"The application for injunctive relief presented to Justice Alito and by him referred to the Court is denied'"
That was the one sentence Order from the Supreme Court denying the ridiculous attempt by republicans to overturn the will of the people of Pennsylvania in the 2020 general election.
trump's legal team is now 1-50.
Oh, and of the nine justices, there were zero dissenters. Not even trump's three appointees to the highest court in the land would come to his rescue.
Sadly, though, this nightmare is not over. Incredibly, the Texas AG --who is himself under federal indictment-- has filed what has got to be the most frivolous lawsuit in the history of lawsuits to the Supreme Court asking the Supremes to throw out the votes of millions of citizens in four other states. (And here I thought the republican party was the party of state's rights.) I always wonder how these lawyers filing these lawsuits are not sanctioned for these types of filings.
Rest assured that this case too shall be tossed, and Mr. trump will have to leave the White House after Joe Biden is sworn in. But, I'll give him credit, he is milking his long goodbye for as much as he can. He will continue fleecing his supporters out of their hard earned dollars until he has enough to pay for all his legal fees, and live comfortably ever after.
"These tremendous fundraising numbers show President Trump remains the leader and source of energy for the Republican Party and that his supporters are dedicated to fighting for the rightful, legal outcome of the 2020 general election," Trump campaign manager Bill Stepien said in a statement.
What he meant to say was this: These lawsuits are going nowhere, but these suckers who call themselves supporters continue to give us money so we will milk it for as long as we can.
There, fixed it for ya, Bill.
The GOP is officially the trump party. He is now their kingmaker. A New York conman who never worked an honest day in his life represents people who fancy themselves as salt of the earth, honest everyday people. It'd be funny if it wasn't so tragic. Actually, it IS funny. Stupid people are gonna stupid people.

ReplyDeleteI can only imagine the lack of sanctions is down to the same disease that has plagued so many over the last few years: cowardice.
Just like mainstream media figures have refused to call out obvious lies by wingnuts, for few of being accused of a left-wing bias, and just like Republican senators refused to remove Trump, despite his abuses of power, I think a lot of authority figures in the legal profession are also simply scared of the hordes of deranged Trump supporters. Otherwise, I cannot think why they would not bring the hammer down on lawyers who are bringing bad-faith, evidence-free, time-wasting lawsuits before the court, over and over again. Particularly in a time when the courts have huge backlogs, due to COVID.
If lawyers engaged in these shenanigans in any other context, would judges placate them this way? Would bar associations? I have to think they would not. Those lawyers would be risking disbarment.

And now? They tell us we shouldn’t ask questions about the integrity of the 2020 election.
Keep lapping it up, stooges.
In many ways, this administration ending in a blizzard of bogus lawsuits is classic Trump. He spent his real estate career harassing people with lawsuits, relying on his less-wealthy adversaries being beaten into submission because they could not afford the legal fees to defend themselves.
ReplyDeleteI don't think Trump necessarily understood that that tactic wasn't going to work this time around. Nobody is just going to give out a sigh of exhaustion, and settle out of court, and let him have another term as president. Not gonna happen.
And of course, Trump monetizing the whole affair is also classic Trump. And he's already being sued himself by fools who contributed to what they thought was his "stop the steal" legal fund, but who then wised up (too late) about the fact that a lot of this money was actually not going toward the legal fund at all and now want their money back.

ReplyDeleteAll 50 states have certified the results so enough officials have agreed to the results. Can we question the 2016 results too? 2000? 1960? If Republicans are serious they will do what many have been calling for for years, a paper ballot system to backup the voting machines and provide for a paper trail. Also, all 50 states should meet and begin discussions about how to make elections homogenous so everyone in every state is afforded the same level of comfort in the fact their vote was correctly counted. We should have done this a long time ago and we wouldn't be here right now.
"If Republicans are serious they will do what many have been calling for for years, a paper ballot system to backup the voting machines and provide for a paper trail."
ReplyDeleteThey're not serious. They haven't given any real thought to whether the design of voting machines is good or bad. They've just suddenly decided it must be bad (invaded by the ghost of Hugo Chavez, lol), because Trump said so, because Trump didn't win.
"Also, all 50 states should meet and begin discussions about how to make elections homogenous so everyone in every state is afforded the same level of comfort in the fact their vote was correctly counted."
They definitely won't be doing this. If states have to get together to make standardized, universal election rules, blue states will immediately force red states to adopt rules that prevent voter suppression.
The modern GOP want every opportunity to thwart brown people/young people/poor people from voting. They are clearly not big fans of democracy.

