Dept of Unintended Consequences

[dreamshark]

Because Trump has always preferred campaigning to governing, he has set aside his post-election funk to charge into action in Georgia, vowing to campaign tirelessly for the Republican incumbents in those oh-so-important Senate runoff elections. The Georgia Republican party is not nearly as excited about this as he is, since having Trump on the ticket did not work out well for them in the national election, but seems resigned to accepting his "help." But it was particularly amusing to see evidence that all the work Trump has already done in attacking the Georgia election process and (Republican) election officials has convinced a lot of his supporters that there is no point in voting at all. 

Gosh, who could have seen that coming?  *heh*

In other satisfying election news, the latest stinging judicial dismissal of the Trump campaign's baseless lawsuits was delivered by a judge who was not just a Republican but a Trump appointee. 

“Free, fair elections are the lifeblood of our democracy. Charges of unfairness are serious. But calling an election unfair does not make it so. Charges require specific allegations and then proof. We have neither here,” 3rd Circuit Judge Stephanos Bibas, a Trump appointee, wrote for the three-judge panel, all appointed by Republican presidents.

There's not a lot of glimmers of cheer these days, but you have to admit that was kind of delicious.
