This is Putin

Trump's refusal to transition power makes no sense otherwise

Yesterday his new "coronavirus czar" told Michigan to "rise up" against new virus regulations, after the attempted kidnapping of a governor.

Putin is obviously calling the shots, and Trump is going to do everything he can to burn us down before Biden is sworn in.

How much damage will he be allowed to do before everyone, including Republicans, say "enough is enough?"

1. "Putin is obviously calling the shots" - if it is obvious then surely you can cite some evidence.

It makes no political sense for any leader to pull such a stunt, as the election results make plain, and any idiot could have told Trump. So why do it? The harm is causes to this country IS THE GOAL. And who would exploit a pandemic to harm us? Our archenemy. PUTIN.

as the party of 'freedom' against the nanny-state tyranny of the "lib-tards". It was a strategy that was partially successful. While Trump went down to defeat, the party made gains in the house, held off the Democrats in the Senate, and made significant gains in the state legislatures.
