‘Purely outlandish stuff’: Trump’s legal machine grinds to a halt

So many lawsuits have been filed in so many state and federal courts that no one has an exact number. The campaign has lost nearly all of the cases that have been decided so far.

www.politico.com

I love this part:

[Ben] Ginsberg chuckled at one hapless Michigan lawyer who filed an election challenge Thursday evening in a federal claims court in Washington, D.C., the wrong venue, and bizarrely titled it, “Donald Trump v. USA,” as if the president was suing the nation.

“Why would anyone ever use that title?” Ginsberg wondered, speculating that Trump’s lawyers are trying to “appease their client” by filing the suits that have little prayer of succeeding because, “they don’t have instances of fraud or irregularities that are relevant.”

I think I start another countdown.
This time until January 20th ........ Google says 66.

What a loser.

The longer he puts off admitting defeat, the more likely it is the democrats gain two senate seats from Georgia.

So... if you consider all votes against Twitler as 'illegal' then sure, he would win by millions of votes.

What a loser.

We let him slip into office. What does that make us?

We let him slip into office. What does that make us?

Who is "us"?

People who didn't vote for him, can't be held responsible for the loser in office.
Everyone who still believes in him?
.... eh, no comment.

I knew that, of course... I was being, erm, metaphorical. Is it really that easy for a serving member of the US armed forces to disobey a direct order from his Commander-in-Chief ?? Isn't that some kind of treason?

"Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort." -- US Constitution

If you consider Trump to be Putin's lackey, then obeying the order would be treason. I left out an obvious proviso: if another country was already attacking us, then retaliation is in order, and any President would have his orders followed. I was talking about a random attack for no reason.

Disobeying a direct order is allowed if the order is illegal. There are also rules of engagement in the military (I don't know the exact name for the one that covers nuclear weapons) to prevent mass destruction unless absolutely necessary.

This is how to do it:

Singer James Blunt 'prevented World War III'

Singer James Blunt tells the BBC how he refused an order to attack Russian troops when he was a British army officer in Kosovo.

N.B. please that, contrary to Internet folklore, it was Gen Sir Mike Jackson, not James Blunt (then a captain in the Life Guards, not a singer) who delivered the famous line about not starting World War 3.

Also

Did Singer James Blunt Prevent World War III?

An anecdote about the musician's time as a soldier in Kosovo has been distorted over the years.

Try being in an independent party. I voted for dems both in 2016 and in 2020 to try to help them and still get yelled at by dems.

Trump officials rush to auction off rights to Arctic National Wildlife Refuge before Biden can block it

https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-environment/2020/11/16/arctic-refuge-drilling-trump/

Salting the earth on the way out.

The Trump administration has called for oil and gas firms to pick spots where they want to drill in Alaska’s Arctic National Wildlife Refuge as it races to open the pristine wilderness to development and lock in drilling rights before President-elect Joe Biden takes office.

The “call for nominations” to be published Tuesday allows companies to identify tracts to bid on during an upcoming lease sale on the refuge’s nearly 1.6 million acre coastal plain, a sale that the Interior Department aims to hold before Biden takes the oath of office in January. The move would be a capstone of President Trump’s efforts to open up public lands to logging, mining and grazing — something Biden strongly opposes.

For a guy who is so adamant that he's won the election, he sure isn't even bothering to do the job he currently has. He's not even phoning it in. I mean, has he done anything since November 3 besides golf and tweet?

Fired a bunch of people who were, it seems, insufficiently obsequious toward His Divine Orangeness ....

Well, he's trying again to make getting SSI and disability even harder, to defune Social Security -again-.... oh, and to encourage his thugs to go after us 'unamerican' types ie non-asskissers....?
