Seems a bit irrelevant now. Seeing that the GOP seem to be going all in.
I'm actually logged in the Lin Wood hearing atm.Seems a bit irrelevant now. Seeing that the GOP seem to be going all in.
They’ve patented both the pitch for & the actual snake oil for the ignorant in this country.The GOP retweet and quotes by folks like the GOP leader in MI are just bat shit insane and utterly terrifying. That so many people are seemingly longing for a authoritarian theocracy with **** levels of conspiratorial thinking in a country where those same folks liked to claim it was the greatest democracy is just every other authoritarian in the world's dream.
Its going to be very hard for them to walk back to a position of accepting the results... so I think they are going to double down on the crazyTweet

I just finished watching Biden give a talk after a call with governors. He's clearly not worried about these shenanigans because he's got his own legal team and they're not having to conjure up bullshit because the facts are on their side. He's appearing on the news channels whereas Trump has gone in hiding leaving all his ghouls to do the dirty work. In that sense Biden probably is trying to act as a president now rather than the president in waiting. Things like facilitating the distribution of the vaccine, rebuilding the economy, safely reopening institutions are more worthy of his time to talk about than getting in the mud with Giuliani. Which is probably what Giuliani actually wants. He's no longer talking about Hunter Biden's laptop anymore.Tweet

It seems parts of the media have started to get restless and worried that Biden isn't speaking out about Trump and (now) the Republicans behaviour.
I know he has a government to form, but him staying quiet is making him look weak in the eyes of many. This isn't the first time I've seen him being called out in the past few days.
I'm not sure what his play should be. The last thing he wants or needs is to get in to a public dirt slinging match with Trump and Rudy. But he can't stay silent forever.
Correct me if I’m wrong but are they just not relaying what’s come out of the press conference? The fact they’ve put quotation marks on it seems to suggest that but agree that the fact they are even tweeting it is beyond incredible.Tweet

It's 2020. Anything. Is. Possible.Can't believe how simple minded some of you are thinking that these efforts by Trump and Giuliani are going to lead to a successful coup. This also equates to disinformation in my book. The only thing we should be worried about are the millions of people who actually believe all of this (because they want it to be true).
Will have to look that up - thx!For anyone like me who is getting a little concerned I recommend that you give today's Pod Save America podcast a listen. They do a good job of breaking down how futile Trump's efforts are. It made me feel a little less paranoid at least.

Well, I guess i'm not to bad a lawyer, Lin Wood just got his ass handed to him, the judge appointed by Trump instantly dismissed the lawsuit.I'm actually logged in the Lin Wood hearing atm.
It's not going well for good ol' Lin. Before a Trump appointee mind you.
feck it man, pile on, post all the loses. Multiple times. SO MUCH WINNING!Well, I guess i'm not to bad a lawyer, Lin Wood just got his ass handed to him, the judge appointed by Trump instantly dismissed the lawsuit.
EDIT WI_red beat me to it.
The judge (again a TRUMP appointee) destroyed him (in a legal way).feck it man, pile on, post all the loses. Multiple times. SO MUCH WINNING!
Other than his defending of Jewell, what has Lin Wood done of any quality in his legal career?The judge (again a TRUMP appointee) destroyed him (in a legal way).
Best bits :
" Not only does Plaintiff lack an injury-in-fact sufficient to establish standing for his due process claim, the alleged injury is not traceable to any action by the State Defendants "
" Plaintiff’s Claim is Moot"
" They are the exact opposite of arbitrary and disparate treatment. "
" Plaintiff’s claim depends on the assumption that the rules and guidance resulting from the Litigation Settlement are inconsistent with Georgia’s election code. They are not. "
" Plaintiff’s motion fails to articulate a discernable claim under the due process clause. It is unclear whether Plaintiff asserts a substantive or procedural due process claim, but neither is supported by the facts."
And my personal favorites :
" Plaintiff’s claim of irreparable harm borders on the delusional "
" To halt the certification at literally the 11th hour, would breed confusion and disenfranchisement that I find have no basis in fact and law."

His biggest (lucrative) win is a 450M settlement against DaVita Healthcare.Other than his defending of Jewell, what has Lin Wood done of any quality in his legal career?
Shame that an actor as good as Sam Rockwell played him in the movie.
I know I'm just tired and want it to end.Not this again. He is not going to jail, just don't do it to yourself.
Knew he defended Rittenhouse. Well, glad he was pretty shit in this case. Hope this quality before a judge or jury continues with his Rittenhouse defense.His biggest (lucrative) win is a 450M settlement against DaVita Healthcare.
Also, he defends Kyle Ritthenhouse.
Now it's starting to make sense why they were not too bothered with his earlier antics. Trump is the scapegoat and now they're taking over the fight. Frightening shit.Tweet

Also you don't want to be the healer in chief, not even in the office yet and you are doing exactly the opposite. Then Trump can point out to your breaking of promises and lying.This is the problem with Biden. I don't think he as the stamina for a fight.
"elite strike force" ffsGiuliani quotes ‘My Cousin Vinny’ as he sets out conspiracy theories at bizarre press conference. Here's an extract from this report in The Independent:
"In the midst of working through the states in which he believes the Trump campaign can overturn the results of the election, Mr Giuliani acted out one of the courtroom scenes from the 1992 movie.
He compared election observers being corralled away from the votes counts to a moment in the movie in which the eponymous character asks a witness in court how many fingers he is holding up, claiming that they could not see a thing ...
... As what appeared to be hair dye dripped down both sides of his face, Mr Giuliani turned over the podium to attorney Sidney Powell who laid out an incredibly far-fetched conspiracy concerning Dominion Voting Systems, the late president of Venezuela Hugo Chavez (who died in 2013), communist money interfering with US elections, and a vast plot involving computerised vote-switching.
... Speaking third was Trump legal adviser Jenna Ellis ... Ms Ellis described the assembled lawyers as 'an elite strike-force team' working on behalf of the president.
It was notable that general counsel from the campaign, senior RNC lawyers, nor the team that represented the president during the Mueller investigation were present. "
Because of his age? I think he can do itThis is the problem with Biden. I don't think he as the stamina for a fight.

Yes they do. There has just been an election.Do people really still think this is just a minority behind this movement now?
