Trump has become increasingly delusional. He uses the word 'landslide' frequently now. In his phone call to Raffenspherger, Trump said he won Georgia by as much as 500,000 votes (a 10% win margin). He supposedly won in a landslide and it was stolen from him. That will be his narrative indefinitely. Trump admin officially says huge hack was likely a Russian spy operation excerpt: "As President Donald Trump's days in the White House grow increasingly numbered, his delusions about the 2020 election are growing. By a lot. "You can lose and that's acceptable," Trump said during a rally for Georgia's Sens. Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue on Monday night. "You lose, you lose. You go and you go wherever you're going and you go and say maybe I'll do it again sometime or maybe I won't or I get back to life. But when you win in a landslide and they steal it and it's rigged, it's not acceptable." Moments later, Trump was back at it. "Over the past few weeks, we've demonstrated that we won the election in a landslide. Almost 75 million people voted for me," he said, to applause from the crowd. "The most of any incumbent president in the history of our country.""
‘There’s No Place for Them to Go’: I.C.U. Beds Near Capacity Across U.S. By Lauren Leatherby, John Keefe, Lucy Tompkins, Charlie Smart and Matthew Conlen Dec. 9, 2020 ‘There’s No Place for Them to Go’: I.C.U. Beds Near Capacity Across U.S.
Three Republicans in PA tried to vote illegally for Trump in the 2020 election. Trump sowed seeds of election distrust in his supporters, which can make them feel like they need to illegally vote multiple times to counteract what they thought was an unfair Biden advantage. Trump even told his supporters in North Carolina to vote more than once to test the system. Despite Trump’s intense hunt for voter fraud, officials in key states have so far identified just a small number of possible cases Rosalind S.

Police have alleged that Ralph H. Thurman, 71, voted in Chester County on Election Day — then returned to his polling place wearing sunglasses and attempted to cast a second ballot in the name of his son. He faces four charges, including repeat voting, a felony. In Wilkes-Barre, Robert R. Lynn, 67, has been charged with requesting an absentee ballot in the name of his mother, who died in 2015, and then attempting to vote in her name by forging her signature. He is charged with forgery and interference with an election, both felonies."
Trump encourages North Carolina residents to vote twice to test mail-in system excerpt: "WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump suggested that people in North Carolina should vote twice in the November election, once by mail and once in person, escalating his attempts to cast confusion and doubt on the validity of the results. "So let them send it in and let them go vote, and if their system's as good as they say it is, then obviously they won't be able to vote. If it isn't tabulated, they'll be able to vote," Trump said when asked whether he has confidence in the mail-in system in North Carolina, a battleground state. "If it's as good as they say it is, then obviously they won't be able to vote. If it isn't tabulated, they'll be able to vote. So that's the way it is. And that's what they should do," he said. It is illegal to vote more than once in an election."
Pence already tried to explain to trump that there’s nothing he can do tomorrow to stop the votes from being certified. The incredible thing is it would have worked if the Republicans had a super-majority in the House & Senate - now that's scary.

Kevin Brady was one of the 126 House Republicans that supported the Texas effort to overturn the election U.S. House Republican Kevin Brady tests positive for COVID-19 U.S. Representative Kevin Brady, the top Republican on the House of Representatives tax-writing Ways and Means Committee, said on Tuesday that he had tested positive for coronavirus weeks after receiving a first dose of the Pfizer Inc COVID-19 vaccine. Brady, 65, is the second House member to report testing positive for the virus this week. An aide to Representative Kay Granger, 77, the top Republican on the House Appropriations Committee, announced on Monday that the lawmaker had tested positive. "Tonite, the Office of House Physician informed me that I've tested positive for Covid 19 & am quarantined," Brady said on Twitter on Tuesday. "As recommended, I received a first dose of the Pfizer vaccine Dec 18 & also recently tested negative for Covid on New Years Day. Begin treatment tomorrow.
After taking the first shot of the vaccine he was probably overconfident and didn't wear a mask or social distance. He really should have waited for that second dose.
Democrats flip the Senate in a devastating blow to Trump and Republicans Sonam Sheth, Eliza Relman, Grace Panetta Wed, January 6, 2021, 2:29 AM EST Democrats flip the Senate in a devastating blow to Trump and Republicans
Lin Wood and Sidney Powell were practically rigging the Georgia runoff election against Republicans because they felt the election was already rigged against Republicans. Democrats flip the Senate in a devastating blow to Trump and Republicans excerpt: "In Georgia, the Republican Trump-supporting lawyers Lin Wood and Sidney Powell urged voters to boycott the runoffs, arguing that the races were already "rigged." At a "Stop the Steal" rally in the state last month, Wood told a crowd of Trump supporters not to vote for Loeffler and Perdue. "Don't you give it to them," he said. "Why would you go back and vote in another rigged election, for God's sake? Fix it! You've got to fix it!" "I would encourage all Georgians to make it known that you will not vote at all until your vote is secure - and I mean that regardless of party," Powell said. "We can't live in a republic, a free republic, unless we know our votes are legal and secure.""
AP hasn't yet called the race between Perdue and Ossoff. https://www.wsj.com/livecoverage/georgia-senate-runoff-elections-2021 excerpt: "Thanks to late tallies posted by DeKalb County, in the Atlanta metro area, Democrat Jon Ossoff slipped past Republican Sen. David Perdue in the second Senate runoff in the early-morning hours. But the Associated Press said it's too early to call the race. As of 2:15 a.m. on Wednesday, Mr. Ossoff had a lead of 9,527 votes out of nearly 4.4 million counted, or a margin of less than 0.2 percentage points, the AP said."
Just because he knows the law, it does not logically follow that he is correct, honest, or not criminal.
