Trump demands names of the congressional Republicans who said they recognize Biden as winner
President Trump on Saturday demanded to know who the congressional Republicans were who acknowledged President-elect Joe Biden as the winner of the presidential election.

The president was referring to a survey from The Washington Post that found that only 25 Congressional Republicans acknowledged Biden’s victory.

"25, wow! I am surprised there are so many. We have just begun to fight. Please send me a list of the 25 RINOS. I read the Fake News Washington Post as little as possible!" Trump tweeted on Saturday, referring to "Republicans in name only."

...

The president continues to promote claims, without evidence, that the election was rife with voter fraud. However, Trump is growing isolated in his claims, and he has targeted Republicans who break from him.

Trump is such a lazy sack of shit. All he had to do was read the story in the paper or on the website: https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/survey-who-won-election-republicans-congress/2020/12/04/1a1011f6-3650-11eb-8d38-6aea1adb3839_story.html

It was ON THE FRONT PAGE OF THE WEBSITE. Such a lazy asshole. No surprise. All he does is watch Fox and OANN and Newsmax all day and tweet.

Was the story told in cartoons? If it used words, after the first 10 or so it would lose him. Remember, he doesn't read. He wants the names only, not to have to wade through what could be an entire paragraph to get there. Attention span is not that long.

Read the WaPo? He gets all his info from TV.
And, he'd never think to come up with the "little as possible" bit. He would say "I never read."
Somebody else wrote that tweet.

of fake news, where he is head of an alternative state and everyone owes fealty to him.

If someone in your family exhibited these traits it would prompt an evaluation fast.

The ghost writer of "The Art of the Deal", after being around Trump for several months to write (fabricate) the book, thought he could cause an end to civilization because of his sociopathic mind.

I won't be fully at ease until he's officially removed from office, although the electoral victory by Biden/Harris definitely helped in that regard.

Why can’t he hold his body still? Then they showed a video of Melania taken this week. She was doing the same thing. His belligerence is gone. He seems she’ll shocked.

"Somebody pull-eeeease drive a stake through that orange thing's black little heart."
Of course he's just out to please everyone's stupidest aunt and uncle like mine on the "whitest" side of my... ahem... family. Oh wait a minute, they're a decade deceased. They'd have raised from the grave to vote for the Frump though. Sometimes the passage of generations happens for good reasons.

A decade ago now, Facebook for me became a brawl between family and so-called "friends". I first asked one of my midwestern cousins not to post horribly racist Obama pictures on my page. I asked the same of some re-kindled friendships I'd made from way back in high school. That went horribly wrong, not only did they de-friend me there, but I got ambushed so totally by RWNJ's I de-activated Facebook and left it to rot in it's weird little meaningless quarantine since.
I'd joined the twitter thing about a year ago, seemed sort of fun, bubblegum internet sort of like BookFace. Till I just laughed when I saw I got kicked off there by the moderators for that. Like, freakin' seriously... LMFAO.
Certainly hadn't really ever considered someone would take the sort of comment seriously. Until lately when I found out you can buy the real hand+carved things! Hmmm... it really is true, you can get anything these days.
