I don't think there's any downside for Trump contesting the election in SCOTUS.

Is there?

On edit: I mean for him.

OK, I realize I'm way late to the party here, but...

...does anyone have any insight into why any political strategist would want the optics of a crowd in all-matching shirts and hats? It practically screams paid performers,

I dunno. Maybe if the shirts were brown.

You know, what Trump is doing makes an extreme sort of sense.

If he stays in WR through the whole course of the disease and survives, he still loses the presidency and his life is over. If he pretends to fight off the COVID and, in a one-in-a-million (billion?) shot actually fakes it until he makes it, he probably wins the presidency and goes down in history as the Aryan Ubermensch he believes himslf to be. In his royded-up brain that probably sounds like a good gamble.

I've been a skeptic about Trump's abstemious ways in the past, but...

...but, damn, he really does sound like someone stoned for the first time.

It's time for Biden, Harris, Pelosi, et al. to create a shadow government.

With Trump at the head, the Executive branch was dysfunctional. With him hospitalized, it's a random collection of idiots doing nothing but tear their hair.

There are people who would jump at the chance to lend their resources and their expertise to such an effort -- along with their reputation of not lying their asses off about every damn thing.

On edit: Actually that was a bit unfair. The leadership are the random collection of idiots.

If I were watching an ambulance hanging out in front of someone's house this long...

...my thinking would be that thet EMTs are struggling to get the patient stable enough to transport.
