Trump is a bully. He’s a sociopath. And when the Secret Service comes to yank him and his cronies out of the WH in January, he’ll go meekly because that’s how people like him act when confronted by actual authority and force.

He and his cronies committed more crimes this week in plain view, and there’s still a collective shrug by everyone, mostly because people can’t believe what they just saw.

Trump attempted a coup. He interfered in state elections, trying to get millions of legitimately cast and counted votes thrown out to deliver him a win.

That’s high crimes territory once again. That’s all Trump does. He engages in felony conduct to cover up other felonies and to avoid indictments after leaving office. All that’s saved us from the complete breakdown of democracy and the election process is a handful of state and local officials who followed the law and ignored Trump.

But because he failed doesn’t mean Trump’s off the hook for any of this. All of those involved engaged in felony conduct. That includes Ellis, Rudy, and the rest of the crackerjack lawyers who are pushing this bulkshit. They knew what the endgame was, and they openly stated their goal was overturning the outcome of the election.

They openly stated this was a coup attempt. They’re still at it.

They just hope enough right wing lunatics that form the GOP base buy into it and try to subvert the transition and hamstring the incoming administration all during a pandemic where Trump’s response has been worse than awful.

So, last night Ivanka goes on and claims that she’s being harassed by state/local law enforcement officials at this point.

All that’s missing is Trump and crew to be hauled out in their bath robes and Trump trying to pull a Vincent Chin Gigante routine claiming that he’s just a doddering old guy, and not a crime boss who engaged in an attempted coup against the government of the United States after trying to extort and exhort foreign powers to interfere in the election to benefit him personally and directly on at least two separate occasions in two separate elections.
