Conservative twitter is erupting w these Obama-judge takes, but it's all delusional. Judge Brann was a Federalist Society member who served on the Pa. GOP State Comm, on his county Republican committee for 18 years. He reportedly was picked by Toomey.https://t.co/d9GS0GeuxT https://t.co/8wpfC07gUs

A federal judge threw out a lawsuit argued by Rudy Giuliani, saying the legal arguments amounted to "speculative accusations...this cannot justify the disenfranchisement of a single voter, let alone all the voters of its sixth most populated state.” https://t.co/uiECJeWmKa

He will believe it when certification is declared in every state of the United States and her territories. When all recounts have been re-certified, affirmed and authenticated he will know he lost fair and square.

Georgia wanted him home and will elect Republican Senators.

A Federal Judge in Pennsylvania basically just told Rudy Giuliani and the MAGA cult to eat shit by literally dismissing their frivolous lawsuit to invalidate millions of votes.
— Ricky Davila (@TheRickyDavila) November 22, 2020

Yes, this is the case argued by @RudyGiuliani. This isn’t just a routine loss. The judge’s opinion demolishes his feeble arguments. https://t.co/fGFSXSsDRB
— Elie Honig (@eliehonig) November 21, 2020

The judge’s withering opinion dismissing the case said the suit, which Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani turned up to argue in a small Pennsylvania city this week, was both legally flawed and lacking in evidence. https://t.co/2QUqJpinlW

Note the lack of outrage about new Mike Kelly lawsuit to throw out mail-in PA votes:

If Mike Kelly has a problem with the ballot that HE was re-elected on, then he shouldn’t take the oath of office in January. If he says he will do this, I will take this stunt more seriously. Your move, @MikeKellyPA. https://t.co/8ZtyiMlMTr

Great plan! Let's toss out the entire vote and vote again. We will make damn sure not one republican gets back in office. No Mitch, Lindsay, Joni, Susan, Tom. No Mike Kelly in PA! Let's go! You think Joe Biden won by 6 million votes keep fucking around that will be fun.

SIDNEY POWELL FIRED from Trump's legal team? Maybe? Depending on what she says? Some days yes, some days no? Maybe never was? Just for today? Maybe back tomorrow?

What a train wreck

On left (Nov 22):

"Sidney Powell...is not a member of the Trump Legal Team"

On right (Nov 14):

Trump: "Giuliani...Sidney Powell, and Jenna Ellis, a truly great team, added to our other wonderful lawyers"

I guess it turns on what the meaning of "is" is. pic.twitter.com/PbXawZ3xRa

Grammar police - "Everyday Joe..." is an adjective

"Every day, Joe..." is a... well, some part of speech my brain's not awake enough to name, but still remember.

(caught myself debating another common term that can be one word or split into 2 with slightly different meanings/appropriate usage. Rather amazing overall that the language is holding up as well as it has in Social Media daze)

agree moat, along the lines of Steve Schmidt's tweet, is the time to draw a line-who is in charge here-FOR PRECEDENT-as it's unprecedented, before everyone always just followed "traditions". The GSA needs to have a rep. of being apolitical even if it's not that in reality.

by artappraiser on Mon, 11/23/2020 - 5:40pm

Devil's advocate here, maybe getting a national forum for her obstinance is what they hope for. Pumping up a martyr with prime time exposure might be counterproductive.

by PeraclesPlease on Mon, 11/23/2020 - 5:49pm

good point. glad I am not deciding! If I were those responsible in the House, I would definitely ask Joe for his input. On the sly, of course, because that would be hypocritically politicizing it.
