Massive fan of the two word response from the SAG AFTRA (it's not quite what you are hoping for):

That will probably rile him more than most other two word combinations.

Lou Dobbs show on Fox being cancelled out of the blue after 10 years following him being named in a lawsuit brought by Smartmatic.  But apparently the two things are unrelated!

Interestingly it’s being covered on all the US news websites other than Fox!

It's so clearly a foregone conclusion I can't even face watching or even reading any reporting about this. 

Fucking angrifying. 

You have to assume that, much like last time, the point is to show the public that the Republicans will back their guy no matter what. There may be a small percentage of Republican voters who think their representatives would put their country, their constitution, their democracy before their own interests, and this will demonstrate that's simply not the case.

Then again, there's always the chance that it's a vanishingly small percentage of people who give a shit, and that cognitive dissonance is strong enough that people can believe in their democracy and also believe that, if their side loses, it's perfectly OK to ignore the results if you show enough force.

Trump just got the all time high vote total for a Republican. 14 million votes more than Mitt Romney (125% of Romney's total).

Republican voters are clearly not looking to distance themselves from Trump.

There was always some talk about him going on somewhere, whether at work or with friends. Now it's crickets.

Hopefully he'll just fade away and die a lonely man.
