In a Truth Social post Thursday evening, Trump canceled Monday’s event and said the report would not be released that day, either.

“Rather than releasing the Report on the Rigged & Stolen Georgia 2020 Presidential Election on Monday, my lawyers would prefer putting this, I believe, Irrefutable & Overwhelming evidence of Election Fraud & Irregularities in formal Legal Filings,” he wrote in the post. “Therefore, the News Conference is no longer necessary!”

ABC News reported Thursday morning that Trump’s legal advisers were actively urging him to call off the event, arguing that continued claims of election fraud could further complicate his legal problems in the Georgia case. NBC News has not confirmed the report.


And no one was surprised.

      A lot of people’s social lives are breaking down, and generally the loudest voices are right wing conspiracies. It’s not that they’re dumb, it’s that often the only people willing to acknowledge that society isn’t working are reactionary as hell

          The amount of "left wing" unvaccinated hippies is astounding, and from there it seems like the right wing conspiracies slip in. Hippies are basically yuppies with a coat of mud though in my experience.

      A lot of people lost their fucking minds over the course of the pandemic. My mother (formerly an intelligent and compassionate professional who owned a business in the banking and finance space) got pushed down the conspiracy theory rabbit hole over the course of the pandemic, and became a total and complete fucking moron that only gets their 'facts' from far-right blogs, youtube videos, and facebook posts that 'own the libs'.

      I am no longer surprised with the level of enthusiasm these people have for intellectual poison.

        There's studies showing that post COVID symptoms are loss of cognitive function.

          She started down the path towards being an idiot before the pandemic. Every phonecall was some new bullshit that she'd latch on to, and when I calmly tried to explain how actually worked, she'd lose her shit, scream at me, and hang up. The isolation and disinformation campaigns throughout the pandemic broke her brain.

      I like to imagine he has a serious sharpie problem. He’s completely hooked on sniffing sharpies all day long. It starts with a one-pack, and before you know it, you’re getting bulk discounts by pretending to work in academia. The feeling when you twist off the cap of a new sharpie? Can’t be beat.

      It would explain A LOT

    He's still going on about this? He still believes the elections were rigged? Wow, this would be a comedy if it wasn't real. For added irony, in the one election he actually "won", he was the candidate with less votes and only won because of some undemocratic electoral college nonsense lol.

        He's implied a return to twitter soon recently. Presumably for election exposure.
