Donald Trump continues to be fixated on his “Big Lie”<\/em> that incited the January 6th insurrection in Washington, D.C. His obsession with these dangerously inflammatory allegations that the 2020 presidential election was stolen from him remains the focus of his public commentaries. It’s the same insanity he’s been dispensing for months<\/a><\/strong>. And the madness that he’s spreading is almost certainly going to lead to further violence.<\/p>\n

\"Donald<\/p>\n

On Saturday Trump issued<\/a><\/strong> another of his ego-soaked press releases. And his spokeswoman, Liz Harrington, obediently posted it on Twitter, a violation of Twitter’s terms of service for which she should be suspended<\/a><\/strong>. The message was a tedious reprise of the very same tantrums Trump has been throwing for months but which, for some reason, his glassy-eyed cult followers never seem to tire of.<\/p>\n

However, this statement began with an awkwardly phrased assertion that serves as an inadvertent admission. Trump wrote that it’s…<\/p>\n

“Very interesting, funny, yet sad, that every time I read or hear a story in the Lamestream Media about the 2020 Presidential Election Scam, it always is preceded by the fact that, \u201cwhile no evidence of voter fraud is available,\u201d or statements to that effect, this could not be more incorrect or \u201cfake.\u201d Massive evidence has been accumulated which shows voter fraud at a level that is virtually beyond comprehension.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So Trump is now conceding that all of these stories about alleged election fraud are “preceded by the fact”<\/em> that, \u201cno evidence of voter fraud is available\u201d?<\/em> That’s good to know.<\/p>\n

Of course, Trump isn’t really acknowledging reality. Just like he stubbornly fails to accept the reality of his humiliating election loss to Joe Biden. He’s just incapable of forming a coherent thought. And that is evident in the rest of this press release that purports to show that “Massive evidence has been accumulated which shows voter fraud at a level that is virtually beyond comprehension.”<\/em> He must be keeping all of that “massive evidence”<\/em> locked up at his Mar-All-Ego resort on Florida. And what is “beyond comprehension”<\/em> is that anyone would believe his ravings.<\/p>\n

Right off the bat Trump claims that there was something amiss with 35,000 votes in Georgia. But while says to “check out the recent story,”<\/em> he doesn’t bother to provide a link or even cite the publisher. That may be because it comes from a single – and utterly disreputable – source, the ultra-rightist Federalist. And then Trump says to “watch what is happening in Arizona, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania,”<\/em> where there is nothing notable happening at all, other than some Kool-Aid drinking Trumpists trying unsuccessfully to manufacture “proof”<\/em> of election fraud.<\/p>\n

Following that, Trump whined about “Republicans in name only (RINOS)”<\/em> who he believes are deliberately covering up the “corruption”<\/em> of Democrats, for which he is still unable to offer even a sliver of evidence. Nevertheless, he babbles about the “fake”<\/em> “Mainstream Media”<\/em> and insists that “People and facts are coming out at a level which can only be called ‘fast and furious.'”<\/em> But the only actions coming out “fast and furious”<\/em> are investigations into criminal election interference by Trump and his anti-democracy minions. Those probes are currently ongoing in Arizona, Michigan, and Georgia, so far.<\/p>\n

In addition to Saturday’s press release, Trump also called in to Fox News for his regular tongue-bathing by Maria Bartiromo. The shamelessly sycophantic Bartiromo let Trump ramble on about the shooting of violent insurrectionist Ashli Babbitt. Naturally, Trump suggests that the shooting was a Democratic assassination plot of an “innocent, wonderful, incredible woman.”<\/em> that originated in the office of Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer:<\/p>\n
