The guy that Giuliani dumped "Hunter Biden" laptop on tried to sue Twitter. The judge found no evidence:
The fall-out to Mac Isaac was swift, with him receiving threats and eventually being forced out of business. In an attempt to obtain some semblance of justice, Isaac sued Twitter in a federal district court for defamation.

With Twitter gone, Trump is still managing to tweet.

The Trump plan to save his ass/win is to run out the clock to the 2023 congress, that might have a GOP senate.

Biden overrules Trump effort to keep White House files from 6 January panel
The National Archives told to give documents to House committee despite ex-president’s attempt assert executive privilege

Joe Biden has blocked an attempt by former US president Donald Trump to withhold documents from Congress related to the 6 January insurrection at the US Capitol.

Jen Psaki, the White House press secretary, said Biden authorized the National Archives, a government agency that holds records from Trump’s time in office, to turn over an initial batch of documents requested by a House of Representatives select committee investigating the riot.
The corruption continues.

The incredible businessman.

'Donald Trump Falls Off The Forbes 400 For First Time In 25 Years'
Donald Trump is worth an estimated $2.5 billion, leaving him $400 million short of the cutoff to make this year’s Forbes 400 list of America’s richest people. The real estate mogul is just as wealthy as he was a year ago, when he stood at No. 339 on the ranking, but he is down $600 million since the start of the pandemic.

...

If Trump is looking for someone to blame, he can start with himself. Five years ago, he had a golden opportunity to diversify his fortune. Fresh off the 2016 election, federal ethics officials were pushing Trump to divest his real estate assets. That would have allowed him to reinvest the proceeds into broad-based index funds and assume office free of conflicts of interest.

Others in the executive branch have little choice but to listen to ethics officials. People who hold assets that might conflict with their day jobs in government run the risk of violating the criminal conflicts-of-interest law. The president, however, is exempt from that statute, as Trump proudly noted during a press conference nine days before entering the White House. “I could actually run my business and run government at the same time,” he told a crowd of reporters assembled in Trump Tower. “I don’t like the way that looks, but I would be able to do that if I wanted to. I would be the only one that would be able to do that.”

Trump decided to hang onto his assets. At the time, they were worth an estimated $3.5 billion, after subtracting debt. If he had instead chosen to sell off everything, there is a chance that he would have had to pay significant capital gains taxes. Trump acquired his five most valuable holdings long ago, so he likely has huge untaxed gains locked in each of them. If he paid the maximum possible capital gains tax—23.8% to the federal government, plus 8.8% to the New York State authorities on every penny he owned—that would have shaved about $1.1 billion off his fortune, leaving him with $2.4 billion on the first day of his presidency. But what would have appeared to be a huge sacrifice at first could have turned into a lucrative realignment. By plowing that $2.4 billion in an index fund tracking the S&P 500, for example, Trump’s fortune would have ballooned to $4.5 billion by now, leaving him 80% richer than he is today. His refusal to divest, in other words, cost him $2 billion.

Fiona Hill, Iowa, from Guardian:

In an interview published on Friday, Fiona Hill, a former national security staffer in the Trump White House, told Politico: “He is mulling again a return to what he sees more as a crown than the presidency in 2024.

“I feel like we’re at a really critical and very dangerous inflection point in our society, and if Trump – this is not on an ideological basis, this is just purely on an observational basis based on the larger international historical context – if he makes a successful return to the presidency in 2024, democracy’s done. Because it will be on the back of a lie. A fiction.”

In return, Trump called Hill, who was born in the north-east of England, “a Deep State stiff with a nice accent”.

Republicans in congress, outside a small group, are wimps!

The GOP have corrupted the election system from day one. The constitution allows for a corrupt state. Just how do the justify giving two senators per state regardless of the number of inhabitants and the never ending elections. Nevermind each state filling in the elector requirements and the geography of voting areas for the presidential elections. Very democratic.
They know they will always have a big finger in the pie.
