This is what gave my brain a 'trainwreck' lewislynn:

Trump was not heavyweight either a candidate, but...

Vespa is usually better than this. Whatever happened to proofreading?

I know what you mean. How about this as a synopsis (I know folks are impatient...but...this thing is coming to a head...it is going to be a surprise to a lot of Americans when the summonses start coming out and their house of cards on this idiotic collusion comes tumbling down.

That lawsuit last week filed by the DNC against Trump? That is clearest sign to me yet that many on the left see as well and clearly as some of us do, that this farce of “Russian Collusion” is going to become unsupportable, and that they are running out of options.

That lawsuit is just to buy more time, and keep this fairy tale of collusion in the forefront until the election. Just watch...

As soon as that lawsuit enters the discovery phase, the DNC will drop that lawsuit like a hot rock. They know that if they enter that phase, those “hacked” DNC servers will have to be exposed...and there is going to be no evidence whatsoever of collusion...and may well present evidence of “other” things they don’t want public.

This is just a ploy. And it won’t work. They are going to go down on this.

Here’s what the Democrats and their friends in the lugenpresse had to say about not accepting an election result, in October 2016:

A ‘HORRIFYING’ REPUDIATION OF DEMOCRACY — The Washington Post, Oct. 20, 2016

DENIAL OF DEMOCRACY — Daily News (New York), Oct. 20, 2016

DANGER TO DEMOCRACY — The Dallas Morning News, Oct. 20, 2016

ONE SCARY MOMENT; IT ALL BOILED DOWN TO ... DEMOCRACY — Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Oct. 21, 2016

“(Shock) spiked down the nation’s spinal column last night and today when the Republican nominee threatened that this little election thing you got there, this little democratic process you’ve got here, it’s nice, it’s fine, but he doesn’t necessarily plan on abiding by its decision when it comes to the presidency.” — Rachel Maddow, Oct. 20, 2016

“Trump’s answer on accepting the outcome of the vote is the most disgraceful statement by a presidential candidate in 160 years.” — Bret Stephens, then-deputy editorial page editor at The Wall Street Journal

“I guess we’re all going to have to wait until Nov. 9 to find out if we still have a country — if Donald Trump is in the mood for a peaceful transfer of power. Or if he’s going to wipe his fat a— with the Constitution.” — CBS’s Stephen Colbert, Oct. 19, 2016

“It’s unprecedented for a nominee of a major party to themselves signal that they would not accept — you know, respect the results of an election. We’ve never had that happen before. ... This really presents a potentially difficult problem for governing ...” — MSNBC’S Joy Reid, Oct. 22, 2016

“This is very dangerous stuff ... would seriously impair our functioning as a democracy. ... This is about as serious as it gets in the United States.” — CNN’s Peter Beinart, Oct. 20, 2016

“Obviously, it’s despicable for him to pretend that there’s any chance that he would not accept the results of this election; it would be — in 240 years you’ve never had anybody do it. ...” — CNN’s Van Jones, Oct. 20, 2016

“That’s horrifying. Let’s be clear about what he is saying and what that means. He is denigrating — he is talking down our democracy. And I am appalled that someone who is the nominee of one of our two major parties would take that position.” – Hillary Clinton

““Every losing presidential candidate in modern times has accepted the will of the voters, even in extraordinarily close races, such as when John F. Kennedy narrowly defeated Richard M. Nixon in 1960 and George W. Bush beat Al Gore in Florida to win the presidency in 2000,” – New York Times

While they complained about Russians and the elections, the real action is the millions of illegal voters they registered in attempt to influence the election.

The enemy of democracy is a whole lot closer to home—like in their mirror.

DemocRATS Overplaying a Bust Hand.

Hey, even 1 % hands win 1% of the time. When they do they are usually really big wins too.
