Closing take
The year ended the way it had gone on: with Trump refusing to accept reality and allies still trying to turn a loss into a constitutional crisis. The paperwork was piling up, the arguments were thinning out, and the country was left with one more day of expensive, desperate nonsense.

Serious fuckup
Trump and his lawyers spent December 31 trying to pry loose Georgia’s certified presidential result with yet another lawsuit. The filing asked a federal judge to set aside the certification of the state’s electors and effectively give Trump another crack at overturning Biden’s win. It was a legally aggressive move, but it also underscored how little Trump-world had left besides courtroom fantasy and pressure tactics.
