Trump is deranged but not that deranged. There was no universe where he or any of his cronies would have thought releasing the tape would be a benefit...he cant play victim if he is the strong man. He tried to make it sound like the SOS was ignoring his pleas on Twitter...you dont do that if you are going to release a tape of you acting like a strong man trying to blackmail someone.
We don't know how deranged and delusional this guy is. He's not once been interested in running this country, but want's to break the law to keep doing it.

As Duncan Black said the other day, the only reason he wants to continue to be president, is so he can still be his favorite character on his favorite tv show.
And avoid federal prison.
Your spelling is better for a number of obvious reasons but - bear with me - if I were to adopt it (and I’ve often wondered this even in simpler times) would I still have license to pronounce it as if I were so for Cocoa Puffs? Or would such a change soften the first syllable to harmonize with pedantic “umbrage”?The "cuckoo coup" is the perfect name.
The "cuckoo coup" is the perfect name.
Ironic, the mascot for Cocoa Puffs is orange and sports a pair coked-out eyes.

Parler, the actual company that runs it, has said they support 230 appeal and feel they will thrive under it. I swear to god no one o the Right knows how to read...
And the head of the Proud Boys was arrested for burning the BLM banner at the Black Church.
edit: Parler's CEO has now changed his mind and does NOT support repeal. So apparently even Parler is in civil war mode with itself.
But only the states have authority to appoint electors, in accordance with state law. Congress has only a narrow role in the presidential election process. Its job is to count the electors submitted by the states, not to determine which electors the states should have sent.
The text of the United States Constitution, and the Twelfth Amendment in particular, is clear. With respect to presidential elections, there is no authority for Congress to make value judgments in the abstract regarding any state’s election laws or the manner in which they have been implemented. Nor does Congress have discretion to disqualify electors based on its own finding that fraud occurred in that state’s election. Congress has one job here: to count electoral votes that have in fact been cast by any state, as designated by those authorized to do so under state law.
As of this moment, not a single state has submitted multiple conflicting slates of electoral votes. In other words, every state has sent either (a) Biden electors, or (b) Trump electors. Of the six states as to which questions have been raised, five have legislatures that are controlled by Republicans, and they all have the power to send a new slate of electoral votes to Congress if they deem such action appropriate under state law. Unless that happens between now and January 6, 2021, Congress will have no authority to influence the outcome of the 2020 presidential election.
From a purely partisan perspective, Republican presidential candidates have won the national popular vote only once in the last 32 years. They have therefore depended on the electoral college for nearly all presidential victories in the last generation. If we perpetuate the notion that Congress may disregard certified electoral votes—based solely on its own assessment that one or more states mishandled the presidential election—we will be delegitimizing the very system that led Donald Trump to victory in 2016, and that could provide the only path to victory in 2024.
Trump's first words in GA: "That was a rigged election."
