Working in the White House is now like “walking on egg shells” and nobody wants to be anywhere near Trump because he knows he’s losing even if he won’t admit it (even to himself):

Once, O'Donnell recalls, Trump was walking through a low-ceilinged room in a building that was in the midst of renovation. "There were some issues," says O'Donnell. He was referring to problems with the renovation, mistakes that Trump soon noticed.
"He jumped up in the air and punched the ceiling," says O'Donnell. "Nobody wants to be around him when he's mad."

We the People Convention placed an ad in Washington Times that is basically demanding President Trump invoke limited Martial law that could suspend the Constitution. They are saying the President has these extraordinary Executive actions and were actually implemented by President Abraham Lincoln in his efforts to save the Union during the Civil War.

Quote:

In the months following the start of the Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln struggled to preserve the Union. Many objected to Lincoln’s extraordinary use of Presidential authority, in particular his suspension of the right of “Habeas Corpus”. On June 12, 1863 Lincoln defended his extreme measures in a letter published in the New York Times. Citing Article I of the Constitution he argued: “Ours is a case of rebellion…in fact, a clear, flagrant, and gigantic case of rebellion; and the provision of the Constitution that ‘the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus shall not be suspended, unless when, in cases of rebellion or invasion, the public safety may require it’, is the provision which specifically applies to our present case.” Lincoln used the same reasoning in justifying a series of extraordinary Presidential Orders:

  1. Lincoln ordered hundreds of Northern newspapers that spoke against him to be shut down and their owners and editors arrested.
  2. Lincoln ordered the arrest of Ohio Congressman Clement Vallandigham for the crime of speaking out against him.
  3. Chief Justice of the US Roger Taney ruled that Lincoln had violated the US Constitution when he illegally suspended the Writ of Habeas Corpus. After hearing this Lincoln signed an arrest warrant to have the Chief Justice of the U.S. arrested.
  4. Lincoln ordered the arrest of thousands in Maryland for the crime of “suspected Southern sympathies” including ordering the arrest of US Congressman Henry May from Maryland. These people were arrested and held in military prisons, without trial, some of them for years.

All the above sounds right up Trump's street. :erm:

Akron, OH: Today, Tom Zawistowski, President of the TEA Party affiliated We the People Convention (WTPC) and Executive Director of the Portage County TEA Party, published a full page ad in the Washington Times newspaper demanding that President Trump Invoke limited Martial law in order to allow the U.S. Military to oversee a new free and fair federal election if Legislators, Courts and the Congress do not follow the Constitution.

Zawistowski said, "We wanted to express our concerns to the President, to the legislators, courts and Congress that We the People will NOT cede our exclusive Constitutional right to elect our Representatives to judges, lawyers, courts, Governors, Secretary’s of State, Congress, corrupt election officials and local politicians, the corrupt media - or Leftist threats of violence! It is OUR EXCLUSIVE RIGHT to elect our President and that sacred right has been infringed by the massive, planned, illegal election fraud conducted by corrupt Democrat/Socialist Party operatives across our nation to steal our vote. We will NOT stand for it."

A national monument to Trump with a massive enthroned statue of him, a la the Lincoln memorial, might be exactly what he's after :disturbd:

Reports: Trump Raised At Least $150 Million For His Election Challenges—Most Of It Isn’t Going To That

President Trump has raised at least $150 million since Election Day through an onslaught of appeals to supporters for help funding his unsuccessful challenges to the vote’s results, according to reports, but a large portion of the money could be put to other uses, including financing his next political move.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Attorney General William Barr said Tuesday the Justice Department has not uncovered evidence of widespread voter fraud that would change the outcome of the 2020 presidential election.

His comments come despite President Donald Trump’s repeated claims that the election was stolen, and his refusal to concede his loss to President-Elect Joe Biden.

In an interview with The Associated Press, Barr said U.S. attorneys and FBI agents have been working to follow up specific complaints and information they’ve received, but they’ve uncovered no evidence that would change the outcome of the election.

“To date, we have not seen fraud on a scale that could have affected a different outcome in the election,” Barr told the AP.
I think Barr might be about to get Krebbed...

This also kills off whatever remote chance of Republican state legislatures ignoring the result and giving the EC votes to Trump, the fraud pretext has been undermined by Trump's own Attorney General.

'Losing'? He's lost, hes been 'fired'....

Can ex-Presidents claim unemployment benefit? Or maybe you have to have paid taxes first?

Biden vote fraud claims: 288,000 votes shipped between state lines, says whistleblower


AN independent human rights organisation in the US has produced a whistleblower who has claimed to have seen up to 288,000 votes shipped between state lines, amid continuing accusations of massive voter fraud by the Democrats in the Presidential election.

As far as I know, none of these people have any physical or photographic evidence that stands up in court so far. Certainly not in any of the lawsuits filed and lost to date.

A witness in a lawsuit from allies of President Donald Trump trying to overturn democracy in Michigan said the votes in Edison County "are cause for concern and indicate fraud" because President-elect Joe Biden won "more than 100% of the votes."

There's just one problem: There is no Edison County in Michigan, the Detroit Free Press pointed out.

In fact, there is no Edison County in the entire United States of America.

The claim came from Navid Keshavarz-Nia, who describes himself in an affidavit as a cybersecurity expert working at a defense contractor who has received training from several government agencies. The affidavit is included as an exhibit appended to a lawsuit filed last week by people working with Sidney Powell, a former member of the Trump campaign's legal team.

Worth viewing the video in this article, it's very funny! Even Giuliani gets frustrated with this crazy witness! :D

Trump team’s discredited fraud witness compared to SNL character

The quixotic quest by Donald Trump’s legal team to overturn the results of the election have birthed an unlikely star this week: Michigan resident Melissa Carone.

Carone, a contract worker for Dominion Voting Systems, appeared before a Michigan house panel on Wednesday and insisted, without providing evidence, that tens of thousands of votes had been counted twice.

It was the manner of her claims, however, that made her a social media hit, with numerous Twitter users comparing Carone to a Saturday Night Live character.

Carone repeatedly talked over a Michigan representative as he tried to get to the bottom of her allegations of voter fraud.

Those claims seemed to amount to vague accusations of ballot recounting and poll tampering, apparently by the Republican-controlled house.

I don't understand why these affidavits that are proven to be wrong don't have consequences, I thought that was the point of them.
