As expected, Trump wants to stop the counting

That Trump had been widely predicted to make a baseless assertion of triumph and resort to the courts to stop votes being counted did not make his 2.21am speech at the White House any less shocking.

[...]

Trump spoke in the east room with numerous US flags behind him and flanked by two TV screens, which had been showing Fox News.

[...]

“Millions and millions of people voted for us tonight, and a very sad group of people is trying to disenfranchise that group of people and we won’t stand for it,” Trump said to whoops and cheers. “We will not stand for it.”

[...]

“And did I predict this, did I say this? I’ve been saying this from the day I heard they were going to send out tens of millions of ballots because either they were going to win or, if they didn’t win, they’ll take us to court.”

He added: “This is a fraud on the American public. This is an embarrassment to our country. We were getting ready to win this election. Frankly, we did win this election. So our goal now is to ensure the integrity – for the good of this nation, this is a very big moment – this is a major fraud on our nation.

“We want the law to be used in a proper manner, so we’ll be going to the US supreme court. We want all voting to stop. We don’t want them to find any ballots at four o’clock in the morning and add them to the list. OK? It’s a very sad moment.

“We will win this and as far as I’m concerned we already have won it.”

Millions are still to be counted in key battleground states in the midwest such as Pennsylvania and they are expected to heavily favour Biden.

Uh, Guardian, Pennsylvania is not in the midwest.

The president appears to be pinning hopes that a conservative majority on the supreme court, including his recent appointment Amy Coney Barrett, will rule in his favour.

That would be the beginning of the end of the Supreme Court.  I'm not saying they won't do it.

Historian Michael Beschloss posted: “Trump claiming a victory he never won, and saying he will take it to the supreme court. This is what dictators do. Stop.”

[...]

David Plouffe, a former campaign manager and White House senior adviser for Barack Obama, predicted “dark and scary days” to come.

You think?

You're right, they can't be cast, but they CAN (and will) be counted, dirtbag.

Also, that's a correction from this beaut:

Remember yesterday when Trump told Fox News he'd declare victory when there WAS victory?  Yeah, another Trump lie.

UPDATE:

UPDATE:

Hilarious.

He's not going to stop.
