The game is to con the rubes into voting for you while keeping the prize just out of reach. He done screwed that up. Now he either has to go in either with the evangelicals and lose the suburban moms, or try to do the opposite. But he has no carrot to hold over their head, so he’ll need to invent one. He needs to be backed up and forcibly separated from one or the other.

1. You can't write a book called Crime of the Century when not even a quarter of the century has elapsed.

2. I think it's really interesting that he shares my opinion that this is a disaster for the Republican Party himself.

Is it fiction or autobiography?

I'm sure that he's convinced that, not only is it the worst crime committed so far this century, but that there is no conceivable crime more serious than his loss of an election.

I'm convinced he was working on a plan to move the election his way when he telegraphed almost a year prior that any other result than a GOP victory was a sign of a corrupt system. The Who and How have not been corroborated because his team could not stitch it together. Hence the panicked efforts afterwards. Like so many things Trump, it may have been half-baked and impulsive to begin with, never fully thought out, and therefore never realized. And now it's too embarrassing to let go. He has to remain on this path of the Big Lie.

:think: hmmmmmmmm... did he claim to have started the next 1000 year Reich with his kiddies as heirs? then surely he must have lasted the first century by the time his reign got cut short stolen :blackeye:

This. And then some. I heard a discussion by people who track this stuff for a living on when the coup began. The consensus was fall 2016. He used the same "rigged" constructions then.

And then someone said he did the same thing with the Emmy Awards.

It's what he does.

Trump fears that by laying the groundwork to overturn Roe v. Wade, he has enraged ‘suburban women’ and given his enemies an opening, sources tell Rolling Stone
Awww, poor little Donnie. Maybe he shoulda thought about that before packing the court, eh?

He used the phrase "voter fraud" when Ted Cruz beat him in a Primary. If he had lost in 2016 he would have been sitting around saying it was rigged, calling himself the real president and blowing his shit on every talk show he could find. Then he won and had to do... work.

Except he didn't do any work.

We skated on a lot of horror because he was so lazy, stupid, and incompetent.

It amuses me only in the sense that my 25 year old son, having seen a few Dune-based memes lately, broke down and asked me if the series was at all worth reading. I told him that I only considered the first two books worthwhile, the rest kind of were meh and the fourth book was the source of a lot of the Trump-as-God-Emperor <4/8>chan :shit: from a couple of years back that's still probably floating around on some toxic message boards. Since he used to quote that sutff at me ironically -- I assure you, only ironically -- I felt like I finally owed him the context.

He was like "Oh, okay, naw, I've done enough of that reading for a lifetime, then." ;)
But the sunshine aye shall light the sky,
As round and round we run;
And the truth shall ever come uppermost,
And justice shall be done.

Well if he doesn't receive the Nobel prize for Literature for this book we will never hear the end of it.

Too bad the "charitable" Trump Foundation isn't around. It could have brought 100k copies and donate to needy kids.