ReplyDeleteThe democrat's fraud overturned the votes of millions of people living in at least 28 different states. It cannot stand. It will not stand.
The main point of the Texas case is literally asking a constitutional question of the courts and isn't trying to “prove fraud” because they don’t have to.
ReplyDeleteThis isn't only an election case, this is a separation of powers case. The six states in quesiton usurped legislative authority (unconstitutional) to revise statues (unconstitutional).
The case addresses the “safe harbor date” and what it says is that it doesn't matter per-constitution so long as SCOTUS is involved.
“A storm that is of the defendant states own making by virtue of their own unconstitutional actions.”
In short, they’re primarily brining suit under the electors clause of the constitution.
Plaintiff State alleges that each of the Defendant States flagrantly violated constitutional rules governing the appointment of presidential electors."
This is a case that SCOTUS as wanted for a while, and has already ruled on this in a smaller capacity.
SCOTUS has original jurisdiction because state courts simply cannot deal with a multi-state issue. All states are the injured parties; this isn’t simply a “clean up your own room” type of issue. If you haven't been paying attention, Justice Gorsuch and Justice Alito have been fervently speaking out against this at any opportunity that they can. An additional appeal to this case for SCOTUS is that it gives them an opportunity for declaratory relief, meaning that they need to make a statement for future elections.
How did the states usurp the legislators? Mainly through laws surrounding mail in ballots and massively lowering the standard for signature verification.
“Expert analysis using a commonly accepted statistical test further raises serious questions as to the integrity of this election. The probability of former Vice President Biden winning the popular vote in the four defendant states — Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin — independently given President Trump’s early lead in those states as of 3 a.m. on November 4, 2020, is less than one in a quadrillion, or 1 in 1,000,000,000,000,000. The odds of Joe Biden winning all four of those states collectively is less than one in a quadrillion to the fourth power.”
States unconstitutionally modified their election laws.
Votes must comply with constitutional election laws.
These states doing this impacts every state.
This fraud was done on a massive scale in each state. The defendant states made it impossible to separate the legal mail ballots with the illegal ones. Each state weakened their security measures (even knowing the fraud risk).
This is a layup case. Should be 9-0 but will likely be 5-4 or 6-3
"In short, they’re primarily brining suit under the electors clause of the constitution."
ReplyDeleteHow often should they baste that turkey after they brine it, 'cause it's cooked.
All of this delusional bullshit really points out the underlying problem here: Republicans just can't handle the truth.

Trump still has two major paths to victory.
ReplyDeletePath 1: Civil path with a SCOTUS win in the Texas case
Path 2: Constitutional path using his 2018 Executive Order.
The president is sworn to protect the Constitution. If a near majority of states has lost confidence in the electoral system because of widespread, possibly foreign-directed fraud, then the executive must act.
If the judiciary and the legislative branches decline to protect the Constitution, then the executive must act.
This is a constitutional crisis of governance that must be addressed if hope to have the Republic survive.
I wouldn't be so sure that Trump is all set to retire in grand majesty and style. Number one I can only imagine his family budget. I would bet as a clan they can burn through hundreds of thousands of $$ in a matter of days.
ReplyDeleteOur wonderful, Letitia James, AG for New York is hard at work on various civil suits aimed at the Trump family. The State alleges that the Trumps overstated their assets to obtain better loan rates and then understated these same monies to avoid a tax burden. Although she is not currently pursuing criminal charges, other States may be doing so. Also she is willing to open up criminal investigations as well as discovery uncovers new evidence of criminal wrongdoing.
She is a firebrand. Saw her on the View this week. She firmly believes that Trump will very soon pardon all of his family members and in the next five weeks, step down so that Pence may pardon him. I'd love to see him lose Mar-a-Lago and be forced to sell or face foreclosure.

