  1. Honestly Trump really doesn't believe that he has any prayer at the WH whatsoever. He's just using his surrogates to incite the base, whom he's currently lobbying like crazy to fund all of this legal mumbo jumbo. That's also why, IMHO, he's incredibly thin on talent as far as attorneys are concerned: find cheap lawyers, take in as much in donations as possible, then throw the lawyers under the bus.

    I distinctly remember telling people in 2016 "just watch as he does a literal repeat of the USFL." This kind of shit is exactly what I was talking about.

  2. The idea that the impurity of the dnc even remotely compares to that of the gop is just straight up make believe and pretend. And it’s a completely pointless exercise because it’s self-serving, has no purpose other than to stroke the very fragile minds that come up with this shit, and it doesn’t yield a tangible relief the way that actual masturbation does.

    Are there a myriad of problems with the DNC as it relates to the responsiveness to the needs/wants of the population? Fuck yes. But that’s a fight that should be confined to the DNC representing the very farthest of the right wing and the progressives representing everyone to the left of that. The republicans are just deadweight. 

    Our 2 “party” system is basically the final match at Medeival Times...except there’s only one warrior knight and he’s facing a fucking clown, and we’re being asked by the King’s squires (media) to believe that this is the best match we can have instead of the other warrior knights that were quickly ejected from the show in deference to the fucking clown.

    She does not stay up to date. Rush has been critical of Trump's legal team. The Donald has wondered out loud if he is being made to look foolish. The full throw Rudy under the bus campaign is underway. It was not Trump's fault it was Gulliani's excuse is being constructed. Bad time to join the team unless she will be the "Insider" that exposes Rudy!

    Yeah they promised blockbuster stuff, nothing happened, and they knew it wouldn’t. This wasn’t some sort of legal mismanagement, this was a dog and fucking pony show. If that OxyContin addicted fuckhead really thought there was actually something to what those liars were selling, he’s even dumber than I thought.

    Good God, they're still clinging to the lie that 130,000+ votes were cast for Biden in the middle of the night without a single vote for Trump.

    And the sharpie thing is so dumb.  How are you going to give sharpies to only Trump voters?  How the hell do you know who somebody is going to vote for just by them walking through the door?  It's not like people are allowed to wear their MAGA hats into voting locations.

    GOP/Trump supporters really don't think their conspiracies all the way through.

    The last 6 words were superfluous

    Yep. That’s why, at the trial court, you’ll hear lawyers use the phrase “I need to make my record.” We MUST get any evidence or facts that we want considered at the appellate level into the record at the trial court level. Note that the evidence doesn’t have to be admitted - it just has to be in there. Even testimony. In Texas, if the judge says “I’m not going to let your witness testify about X,” but you need that in the record for the appeal, you submit a “bill of review.” “Your honor, may I make my bill?” And at that point, with the jury out of the room, you get the questions and answers into the record.

    If you get to the court of appeals WITHOUT that, and you try to say “here’s the evidence that wasn’t presented at trial,” the court of appeals will ask “cool...did you make a bill?” I actually saw a poor, inexperienced criminal defense lawyer get hosed at argument on appeal of that exact issue.

    By and large, if it’s not in the trial court record, the court of appeals is never going to consider it.

    Thank you.

    Has the Trump team made any meaningful bills, or are they really just in there acting a fool as they’ve been portrayed in the media as doing so?

    That is correct.  Almost no evidence that was not before the trial court will be considered on any appeal.  An appeal is conducted on the basis of the "trial record," the transcript of proceedings and testimony, the evidence offered and entered into evidence as exhibits, and the pleadings and motions on file.    That trial record is static and is fixed, for the most part, before an appeal is ever commenced.

    Hell I’m not a lawyer and I know that’s how it works in the SC. Correct me if I’m wrong, but it’s my understanding that the only way they could introduce new evidence is if the grounds for appeal include within it a claim that their evidence was unlawfully blocked in the original trial. Again I could be wrong, but that did not happen here. Quite the opposite. They were explicitly told that they literally introduced no evidence to support their claims. They can’t just walk into any appeals court saying “well we didn’t have evidence before but now we do.” That just sounds more and more like Trump supporters pretending to know how things work and getting indignant because they cannot for the life of them understand why they do not work that way.

    Wait, you mean he did nothing for months, till it hit our border! Guess we should blame Pearl Harbor on that man who was a jerk to the Japanese and stopped selling oil to them when they were commiting atrocities. I also like that he didn't do enough, but started the task force, gave everyone that needed ventilators what they wanted. Now we have two vaccines out under his watch with help under Operation Warp speed. Our economy has been basically back to pre Covid, Hell, I'm not saying he didn't deal with it perfectly, but got damn. 

    Just stop it and admit that you’re just a fanboy of a political party that doesn’t really know anything useful. Do you really think this ghastly circus act is fooling anyone worth a shit?

    I also want to say that I honestly don't know if there is a way to do this?  Without having to be in some sort of confrontation (that I am not trying to instigate) in the end.

    It's an excellent question/discussion because at the end of the day it comes down to one thing, and this especially concerns the elderly generations:

    There really is no polite way of asking someone "do you realize you have wasted your entire life over this?"

    Throwing out, you know, that, Mrs. Lincoln really enjoyed the production of "Our American Cousin"  at Ford's theater.

    It’s just another mindless slogan from Planet Conservatardia.

    And it’s really stupid. Watch me do this one:

    ”Throw out Texas and Biden won the popular vote basically by 5M.”

    Yeah I said that, but I’m not patting myself on the back and acting all brilliant...because there’s nothing brilliant about that observation. Just some shit Limbaugh would say.

    I'm guessing networks are waiting for votes from Allegheny county before they call PA

    Based on how Fox does their shit I'm surprised they have not called it. I'm sure CNN will once they look at the first dump (that's what she said) and verify it more or less conforms to the percentages they'd seen before the Big Pause. But as I see it, the only way Trump could pull a miracle in PA is with the rural vote, and there aren't near enough left to count to offset the blue city votes that are to come.
