The Republican Election Challenges

But seeing as they wont be able to buy the good lawyer, This is what Marty is left with.

I want someone to post an obituary "accidentally" before Giuliani carks it, and for him to read it.

Rudolph William Louis Giuliani, best known for leading Donald Trump's fruitless efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election, has died from COVID-19 complications at age 76. Giuliani, son of an Italian-American small-time gangster who served time in Sing Sing, worked as a volunteer for John F. Kennedy's campaign in 1960. He married Regina Perrugi in 1968, but the marriage was annulled 15 years later when he reportedly discovered that they were cousins.

After a period working as a lawyer and a prosecutor, he became mayor of New York City and aimed for higher office, but abandoned his Senate race against Hillary Clinton after being diagnosed with prostate cancer. An unsuccessful run for president in 2008 followed, in which he endorsed John McCain weeks after receiving just 2% of the vote in the South Carolina primary.

He briefly returned to the spotlight in 2019 and 2020 for his efforts on behalf of President Trump, which led to Trump's impeachment in connection with attempts to pressure Ukraine for information on President-elect Joe Biden. After Trump's election loss, Giuliani was the lead lawyer in fruitless attempts to overturn the election and appeared at several bizarre press conferences, including one in which a dark substance, believed to be hair dye or mascara, dripped down his face.

In the weeks before his death, Giuliani, who steadfastly refused to wear a mask in public, is believed to have infected dozens of people with the coronavirus. Earlier in the pandemic, he downplayed the severity of the crisis while promoting the discredited hydroxychloroquine treatment promoted by Trump. “The Hydroxy treatment, first introduced by POTUS, appears to be working so far!” he tweeted in March. accusing the “demented left” of wanting to ban the therapy.

Doctors at George Washington University hospital declined to comment on whether Giuliani had been treated with hydroxychloroquine. A funeral service will be held Saturday at a crematorium in Philadelphia, across the road from Four Seasons Landscaping.

10/10 punchline.

This could be an interesting sideshow.

Nearly 1,500 lawyers on Monday urged the bar associations across the US to initiate an investigation and take action against Donald Trump’s legal team, including his personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani, who are leading lawsuits claiming election fraud.

They argued that the attempts of Mr Trump’s legal team are “indefensible” and they must be penalised.

“It is indefensible for lawyers to falsely proclaim widespread voting fraud, submit a pattern of frivolous court claims and actively seek to undermine citizens’ faith in our election’s integrity,. We condemn this conduct without reservation." said the letter.

More than 1,000 lawyers call for Giuliani’s ‘strike force’ to be disbarred for election fraud conspiracies

Legal experts ask bar associations to condemn and investigate the abuse of law by Trump’s legal team

If I've read this right, the deadline locking in the electoral votes will pass so congressional challenges become moot, not sure if that affects these obviously entirely unvexatious legal "cases"

Tuesday's safe harbor deadline is boost for Biden

WASHINGTON (AP) — A deadline set Tuesday under federal law essentially locks in President-elect Joe Biden’s victory, even though President Donald Trump is still falsely claiming he won reelection.

How odd!!!
They really do have a strange electoral system.

In new lawsuit, Texas contests election results in Georgia, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is asking the U.S. Supreme Court to block the battleground states from casting "unlawful and constitutionally tainted votes" in the Electoral College. There is no evidence of widespread voter fraud, experts say.

www.texastribune.org

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is suing four battleground states — Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin — whose election results handed the White House to President-elect Joe Biden.

In the suit, he claims that pandemic-era changes to election procedures in those states violated federal law, and asks the U.S. Supreme Court to block the states from voting in the Electoral College.

The last-minute bid, which legal experts have already characterized as a longshot, comes alongside dozens of similar attempts by President Donald Trump and his political allies. The majority of those lawsuits have already failed.

Even if they did remove their say, Biden would still have 12 more electoral college votes (not 270 but if you are going to start striping out States votes that thresehold would also have to go out the window

Lol. Trump gets all the best lawyers.

 

[bimble]

That last sentence, about how if the Supreme Court doesn't sort it there's still "the military option", do you know what fever dream this is Marty1 ?
Do you still have hope if the SCOTUS doesn't ride to yr man's rescue or will you be able then to accept at that point that you've backed a massive loser ?

I've just come across the Forbes link for that

Texas Asks Supreme Court To Overturn Biden’s Win In Last-Ditch Election Lawsuit

Legal experts say the litigation is “utter garbage” and deeply unlikely to succeed.

the opinion is that it is not so much a long shot as a shot in the dark by a blindfolded blind man

Gonna asssume this is where we post Trump's loses.

Supreme Court rejects Republican push to overturn Biden win in Pennsylvania

The Supreme Court on Tuesday turned back an effort by Republicans to reverse President-elect Joe Biden's victory in Pennsylvania.

www.cnbc.com

• The Supreme Court on Tuesday turned back an effort by Republicans to reverse President-elect Joe Biden’s victory in Pennsylvania.
• The top court rejected a petition from Trump ally Rep. Mike Kelly, a Pennsylvania Republican, who argued that virtually all of the state’s mail-in ballots were unlawful.
• The move closes off one of President Donald Trump’s last remaining paths to overturning the results of the 2020 election in court, even as some far-fetched legal cases remain in the works.

He won a case against Neil Young today, though. Or Neil Young decided it wasn't worth carrying on. Maybe that's the start of him turning things around.

no mention of his successful acting career?

 

[Marty1]

Doesn’t look like Trump is letting up - this tweet/retweet today highlights Amy Coney Barrett who is a staunch constitutionalist and some say one of the main reasons Trump picked her for SCOTUS.

 

[Yossarian]

no mention of his successful acting career?

"Giuliani's notable screen appearances include the 2020 Borat movie, in which he appeared to fondle himself in the presence of an actress portraying a 15-year-old girl, and a skit from around 2000 when Giuliani, in drag, allowed Trump to nuzzle his fake breasts."

 

[belboid]

Doesn’t look like Trump is letting up on trying to con money out of fools like me and boring everybody else to death now.

Texas is suing 4 states.

The lawsuit filed late Monday night by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton asked the justices to issue a temporary restraining order preventing the states “from taking action to certify presidential electors or to have such electors take any official action including without limitation participating in the electoral college.”

The suit argues that changes made by the state’s governors, secretaries of states and election supervisors were “inconsistent with relevant state laws and were made by non-legislative entities, without any consent by the state legislatures. The acts of these officials thus directly violated the Constitution.”

Fuck me do you end up going down the rabbit hole when you click on one of his links....
Among his other tweets today

82 Airborne starting to do weather forcasts

and
General Flynn spreading bollocks

Bloomberg - Are you a robot?

 

[Yossarian]

Fuck me do you end up going down the rabbit hole when you click on one of his links....

With that weird Amy Coney Barrett picture, I think the chances of Trump eventually leaving the White House in a straitjacket are getting stronger - "You won, Mr. President, you finally did it, there's a huge crowd, the biggest crowd ever, waiting to hear your speech, we have a special shirt for you to wear..."

 

[bimble]

That ‘major patriot’ account the outgoing president was boosting in Marty’s post there it’s one of the biggest Qanon propagandists on Twitter. Great stuff.

It's somewhat reminiscent of something the Islamic State did.

The image, or the installment of a hardline religious fundamentalist as the supreme legal authority?

i saw someone the other day describe the maga-qanon convergence as fascist mysticism, that works.

The image mainly though I take your point it could be both.
