Make no mistake, he was hoping that there would be deaths inside that chamber.
I have no doubts about this. None.
I can't wait for the payback

Once a state has certified an election, is there even a way to reverse it?
Still trying to understand what Trump thinks GaSoS can do.
(I get that sowing doubt underwrites his strategy of getting Congress to object to certain states' EC votes, so I mean at the state level.)
Hmmm I wonder where they got that idea...
Raffensperger: Provisional ballots are allowed by state law.
Trump: Sure, but I mean, are they counted or did you just hold them back because they, you know, in other words, how many provisional ballots do you have in the state?
Raffensperger: We’ll get you that number.
Trump: Because most of them are made out to the name Trump. Because these are people that were scammed when they came in. And we have thousands of people that have testified or that want to testify when they came in they were probably going to vote on November 3. And they were told I’m sorry, you’ve already been voted for, you’ve already voted. The women, men started screaming, No. I proudly voted til November 3. They said, I’m sorry, but you’ve already been voted for and you have a ballot and these people are beside themselves. So they went out and they filled in a provisional ballot, putting the name Trump on it.
Summary of phone call
If you just let us do the vote counting, we can prove that we won.
Huh
At least he was honest by admitting he's a schmuck. Twice.
He's trying to get GA officials to admit their numbers may be wrong
Or, to at least entertain the possibility so that there is justification to stall further.
GA seemed to hold strong on not playing that game.
Trump is the quintessential SuperSpreader
and I'm not even talking about Covid, although that too.
I'm talking about his well-known, well-used, and self-confessed strategy of starting a rumor or talking point, and then "phoning it in" to the Press--literally--often disguised as another, eg, John Barron. Then, when it is published, citing it to spread it. Soon, it becomes "everyone says" followed shortly by "everyone knows" and ultimately, "you know."
He was a master at amplifying his own message, long before Twitter or any digital social media existed.
And that is exactly, precisely how, right now, there are millions of people who believe that this election was "stolen" from him. There weren't even TWO people who independently started this rumor, much less thousands or millions. One person, Trump, seeded it. He's been tilling the soil, warning of how the election would be rigged. He's been laying the fertilizer on nice and thick. And then he took that seed and shoved it down into that rich, fertile soil, and started watering it daily. Some say it grew like Kudzu.
And thus we arrive at a point where elected officials--Serious People--state that they must take an action--contest the election--because they can't ignore what millions of people believe happened: rigged election.
I know that we here all know and understand that Trump does this. But it would have been a good reminder for the rest of the populace. How many of them know Trump's history with this tactic? Our side needs to learn how to message more effectively. And do it over, and over, and over again. And then repeat. Once more for good measure. Aw hell, once more won't hurt. Can you hear me now?
