A key indicator of how long Trump will continue to resist the reality of losing the election will be the size of the crowd and its "nature" in the streets of Washington DC today.

A key indicator of how long Trump will continue to resist the reality of losing the election will be the size of the crowd and its "nature" in the streets of Washington DC today. If it is "enormous" in his and the media's (CNN would no longer be "fake" news if they so reported huge crowd numbers and highly beligerent intentions) reporting on it, he will continue to resist. If it flops tomorrow, is small and made up uniquely of violent "Proud Boys" etc, then his slide into depression will accelerate. He will probably at that point not concede personally as it is beyond him. He will nolonger stop the process going forward as people will "suffer the bully less kindly" and just get on with it while he wails and shakes his fist ...but does nothing but sulk.
The monotonal delivery of his “speech” yesterday sure made him sound depressed. But I seriously wonder if he is capable of any moods except greed, rage and lust.
It's his "reading a teleprompter" voice: he really can't read. I feel for all people with dyslexia who are struggling to deal with a dyslexic POTUS who would sooner denigrate them than admit that he can't read. Biden's stutter is a minor, minor issue compared to Cheeto's myriad cognitive issues.
Yeah, when all 500 of the morons show up this morning, we'll know what's what. So far, the "Stop the Steal" demonstrations have drawn crowds in the (less than) tens.
He's losing the support of the legal "Warriors" who are becoming afraid that they will be sanctioned for filing "frivilous" claims by the authorities in their profession and he's reduced to putting Guiliani in charge of the fiasco. If he doesn't have the "threat" of massive popular protest and violence then he has no more levers to pull. Fox has abandonned him as they will any "loser" . At a guess his new fake appeal for funds isn't generating expected returns either or he would be boasting about it...despair!
I think he's stuck at anger right now Stuart! There is a great WaPo cartoon from the other day referring to this. I think the bargaining part is going to be under the table with Biden representatives that will propose some kind of Gerald Ford-esque carte blanche pardon in order to pry him out of the WH.
The process is not governed by clockwork...and pardon before charges are proferred requires admission of guilt! Doesn't sound like him. More likely he will follow his usual method of "testing" precedent and declare that a President, ex or existing is above the law (his shooting someone on 5th Ave , NYC argument) and is pardoned automatically by the nature of his role; thus having his cake and eating it...pardoned but not guilty! Total legal rubbish but fodder for the orcs. He will think that Biden will hesitate before he brings the role of POTUS into disrepute by going after him. He will also figure that Biden would not wish to establish such a precedent. Biden will probably effectively let NY and the IRS go after him. Financial ruin and social stigmatization will probably have to suffice. Hoping that's enough to neuter the beast
I hope it's a flop too, but I'm not holding my breath. He's got his base riled up and I think you'll see a lot of 2nd amendment people in the crowd. That's their 1st amendment too.

I didn't know he was dyslexic! Or are you joshing?
Not joshing. He is. And has ADD which is why he snorts adderall.
His failure to color his hair for a public performance is a "tell" on that.

Dropping like a "Stone" if you'll excuse the expression. I'm not sure that Trump will pardon him again for such a failure to produce the goods!
One hopes. From your lips to goddess' ear.
😂
I hope you’re right, Stuart!

And when does Guiliani finally cross the line fully and get disbarred? His ranting is as destructive and misguided as Trump's.
He's already far beyond "red" in the spectrum of light. If he isn't disbarred i would doubt he'll ever have another client!
Praying all you say is so, Stuart!
He's following Elizabeth Kubler-Ross's "coping with grief" cycle; denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance.

I would add vindictiveness to that list.
It's part of the "anger"
In that case, Stuart, I hope it's a flop.

And it'll show the rest of us what we're up against.
