I'll give the folks over at TheDonald one thing, they're eternal optimists. They're all smiles and joy at the master plan they've hatched with Trump to put all Democrats and 'RINO's in jail forever (or hanged, as they seem to want) for 'treason'.

For all his faults, Trump and things related to Trump has been a rich mine of memes for the past four years, so it's only right that there's one last splurge when he is on the way out.

No, they were enough to get past the threat of WWIII which occurred the first fucking week of this bullshit year but now we need more. I want at least a live-caught bigfoot to call this year anything less than a total waste.

Most reporting seems to show that the main circle of advisors know that it's over. A few diehards (read: idiots) actually think it might happen, like apparently Giuliani.

My theory is that they want to keep the base loyal to Trump for a future media Empire (Trump TV) and a possible run in 2024. They cant do that if he looks like a big fat loser, which he evidently is. If they can make it seem like he was cheated out of it, convince enough people that Trump should still be the President, then he can keep getting the attention he so desperately craves.

Republicans have two choices right now:

Admit they were wrong and take the punches to the gut because they rode Trump for the voters,

or do even MORE drugs and hope the dopamine highs out-weight their conscience...
