    This is as weird as heck.

    Have any of Trump's supporters here commented on how bizarre this error-prone debacle is?

    I was only joking

        Except I’m floating a joke, not an actual theory.

        The only explanation consistent with Powell’s sanity and competence was that she was going through these motions in order to curry favor with Trump for the sake of her client Flynn.

        But now that his pardon is secured, one or both of those need to give. (Presumptions of sanity and competence)

          See, here's the problem I'm having. I never thought of Powell, or for that matter, Giuliani, as being "cranks." And now, until I see hard, hard, evidence, they're coming off like the Keystone Kops of the bar.

          These are errors which are so basic that would cause me to fail a medical student.

            Frankly, I think Flynn should be pardoned. All he did was embarrass the Vice President by lying about his conversation with the Russian Ambassador. His subsequent resignation was appropriate. The rest of the story is inconsequential.

              To Powell's credit, she did a hell of a job unearthing the malfeasance of the FBI in this entire affair. And that is why I made my comment two posts above.

                When someone is engaged in battle, it is foolish to reach conclusions about the methods being used and mistakes being made before the fight ends. What matters is who won in the end.

                  I know that precipitated his problems but his other lies seem far more damning. I’m speaking specifically about lying about his work for the Turkish government and saying US businesses paid for a trip to Moscow when it was really the Russian state that paid for it.

                          I now feel bad for the Kraken.
                          The kraken is now so maligned for being associated with the Trump election lawsuit train wreck.
                          Poor kraken.

                            Jon, im certain that youre aware that there are lots of people or companies out there that have computerized setups that constantly put together possible domain names based on whats going on, buy those domains in hopes that someone else will come along wanting to register that name and have to buy it from them.

                            I did a search once to see if a particular domain name was available. It was. But I didn't have my wallet handy. It took me less than a minute to get my wallet and log back in to register the domain name. When I went back one minute later, that domain name as well as every possible variety of that name had already been registered.

                              Yeah to be honest I didn’t think it was she who set it up.

                              It’s more the idea that people think this is qualifying.

                              But then I guess ‘she’s a fighter’.

                                      Still, three out of four Wisconsin Supreme Courtesy justices support the Trump campaign!s submission, that’s three too many given the submission’s lack merit. Even one of the four who makes up the majority did so on procedural grounds rather than on merit. That’s way to close to nullifying Wisconsin’s votes.

                                        @jon-nyc said in Maybe “Kraken” was just a misspelling of “Karen”:

                                        Wisconsin Supreme Court unimpressed with Team Trump's submission.

                                        Funny, that.

                                        Still, three out of four Wisconsin Supreme Courtesy justices support the Trump campaign!s submission, that’s three too many given the submission’s lack merit. Even one of the four who makes up the majority did so on procedural grounds rather than on merit. That’s way to close to nullifying Wisconsin’s votes.

                                        I was surprised too. But the dissenting judge says that going back to the lower court won't give them enough time to come back to the supreme court for a ruling.

                                        It's not based on the merits of the case.

                                          Not as bad as that. 2 of the dissenters said the remedy was unjustified.
