”…the ‘Kraken’ team — which included Trump-aligned lawyers Sidney Powell and Lin Wood…”

Sidney Powell et al have been profiting mightily off of this “Stop the Steal” nonsense. She had collected enough money to donate $550K to the Arizona fraudit. It is not enough to make them pay attorney fees. They have to disbarred and bankrupted.

…sought to overturn the 2020 election “scorned their oath, flouted the rules, and attempted to undermine the integrity of the judiciary…

Donald Trump, the former most powerful man in the world, is completely mystified that anyone would do anything like that.

And may it be directed at Trump appointed judges like the religious nutball in TX and the 6 partisan clowns in the SCOTUS who just pretended that the Federal Judiciary gets to take over immigration and foreign policy from a sitting POTUS.

DC needs to be made a state RIGHT FUCKING NOW.

… violations of the Michigan Election Code occurred… without bothering to figure out if Michigan law actually prohibited the acts described…

In Trumpland, it’s only about capturing the news cycle.

Any idiot can play, as long as she or he doesn’t eclipse the Supreme Idiot in Florida.

a “…haze of confusion…” That is their only weapon. They are stupid people who can’t argue facts so they argue via implication, instead. Dead-enders, whose lives they think (deep down) are worthless, so they latch onto imbeciles like Trump because they see him as their only other option.

Sorry, losers.
