear America's house down

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Desperate, deluded and dangerous, President Donald Trump drove America deeper into a political abyss on Monday night in his zeal to steal an election he lost and to destroy faith in the democracy that fairly ejected him from office.

The President spewed lies, conspiracy theories and nonsensically false claims of vote fraud before an angry crowd in Georgia on a trip scheduled to help two Republicans in toss up run-offs Tuesday set to seal the Senate balance of power.

But as usual, and as it has been for the last four years, including during the fast-worsening pandemic that he ignored, the outgoing President's primary concern was himself.

"By the way, there is no way we lost Georgia, that was a rigged election," Trump said, in the first, inaccurate words out of his mouth after disembarking from his Marine One helicopter, before broadening his disinformation to the November 3 election as a whole.

"When you win in a landslide and they steal it and it's rigged, it is not acceptable," Trump said, in an embittered screed, rooted in false claims that he prevailed in an election President-elect Biden won 306-232 in the Electoral College.

Though he often wove GOP Sens. Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue into his remarks -- and warned of the dangers of a Democratic monopoly of power in Washington if they lost --the President's appearance was essentially a wild, on stage, prime time TV version of Saturday's call in which he leaned on Georgia state officials to conjure votes out of thin air in order to discredit Biden's already certified Peach State victory -- a flagrant, and possible unlawful abuse of power.

1. Listening to the phone call tape was chilling.

Trump is a career shakedown artist. The tape showed him as a bullying monster. But it also showed that the Georgia SoS was quiet enough to allow Trump to hang himself with open crimes.

At first, I thought that the SoS was wilting in the face of the denigrating and overbearing assault on his character, but he also knew that every word was being recorded and he neatly got out of the way and allowed Trump to carry on. He played Rope-a-Dope and he succeeded.

2. I got the feeling he and the attorney were

rolling their eyes at each other.

3. I was under some impression

he was going to present "evidence" of everything.

I guess he left it on the plane...
