This was mentioned upthread. Of course, this ruling is obviously the result of a corrupt judge, proof positive that the Deep State™ is now aiding and abetting anti-Trump election fraud. Clearly, the judge is in the pay of Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, and George Soros, aka “The Triumvirate of Evil”. ---

Who perfidiously changed the name on the nomination papers from the righteous, God-fearing judge who Trump\* wanted to a corrupt, Biden-loving “judge.” And did it so cleverly that no one noticed until it was too late. \* More accurately, the Federalist Society ---

Frankly it’s mostly just boring. It invokes memories of every hotel ballroom sales/training seminar I ever attended - so much that I shiver just watching (those events are always COLD, I think they crank the AC so the ice in the plastic water pitchers on every table won’t thaw so fast). When I first turned in there was a lot of boilerplate babble about basic network structure, just a gish gallop of technical terms strung into psuedosentences. I couldn’t figure out where they were going. But then the big presentation about Dominion and Serbia and China started, and it turns out Dominion has a rep in Serbia ( I’m sure most international manufacturers have a rep in countries where they hope to do business.) and that some of their equipment used components that were made in China - like every other piece of electronic equipment ever. But they took a REAL long time to get there. I may tune in tonight, maybe they save the non-boring stuff for evenings. ---

OK, wait a minute… "Law enforcement served the condo building’s management company with a search warrant seeking Lazzaro’s bank records and video surveillance footage a week before the raid, according to a person with direct knowledge. " Seeking his bank records, uh, are they the correct people to ask? Or do they serve multiple entities with the same warrant? ---

Clearly, the judge is in the pay of Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, and George Soros, aka “The Triumvirate of Evil”. I hate to see you slight Nancy Pelosi in this way. But of course “Quadrumvirate of Evil” would mostly just confuse people, whereas “Triumvirate of Evil” rests easy in the CT-riddled brain.

This reminds me of many years ago I was visiting some semi-distant relations (Second cousin’s once removed?) who were very active in their church, and they got a call sometime in the evening who was concerned that there was a car in the church parking lot with a Clinton Gore bumper sticker, and was wondering what should be done about it. ---

> [@Buck\_Godot](#): > > … they got a call sometime in the evening who was concerned that there was a car in the church parking lot with a Clinton Gore bumper sticker, and was wondering what should be done about it. I believe the standard advice for this sort of thing is “Do not approach the vehicle. Do not attempt to deal with this situation yourself as godless liberals are often crazed and unpredictable. Call 911 immediately and let the authorities handle it.” ---
