Y’all, seriously. This was Trump’s tweet this morning.

It appears that Trump wants to relose.  Get your dancing shoes ready – we’re gonna get to dance in the streets again.

Like most of America, I thought the Rudy Giuliani press conference at The Four Seasons (Lawn Care Co.) was so perfectly Shakespearian in its hubris that it became a thing a beauty.

And it gets better.

The first witness Rudy had testify to shenanigans in Pennsylvania was a man named Daryl Brooks.  Come to find out, Daryl is a convicted sex offender.  And that as a poll watcher, Daryl thought he was entitled to look at every damn ballot cast in Philadelphia.  And probably do weird things with them that you do not want to know about. Being next door to a porn shop probably was not an accident.

Some wise person is already making money off Rudy’s Show.

Lawn and Order. That’s good.

And Jake Tapper had fun.

Well, there is a crematorium there.

Thanks to everyone for the heads up.

There is no one more polarizing than Alexandria Ocasio Cortez (AOC) but give her this, she gets her money’s worth on the Twitter machine. This past weekend she turned her attention to John Kasich and his comments about progressives.

I think the biggest negative surprise from the race was the lack of effect of people like Kasich. I don’t know that anyone expected Ohio to turn because of him but he, other conservative defectors, and the Lincoln Project didn’t seem to have an electoral effect beyond a few points. So, what positive benefit did Joe Biden have by having people like Kasich on his side?

AOC got blasted for the timing of her tweet, but God love her, she only has one speed. She’s going to go full blast no matter what she does. The question is whether she’s right. The election returns in the House and Senate seem to say she is. Furthermore, polling on individual issues within the progressive platform seem to indicate she is.

It remains to be seen whether national Democratic leaders are shying away from the progressive platform because they don’t believe in it or whether they think appealing to the middle is still a winning formula. I’m not even sure there is much of a middle anymore.

Mike Pence and Nikki Haley are trying to give Trump accolades for this great news.

Pfizer announced Monday morning its coronavirus vaccine is 90% effective.

Pence jumps on this like green on grass.

No, no, no, little Uptight Skippy, Trump didn’t have a damn thing to do with this.

The pharmaceutical giant refused to partner with the Trump administration to develop the drug, instead it worked with a German group.

The CEO of Pfizer turned down the money Trump offered and worked with the German group.  So now Trump has to go to Germany to ask if we can please have some of their drug.

Thanks to everybody for the heads up.

Oh y’all, I am going to assume that all of Trump’s lawyers are getting paid up front because nothing breaks America’s heart more than a lawyer getting screwed by Trump.

I can promise you that we are going to see hijinxs and romps through logic galore during the court battle between Trump and reality.

And it started last week in Pennsylvania.  One of Trump’s lawyers went before a federal judge whining that there weren’t enough Republicans in the counting room.  I suspect he should have added, “… to meet Trump’s high standards of Republican intimidation and exposure of innocent people to a deadly pandemic,” but he didn’t.

And then it gets fun.

“When the judge pressed the Trump campaign lawyer if there were observers in the room from the campaign, the lawyer, Jerome Marcus, said, “There’s a non-zero number of people in the room.”

The judge, Paul Diamond of the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, a George W. Bush appointee, also pointed out he believed the President’s case appeared to have no reason to be in federal court, and even cracked a joke that the lawyer “shouldn’t quit his day job” when the campaign handed the judge a hand-drawn map of the ballot counting room.

A non-zero number? Oh no. So, here’s Trump’s lawyer in the wrong court, submitting the wrong writ and giving the wrong answer. See why I suggest he get paid up front?

How many votes did Trump get in the 2020 election, Ms. Juanita? “I am sorry to have to admit it was a non-zero number.”

Please put on your seat belt. This is gonna be a bumpy but awfully fun ride.

Thanks to Ralph for the heads up.

A company run by Trump’s digital director was caught sending thousands of incendiary texts to Trump supporters telling them to amass in Philadelphia and falsely demonstrate that Dems were stealing the election.  This will pretty much shoot down Giuliani’s claims of voter fraud.
