Wondering ADDED TREAT
A week ago, the GOP and Trump were both tweeting out that lawyer and official scrambled brains Sidney Powell was part of their “team” of legal powerhouses. They quoted her, they pushed her out front at press conferences, and they adored her.
Ka-Bam! Off with her head. Yesterday —
“Sidney Powell is practicing law on her own. She is not a member of the Trump Legal Team. She is also not a lawyer for the President in his personal capacity.” – Rudy Giuliani, Attorney for President Trump, and Jenna Ellis, Trump Campaign Senior Legal Advisor and Attorney for President Trump.
Christmas season is approaching and I was wondering what it would cost to get a personalized document like that as gifts to the lawyers I know. I need a piece of paper saying the lawyers I know are personally clear of representing Donald Trump to hang on their wall. Hell, I know some crazy lawyers who would love to have that on their bragging wall at the office.
So you got fired from the team led by this guy.
Proud moment, Sidney Powell, proud moment.
Thanks to Kary for the heads up.
Added Treat – Elizabeth Moon made a quick award in case you need one for any lawyer you know. NotTrumpLawyerAward
Really embarrassing to be so unhinged that somebody as unhinged as Rudy Giuliani throws you under the bus for being unhinged.
1We’re now in the jump-the-shark professional reboot phase of The Apprentice.
A document suitable for framing that states:
You’re Fired!
From the Trump Administration
would make a treasured gift this holiday season.
2Wot??! Is Sidney actually not as crazy as she sounds? Dumped from the Rudy Circus and Sideshow, albeit unceremoniously, but
3none the less a pass off the crazy train.
Understand she’s doubled down on the crazy Dominion, Bernie, Kemp, Venezuela conspiracy. It’s also the same conspiracy Trumpf and Giuliani were touting as being the big news to be forthcoming out of Georgia tying Dominion to the 2020 election fraud in other states. The Trumpf clan always need a scapegoat, and she’s it for this episode. Maybe they were pissed she beat them out in spilling the conspiracy beans. They’re all crazy.
4I believe Kemp already called bullshit, but haven’t heard from Bernie. Maybe he thinks it better to ignore it- he’s probably right.
Man, that crowd can throw somebody under the bus before you can blink. Such lovely people!
Still, when you are too crazy for Rudy . . .
5A personalized gift for lawyers you know, Miz Juanita? That’s what Microsoft Word templates will do for you. Right now my Word shows an adorable little award certificate that starts with World’s Best and which I customized to “Not a Trump Team Lawyer” with the “in recognition of” customized to “Never Being and Still Not Being on the Trump Legal Team.
Unfortunately, I can’t export it out of this Firefox to your very dangerous beauty parlor, and it may be a bit too cutesy for the lawyers you know (pale green curly ribbons and pale blue stars for a border), but someone’s surely got a blank award certificate you could use. I’ll see if I can attach it as an email, though.
6JJ, can I get a copy saying I’m not trumps lawyer?
7Thankew, Miz Juanita Jean….I have some handy dandy leftover certificate blanks/stock certificate borders (no clue as to what I had to have them for), and now I have a fabulous new use for them! Holiday season now solved!
8Dang – I have a lovely version all done up in a Word Perfect template and can’t send it! It’s even signed by Rudy and Jenna, with their titles and everything!
9A new white house short-term employment record.
THREE QUARTERS OF A SCARAMUCCI !!!!
10Elizabeth Moon, you could probably sell a million of those.If nothing else, donate the profits to the Georgia Senate contenders. They’d be great gifts.
11I’d like one.
And I’m a pipefitter.
Not much left for the crack Trumpf legal team to do after the PA Supreme Court throws out the last Trumpf lawsuit and MI had at least one righteous Republican on the board and certified the vote. Oh boo hoo Trumpf.
12It’s less a matter of “throwing someone under the bus”, and more like “damn, how did they fit so many clowns in that little car?”
13This by no means is meant to be fat shaming- it’s just a saying in sports when the game is completely out of reach. It’s the bottom of the ninth, down by 70ish runs, 2 outs, 3 strikes, no balls, your worst player is up- and the “fat lady sings.”
14Apparently the head of the gsa has thrown in the towel and is starting the transition for Biden-Harris. Of course Trumpf seems to think he gets more innings because the other team was throwing spitballs, and he can have all their runs thrown out. I might have to toast this tonight.
Well, Giuliani has set the bar very high for the definition of “flop sweat.”
15Steve from Beaverton says:
“This by no means is meant to be fat shaming- … the “fat lady sings.”
In this instance I describe it as The Fat Malady Sings.
16Powell appears to be/have been a lawyer of some skill. President of the Association of Federal Appellate Lawyers.
The candidate pool for that may be small and perhaps it is one of those jobs that go begging for someone to fill, but still.
So, was she always crazy but fortunate for the first 30 years of her career not to be put in a position where that was noticeable, or did she become crazy? And if the second, how did that come about?
Over my reporting career I fairly often encountered people who were successful if not brilliant physicians, college professors and the like who, when you got in their offices and looked over their books (a habit of mine) entertained loopy beliefs.
17I think I know what the problem was
181) She was trying to out-crazy Rudy
2) She has too many X chromosomes…
