Sorry where are we with that now? Last I heard you and other corporate democrats were sucking Bush's dick because he didn't like Trump much.

So now that the crony capitalist, Five and Below autocrat lost to the most moderate Democrat on earth, where are you at on a scale of 1 to absolutely assblasted mad?

Are we counting that he's on account #572?

On twitter I see a lot of hilarious takes like, “She discovered something so big that Trump is distancing himself for when the shit hits the fan.” These people are delusional.

Here's a couple more Josh Marshall linked from parler featuring takes like "4d chess" and "strategic": https://twitter.com/joshtpm/status/1...326682624?s=20

Here's a couple more Josh Marshall linked from parler featuring takes like "4d chess" and "strategic":

I've noticed that as well. It's impossible for me to tell if they're just being Poe's, or if they simply lack the self-awareness to unironically try and bring back the "4d chess" nonsense. I wonder how many dimensions of chess they think will be in play when inauguration day comes around and it's Biden's hand on that bible.

Trust the pLaN. My favorite is the one where Trump is picking Powell to head the FBI and is trying to avoid conflicts of interest.

Jesus, Marry and Joseph... the amount of dick sucking you have on your mind, has no limits... Not that there is anything wrong with it, but... we are in mixed company.

I’m a proper gentleman... this language is too coarse for my gentle ears. Youth in my day, had proper manners.

Also, most of them look like they'd have trouble with regular chess. Maybe they should start small.

Most of the ones here have trouble with checkers...

CEO of Blackstone admits it's over.

I'm a fan of good process. In my comments three days after the election, I was trying to be a voice of reason and express why it's in the national interest to have all Americans believe the election is being resolved correctly. But the outcome is very certain today, and the country should move on

That’s exactly how it starts...

See... I hear foul language and I start making dick jokes... improper. Just... not proper at all... apologies.

I have dick sucking on the mind 23/6. I take a break 1 hour a day and 1 day a week to pray for forgiveness. No homo.

SCOTUS turns down Trump and company in PA.

The Supreme Court of the United States on Monday took no action to overturn a lower court decision that allowed the counting of late-arriving mail-in ballots in Pennsylvania.

President Donald Trump’s campaign had sought to exclude mail-in ballots that arrived after election day.

...

The Trump campaign had hoped that the Supreme Court would hear the case prior to Pennsylvania’s certification of the 2020 election.

But on Monday, the court’s regular order list for its November 20 conference did not include any action on the case.

The court could take action at its December 4 conference, which is after Pennsylvania’s November 23 deadline for counties to certify the election.

With all the blaming of China for covid, now leading to thanksgiving being cancelled... has anyone considered it might be a plot by Turkey?

Once appointed the SCOTUS is not beholden to the President.

Slight miscalculation on Trump's part.

NBC News has compiled a list of all the Trump election lawsuits.

Feel free to read the entire list. I will only quote those that haven't failed yet.

Pennsylvania Supreme Court: In response to the Canvass of Absentee and Mail-in Ballots, Republicans claim Philadelphia did not give election observers enough access.

Status: Review granted; the court stayed the Commonwealth Court ruling. The case is now consolidated with Ziccarelli v. Allegheny County Board of Election.

Pennsylvania Commonwealth Court: In Trump v. Boockvar, the campaign challenged the three-day deadline extension given to mail-in voters missing identification, to supply proof of identification.

Status: Relief granted; The court found that the secretary of state had no authority to provide an extension. The secretary of state's office has said the total number of votes is likely less than 100 statewide.

Pennsylvania Supreme Court: The Trump Campaign appealed a Philadelphia County Board of Elections decision to count five different categories of mail-in and absentee ballots.

Status: Active. The court is reviewing whether the state election code allows curing some mail ballots by casting provisional ballots.

Court of Common Pleas for Westmoreland County: Ziccarelli is also challenging a small number of provisional ballots.

Status: Pending.

Pennsylvania Commonwealth Court: A group of Republicans, led by Rep. Mike Kelly, R-Pa., claim the state's no-excuse mail ballot law violates the state constitution. They seek an order blocking certification of most mail-in votes or that directs the state assembly to choose the presidential electors.

Status: Pending.

Clark County (Nevada) District Court: In Election Integrity Project v. Nevada, the plaintiffs claim that Nevada's vote-by-mail structure is unconstitutional. The suit was filed in September.

Status: Active.

First Judicial District Court, Carson City: In Law v. Whitmer, Trump's six electors claim irregularities, including the improper use of scanning machines to verify signatures.

Status: Active.

Clark County District Court: In Becker v. Gloria, April Becker, a Nevada state senate candidate, challenged the use of automated systems to match mail-in ballot signatures and the mailing of ballots to all registered voters.

Status: Active.

Clark County District Court: In Marchant v. Gloria, Jim Marchant, a congressional candidate, challenged the use of automated systems for signature matching and for mailing ballots to all registered voters.

Status: Active.

Clark County District Court: In Rodimer v. Gloria, Daniel Rodimer, a state legislative candidate, challenged the use of automated systems for signature matching and mailing ballots to all registered voters.

Status: Active.

"What about all the other states?"

All other cases have been dismissed, withdrawn, or denied. That includes every case in the states of Georgia, Michigan, Arizona, and Denial.

It's also worth noting that, after looking over those Nevada case descriptions, it seems to be about electronic voting machines not being legit -- and one would assume, if votes were cast when the machines were legal, even if retroactively the machines were deemed illegal, the ballots themselves wouldn't be, and would be matched by hand. I cannot imagine a reasonable circumstance where the literal majority of Nevada votes, cast by voters who were following the rules, are just thrown away.

I mean, I can imagine such a circumstance, but it would be unreasonable.

I am not sure who should feel worse you for making that corny joke or me for laughing because of it

I must once again ask: why though? She isn't really saying anything that's notably crazier than the rest of the tRump gang.

She said that Georgia Governor Brian Kemp is in on the fraud.

I honestly don’t know. She may just be Giuliani’s scapegoat.
