Trump’s Paranoid, Fact-Free, Anti-Democracy Id Gets Its Day in Court | Talking Points Memo

Mark Aronchick, who is representing some of the defendant county officials, called Giuliani’s claims “disgraceful” and “ridiculous.”
I looked everywhere for the phrase “hissy fit” and did not find it.

I legitimately think it is just a matter of time before Giuliani shits his pants on live TV.

“This is an outrage, your honor, to do this to people,” Giuliani said, while lobbing baseless claims about Philadelphia not being an “honest” place and about a Democratic “machine” that had colluded against the President’s supporters.

Woody Allen’s original was a lot better than this remake.

Mock away at your peril.

Rudy’s prepared to take this all the way to the Supreme Racquetball Court and Goofy Golf Funland!

At some point, don’t people like Guliani need to get a note from their doctor? For example, if he’s taking certain medications, with certain side effects, don’t people need to know if some of those side effects include things like being delusional, ought not operate machinery, etc?

I knew this was going to be good. Need more popcorn, please. Wonder what Giuliani is going to do when the judge throws the case out? If he rants at the judge, I hope he gets his law license revoked. This is just another Trumpy shit show.

At what point does this whole exercise become frivolous, or show contempt for the intelligence of the court?

"Giuliani ranted at length about the “cages” poll watchers were allegedly kept in."

Of course he did. Only immigrant children may be kept in cages.
