Tiresome. Ain’t it? Today Flynn is bolstering the Q in DC. A Catholic right wing priest is spouting off bull about Gods will. Proud Boys just jerking. The Jericho March led by a Shofar blowing Rabbi.

Maybe if there is no guaranteed news coverage of these morons shouting and bellowing and blowing shofars and everything else they do to get attention, they will stop shouting and bellowing and blowing shofars and just STFU

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—In a sign that he is not ready to give up his legal challenge to the 2020 election, Donald J. Trump has ordered the United States Space Force to discover other planets that have courts.

With his legal options on this planet dwindling, Trump is placing all of his hopes on identifying another planet that might have intergalactic jurisdiction over Earth.

On the heels of his Space Force announcement, astronomers expressed deep skepticism that a planet with a functioning legal system could be located before the Electoral College casts its votes on Monday.

But, in a sentiment shared by many Republicans, Senator Kelly Loeffler, of Georgia, said that she “totally supports” Trump’s decision to seek justice on another planet. “Let’s let the process play out,” she said.

It would be nice if Elon would get a rocket ready for them since they really need to pursue their options from the locale. hahahahahahahahaha

FWIW I’m not seeing this thing getting much play. They’ve already done this once. And the whole thing became tiresome long ago. I’m pretty sure everyone’s sick of writing about it. I know I would be. :grin:

Maybe he should stay local and take his temper tantrum to the World Court or the United Nations. That might get him his “Noble” Prize.

Makes me nervous—Elon’s rockets are too good at coming back and we don’t want that.

Funny but untrue, I’m sure.

more than 100 GOP members of Congress — and was baffled by how many had “jumped so quickly on a junk law suit.”
Because the GOP has lost its collective mind but the real issue is this act is in violation of the 14 Amendment, Section 3 and that should be addressed.

May I ask a question? Why wasn’t the SCOTUS ruling signed by the justices? I know they have the option of not signing a decision when they do not hear the case, but I would have thought the request, no matter how unjustified I thought it was, and the Court’s subsequent decision, had extraordinary significance. To ignore such importance and treat it as any “ordinary” request to the Supreme Court is only playing into the hands and nature of what I consider seditious State Attorney Generals and Republican members of Congress. Did they sign it and I missed it?

Can’t say I have not harbored this hope before, either.

The SCOTUS did the smart thing in denying based on a lack of standing. By not considering any argument connected to TX AG’s claims, there’s nothing that can be used for future cases. The attempt to change the law based on a fraudulent or false pretense would completely undermine the integrity of our system of gov’t.

" How do you feel when you hear people casually use the phrase “drink the Kool-Aid” – as in, “I drank the Kool-Aid. I love everything Lady Gaga does”?

It makes me shudder. I know it’s part of the culture now and I shouldn’t be so sensitive to it. But Jonestown was an important part of American history, and it’s been marginalized. We have to ask ourselves, why did 918 people leave this country and go with Jim Jones to Guyana? That’s a big question. Why did this group feel they’d rather live in a jungle than in San Francisco, Oakland, Atlanta, wherever they were living?"

Extreme comparison ? Maybe.
