While we’re still waiting for the election shoe to drop, obvious bullshit became even more conspicuous in a press briefing a little while ago by the malignant T-Rump, who blathered about how the whole balloting process is geared to steal victory from him. (I was taking a nap, missed it live).

So bogus the pitch, MSNBC was forced to hit the mute button:

WATCH: "OK. Here we are again in the unusual position of not only interrupting the president of the United States, but correcting the president of the United States," Brian Williams says on @MSNBC moments into the president's statement tonight. pic.twitter.com/2AliTQuSsr

One wonders how a person can just stand there and lie — from Mediaite and someone who wasn’t napping:

Speaking from the White House, Trump reasserted his baseless claims of voter fraud, reiterating the specious claims made by a number of his surrogates in Philadelphia, Las Vegas, and Atlanta.

“If you count the legal votes, I easily win,” he said,
“If you count the illegal votes, they can try to steal the election from us. If you count the votes that came in late we’re looking at them very strongly but a lot of votes came in late.”

Trump continued to speciously claim that the ongoing counting of legal votes in states that are still undecided are designed to take away his lead and remove possible electoral votes he would receive when he was previously ahead.
He then boasted about how he had already “decisively won many critical states including massive victories in Florida, Iowa, Indiana, Ohio,” which he claimed despite what he called” “interference from big media, big money, and big tech as everybody saw we won by historic numbers.”

He then pivoted to calling out pollsters, who he alleged had “got it knowingly wrong.”

“We had polls that were so ridiculous and everybody knew it at the time,” Trump claimed.
“There was no blue wave that they predicted. They thought there was going to be a big blue wave. That was false. That was done for suppression reasons.”

Vapors…
