    Wow, I thought it was going to be some sort of slip-up, but no. They just straight up admit he obstructed the election. They’re not even coy about it.

    He really does know the best people.

      This is the textbook play. If you can’t obfuscate that it happened, you brazenly embrace it as though there is nothing wrong with it.

        But that doesn’t work in court, only in the media.

          It’s pretty obvious that he’s playing for either nullification or a political solution.

          And, chances are good that he’ll get one.

            He doesn’t care what happens in court because unless he is sentenced before he takes office, he doesn’t even have to figure out if he can pardon himself. And in that sense, more is not better. 3 (or 4) strong cases against him on Jan 20th doesn’t matter because he can just tell his AG to keep firing people until this goes away.

            He doesn’t have to win in court, he has to to win the election.

              He may only need to win the nomination. I could see his lawyers arguing that “you can’t disrupt an election by convicting one of the candidates”.

      All the best people probably told him he has no case so he found some incompetent whackos who will argue whatever he wants them to.

            Such a lazy troll too.

            Back in the day, a troll would manipulate people into embarassing themselves or getting into arguements, then walk away from the shitshow they’d caused.

            These ‘trolls’ do the equivalent of shit in their pants for attention.

              It’s such a shame. Good trolls are slow burns, and most most importantly they’re not personally invested in the topic. Honestly I compare it to comedy. A comic is on stage and points out something about a topic that on its face is comedic but then you stop and think and realize the absurdity of it and that absurdity is why it’s comedic in the first place. A good troll is one that starts an argument between people who share beliefs and it should develop in such a way that people can take a step back and realize the absurdity of what they’re arguing about. It should result in growth for all the parties and observers involved to realize that they’re arguing over stupid meaningless stuff and that there are bigger problems than whatever they’ve spent who knows how long bickering about.

              But it’s just developed into snatching low hanging fruit and simply getting a rise out of people by simply saying slurs or bigoted comments.
