Last Week’s Poll Results and This Week’s Poll

5 Comments

Of Trump's Jan 6 excuses, 44% of DL readers found  "If I earnestly BELIEVE I am President, then I am President"  the most ludicrous.

It is ludicrous, but it is all he's got.  Living in an alternative reality and inviting people to live there with him is his thing.  It is not something that will work in a courtroom, but he can't help it.   This conservative CATO institute puts it this way:
America has seen its fair share of lying politicians, but Donald Trump is in a class of his own. He appears to view literally any interaction with another human being as an opportunity to be exploited and a game to be won. In Trump’s world, rules are for chumps, norms are for losers, and the truth is whatever you can get another person to believe — nothing more. And of course, history makes clear that this approach has been quite effective at advancing Trump’s interests in certain settings — preening on the set of a game show, for example, or spinning up a fawning, frothing crowd at a campaign event. But not only will those antics not work in a courtroom, they will backfire. Given the nature of the allegations against him, Trump will have to take the stand even though he has a right not to, and given his nature, he will lie to the jury just like he has lied to everyone else his entire life.
Which brings us to our next week's poll.  (The last Trump poll for a while, I promise.).  

How many felony charges will Trump add to his 91 existing felony charges on Monday when he reveals his 100 page  "report" that he says will cause all charges to be dropped?

Trump’s Crazy Ass Tweet (or whatever) annotated

“I DIDN’T TAMPER WITH THE ELECTION!   [..if I had I would have won.  It would have been beautiful tampering. The most beautiful tampering ever.] THOSE [black people] WHO RIGGED & STOLE THE ELECTION WERE THE ONES DOING THE TAMPERING, & THEY ARE THE SLIME THAT SHOULD BE PROSECUTED. [They are as guilty as the central park 5.  remember them? Very guilty. Everyone is saying so] I MADE A PERFECT PHONE CALL OF PROTEST. [That would have worked if I wasn't dealing with all these 'too honest' fuckers.]  WOULD SOMEONE PLEASE TELL THE FULTON COUNTY GRAND JURY THAT I DID NOT TAMPER WITH THE ELECTION. [My lawyers were supposed to tell them, but I can't find my lawyer anywhere.  Can someone tell my lawyer to call me?]  THE PEOPLE THAT TAMPERED WITH IT WERE THE ONES THAT RIGGED IT.” A Large, Complex, Detailed but Irrefutable REPORT on the Presidential Election Fraud which took place in Georgia is almost complete & will be presented by me at a major News Conference at 11:00 A.M. on Monday of next week  [as soon as my pillow guy puts the finishing touches on it] in Bedminster, New Jersey. [Home of LIV golf tour, check it out!!]  Based on the results of this CONCLUSIVE Report, all charges should be dropped against me & others [this is how trials work, I send in a report and things go away.] – There will be a complete EXONERATION! [That's the good one. Exoneration.]  They never went after those [black people] that Rigged the Election. They only went after those that fought to find the R[N]IGGERS!  I'm pretty excited to see the news Monday based on Trump's previous promises of definitive proof of election fraud in November 2020,  when Giuliani held an infamous press conference at Four Seasons Total Landscaping.
