Asshole-In-Chief

President Donald Trump finally got his victory!  His intervention in a long-shot lawsuit by the state of Texas filed at the U.S. Supreme Court trying to throw out the voting results in four states he lost to President-elect Joe Biden will guarantee his claim to the title of the country’s number one asshole-in-chief.  This is just another losing attempt to undo the outcome of the 2020 election.  The Republican president, writing on Twitter, said: "We will be INTERVENING in the Texas (plus many other states) case. This is the big one. Our Country needs a victory!"  Well, he has gotten his victory.  Time and time again courts have thrown out his attempts to overturn the results of the election and at no time has there been credible evidence of voter fraud. This lawsuit, announced on Tuesday by the Republican attorney general of Texas Ken Paxton, targeted the election battleground states of Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Trump has falsely claimed he won re-election and has made baseless allegations of widespread voting fraud.  Trump provided no details on the nature of the intervention in the case that he was promising, including whether it would be his presidential campaign or the U.S. Justice Department that would take action.  Officials from the four states at issue have called the lawsuit a reckless attack on democracy while legal experts gave it little chance to succeed. It was filed directly with the Supreme Court rather than with a lower court, as is permitted for certain litigation between states.  It is time the courts take action against the frivolous lawsuits filed by Trump or in his behalf.  These legal actions are a bigger ripoff of tax dollars than Trump’s golf vacations.
