New Twist
This morning there was a hearing in federal court in Georgia where Trump’s lawyers closed the courtroom to the public and the media. Once again, Trump’s lawyers were asking the judge to overturn the results of the Georgia election.
Is anybody keeping score on the number of thumbs down Trump is getting?
Trump lost. Again.

But there was a new twist.
Additionally, while the initial lawsuit relied on an egregious misrepresentations of fact and law, Trump’s attorneys apparently decided to throw yet another malicious and legally spurious assertion into the mix, arguing that Vice President-elect Kamala Harris is ineligible to hold the office. The birther theory, popularized by law professor John Eastman, has been universally panned by legal experts.
It’s becoming obviously apparent that the Republican Party believes no black people were actually born in America.
Thanks to Elizabeth for the heads up.
