Dominion Voting Systems announced yesterday that they are suing Rudy Giuliani for a cool $1.3 billion for defamation.  Defamation is putting it lightly, since he spewed pure bullshit and fantastical conspiracy theories blaming the company for Trump’s loss at the polls.  The funny thing, though, is that three hours after being sued, Rudy suddenly came to his senses and announced on his radio show on WABC that “As far as this election is concerned, it’s over.” and, “Biden’s the president, she’s the vice president.”

Later, in a formal statement he complained that Dominion was trying to “intimidate” him with the large demand, and threatened discovery in his counter suit.  I’m sure they’re quaking in their boots.

Yesterday, during the avalanche of news that Biden had just won the election for President of the United States, Rudy Giuliani and other swamp creatures were holding a “big news conference” on the outskirts of Philadelphia in the parking lot of the Four Seasons.  Hotel, you ask?  Oh, no.  It’s much better than that.  The Four Seasons Total Landscaping.  When I saw it on Trump’s Twitter feed yesterday morning, I thought it was just Trump’s usual idiocy, but it’s better than that; a LOT better than that.  Trump had actually tweeted earlier that said “big” press conference would be at the Four Seasons Hotel, but when he found out that indeed it was the landscaping company, someone deleted that tweet and issued a corrected one.  So, apparently Trump doesn’t have a building named for him in Philadelphia so he gave orders to get the Four Seasons Hotel, so some harried and bullied staffer rushed to book the event, apparently not thinking there was more than one Four Seasons in Philadelphia.  So Rudy shows up here:

That’s right, here is the former “America’s Mayor” turned presidential slanderer giving Trump’s “big news conference”  from the shabby parking lot of a landscaping company sandwiched between a crematorium and porn shop.  Next to the boat with Trump flags at the bottom of Lake Travis, there is no better metaphor for Trump’s disastrous infestation of the WH.  Oh, and here’s the boat:

Here’s hoping the landscape company owner got paid up front.

In a court filing yesterday, the US Attorney prosecuting Giuliani associate Lev Parnas claimed that he was being paid by the Russians, too, and that he was hiding the money in his wife’s name.  He received  a cool $1 million from them in September.  They have asked the judge to revoke Parnas’ bail and jail him.

More manure on the giant Trump manure pile.

Sondland released his opening statement a few minutes ago AND he’s going to pin the who Ukrainegate thing on…wait for it…Trump and Giuliani.  MoJo is reading it live right now and it is ugly (and beautiful for us).

I do believe and I can hear ol’ Dandy Don Meredith singing out there somewhere.

Astros win!

Ok, seriously…two Giuliani associates, Ukraine born Lev Parma, and Belarusian born Igor Fruman were arrested last night trying to board a flight out of the country at Dulles airport after having lunch earlier in the day with…wait for it…Rudy Giuliani.  And guess where they had lunch…that’s right, the Trump International Hotel.  They’re now charged with funneling foreign money (including from a Russian oligarch) into pro-Trump PACs to influence US politicians including our own Pete Sessions, former congressvarmit.  Sessions has been exposed for pushing the State Department to fire former US Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yavanovich; Parma and Fruman have been implicated in that ousting.  Why was she ousted, you ask?  For being “anti-Trump”.

Also, Trump unilaterally announced the withdrawl of support of longstanding allies, the Kurds of Northern Syria.  Recall that the Kurds led the way in ousting ISIS from Syria, and for holding 50,000 former ISIS fighters in prison.  All those bets are off, and some Republicans, including Lindsey Graham have actually learned to stand without spines against Trump’s rashness.

Meanwhile, Jared and Ivanka have reported $82 million in income during 2018 while serving in the White House, 4 more White House staff are reported to have blown the whistle on Trump’s shakedown of Zelensky, and Trump continues spouting bullshit in Hitleresque political rallies.

Oh, and Rick Perry’s been subpoenaed to testify before the impeachment inquiry about his involvement in shaking down Ukraine to get them to manufacture dirt on a political rival.

But, please…let’s talk about Biden.
