Most likely from a near future interview.
Setting outside Mars A Lago Trump sits in a white polo shirt.

Chris Wallace: "So you don't think you lost the election?"

Trump: "No, no I don't think I lost. If you look around there was a lot of fraud going on. You know it and I know it. A tremendous amount of fraud, and the lying media, which has treated me very badly by the way and frankly you're treating me very badly. Just isn't reporting it."

Chris Wallace: "Mr Trump with all due respect, there just wasn't enough evidence of fraud."

Trump: "There is evidence. A tremendous amount of evidence, and were looking into it and looking into it very carefully. We had dead people voting. I win by a lot on election night, some people would say a landslide and all of a sudden millions of votes come in for Biden?

Chris Wallace: "But it seems like your evidence hasn't held up in court."

Trump: "Look we had the best economy the country has ever seen. You don't lose when you have the best economy."

Chris Wallace: "The country was in a recession."

Trump: "Until Chyna brought their little virus over here. We had the best economy for Whites, Blacks, Hispanics, Educated and not so educated who I love by the way. You simply don't lose when you have the greatest economy the world has ever seen."

The culture war, viewed as a conflict between the "Anywheres" and the "Somewheres".

EDIT: https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/biden-electors-president-california-certification-1.5829778

With California's certification, there are now officially enough electors pledged to Biden that the votes submitted to Congress for its consideration on January 6 will have a majority cast for Joe Biden.

But but what about the suitcase in Georgia that had extra fake votes in it. All votes for Biden should be thrown out in Georgia! Trump won by 50 million votes! Biggest election landslide in history!  MAGA!

That was fun to type.

https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/rudy-giuliani-tests-positive-covid-19-1.5830603

And now Rudy Giuliani has tested positive.

I wonder how much more incoherent this will make his legal arguments.

Considering COVID's list of symptoms include becoming deranged, I think it might push him into outright insanity.

Like, outright trying to call his cousin Vinny up to the stand to testify.

No matter how deranged he gets, though, nothing can top his claim that the US didn't suffer terrorist attacks until Barack Obama was elected President.

Certainly they didn't suffer one in 2001.

In the city where he was Mayor at the time.

And he never tried to run for President on the basis of having been said Mayor at said time, including before Obama took office.

You know how Biden said Rudy Giuliani knew a noun a verb and 9/11?

I'm beginning to think that may be a bit of a stretch in terms of Rudy's linguistic abilities.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018_Georgia_Secretary_of_State_election

Just a reminder: the last time there was a statewide runoff in Georgia, for Secretary of State in 2018 (won by Brad Raffensperger, the same guy now getting death threats for upholding state law), the Democratic candidate's vote share declined in the runoff.

Yeah but that was also off of the heels of a MAAAAAAAAAAAAAASIVE voter purge done by now Governor Kemp.  Stacy Abrams and co have been doing some massive registration of folks and are really enthusiastic about this vote.  In fact, one of the Democratic candidates is ahead of their opponent in polls right now.

Ironbite-so have some hope.

Was there yet another voter purge between the general election and the runoff?

I'm not saying there's no hope of winning those races; I am saying that historically, Republican turnout is better in Georgia runoffs than Democratic turnout, and already in both races in the general election, Republican candidates, taken together, outpolled Democratic candidates, taken together. (Warnock beat Loeffler, yes, but Loeffler had a strong Republican challenger in Doug Collins; Warnock had no such challenger on the Democratic side.)

EDIT: https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/krebs-death-threats-digenova-lawsuit-1.5833016

Christopher Krebs, who ran the federal agency tasked with ensuring election security and was fired by Trump after reporting that the 2020 had been the most secure in American history, has received death threats after a lawyer went on a show licenced by NewsMax and called for him to be killed. Krebs is now suing the lawyer, NewsMax, and the Trump campaign.

EDIT #2: https://pittsburgh.cbslocal.com/2020/12/08/texas-sues-pennsylvania-election-results/

In one of those "bet you didn't remember that clause of the US Constitution" instances, Texas has sued Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin over alleged violations of election law directly at the Supreme Court, which has original jurisdiction for cases between states.

Yeah funny how they sued on safe harbor day. So it's a lawsuit that will go absolutely no where.

They have to do something or get primaried, but it will probably be thrown out on an opening motion to dismiss for failure to show injury.

EDIT: Here's an interesting fact.

In Florida, Donald Trump, who has said that the minimum wage should be lower, won its electors by a wider margin of victory than he did in 2016, or than Barack Obama did in 2012 or 2008. Also this year, voters approved a state constitutional amendment to raise the minimum wage to $15/hr by 2026, a measure which required a 60% supermajority.

In California, Joe Biden won its electors by a slightly smaller margin of victory than Hillary Clinton did in 2016, but by a substantially wider margin than Barack Obama did in 2012 or 2008. Also this year, voters rejected a proposal to remove the state's ban on affirmative action, with around 57% voting against. Voters also repealed a bill that replaced cash bail with risk assessments in criminal trials.

EDIT: https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/trump-election-supreme-court-challenge-1.5834985

Seventeen other states have joined Texas' suit. All but three have Republican Governors; all are represented by Republican officials.

The Trump campaign has applied for intervenor status in the case.

EDIT #2: https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/trump-lawsuit-supreme-court-defeat-1.5838403
https://www.supremecourt.gov/orders/courtorders/121120zr_p860.pdf

The US Supreme Court has rejected Texas' bid to sue Pennsylvania and three other states over the alleged unconstitutionality of the conduct of their election this year.

The Court noted that "Texas has not demonstrated a judicially cognizable interest in the manner in which another State conducts its elections."

Justices Alito and Thomas would have permitted Texas to file the complaint, on the grounds that the Court cannot deny filing when a case falls into its original jurisdiction. However, they would not have ordered either that the Electoral College vote be delayed from December 14, nor that the current slates of electors in the four defendant states be set aside.

EDIT #3: https://www.nationalreview.com/2020/12/texass-frivolous-lawsuit-seeks-to-overturn-election-in-four-other-states/

Andrew McCarthy: Yes, we all know Democrats want to steal elections and all that. But Ken, you know as well as I do that this tactic isn't going to work.

Mo Brooks is hoping to force every Republican lawmaker to go on record as supporting or opposing Trump's efforts to remain in office for a second term by invoking a provision of the Electoral Count Act requiring Congress to vote on whether to accept a slate of electors from a state.
