Shortly after the 2020 election Donald Trump called the secretary of state of Georgia and begged him to "find" the extra votes to give Trump a victory there. We know this because Brad Raffensperger recorded the conversation.
Now it turns out Trump did the same thing with the governor of Arizona. Doug Ducey didn't record his conversation with Trump, but he described it to friends:
President Donald Trump tried to pressure Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey (R) to overturn the state’s presidential election results, saying that if enough fraudulent votes could be found it would overcome Trump’s narrow loss in Arizona.
....Four people familiar with the call said Trump spoke specifically about his shortfall of more than 10,000 votes in Arizona and then espoused a range of false claims that would show he overwhelmingly won the election in the state and encouraged Ducey to study them. At the time, Trump’s attorneys and allies spread false claims to explain his loss, including that voters who had died and noncitizens had cast ballots.
....After learning that Ducey was not being supportive of his claims, Trump grew angry and publicly attacked him.
This is nothing new. It's just confirmation of what we all knew already. But confirmation is good.
If I was Trump I'd be pissed. Much money, resources, and effort were expended for the Governor to sit in the mansion, he owed. Now some might say that the Governor was not elected for Trump but for the Republican party, I'd say that party died last decade and those some people better start using more precise language.

Every time we find out about something else bad Trump has done, I wonder what's still out there that we'll learn about eventually, and how much will never see the light of day.
America threw away a great deal of its honor in the 2016 election. The question is, will it happen again next year?
This is the latest of a long, steady, and carefully-timed stream of leaks. At some point the stream will run dry, but the way it is being managed suggests that there is lots more still in the queue.
Of course he did. Was there ever a doubt? Coercion is part of the toolkit he learned from Roy Cohn. But Roy probably told him to never have any conversation recorded.
Notwithstanding the Mueller Report and the hatchet job done by Durham, Orange Jesus's unfathomable deference to Vlad only makes sense if he really has some dirt or commercial leverage over him. One day perhaps we will really know.
It is not obvious that Putin needs has to have something about Trump to explain Trump's behavior.
Trump genuinely admires tyrants, and specially Putin, who took over a wobbling democracy, rather than inherit it. So he just deomnsrates his admiration.
He loves tyrants, but politically, it would have made sense to have thrown Putin under the bus after his invasion failed. He could have easily have told his moronic fans that he always mistrusted Putin and they would have believed it, like they believe all the rest of the bull shit he spews out.
I likes Vlad because he perceives him as a "strong man'. Just as he perceives himself as a "strong man." Two pees in a pod.
"Two pees in a pod."
I see what you did there.
The "librul media" covered this pretty much in real time. One of the high points of the Post article is where Gov Ducey is literally signing the certification of Joe Biden's electoral win in Arizona (on camera) and his cell phone rings. It's Trump, as viewers can tell by the "Hail to the Chief" ringtone.
Ducey takes out his phone, mutes it, and sets it aside. Then he finishes signing.
When rfk, jr takes his shirt off he starts giving that Vladimort Puddin' vibe.
Be still my stupid heart.
Good catch.
