Are they serious sending Rudy? At this point he is such a laughing stock it’s hard to believe Trump would send him anywhere.

Wonder if he’ll be sober when he gets there.

Who else do they have to send? You go to court with the lawyer you have, not the lawyer you wish you had.

Oh, all right: I did read the whole thing. But I could easily have stopped reading after seeing this:
Stepien went on to say that the campaign had sent the heavy artillery in the form of Rudy Giuliani to Philadelphia
(Y’all have basically used all the jokes I was going to make . . . )

Well Thor is a little busy dealing with MI to also deal with PA. He only has one mighty hammer, not two.

Reminder to All: JFK won the 1960 election with 303 Electoral College Votes. Even if Nixon had flipped Illinois’s 27 ECV, JFK still would have won with 276 ECV.
It’s a myth that Nixon decided not to contest Illinois to prevent chaos - the truth is that there was no point, since he couldn’t win the EC anyway.

Really looking forward to hearing a Philly Judge tell a ranting Giuliani, “Keep it in your pants, Rudy.”

Saw PA’s Democratic Lt. Governor Fetterman on a news segment this morning. He was asked something about possible bipartisan cooperation within PA on getting everyone’s vote counted:
“Oh give me a break!. The GOP legislators are who told us we couldn’t pre-canvass. 7am was the earliest we could start.”
In PA, there is clear evidence of the legislature’s intent that mailed votes not be processed and counted before election day, making it impossible to complete a count that day.

And here I was thinking that George Conway had convinced the missus to pipe down and stay home to help with child-repair duties… instead she insists upon embarrassing herself with the occasional public ejaculation of this sort. It’s a shame, really.

In Trump’s mind, it’s the same as covid testing. If you don’t test, there is no disease. If they don’t count the ballots, there is no blue wall.

Rudy Giuliani = “heavy artillery”. 
“…to Philadelphia as part of a bid to stop Gov. Tom Wolf (D) from sending “magical ballots” to presumably corrupt the election.”
Giuliani is the magical elf who will stop the “magical ballots”. Oh, God, if we don’t take the Senate, at least we get to watch the GOP fail and fail again. That’s something, right?

Or perhaps, “Bailiff, remove this drunk from the courtroom.”
