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.
