Using his loss as a ax….
He continues swinging away at any Republican lawmakers that do NOT embrace his Bull Shit….
Donald Trump HAS less than 30 days in office….
The process to change administrations is well on its way….
But Trump is raising money on ‘his’ reality and using it to whipsaw Republican lawmakers down to his last day in office…..
And while the internal Republican Party conflict festers, White House officials are scrambling in private to rein in Trump’s increasing embrace of conspiracy theorists as the defeated president and his most ardent allies continue to plot efforts to subvert the outcome of the Nov. 3 election.
But it all appears to have hardened Trump, who — having been out of sight for more than a week — is continuing to push baseless claims of election fraud, while those closest to him are unwilling to challenge him publicly and are instead only bolstering his efforts.
“Republicans in the Senate so quickly forget. Right now they would be down 8 seats without my backing them in the last Election,” Trump tweeted Tuesday night. “RINO John Thune, ‘Mitch’s boy,’ should just let it play out. South Dakota doesn’t like weakness. He will be primaried in 2022, political career over!!!”
Trump appeared to be referring to comments from the second-ranking GOP senator when he likened efforts to contest the counting of electoral college votes in Congress to going “down like a shot dog.”
“As our election contest continues, I’ll make you a promise: We’re going to keep fighting until every legal vote is counted,” Vice President Pence said Tuesday at an event in West Palm Beach, Fla. “We’re going to keep fighting until every illegal vote is thrown out. We’re going to win Georgia, we’re going to save America, and we’ll never stop fighting to make America great again. You watch.”….
Note…
Maybe if Trump wrecks things enough ?
Democrats could actually have clear sailing for 20222 and 2024?
Trump Backs Primary Challenge Against John Thune
President Trump backed a 2022 challenge to Sen. John Thune (R-SD), tweeting that his political career will be “over” and calling Thune a “RINO” and “Mitch’s boy.”
He added: “South Dakota doesn’t like weakness.”
Trump Orchestrates Final Loyalty Test
“President Trump is plotting a final stand in Congress on Jan. 6, casting it as the ultimate loyalty test in his quest to remain in power and shutting out anyone who won’t get in line,” Politico reports.
“Trump has been strategizing in recent days with a band of his fiercest congressional supporters about the effort, which will involve lodging objections during the typically pro forma congressional certification of President-elect Joe Biden’s victory.”
“It’s a gambit that even Republican leaders and those around Trump concede is doomed to fail… But that’s not the only point… The objections will also force Republicans in Congress to go on record voting to affirm Biden’s victory — acknowledging the outcome and likely inflaming Trump’s diehard supporters, a crucial GOP faction that has joined the president in denying the election results.”
Washington Post: Republicans plunge into open battle over attempts to overturn Trump’s loss to Biden.
And let’s be very clear…
The overwhelming majority of people who call themselves “Republican ?”
Voted for this erratic ,mean spirited, obscene gangster and persist, despite a total lack of even an iota of evidence ,That the election was “stolen.”
So?
What exactly is he “taking apart?”
The GOPeer lawmakers …..
Who ARE the party in Congress….
At least the leadership and those who have voted FOR a sure thing that may NOT be anymore…
Well the main issue is ,does Trump actually veto they bill?
He’s been known to make these type threats before without acting upon them.
If he doesn’t?Then the whole thing was just him mouthing off.
Republican House Leader Kevin McCarthy says that any attempt to increase the stimulus checks to $ 2000 by unanimous consent in the House will not happen.
Confirmation of pettiness and ego?

GOP official: “The Trump tantrum has nothing to do with check size or spending—he was fully aware of the the negotiations carried out in his behalf by Meadows and Mnuchin and never said a peep. This is about McConnell and Thune acknowledging the inevitable…