You are not "The Majority." Only about 35 percent of Americans voters still believe that Trump won the election.
Please explain your inane claim that there was Democratic fraud that overturned the election. There is no evidence of this.
And why are the sore losers claiming fraud only in the four swing states? Why no fraud charges in any states that Trump won? Why no claims of Dem fraud in California, Washington, Florida, North Carolina or Alabama?
If Democrats rigged the presidential election in the swing states how come they didn't also rig the congressional races there? Senate seats were potentially up for grabs in Maine, Iowa, Colorado, Arizona, North Carolina and Montana. How did the Republicans manage to hold on to the most of these senate seats if the Democrats rigged the election?
“In 2018, Donald Trump published 37 executive orders (from EO 13820 through EO 13856). So to which of these executive orders do you refer in this post? Inquiring minds want to know.”
ReplyDeleteNone seems to have anything to do with overturning election results Trump doesn’t like. And even if one did, it wouldn’t matter. Trump can’t issue a binding “keep me president forever” executive order. That’s not within the powers of the president.
Gambler2: "The Majority" is "the majority" in the same sense that "Pravda" is "truth" and the "Bolsheviki" were the "majority party". That is, not at all.
ReplyDelete"If Democrats rigged the presidential election in the swing states how come they didn't also rig the congressional races there?"
ReplyDeleteTo isolate Trump in order to get away with the fraud. Also it's a lot work to fill out 10 million fake ballots, much easier if you are only checking one box.
Trump won Ohio and Florida. No one who has won those two states has lost in 60 years.
Trump won 50 of 52 "bellweather" counties that had correctly predicted every election for decades.
Trump got 14 million more votes nationally than he did in 2016.
How does a guy like Biden who never even won a primary in his three previous runs and who couldn't get more than 12 people to show up to his rallies and hardly campaigned beat the incumbent who packed stadiums for his rallies?
How does the country experience a "Red Wave" where Republicans win every tossup congressional race and expand their majorities in state houses without the party's nominee winning the presidency?
How does Trump's landslide victory and huge leads on election night disappear after four swing states all simultaneously decide to halt counting and then come up with millions of ballots all for Biden at 5:00 in the morning?
Massive fraud, that's how.
These fake results are going to be invalidated by the SCOTUS ruling and Trump will be inaugurated for his second term. Bank on it.

So you think the election was stolen through fake ballots? LOL! There is no way anyone could get away with this. 10 million ballots would have to be transported on the sly to the several states. You think no one would notice?
And if you were submitting fake ballots, you could have them printed with the circle by the name of the candidate you wanted to win. So all boxes could be pre checked for Democratic candidates.
It's difficult to believe that you are serious.
“Trump won Ohio and Florida. No one who has won those two states has lost in 60 years.“
ReplyDeleteSooooooooo, if a candidate wins Ohio and Florida we just give them the election? That’s an interesting concept, please expound upon this idea.
“Trump won 50 of 52 "bellweather" counties that had correctly predicted every election for decades.“
If this is the best argument you have you can kind of just give it a rest. The clear answer is something called demographic shift. For example, many POC moved to Georgia and they voted for Biden in larger numbers than for trump. Demographic shifts will continue to happen in many states such as Texas and Arizona which means past election results and “bell weather” counties will cease to be predictors of election outcomes.

It'a really quite simple: The problem is that you and trump are wrong to contest an election that was not stolen. You and he are trying to do the stealing.
And why are the sore losers claiming fraud only in the four swing states?
ReplyDeleteBecause that's where the steal was concentrated.
Why no fraud charges in any states that Trump won?
Because it would have been too obvious if the DNC had tried to steal them too.
Why no claims of Dem fraud in California, Washington, Florida, North Carolina or Alabama?
Because Commiefornia was expected to be in the "D" column, even though it probably wasn't this time.
If Democrats rigged the presidential election in the swing states how come they didn't also rig the congressional races there?
That's one element of proof that the fix was in. Who'd vote for Biden, and then tick "R" down-ticket? Another element of proof is the late tally of votes which only ran up Biden's count, while not affecting any totals down-ticket.
How did the Republicans manage to hold on to the most of these senate seats if the Democrats rigged the election?
Because the DNC went all-in on Biden and ignored the rest. That's proof of election fraud.

ReplyDeleteSo even though Fergus (read that the Federalist Society) and McConnell have appointed and confirmed over 200 judges, including more than a third of all circuit court judges, and fully one third of the supreme court, they still couldn't win one case alleging voter fraud.
ReplyDeleteThat is because voter fraud is basically nonexistent in any numbers that could affect the outcome of any election beyond city council or school board in a town of less than 5K people, and as of yet, you still need evidence to prove your case in a court of law.
Fergus believed that if he could just own the judges, he could get away with anything, which just exemplifies how little he actually understands the government he is the supposed leader of.
So it's over and he lost, so what can we expect from him and his party now?
More baseless and frivolous lawsuits to send fundraising emails about, for as long as a single Pig Person has a single dollar in their bank account.
Which kind of exposes another angle of the Republican attempted takeover of the judiciary: They may not win very many, if any of these lawsuits, but their friendly judges will always allow them to file them without sanctioning them for abuse of litigation, ensuring that the gravy train will keep on rolling as long as the aforementioned Pig People keep kicking down.
So what to do? A pragmatist might suggest a Pig People de-porkification project, but we all know that'll never happen.
I suggest enacting an 80% tax on nonstandard political fundraising, along with wholesale election finance reform and publicly funded elections, but that has about as much chance of happening as the de-porkification as long as there is any Republican support required for its passage.
They are wholly devoted to the grift, and will never vote for anything that damages that gravy train.
So we have to make it stop paying, or the corruption will never stop.

