Let's all spare a thought for the poor bugger who caught Covid and lost his job straight afterwards.

Oh, and he spent 1.6 billion more than he had, trying to somehow win the election anyway.

Now he wants you to pay for it.

(Yes, most of Trump's "election defence fund" cash, is actually not paying for legal action at all, it is going to pay off some small part of the massive debts.)

^The incompetence that just keeps on killing:
The Hill wrote:The United States on Tuesday set a new record for coronavirus hospitalizations, with around 62,000 people currently in the hospital with the virus, according to the COVID Tracking Project.

The country also set another record for new coronavirus cases, with more than 130,000 in a single day, as case counts continue to climb.

Timothy Snyder, professor of history at Yale, wrote:

What Donald Trump is attempting to do has a name: coup d’état.

Poorly organized though it might seem, it is not bound to fail. It must be made to fail.

Coups are defeated quickly or not at all. While they take place we are meant to look away, as many of us are doing. When they are complete we are powerless.
