@BruceAndNosh he’s done that quite a bit recently! This pic is from 14 Nov I think? Maybe the pressure’s getting to him... Of course, he claims his skin colour is down to great genes! 🤣

Kraken lady planning on filing election related lawsuit today or tomorrow.
Conveniently fits in with my plans to win the lottery on Saturday.

@Cacacoisfarraige

I see Trump is heading to Gettysburg with Guliani to make an address. Hopefully they double check on google maps first
I'd like to see them turn up here.

Book your Gettysburg stay with Gettysburg Hotel for an experience of a lifetime. Located in the heart of Lincoln Square, this hotel features many functional amenities–from swimming pools and indoor gyms to a whole variety of dining options in the vicinity. The hotel room itself is spacious and comes complete with large comfortable beds, a work space, a charming fireplace, and a clean bathroom. Look out for Rachel, one of the most popular resident ghosts of the Gettysburg Hotel. Believed to be a Civil War nurse, Rachel can be seen wandering the hotel, opening drawers and removing clothes in your room! If you are lucky, you may even spot some of the ghost wounded soldiers wandering around the rooms at night. Hurry up and book your stay today, and share your chilling encounters with us!

Is it going to be like the scene from "House of Cards" with (ahem) Kevin Spacey ????

From Washington Post:
Trump is planning to travel to Pennsylvania on Wednesday to join his lawyer, Rudolph W. Giuliani, at a meeting of state Republican lawmakers examining accusations of election impropriety, according to multiple reports.
The trip is not listed on Trump’s schedule for Wednesday issued by the White House, and aides have not publicly confirmed it is happening. But multiple outlets, including CNN and Bloomberg News, have reported that plans are in the works for Trump to travel to the meeting as he continues to contest the election results.
Pennsylvania certified its election results on Tuesday. Biden leads Trump in the state by more than 80,000 votes.
Unfounded allegations of widespread fraud by Trump and allies have been repeatedly rejected in the courts.

Let's hope that's the dying fart of an aged dinosaur, rather than the clarion call of a new regime ...

BruceAndNosh · 25/11/2020 14:23

I do find the appointing of judges as political acts deeply disturbing.

DuncinToffee · 25/11/2020 15:51

Rudy time again?

I don't really understand what is happening in legal terms and the waht exactly the 3rd circuit means but the comments about the letterhead and footnotes are funny

Zoe Tillman @ZoeTillman

New: The Trump campaign filed a three-page letter in the 3rd Circuit this morning requesting oral argument in its big case trying to undo Biden's win in PA:

3rd Circuit

The United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit (in case citations, 3d Cir.) is a federal court with appellate jurisdiction over the district courts for the following districts:

District of Delaware
District of New Jersey
Eastern District of Pennsylvania
Middle District of Pennsylvania
Western District of Pennsylvania

DGRossetti · 25/11/2020 16:01

Twitterards have already picked it clean Smile

As we can see, it comes from a "full-service law firm," which in this case seems to mean "three rings, no waiting."

and it just gets better from there.

In a nutshell it seems Donalds team want to be allowed to whine in person before the court rather than actually submit any evidence. They also appear to be trying to retrofix some of their gaffes from earlier while also trying to crowbar previously unseen evidence into the appeal (which is generally a no no).

In the light of previous judgements, I can't see this lasting long. Although it's slated for Monday ? So that's 5 full days of shaking the begging bowl.

Biden will pardon absolutely everything illegal Trump has done in some pathetic, weak attempt to look like a 'move to heal the nation' in a hark back to reconstruction, with absolutely no reform so the next corrupt dickhead who fancies it can come crashing in and do twice as much damage now that he has the instruction manual. Thats my prediction.

AskingQuestionsAllTheTime · 25/11/2020 16:15

I am not at all sure Biden will bother; he is going to be rather busy to spend his time worrying about a senile has-been.

AskingQuestionsAllTheTime · 25/11/2020 16:16

In any case he won;t be able to pardon the orange utan for all the non-federal crimes.

BruceAndNosh · 25/11/2020 16:17

The Battle of Gettysburg Mark 2, Trump and Rudi Go Bonkers has apparently been cancelled

Even if that were to happen, it won't save Trump from any state charges. And didn't I read that NY has 67 sealed indictments alone ?

^This without a doubt. Starting with a pandemic which has already claimed around 250,000 American lives.

This Press Release from Trump Campaign implies that the Gettysburg shindig was a Pennsylvania Senate hearing (which to me would imply a cross party event, in State premises. But now it seems like the (cancelled) event was a GOP only thing in a hotel.
Which is better than a Landscaping business

Roussette · 25/11/2020 17:00

Gettsyburg has been cancelled because Rudi Deludi has been in contact with someone with covid.
How in god's name he's avoided it, I do not know, but with that sweating stuff, maybe it's him that has it.

TheNorthWestPawsage · 25/11/2020 17:14

A real mensch. Eat your heart out Trumpy.
