One of the things that never ceases to amaze me is just how terrible the entire Trump wing is at the whole attempted-coup thing.
Here's a great example:
Here's the thing: even when measured only against the sickly dogs that have thus far refused to hunt (50 and counting), this case is a fucking loser. The Texas AG has no standing to sue other states for their own election procedures.
And that sort of demonstrates how fucking idiotic the Trump play is here: you're really going to try to cash your Supreme Court chips in (whatever they may be) seeking a federal (judicial branch) intrusion on states' rights?
Even were the new plants on the Court inclined to help you (as a general matter), you're asking them to do so under this cover?
What you're really doing, now, is giving them cover to consider and roundly reject your play. Which I think is not what you wanted to do!

Does he believe if he keeps tweeting this - the results are going to change?
My next questions is - who is he congratulating?

Fuck any Republican who doesn’t condemn this behavior.

And celebrate the one Republican who does condemn it, at least once every couple months or so

I know multiple people who voted for his reelection based on the balance of their 401k.

Great. But those people aren't voting for
anything for another two years, and not for the office in question for another four.

Seems to go against the GOP mantra of the federal government not overstepping the rights of states.
Throw it on the giant pile of Republican hypocrisy.

Right, exactly.
Suppose you did in fact have at least five semi-sympathetic justices, who would at least potentially help you continue this bullshit.
You would not choose, as a vehicle, a case that is squarely contrary to far-right dogma.

There are two reasons Trump is contesting the election results:
1. To be a grifter and make money.
2. He's too stupid to understand the course of events that transpired in this election.

Did those people vote for Obama or Romney in 2012?

Good question. No one really talked about it back them.

This is continuation of a theme in which Trump has signaled that he expects the Supreme Court to decide the stupid Texas lawsuit in his favor (which it won't even hear):
It's another delightful example of Trump not even playing Candyland, let alone checkers or any-dimensional chess.
Suppose you really did have a few justices predisposed to at least giving this shit oxygen. Maybe you shouldn't publicly pressure them to do so.
