The rumor is that Alito and Thomas voted first, and then there was a dump of 7 votes. Texas expert says there’s only a 0.0039% chance of this happening.

40 plus indictments, guilty pleas, convictions, prison sentences, and roughly a dozen fed cases borne of said investigation is slightly more than jack shit.

I take it that Wisconsin Supreme Court has another decision out?  It's not the first time Hagedorn ruled against him, or wrote the majority opinion.

Maybe he's just ranting about something that happened three weeks ago, although I think there's at least one more pending there.

That dumb mother fucker really has no idea how any of this works. 

There's a reason why aggy loves him so much.  He's just like them - nothing is ever fair, it's all a conspiracy against him, and when something doesn't go his way, he wants people to respect his feelings and change the outcome of contests (or football games).

In answer to your other question, it was last week's ruling, but Trump just now got around to bitching about it.

https://www.jsonline.com/story/news/politics/elections/2020/12/21/trump-criticizes-justice-brian-hagedorn-twitter-after-wisconsin-supreme-court-election-rulings/4000165001/

Quote

Trump singled out Hagedorn on Twitter by pointing out to his 88 million followers that Hagedorn was tied to a recent Supreme Court ruling against Trump in a lawsuit to overturn the state's election results by tossing thousands of ballots in liberal counties. 

Quote

Trump did not endorse Hagedorn before the election, but did congratulate him after his win — a victory hailed by conservatives and considered to be a surprise after some prominent donors had backed out of the race. In recent weeks, Hagedorn has written the majority opinion in decisions against the president as a swing vote in cases seeking to disqualify thousands of ballots. Hagedorn sided with liberal justices to form a majority. 

Quote

Last week's Supreme Court ruling was the fourth in about a week and a half that the same coalition of justices ruled against Trump and his allies.

What’s amazing is how clearly he lays out his nakedly transactional theory of everything: I endorsed you and thus you owe me favors in your court.

He is literally broadcasting his spoils system view of government with a loudspeaker but his asshole supporters want us to believe Biden is the most corrupt EVAR.

And that Trump somehow loves America, Americans, and the Constitution.  He doesn't give a fuck about any of them, except to the extent they provide a platform for his self-aggrandizement.

You don't need an ID to buy milk.  You don't need an ID to buy a night in tahoe with a pornstar.  You don't need ID to buy Ukranian collusion.  You don't need ID to buy Don, Jr. an eight-ball.  You don't need an ID to lots of fun shit, but yes Mr. Trump---you actually do need some form of identification to vote in this nation. 

What color is the sky in your world?

They're I think banking on lawyers having litigation privilege and them publishing that.  Also note he said "opinions" when talking about the people they have had on.
So they're trying to "clarify" that they made no independently defamatory statements, just published those that might be cloaked with litigation or congressional privilege.

Has more of a mitigate damages than create a valid affirmative defense feel.

The Timeline Chart will be fun in opening argument, in any event.

These trumpy channels pushing liability onto their guests sounds a whole lot like the broadcast equivalent of section 230 protection, which trump is demanding get repealed.

i mean, this reads like the equivalent to the owner of a football team standing on the sidelines yelling, "hey referee, we paid you a lot of money to give us all the calls, why aren't you giving us all the calls?!"

shocking that a transactional person like trump would expect preferential treatment.  what isn't shocking, is that he gets outraged every single time it happens.

This is the continuation of the red mirage/Ken Starr/Mark Levin plan. They explained it prior to the election. Cutting out his legal leg was more efficient than the 25th and in line with precedent. 

There is zero momentum for this. It allows some to give a speech and save face. Trump lifeline to his faithful. The vast majority have turned away from him.

Most trump supporters know we are moving on. The others are sleepwalking. And you are never supposed to startle someone in a sleepwalking dream. You gently guide them back to bed - calmly.

Dream of tomorrow, not yesterday. 

  • TLDR: Don't let Trump make you miss the season of joy.  Keeping fighting the good fight.

What I really meant was his statement that the legislature should do something about or with the dissent(s), which did not find any fraud, but disagreed about whether the case should go forward at all.

He seems to think a dissent = Trump wins.

Well, it is, really.  Defamation liability rests initially on those who originate or make the defamatory statements and secondarily against "publishers" of those statements.

230 protects internet entities from publisher liability.

If OANN or Newsmax didn't originate defamatory communications, then its only basis for liability is as a publisher and if the originator is cloaked with a privilege, so would be OANN and Newsmax.

Publishers are integral to free speech.  230 is integral to publishing content such as this website. Without publishers, the freedom to associate is weakened as well.

I was replying to Pato, who said it looked a lot like sort of a 230 analogy.  And it kind of is, or really is.

Their liability can be defended differently than original defamers.

I have sort of jokingly said I'm in favor of 230 repeal simply because it would mean the death of the social media I mostly abhor.  I understand that it's a necessary evil, or protects the innocent or whatever.

I'd be curious to hear a candid analysis of why Trump thinks 230 should be repealed.  Sure it would kill those Twitter meanies that don't let him lie without reperucssions.  It would also kill parler, and facebook. and many of the very things that are responsible for his ascendance.

135 pages is a little much to peruse, so I'll just ask:  what was the one lawsuit the Trump team actually won?

I’ll quote the Forbes article:

”A Pennsylvania state judge ruledThursday in favor of the Trump campaign and ordered the state not to count some mail-in ballots that were missing proof of identification and cured during an extended deadline—but the ruling will not change the vote count as it currently stands”

It literally was the Colorado field goal of the 2005 Big 12 championship game.

I will just add that the votes in question had actually already been sequestered. They had never been included in the vote count anyway, which is why the ruling "will not change the vote count as it currently stands." He literally won the ability to keep some of the vote from counting, and so it didn't. He lost anyway.

Right and that’s what I meant with the field goal business. Purely symbolic, had no real impact.

Also, there is never a wrong time to remind people of Vince Young & Co kicking Colorado's ass so hard it ended up in New Zealand. Which is probably where Joel Klatt's brain ended up, too, come to think of it.

And he really didn’t win that in my opinion, because the state of Pennsylvania had already said they were only going to count those segregated votes if there was a mathematical chance they could make a difference in the outcome, because of the potential that including them could delay certification. In other words they sued to get something to happen that had already happened.

The pedantic part of me wants to argue with this characterization for some pretty boring reasons, but the part of me full of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness is just so giddy about how fucking hysterically funny it is regardless of how you characterize it that I really don't fucking care.

BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

The other suit where a sanctions motion was filed is in Michigan, also.  Maybe different parties, as I believe it was the lawyer for the City of Detroit that did it first.  Maybe the State is joining that motion or maybe it's in a different suit.

More of these defendants need to sack up and do this, it will open the door to bar sanctions.
