And this federal judge was appointed by President Trump. Nuff said? — PolitiTweet.org

@JoeBiden isn’t being unduly “conciliatory,” @Amy_Siskind. He’s just being a grownup and not wasting his breath calling Trump names. — PolitiTweet.org

This is no “meet & greet.” It’s a meeting to implement a White House plot to steal Michigan’s 16 electoral votes, a criminal conspiracy that any lawyer worth $2/hour, let alone Rudy’s $2000/hour, would counsel his or her client to stay far away from. https://t.co/Znbm7qqZ8c — PolitiTweet.org

Hope you can tune in to my conversation with @ErinBurnett on CNN at 7:06 EST tonight on Trump’s latest efforts to steal the election or stall the transition. Lives are on the line with every passing day. — PolitiTweet.org

“This essay should be taken as a warning, not a prophecy.” The option of getting 3 state legislatures to name Trump slates of their own despite their citizens’ votes for Biden is legally crazy — but that doesn’t mean Trump won’t try it. https://t.co/0VNTJb09Gq — PolitiTweet.org

This revised version of the Trump federal claim to grab PA’s 20 electoral votes regardless of the votes cast by the state’s citizens gives new meaning to the term “chutzpah.” https://t.co/ndkWcsvRGG — PolitiTweet.org

From one perspective, this was a massive victory. From another, it was closer than 2016: Shifting 45,000 votes in AZ, GA, and WIS wd’ve led to an EC vote of 269-269 and a House election choosing Trump because each State gets just 1 vote. Lesson: The Electoral College must go. — PolitiTweet.org

“The two weeks since the election should give Americans greater confidence that our democracy can’t so easily be subverted.” True, but it can be turned on its head, as @fotoole has brilliantly shown in the latest @TheAtlantic https://t.co/nIT6ZbQ861 — PolitiTweet.org

2000 is not a legitimate precedent for @GSAEmily’s damaging delay in issuing the statutory “ascertainment” of @JoeBiden as the “apparent” winner in 2020. Not even close. Listen to her 2000 GSA predecessor explain: — PolitiTweet.org

“In this frame of mind, there can never be a result of the 2020 election. For Trump and his followers there are not five stages of grief, leading from denial to acceptance. The furthest their sense of it can go is to the second stage, anger.” https://t.co/TzgFyPVJgS — PolitiTweet.org

“The Trump presidency has been no nightmare. It has been daylight delinquency, it’s transgressions of democratic values on lurid display in all their corruption and cruelty and deadly incompetence.” https://t.co/TzgFyPVJgS — PolitiTweet.org

“This is zombie politics — the life-after-death of a former conservative party. And as Gothic stories tell us, it is very hard to kill the undead.” https://t.co/TzgFyPVJgS — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

“What Trump stumbled on was that the solution to the party’s chronic inability to win a majority of voters in presidential elections was to stop trying and instead to embrace and enforce minority rule. This possibility is built into the American system.” https://t.co/TzgFyPVJgS — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

“Long national nightmares do not end in real life as they do in Oz. Donald Trump himself crawled out of Nixon’s political grave more lawless, more shameless, more more openly unhinged. And he will not lie down.” https://t.co/TzgFyPVJgS — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

“In a grotesque parody of the Christian narrative, Trump presented his contraction of COVID-19 not as a consequence of his own narcissistic recklessness but as a Jesus-like self-sacrifice.” https://t.co/TzgFyPVJgS — PolitiTweet.org

This article makes a no-brainer seem a hard choice. There’s zero doubt that @JoeBiden is the “apparent” winner, whi… https://t.co/NzuCdJq6KP — PolitiTweet.org

When even Fox & Friends urges Trump and his agent @GSAEmily to cooperate with the transition even while crazy Rudy keeps fighting the election results in the courts, it’s time for sane Republicans to rally around the flag rather than around Dear Leader. https://t.co/G3FM8zudnA — PolitiTweet.org

In fairness,Trump isn’t responsible for ALL 249,000 deaths from Covid-19 in the US. Just most of them. “I didn’t kill all those people, yer honor, I just killed the vast majority.” Some defense! — PolitiTweet.org

Oh, Graham’s claim adds up, all right. It adds up to a big fat zero. https://t.co/76XkRZN5at — PolitiTweet.org

Of course I meant 4-0, not 4-4. Stupid typo. Too much multitasking. — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

The popular outcry against the absurd 2-2 vote of the Wayne County Canvassing Board just led the Board to come to its senses and certify the county for Biden 4-4. He won there by over 300,000 votes! Shows that local democracy can work — but only when the people remain vigilant. — PolitiTweet.org

Good question. — PolitiTweet.org

There are indeed. Graham is in deep trouble. Finally. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump just “terminated” Chris Krebs, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency director. By tweet, of course. As predicted. His reason? That Krebs dared to call the Nov. 3 election “the most secure in American history.” The truth is kryptonite to Trump. — PolitiTweet.org

Emily W. Murphy, the GSA administrator @GSAEmily who has yet to do her duty of “ascertaining” Biden as the “apparent” winner, has  been hunting for a new job, reports ABC News. Her lack of cooperation, experts dealing with the pandemic warn, will result in more dead Americans. — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

Hope you can tune in on my conversation with @Lawrence on MSNBC ~ 10:20 ET tonite. We’ll discuss @GSAEmily’s dangerous obstruction of the transition and @JoeBiden’s posture re probing Trump and his crooked cronies once Biden takes office. Should be interesting! — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

In every election in the past 60 years (save 2000), GSA acted by the next day to name an “apparent” winner and trigger the transition even as mail-in ballots and overseas votes kept rolling in and even as recounts and legal challenges continued for weeks. Why not now, @GSAEmily? — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

In the Presidential Transition Act, Congress expressly found that any “disruption [in] the transfer of the executive power could produce results detrimental to the safety and well-being of the United States and its people” — including those who voted against the apparent winner. — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

In 2004, the GSA “ascertainment” of Bush as the “apparent” winner was made while recounts to decide between Bush and Kerry were underway in NH & Ohio. And that election was far closer than this one. So @GSAEmily has no excuse for stalling until recounts and lawsuits are finished — PolitiTweet.org
