…and the penny-ante saga continues…

“They did what they say I did—Crazy!” Trump wrote Wednesday.

The audio recordings, captured in four recordings by someone present for the conversation between Trump and the canvassers, revealed Republican National Committee Chair Ronna McDaniel was on the call with Trump and the canvassers and offered legal assistance for the Wayne County officials if they would not sign a document certifying the county’s election results.

Multiple legal experts and Republican political strategist Karl Rove have criticized Trump and McDaniel’s actions. Some legal experts have questioned whether McDaniel’s offer of attorneys to represent the canvassers in court for not carrying out their duties amounts to bribery.

…and yet, a non-trivial percentage of registered voters in the United States — Michigan included — still support this would-be dictator. I just can’t fathom it. It appears that short of Mr Trump personally defecating on each and everyone’s dining room table, the MAGA among us are committed to having the first King of The United States.
