@SugarbabyMilly

Why is he trying to rush through executions with firing squad?
Because it makes him feel big and powerful, and pleases his more unpleasant supporters. They probably use the entire concept as wank-fodder.

The Kraken strikes: Fired Trump lawyer Sidney Powell sues Georgia and Michigan officials claiming Iran and China rigged voting machines, at least 96,000 ballots were counted but not recorded and water leak meant counters could tally votes unsupervised
Sidney Powell on Wednesday night made public two law suits alleging fraud

If they did that in the UK without a smidgeon of evidence, the claim would be struck out by the court at a very early stage. Can they do that in the US?

I suspect also that if SP were doing this in the UK she would end up being referred to her professional body with a view to disciplinary action being taken.

@DGRossetti

I never understood the need for churches for an omnipresent deity.

Or indeed praise for an omnipotent one.

On indeed confession for an omniscient one.

I really wasn't very popular at school at times.

(It's a shame "Bar Mitzvah Boy" doesn't get shown more often).

Me too. Nobody ever did manage to produce any justification to me for it being necessary for people to gather together in one building a specified times and work their way through a prescribed form of words week after week; surely it would be more productive to be out and about putting the principles of the religion in question into practice?

Ditto also with praising. Given traditions of British reticence, it still seems to me incredibly immodest for a deity to expect that his followers get together regularly to tell him how wonderful he is.

Whatcha gonna do about it ?

It’s amazing what the body can put up with - the likes of Ronnie Wood, Ozzy Osbourne, Gene Simmons, etc should have been dead decades ago based on their substance abuse.

@chomalungma

Oh dear

Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump
Biden can only enter the White House as President if he can prove that his ridiculous “80,000,000 votes” were not fraudulently or illegally obtained. When you see what happened in Detroit, Atlanta, Philadelphia & Milwaukee, massive voter fraud, he’s got a big unsolvable problem!

He's so bloody thick. Surely even he can dimly recall that no-one asked him to prove that each and every one of his votes was not fraudulently obtained?

“Charges of unfairness are serious. But calling an election ‘unfair’ does not make it so.

Charges require specific allegations and then proof. We have neither here.”

There are brave souls (qualified lawyers) on Twitter who have downloaded her submissions made late Wednesday, and basically live tweet their read through of each section with comments. Court filings are dull as ditchwater and incomprehensible to most people, but some of these discussions are really interesting, and in places extremely funny. I've just finished reading a humongous long thread dissecting her Michigan filing, written while simultaneously cooking and eating Thanksgiving turkey (with cooking tips) His conclusion is that any judge will be very displeased to be presented with such a document. Her filing seems to be full of cut and pastes that went wrong but were left in, resulting in sections where whole strings of words had no gaps between them, creating word salad. "Facts" without citations, references to subsections of legislation that doesn't exist. Quoted affadvits that required a tracker dog to locate (no table of contents provided). Expert Witnesses with no qualifications provided, and Star Witness whose name is not only redacted, she wants to only reveal his identity to the judge but not to defendants legal team. The whole thing has the air of having been produced by Powell being under the influence of mind altering substances. The reader's commentary repeatedly included the word "sanctionable" which is believe is the correct word for a lawyer getting the book thrown at them.

Oh no, I love those threads where someone who has a clue explains it to people who don't. Or when proceedings are tweeted out in RT.

Oh Jenna, I'm not sure referring to a Trump appointed Judge as an "Activist" is a good career move

BruceAndNosh · 27/11/2020 19:04

The fact the Trump's legal team keep crowing about how they are pleased to be getting closer to SCOTUS just shows how utterly convinced they are that they have bought the Court. It's indefensible.

DGRossetti · 27/11/2020 19:07

It’s amazing what the body can put up with - the likes of Ronnie Wood, Ozzy Osbourne, Gene Simmons, etc should have been dead decades ago based on their substance abuse.

Isn't Gene Simmons quite a puritan in everything but sex ?

Anyway, the dirty secret is almost all "drug" deaths aren't exactly. If you can get a good supply of decent shit, then you're fairly safe. It's only when you have to go to the street - where goodness knows what gets cut with I dread to think - that you start getting the sad sordid death of a junky. I am firmly of the opinion that prohibition - the "cure" - has been responsible for far more deaths than the "illness". Thank you Mr. Nixon.

I'm amusing myself with various scenarios of Scrotus meeting Biden at the WH door post-inauguration. One involves him dressed up in a Gandalf costume saying "You shall not pass!". Another is him dressed up as a raggy Bridgekeeper saying "Answer me these questions three ere the other side you'll see". My personal fav (so far) is Scrotus meeting Biden all ready to go full Rambo and Biden just saying "Get outta my way, man!" and Scrotus slinking off out the door. No, wait! My fav is Biden ordering the SS Agents to pick him up by his collar and the seat of his pants and toss him into the fountain!

Oh, the possibilities are endless!!!

BruceAndNosh · 27/11/2020 20:27

Idiot's Guide to recent case to be thrown out implies that SCOTUS should have no reason to look at it. Here's hoping!
