NEW Stupid Republican Idea of the Day (Part 1)

“I was born in Dusseldorf and that is why they call me Rolf!” …for all we know, the grandfather was that guy.

Was it OVER when the Democratic Socialists bombed Little Pwagmattasquarmsettport Harbor?

Marx, Hitler…what’s the difference?

Yeah, try reasoning with someone who’s fighting an imaginary army of pedophiles. Try reasoning with a pack of rabid jackals while you’re at it.

Considering that there are many words with multiple meanings, you simply need to construct a sentence in which every possible reading is a lie.

Senator from Texas thinks the uncounted votes from Puerto Rico will change the presidential election count.

Too toxic for that, kind of like that gamma ray source that got away in Brazil. Dump it into the nearest subduction zone.

Good summary of the cases here. (Trump has prevailed in one, and a couple others are still pending. He has lost the rest).

My favorite line:
“I’m sorry, then what’s your problem?” — Judge Paul S. Diamond of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania

And that’s how the kaiju entered our universe.

That line needs to be accompanied by a picture of Gritty.

Yeah, when you start going into other dimensions, they sky’s the limit, amirite?

Illinois Republican loses race for congressional seat, goes to new member orientation at the US Capitol anyway.

It feels like these lawsuits are going to go on FOR-EV-ER. I know there are certain deadlines that have to be met, but it’s going to go down to the last second and be emergency appealed to the Supreme Court. Because they’re probably not going to accept “no” from any lower court, I am assuming.

Cornyn can’t be that stupid; he just hopes that others are.

It depends on how the cases were dismissed.

If they are dismissed without prejudice, then the case can be refiled as a new case. The judge is telling you, “Your case has no merit as it is presently pleaded. But you’re welcome to try again if you can find better facts.”

If the cases are dismissed with prejudice, then it means you can appeal. The case isn’t entirely dead in water. The judge is telling you, “I don’t think you case has any merit as it is presently pleaded, but you’re welcome to go up the chain and see if my ruling sucks. However, you are stuck with the facts you have filed in your Complaint… so good luck!”

I’m guessing Trump’s cases were dismissed without prejudice, so if he can find some actual facts to support his alleged damages, he can refile. However, it’s worth noting that the judges dismissing his cases have been brutally withering in their criticisms of his garbage cases and some of the lawyers who were pursuing the cases said, no more. They are withdrawing as counsel of record for Trump.

At some point, Trump will run out of time, money and lawyers to keep the shit show going. He’s already withdrawn his case(s?) from Arizona.

Sadly, much damage has nonetheless been done.

And the winner for stupid Republican idea this week: Trump picks Rudy Giuliani to head his ongoing electoral legal battles.

Thanks for this.

He will take the cases all the way to the Supreme Courtyard by Marriott.

Dumbass MAGAtroid tries to pass off pictures of a 2016 Cleveland Cavaliers NBA championship celebration – complete with green-leaved trees and a building prominently labelled “Cuyahoga County” – as pictures of the Couple-Thousand MAGA March

You’re most welcome.

I see I forgot to add the obligatory qualifier: IANAL.
