From the Atlanta Daily World:

Former president and current presidential candidate who attempted to disrupt the election process in Georgia following his 2020 loss in the state has already filed a lawsuit contesting the state’s early voting process. Campaign organizers and Republican supporters filed a 21-page lawsuit in Savannah, arguing that county offices illegally collected early voting ballots over the … Continued

    The lawsuits are just props, along with declaring victory early in the evening, to make his whole stolen election story more convincing to his flock, who he expects to fight and die for him.

    I like how just summarizing the charges against Trump takes up nearly half of the article:

    As of August 27, 2024, Donald Trump has been personally charged with 92 criminal offenses in four criminal cases. This total reflects charges related to Trump’s attempts to overturn the results of the 2020 election, election interference in Georgia, falsifying business records in New York, and mishandling classified records after leaving the presidency. Donald Trump is the first former president in U.S. history to be criminally indicted.

    In New York, Trump was found guilty on 34 counts of falsifying business records. Prosecutors proved that Trump was involved in an illegal conspiracy to undermine the 2016 election in connection with concealing hush money payment to adult film actress Stormy Daniels. He will be sentenced in September.

    Slightly over 1 year ago, (Aug. 14, 2023) Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis officially filed a slew of RICO charges against Trump and 16 of his cohorts suspected to be involved in election tampering.

      No, not so much. The judge pushed this back. Maybe next September.

    The Dems should countersue and then sue against frivolous lawsuits. It’s going to be such bullshit if we have another Bush v Gore, the Dems cannot take the L for preserving peace or unity. You can’t have peace with autocrats or fascists

    You know what just dawned on me?

    He might have large numbers of voter support.

    But he has almost no information on how much of that is useful. There are a few paramilitary organizations here and there. But for the size of the US and armed citizen to Magat ratio, he has no idea if his rhetoric will do anything after he starts crying.

    Or… Like it was said on Weekend Update we’re all gonna get audited anyway.
