Deny, deny, deny.
Anyone else remember the movie “A Guide for the Married Man”?

What if RBG had lived another few months?
That would rock the strongest of us to imagine the potential.
The important thing we can do is to focus and grab that which just may be possible to control: our vote this November in the most important election in our lives.

Where did they “admit” to anything? Or are you just making shit up for the sake of rhetoric?

It’s a simple denial of the applicable mens rea, which in this instance is referred to as having “knowingly” done the actus reus. In somewhat plainer terms, he’s saying his client was just a dipshit.

“impropriety” ???
And the Civil War was “the late unpleasantness”.

They’ve almost certainly gotten away with smaller illegalities for decades, from buying their way out of speeding tickets with one of those “support the police” stickers to padding expense accounts to just happening to make decisions in favor or people who take them to dinner or go to the same country club. So this whole bright-line “that’s against the law” thing has never really been a factor in their lives.

More or less, I plagiarized you in my second post (re: “why Trump?”).

Maggio did not respond to CNN’s request for comment. Instead, the data firm he works for, SullivanStrickler, which court documents show was hired by Powell, said in a statement to CNN that it was “directed by attorneys to contact county election officials to obtain access to certain data” in Georgia and also “directed by attorneys to distribute that data to certain individuals.”

Well, the Trumpers are right: voter fraud is a thing, and the machines can be broken into.

So if an attorney tells you to break the law, it’s OK.
(I know, sometimes it is, but this is likely not one of those times.)

Oh, I’m not thinking so much of his prospects with the ladies. I’m wondering if he can function in society as anything other than a semiprofessional wingnut.
BTW take a look at the art in the ProPublica piece on Montana. Haven’t seen such a thing before and hope never to again.

Trump’s menace and damage after his Madministration rivals what he did as actual POTUS.
His injection of voting (a necessity in a Democracy) being highly susceptible to corrupt individuals and processes is harmful to what drives our sense of Democracy and freedom…something we have taken for granted.

Is it true Trump won the county where those machines are located with 70% of the vote? I guess she was expecting 100% - so the machines must be rigged.

You two seem to forget that Trumpism isn’t just a political movement, it’s a religious movement. Add in that Trumpers like to be around other Trumpers. And when Trump declared that there was no way in Hell that he lost the election they believed him.
And these people don’t understand computers, and here we are. Those that have a job that entails holding elections, running the process of elections, and yet they went looking for the how Trump didn’t win. Some of these people have experience with elections, they probably ran through the steps that they had used in other elections, and couldn’t see the “how the election” was stolen.
So the only thing left is the computer systems.
I’m going to liken this to the student loan fiasco. The kids signing the papers had it explained to them, but they really didn’t understand the system that would keep them paying a Hell of a lot of money over the amount they borrowed, for decades.

This particular bunch geniuses lied - and continue to lie - loud and often in public. That’s their fust 'menment right, of course. But it seems that the cat got their respective tongues once they got to court. Even bad lawyers know when to shut up.

Fountain Pens: There is a rabbit-hole collection hobby. “My vintage Parkers and Crosses are in this drawer. My Schaeffers are in that drawer. My vacuum fillers, except for the Schaeffers are over here. My Pelikans are here, along with my non-Pelikan piston fillers. Lamy pens are over there, except the Lamy 2000 which is with the other piston-fillers…”

The Right is far more interested in fighting, conflict and division. They are also more comfortable with it.
Government to them revolves around talking points and resentments. That’s why the upcoming election is so important. It is to save Democracy but it is also to enable us to GOVERN like adults in a Democracy.
The latter section of this post says nothing about hating or resenting anybody. We just wish to accomplish and serve.
Now–aside from the anger over Dobbs–can we generate MORE interest as voters in accomplishment than the Right’s interest in hate and fighting?
