A massive controversy has broken out after president Trump appeared to have pressured Georgia's top election official, a fellow Republican, in an extraordinary phone conversation to "find enough votes" to overturn Joe Biden's victory in the state.

The call is the latest move in Trump's two-month effort insisting that his loss to Joe Biden was the result of widespread voter fraud, an allegation he has failed to provide any evidence for.

Vice President-elect Kamala Harris lashed out at the president calling a brazen abuse of power. ‘Have you all heard about that recorded conversation? Well, it was yes, certainly the voice of desperation. Most certainly that and it was a bald faced, bold abuse of power by the President of the United States,’ Kamala Harris said.

Trump couldn't handle the fact that Biden has won the traditionally conservative state by fewer than 12,000 votes in the recent elections. This, among many other failures and defeats for the president in recent weeks (the latest one being his veto on the defense bill being overcome in the Senate).

Still more grounds for prosecuting the douche in chief?

Hell, yes. Georgia Bureau of Investigation, Fulton County, whomever's appropriate to handle it.

Trump should be prosecuted for multiple reasons but I don't think he will be. If he is, though, I'll be happy.

I listened to that entire call last night, thanks to a link provided on the WTFJHT website. Utterly disgraceful. You know, the more I hear the Don's voice the more I can't help thinking what a crook the guy is. I mean, in a sense he sounds so machismo. But he's so pedophilish at the same time. Lol think I just coined another word in the English language. Kinda like former Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich, who now calls himself a "Trumpocrat." But Blago was never a pedophile. At least not that we know of.
