You know who I feel a bit sorry for at this point? Mike Pence.
Imagine being stuck in the middle of that shit storm, dragged into meeting after meeting with a bunch of New York shyster lawyers, watching Rudy's hair dye dripping all over the desk as he uncorks yet another bizzaro plan, or tries to explain how giving a press conference at a garden center was the perfect example of n-dimensional chess.
Nah, Pence has made his bones.
You may even get to see him in 2024...

I can't really see him as President. He's as unlikely a figure as John Major was to succeed Margaret Thatcher -a real life example of a man who ran away from the circus to go work in a bank.

Maybe not, but I don't think we've seen the last of Pence.
He could start a law firm with Ezra Pound and Curt Schilling.

John Farthing could join them.

Or they could move to Canada and call themselves the Three Loonies.

WHOOPS
"The Third Circuit Court of Appeals said in a scathing 21-page opinion that the Trump campaign’s challenge of a U.S. District Court’s decision had “no merit.”
HAHAHA, activist judicial machinery....
The opinion was written by Judge Stephanos Bibas, who was appointed to the court by Trump. Bibas was joined by two other Republican-appointed judges in a unanimous 3-0 panel.
“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,” Bibas wrote.

from the times, on the same ruling...
In her Twitter post, Ms. Ellis accused “the activist judicial machinery in Pennsylvania” of covering up “allegations of massive fraud” despite the fact that all three judges on the panel were appointed by Republicans. But given the narrow way the Trump campaign structured its appeal, it would not get much even if the U.S. Supreme Court granted its proposed request to reverse the Third Circuit. Mr. Trump’s lawyers had asked the appellate court only for permission to submit a revised version of its original complaint to Judge Brann. If the Supreme Court abided by the strict terms of the appeals, it could do no more than return the case to Judge Brann’s court for further action.
on to SCOTUS....uhh wait a sec

@bachophile Trump is changing tack.
Now it’s on Biden to produce evidence that his votes were legal. IOW: guilty until proven innocent:

Scotus will deny cert.
Andrew McCarthy today:
it is highly unlikely — I am tempted to say inconceivable — that the Supreme Court would agree to hear that case.

@jon-nyc said in Trump lawsuits:
Earlier they only had the caveat about 50% being used to pay down campaign debt. Now it's going all kinds of places.
This is just crazy.
But the fine print indicates much of the money donated to support that effort since Election Day has instead paid down campaign debt, replenished the Republican National Committee and, more recently, helped get Save America, a new political action committee Trump founded, off the ground.
The unusual way the Trump campaign is divvying up the contributions has drawn scrutiny from election watchdogs, who say Trump and his family are poised to financially benefit from the arrangement.
“This is a slush fund. That’s the bottom line,” said Paul S. Ryan, a longtime campaign finance attorney with the good government group Common Cause. “Trump may just continue to string out this meritless litigation in order to fleece his own supporters of their money and use it in the coming years to pad his own lifestyle while teasing a 2024 candidacy.”

So let's do the math, how many dollars per Trump voter have they gotten? Jon, you're good at math, please let us know.

Seven billion people know the election was rigged, and he's raised over 100 trillion dollars. That works out at roughly 14 thousand dollars per person, most of which they'd already been given in massive tax cuts by Trump himself.

@horace I think 3-5 USD$ LOL
A Starbucks coffee? Sounds about right.