ReplyDeleteHow do they not have a judicially cognizable interest in the manner in which another State conducts its elections?

Because the Constitution says that they don't. It was placed there by the founding fathers to protect states rights, a concept that Republicans believed in for hundreds of years before Trump. Try reading the Constitution some time. It's an amazing document.

“drumpf junior wants to make news credible again by pretending to be a journalist with ethics?”
ReplyDeleteNauseating.
And weird, too. The website is supposed to use blockchain technology to, in their words, “award viewers with digital coins that prove their viewership of a given segment or news anchor” so that “you don’t just have more credible reporters, you have more credible viewers.”
???
WTF is a credible viewer? Completely bananas.
Is this new adventure in scammy, lie-filled media being funded by money diverted from Trump’s “stop the steal” legal fund? Someone really ought to find out.
Let us not forget the numerous times wingnuts have blocked election security bills from being debated or voted on these past few years. Then they whine about unsecure elections because they are stoopid fucks.

Trump: The election was stolen!
ReplyDeleteJudge: Prove your accusation.
Trump: The proof is that there is no proof!
Judge: Case dismissed.

ReplyDeleteMy pleasure.
I've also had the pleasure of writing Trump-Judge quatrains. The Trump-Judge quatrain is sort of like an antibody: it has fixed regions, to give the jest structure, and a highly variable region, designed to latch on to the target.
Line one is fixed in the form:
"The election was stolen!"
Line two is mildly variable:
"Present your evidence."
"Prove your accusation."
Line three is the most variable. So far it has been:
"..."
"The fraud is undetectable."
"The proof is that there is no proof!"
I eagerly await the next Trump whinge for me to mock.
Line four is fixed in the form, and has the comic inevitability of Coyote falling off a cliff:
"Case dismissed."
"Sidney Powell's secretive military intel special witness turned out to be non-military, non-intel nobody. Don't lawyers get disbarred for knowingly lying to judges and courts?"
ReplyDeleteOh, he was in the military, all right, he was an E4 wheeled vehicle mechanic who applied to the 305th Military Intelligence Battalion but repeatedly washed out of the coursework.

Comerade Misfit, an attorney who served in the Navy, explains:
As the article explains, the 305th MI Battallion is a training outfit. They analyze nothing. This self-styled "military intelligence expert" couldn't complete the inital training courses. he was an E-4 who was, in essence, pushed out at the end of his enlsitment because the Army has little use for career members of the E-4 Mafia.
Gee. So it seems that one of Trump's lawyers has been repeatedly fibbing to several courts over the strength of her case and the qualification of her witnesses. "I can prove corruption, my expert witness, a truck mechanic, saw the conspiracy!"
Funny thing: Most good lawyers know that shading the truth in filings to a court is a very bad thing. It causes the judges hearing the case to treat what the lawyer says with considerable skepticism. Even bad lawyers know that if one really fibs to a court and gets a judge upset, that can result in disciplinary action.
But the rules always seem to be different for Team Trump.

ReplyDeleteTwitter temporarily put limits on three of Fergus' tweets that were outrageously false and the goddamn Pig People started twitching their tails and stamping their trotters until the restrictions were lifted.
ReplyDeleteWhat will happen to his ability to flout the rules on Twitter after the twentieth of next month remains to be seen, but Twitter has made it clear that he will lose his special treatment after then.
I'll believe that when I see it, as he is a money making draw on Twitter, but perhaps this morning's actions were a warning?

So what does this mean?
Your report on Hunter Biden is somewhat interesting, but why should I care for whom he works or how much money he makes? Does Hunter Biden work for the U.S. Government? Are you inferring that there is a crime in there somewhere? Has he been charged with a crime?
"NBC has gotten the ALL CLEAR from the CIA to pivot to President Kamala:
ReplyDelete-------------

It's clearly another dumb wingnut conspiracy theory, this one about the idea that Biden was never intended to be president. Instead, he is supposed to have been induced to run for office only so that he could immediately resign (or be forced out) and hand the presidency over to Kamala Harris -- who, naturally, could never have won the presidency on her own and needed Biden's help to get into the White House, because she's a super-radical who wants to turn America communist, and also, you know, she's BLACK.
He also seems to be under the impression that the CIA is pulling all the strings behind this top-secret operation, although why the CIA are supposedly so desperate to have Kamala Harris as president, I cannot possibly explain.
Don't think too hard about any of these outlandish beliefs on the right. You'll give yourself a headache.
RIP Charley Pride.
ReplyDelete"At some point the Left is going to realize that all they are doing is shilling for multinational corporations,"

One Person Shot In Violent Protests In Washington State

Trump is getting what he wants today - violent confrontations between opposing protest groups. He hopes it escalates, so he can claim emergency powers and then martial law.

