Trump called Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger.
First trump insulted and demeaned Raffensperger, then flattered him, then begged, and then when none of that worked, Trump threatened Raffensperger with legal action, suggesting he'd be tried for criminal actions.

Raffensperger recorded it all.
And then gave the recording to the Washington Post, who made it public.
There's no denying it. Those are Trump's words. That's Trump's voice. That's Trump, admitting on tape, YET AGAIN, his own criminal actions.

Now, in a rational country, or even this one in times previous to Trump, this recording would be damning evidence of a crime.
Nixon was impeached for less. So was Clinton.
Hell, SO WAS TRUMP.
But we don't live in a rational country, or even the America of four years ago.

There isn't a Republican in Congress with the balls to hold this criminal scumbag to account. Evidence, as if any of us needed more, the oath they swore with their grasping hands on their shitty holy book before their shitty miserable spiteful god means absolutely jack shit.

Trump should be immediately removed from office, and prosecuted for this crime. Jailed. Hauled away in handcuffs. Held accountable.
He won't be, of course.
Because Trump is NEVER held accountable.

Never. Not by Republicans. Not by Democrats. Not by voters. No one will do anything. Democrats will be outraged for ten minutes, they'll argue and protest and wave their arms about, but they won't DO anything because they're incapable of organizing a fucking salad fight.

Never Trumper Republicans will sigh and bemoan how Trump is destroying their party, but they won't DO anything for fear of losing the base and besides what if Trump does overthrow the election, they'll need plausible deniability.

The Stormtrumpers will laugh their mean little laughter and gleefully own the libs ha ha HA, the press will sell some copy, and all the while Susan Collins will stand to one side looking gravely concerned.

And no one will do a goddamn thing.
And in two years, neither will the fucking voters.
This is Trump's America, the wasteland of apathetic democracy.

Meanwhile: here's Trump threatening and trying to blackmail REPUBLICANS.
If you're a Republican, you're NEXT. Yes, you are. He'll come for you next. You just watch and see if he doesn't.

This guy isn't your friend. Keep him in power, you're going to see a Night of the Long Knives when they come for YOU. But just like Ernst Röhm and the SA, Republicans are too fucking blind to see it. They think because they carried water for Trump, they'll be spared.

I'm sure that's exactly what Brian Kemp and Brad Raffensperger thought.
Sooner or later, Trump betrays EVERYBODY.
Every. Body.

Trump has betrayed his country, his party, his oath, his office, his friends, his wives (plural), and the very spirit of the Republic.
For the life of me, I can't understand how you could be such a goddamn FOOL that you think Trump WOULDN'T betray you next.
He will.
