To filibuster or not to filibuster? Biden needs to get a move on before Doofus Duck waddles back into the swamp (Biden-Trump Thread #128)

Still waiting for the kraken to appear.

Plus he told them "I'll see that you're OK" and "I'll take care of your legal fees" if they 'got into trouble'.

And they were so stupid that they believed him, and believe him still.

Up is down with the GOP as usual North.

'The new suit seeks damages “in an amount to be determined at trial, but believed to be no less than One Hundred Million Dollars” from both Mary Trump and the Times.'

Also upside down -- on guns.

Also bonkers.

'“Our waitress came over, sat down next to me and said, ‘Our manager told me to come over because I am nicer than he is… But this is political and I need you to take your masks off.'”'

This looks as if it might be quite fun, but unfortunately the Washington Post is having one of its periodic refusals to let me read the full story without signing up -- and they won't take payment in £sterling.

And this is plain old-fashioned horrendous. Perhaps the most telling thing:
"Adolescents are more susceptible to advertising and especially advertising that endorses or simulates risky behavior, right?" Lefkowitz said. "And that's why alcohol companies, cigarette companies, and car companies have to be careful about the way that they market it."

This can't be true....

I read that Chief Filibuster - Groundhog McConnell is back to shutting down government again.

Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell swiftly announced that Republicans would sink the measure with a filibuster and prevent it from receiving the 60 votes needed to pass – causing a government shutdown on 1 October and a default weeks later.

The opposition from McConnell means the Democrats’ proposal is dead on arrival. And with no serious discussions to resolve the high-stakes showdown in sight, the US now faces the prospect of a shutdown government defaulting on $28tn of debt.

Same old.

What's the point when they'll either just refuse to turn up or they'll lie through their rotten teeth?

House committee on Capitol attack subpoenas Trump’s ex-chief of staff and other top aides.
Mark Meadows, Steve Bannon and Dan Scavino among advisers called to testify over president’s connection to 6 January events.

There is no guarantee that the subpoena targets will comply. Trump has suggested he will demand that the Biden administration invoke executive privilege over Trump-era executive branch records requested by the select committee and try to block damaging witness testimony.

But it appears unlikely that the White House Office of Legal Counsel would assert the protection in the case of 6 January materials, given it previously allowed Trump DOJ officials to testify to Congress and the protection does not extend to an individual’s private interests.

Remember the Arizona 2020 election audit? Findings report due today.

Remember this too?

And more on the Arizona recount

The AZ audit not only found Trump was not cheated victory rather it “found just the opposite: It tallied 99 additional votes for President Biden and 261 fewer votes for Mr. Trump.” via @NYTimes t.co/5GFMTdQGHM

On the Chauvin appeal all I'll say is...

Well... he would do wouldn't he...

So that's cost nearly $16,000 per extra vote for Biden.

Not quite the equation that Trump and his acolytes wanted Shame

So does this mean that a Republican recount, carried out by Republicans at the behest of and paid for by Fart supporters, has failed to find anything in the Fart's favour or which in any way supported his claims of voter fraud?

Ooops.

So how are his base going to explain this away? because they will, absolutely for sure, but how is it going to be done?

Or is it just so they can use it for more voting reforms like

"That suggestion follows a law passed in May that removed voters from the list if they do not cast a ballot at least once every two years."

(What happens if there is no vote within a two year period? Does everyone in the entire state lose their right to vote? Sounds like a wannabe dictator's mandate: just postpone one election and Bingo.)

Haha, Giuliani has been banned from Fox News, guess they don't fancy risking falling foul of a billion dollar lawsuit

Doofus put a statement on his website last night awaiting to see what the highly respected auditors and Arizona State Senate found out.

This statement has now been deleted

Shame about the audit.