Well, that's never gonna happen, so we don't have to worry about it. LOL!
"Let it be known throughout the land that Trump losing in the most humiliating way possible over and over and over and over again WAS EXACTLY WHAT GOD WANTED TO HAPPEN."
ReplyDeleteYeah, for a guy who is so phobic about being labeled a "loser," ironically, Trump has arranged things so he will lose, and lose, and lose, and lose, over and over again in court. He has maximized his humiliation.
If nothing else, this dismal, pathetic ending to his presidency has confirmed his malignant narcissism. Nobody sane would behave this way.
He is grifting a LOT of money off of the ridiculous spectacle, though, and that's very much in character.
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone else find it strange that the same chuckleheads who post death statistics for inner-city crime are also the ones cheerleading for an administration that with its publicly stated "herd immunity" approach to covid is logging thousands of deaths every damn day?
It's almost like they don't really care about US citizens being killed and are just racist fuckheads out for a ghoulish giggle.

Cool story Doug.
ReplyDeleteCan we finally admit it was a huge mistake to elect a gay mulatto community organizer as president?
ReplyDeleteAnonymous,
ReplyDeleteNo, but we sure can admit it was a mistake to elect the orange, psycho demon from hell.
300,000 dead from the Trump virus CoVID19.
Virus released by CCP to cause chaos for US election.
ReplyDeleteDemocrats immediately weaponize pandemic for political gain.
All deaths from ill elderly people classified as COVID deaths.
Media exaggerates threat to stoke fear.
Democrat jurisdictions force lockdowns that crush small businesses and transfer wealth to billionaires.
Crisis exploited to facilitate massive systemic voter fraud which steals election.
Trump's fault.
The guy who can’t talk, didn’t campaign, was in politics for half a century, and never won a primary before just won more votes than any president in history, unseating a sitting president who himself won twelve million more votes than his previous winning campaign.
ReplyDeleteBiden's share of the black vote fell 15% nationally but strangely increased massively in Milwaukee, Detroit, Philly and Atlanta.
Trump increased his margin in surrounding states but somehow lost ground in Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Georgia.
That is such obvious horseshit it’s insulting to anyone’s intelligence that they’re actually claiming it happened.
“Biden's share of the black vote fell 15% nationally but strangely increased massively in Milwaukee, Detroit, Philly and Atlanta.“
ReplyDeleteYeah but so many people were sick of trump and wanted a sense of normalcy and came out to oust trump. Maybe if he had been a better President and done more to stop the virus he may have been reelected.
“Virus released by CCP to cause chaos for US election.“
ReplyDeleteAnd trump did nothing to retaliate? Does that mean he’s Putin’s bitch or a traitor? No wonder he lost.
"The guy who can’t talk, didn’t campaign, was in politics for half a century, and never won a primary before just won more votes than any president in history, unseating a sitting president who himself won twelve million more votes than his previous winning campaign."
ReplyDeleteWell, let's see, in 2016 roughly 139 million people voted in the presidential election and in 2020 more than 160 million people voted in the presidential election.
That can be partially explained by the 2016 campaign tactic of making the race seem so ugly and repugnant that no decent human would want to participate in it, but mostly it is explained by how horrible of a president Fergus is and how hyper motivated people were to remove him.
Also, both candidates received a higher proportion of the vote total due to a lack of third party candidates. Remember that Stein got more votes than Fergus' margin of victory.
And as for your characterization of Biden's run, how about this: A serial adulterer accused of more than a dozen sexual assaults who ran business after business into the ground while squandering a half billion dollar inheritance who is in deep debt to foreign banks because no stateside banks will touch him with a ten foot barge pole who had never run a campaign for anything before somehow won more Republican primary votes in 2016 than anyone in history... what kind of horseshit was that?
Except on this question there is an answer and we know it: He told all of the racists, bigots and imbeciles that he would make them top dog, and they are so retarded that they believed him.
