President Donald Trump finally shared his reaction to the Supreme Court dumping the Texas lawsuit challenging the election and it wasnt pretty.
He ranted after midnight Friday about getting screwed, boasting he got more votes than any other sitting president in history yet purportedly lost (because Joe Biden got 7 million more votes).
So Trump intervened on behalf of the Texas lawsuit seeking to toss all the votes in Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin, which happened to vote for Biden. The suit was backed by 17 other red states (wonderful states, the president noted in his tweet).
But the court tossed the suit Friday because Texas lacked standing to challenge votes in other states, it said in a brief, unsigned order.
In a flash the suit was thrown out and gone, without even looking at the many reasons it was brought, Trump angrily tweeted. A Rigged Election, fight on! he added.
He complained bitterly that no court has yet judged his complaints about election fraud on their merits even though there is absolutely no evidence of election fraud. Its a legal disgrace, an embarrassment to the USA!!! he tweeted.
He grumbled that the Supreme Curt really let us down, and has no wisdom, no courage!
Twitter marked the tweets about a rigged election disputed.
The president didnt detail how he might fight on. But the Trumps attorney, Rudy Giuiliani, the mastermind behind Trumps failed legal assault on election results, told Newsmax Friday that more suits will be filed.
The Supreme Court really let us down. No Wisdom, No Courage!

So, youre the President of the United States, and you just went through an election where you got more votes than any sitting President in history, by far – and purportedly lost. You cant get standing before the Supreme Court, so you intervene with wonderful states…..

….that, after careful study and consideration, think you got screwed, something which will hurt them also. Many others likewise join the suit but, within a flash, it is thrown out and gone, without even looking at the many reasons it was brought. A Rigged Election, fight on!

Weve not gotten any court to judge this (the vote) on its merit. @DanPatrick of Texas. It is a legal disgrace, an embarrassment to the USA!!!

The Supreme Court decision is widely viewed as a final, devastating blow to Trumps battle to overturn election results. From a legal perspective, the fat lady has sung, said Steve Vladeck, a CNN Supreme Court analyst and University of Texas Law professor.
The Electoral College meets Monday to cast ballots reflecting the voters choice of President-elect Biden.
Critics responded to Trumps complaints by telling him to get ready to hit the road. But a number of supporters ominously called on him to utilize his backers and even the military to get what he wants.
You have the tools!! Use them!! You are the only one that can and I think 80MM American have your back. Not to mention the greatest military in the world!!
