We finally have a concession, I guess.

I read that as "We manufactured some more evidence against Hunter Biden, so the SC obviously will rule in favor of the Texas filing and then I win!"

That’s not the first time a Trump tweet has suggested a Biden win.

I feel like it's the first time he's flat out said "will be" but I could be wrong.

It says "will be" but then proceeds to suggest that this certainty of a (scandal plagued) Biden administration for "years to come" actually increases the uncertainty of there ever being a Biden administration at all (due to intervention of the SCOTUS). So it is an internally incoherent nonsense of a tweet. Basically, I don't think it counts as a cogent statement of human thought, let alone a concession.

If you change the opening words to, "given that the Biden administration would be..." it makes sense.

I mean obviously it's not a straight concession, but when grading on the Trump scale it's basically a congratulations to Biden.

Yes, that would help. If he also eliminated the random capitalization of "courage" and "wisdom", it would probably bring that tweet up to Grade 10 literacy level.

SURPRISING FACT

The states’ amicus brief largely takes aim at the four targeted states’ expanded voting rules—but their arguments are often contradictory, such as opposing states extending their deadlines by which mail-in ballots must be received. The brief alleges that extended deadlines provide “a post-election window of time during which nefarious actors could wait and see whether the Presidential election would be close, and whether perpetrating fraud...would be worthwhile,” despite the fact that several states that signed on to the brief—Kansas, Mississippi, North Dakota, Utah and West Virginia—accept mail-in ballots that arrive after Election Day themselves. Texas also allows mail-in ballots that arrive up to one day after the election, and despite chastising the battleground states for expanding their voting rules, Texas also changed some of its voting rules to accommodate voters during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Manhattan D.A. Intensifies Investigation of Trump


Prosecutors have recently interviewed employees of President Trump’s lender and insurance brokerage, in the latest indication that he still faces the potential threat of criminal charges once he leaves office.

This Texas suit has to be one of the most shameful attacks on American democracy in the country's history. The fact that over half of the GOP House members signed on to this bulls*** is beyond despicable. You have to wonder how these pathetic scumbags can look their children in the eyes after participating in this madness.

The SCOTUS should rightfully toss this crap right into the garbage bin along with the rest of Trump's cases.

Nice to see Trump and his enablers value the US Constitution about as much as that piece of toilet paper that was stuck on his shoe.

I preface this by saying I don't think it will happen, but these types of actions or inactions are how civil wars and the end of countries occurs.
