Some firms don't want the reputational damage that comes with filing frivolous lawsuits on behalf of, and generally being associated with, Trump and his conspiracy theories.

Not just with clients but with the judges, more and more judges are very openly threatening the lawyers in these cases with their barr licenses for bringing these joke cases into their courts.

These firms will have to bring cases before these judges in the future and dont need the judges to have a bad impression of them.

Word has it Donald may try to run again in 2024. Question is will the Republican's allow him ?

He could run as an Independent, But I am sure it will split the current Republican vote by half. Many Republicans probably voted for him due to the stance the Democrats take with regards to abortion and what they see it as socialism like health care for all. Will be interesting to see how many would choose Trump as a independent candidate vs someone else from the Republican Party.

He would probably do it just as an FU to the Republican Party for turning on him and not backing him now.

If he ever understood irony his head might actually explode, or at least develop a serious aneurism.

This is why I reckon Twitter was one of the worst ever inventions.

It gives an easy open platform to morons.

It's a copy/paste of the mindsets we see in this thread every day. Or... Used to, where did most of the loud and proud trump supporters go over the last 10 or so days?

Brian Tyler Cohen is a leftie YouTuber, but, unlike a lot of them, not a complete looney. I've found his analysis to be relatively sober and well considered and find him to be a good touchstone for the logical left pov.

Anyway, here's short offering from him that packs a lot of info into a short enough clip. Turns out the Republican officials in PA are refuting all the Trump nonsense, on Fox of all places;

Just thought that was a good summary of where everything seems to be at.

Interesting article in Politico about the election fraud claims

This bit makes perfect sense to me;

The shocking lack of specifics, which Trump’s critics mock as laughably unserious for something so consequential, is not a deficiency. It is the feature of his strategy.
Trump is not making a narrow, surgical, legally feasible case to enhance his chances to still be living in the White House come January 21. (That’s … improbable.) He’s not doing this, either, to win the argument. (It’s almost mathematically impossible.) He’s doing it, say political strategists, longtime Trump watchers and experts on authoritarian tactics, to sow doubt, save face and strengthen even in defeat his lifeblood of a bond with his political base.

. https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2020/11/13/trumps-crazy-and-confoundingly-successful-conspiracy-theory-436404

And it goes with all the tidbits we are hearing, the slow move to accepting the defeat and moving on, grudgingly, to Biden. But Trump needs to maintain the view that he isn't a loser, it was stolen. That allows the money to keep rolling in, and the view that there really is a majority in the states that want Trump, just that the votes were stolen.

He's like LaMotta in Raging Bull after taking a pummelling from Sugar Ray. "You never got me down Ray!"

Lost the fight but in his own head he "won".

Exactly. All this talk about strategy and grifting and everything else is s nonsense.

The only strategy is a broken ego fighting for survival.
It has to uphold the illusion of not being a loser.

I have to say that’s my feeling on it. He’ll eventually walk away but crying foul for evermore about it. His foolish followers will lap it up as in their heads it will also save them face. You only need to look at how many of his followers here disappeared or re regged so they didn’t have to stand over their ridiculous statements to see how fragile they are. I’ve a bit of respect for the handful of posters who supported him unwaveringly and are still defending him using their original usernames. I think a lot purposely got themselves banned to set a tone of the mods are liberals but in reality like a lot of things about Trump it was just setting a narrative to cling to.

I see Trump lawyers have withdrawn another case in Arizona. Absolute shambles.

Trump lost another case in Federal Court this time in relation to Pennsylvania. This was their main case that the mail-in votes received after election day should be thrown out. Another loss - when will it sink in for them?

I must say I’m enjoying Trump’s shenanigans. I knew they’d get nowhere.

Trump and his backers are doing untold damage to their county’s democracy..

Utter lowlifes the lot of them..

Pathetic that a party actually is endorsing and facilitating this man.

What damage is he doing to democracy? He lost the election, doesn’t want to leave and is being made leave anyway. If anything the optics look good for the robustness of American democracy.

The optics led to a FB page called 'Stop the Steal' with 350,000 members calling for violence against democrats/liberals.

Over 70M people have watched what has gone on since the election and think that their democracy has been stolen from them because of Trump and his acolytes including media representatives and senior Senate and House officials saying the same thing.
