SCOTUS Delivers One Last Death Knell To Trump’s Bogus Election Gambit

Welp.

He thought the SC would support him because he appointed radicals.

It goes to show that all of these are in on the conspiracy to deny Spanky his rightful victory–a right-wing-dominated SC, proven vote suppressor Brian Kemp in Georgia, along with others in AZ, MI, PA, etc.
This, in effect, is what the current advocates of the Big Lie are saying. They should all be in jail.

Not even English!
“SCOTUS Delivers One Last Death Knell To…”
Hey, it’s Monday morning, but that makes no sense.
… Ms. Cabrera, try “SCOTUS delivers a death blow to…”
Also: please look up the definition of ‘knell’.

There is a slightly different meaning for the word, one that comes from the way it is used in “Macbeth.” The headline uses it in that fashion, whether deliberate or not.

Trump’s mistake was that all of his election lawsuits should have been presented as religious liberty claims.

Issue 1: By counting mail-in votes, the State of Pennsylvania denied Due Process and Equal Protection to Jebus-loving Americans who went to the polls maskless on Election Day.

Issue 2: In acting to accommodate the preferences of godless heathen constituencies in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, the State of Pennsylvania violated the Establishment and Free Exercise rights of the Jebus-Americans whose firmly-established religious belief is that they are required to cough in the faces of the heathens.

Issue 3: Casting electoral votes for Joseph R. Biden is an affront to God-Emperor Trump, and therefore denies Free Exercise to his adherents.

Etc. Justice Handmaid’s Tale would be all over that shit.

I did. It refers to the ringing of a bell marking a person’s death. That seems perfectly appropriate to the story here.

Actually I think he did win ONE of those suits, which let his representatives stand closer to a table where the votes were counted in the keystone state.

So all this sturm und drang really amounted to was six feet in Pennsylvania.

What a great book title on the 2020 election.
Hank the Trumphole used to tout the accomplishments of the Fat Loser. Now I have the perfect rejoinder.

"Six Feet in Pennsylvania "

I think “one last knell” might have been fine, per your comparison to the usage in Macbeth, but … “one last death knell”?

Actually, they should all be in re-education camps in San Francisco run by Nancy, Stacy Abrams, and Dr. Suess, where they’ll be forced to drink lattes, wear blue masks, and watch PBS.
