  Exhibit 3,857 from The Gang That Couldn't Sue Straight:

  https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2020/11/do-trumps-lawyers-know-what-they-are-doing.php?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=sw&utm_campaign=sw

  Trump's team <snort> Ha...ha...<guffaw>...they....har....oh I can't go on....

  They have submitted an affadavit from someone purportedly identifying "irregularities" from a series of precincts & towns in Michigan.

  Ooops, wait a minute...

  Here’s the problem: the townships and precincts listed in paragraphs 11 and 17 of the affidavit are not in Michigan. They are in Minnesota.

  Evidently a researcher, either Mr. Ramsland or someone working for him, was working with a database and confused “MI” for Minnesota with “MI” for Michigan. (The postal code for Minnesota is MN, while Michigan is MI, so one can see how this might happen.) So the affidavit, which addresses “anomalies and red flags” in Michigan, is based largely, and mistakenly, on data from Minnesota.

  This is a catastrophic error, the kind of thing that causes a legal position to crash and burn. Trump’s lawyers are fighting an uphill battle, to put it mildly, and confusing Michigan with Minnesota will at best make the hill steeper. Credibility once lost is hard to regain. Possibly Trump’s lawyers have already discovered this appalling error, and have undertaken to correct it. But the Ramsland Affidavit was filed in Georgia just yesterday.

  Oh my stars.

  I just...there aren't even words....

  Well maybe there is one. Rhymes with "Fustercluck".

  EDIT: Oh, one more thing.

  In anticipation of this site's resident geniuses either coming up with "Oh, you're quoting some liberal blog" or "well, they got the states mixed up but they still uncovered fraud":

  Powerline is a reliably pro-Trump site. They really believe fraud "must have" taken place. The article is bewailing the ineptitude (is that the understatement of the year?) of Trump's legal team.

  And, even though the author really believes there is fraud "somewhere out there", here is what he himself writes:

  A postscript: has Mr. Ramsland inadvertently stumbled across evidence of voter fraud in Minnesota? I seriously doubt it. The venues in question are all in red Greater Minnesota, not in the blue urban areas where voter fraud is common.

  Investigations of vote fraud don't go along at the pace you'd personally prefer.

  I'm not an attorney, nor do I play on TV, but I've seen enough episodes of "Law and Order" to understand that investigations are typically done prior to presenting a case in court.

  There have been 30+ court cases - if I were a judge, and one side's attorney said to me "I'd love to answer your question, your honor, but we're still investigating", I'd pitch that attorney out of court.

  As has been done 30+ times (and counting).
  
  

  Let the lawyers and judges do their jobs.

  They have been.

  All the opposing attorneys and judges say the exact same thing - "no evidence".

  Bloody hell, Trump's own lawyers admit that there was no fraud in some of the cases being tried for, erm, fraud.

  If you can point me to a specific particular case, and a judge who has agreed that there is indeed evidence worthy of consideration, by all means, provide me with a link. I'd love to read it.

  Here are the major claims that the Trump legal teams says they can back up

  Well, if they can back it up, why haven't they done so?

  Dozens - literally DOZENS of cases have been laughed out of court because The Gang That Couldn't Sue Straight can't back it up.

  Sigh....one more time:

  Allegations presented by sweaty, hair-dye-dripping attorneys in a press conference are, now follow me here, not really evidence.
  

  If there is evidence, produce in court. Otherwise, just shut up already.

  *Spoiler alert* There is no evidence.
  

  *Spoiler alert 2* If your case depends on tying voting machines to a South American dictator who's been dead for 7+ years....you might not have a very strong case.

  If the Supreme Court gets into this, which I think will happen

  What, exactly, is the Supreme court going to "get into"?

  Which case? Specifically? From which state?

  Which case has proceeded to actual judgment that can be reviewed by the SC?

  They're all getting thrown out of court or withdrawn by Trump's own team - there's not even any judgments to be reviewed.
  

  Not to mention, as I noted, earlier, Trump needs 3+ states to overturn their election results. 3+ states = 3+ SC cases.

  It's...not...going...to...happen.

  And then there is the real world, where you will get eaten alive before a judge if you can't demonstrate the truth of your accusations.

  Exactly.

  When the attorneys for Trump are pressed, and the choice is "lie before a judge to appease my client" and "retain my law license", well, option B wins every time.

  30+ court cases so far. Maybe a couple dozen invalid votes found. No evidence of even hundreds, let alone thousands, of "fraudulent" ballots.

  Let me repeat that for the guys in the back. NO EVIDENCE.

  Guys, guys, guys....it's over. If there were evidence of fraud it would have been presented by now.

  Poor Rudy....lost in PA.

  Team Trump has now lost 25 of 26* court cases.

  * The one they "won" resulted in a change of a few dozen votes, not remotely close enough effect a different result.

  Which of those 25 (& counting) are they going to "run to the supreme court"?

  How would that even work? Trump's team would have to present multiple cases since he'd need to get the SC to somehow reverse at least 37 EC votes - that's a minimum of 3 states.

  The Gang That Couldn't Sue Straight keeps getting laughed out of court after court after court after court....yet somehow, they're going to convince the SC to take on 3+ cases, and suddenly, at that very point, develop 3+ sound legal strategies and instantly hire competent lawyers?

  Guys...it's over. It's been over for 2 weeks. Biden won. The end. Time to move on.

  Oh man....stop...I can't breathe.....

  Now RUDY GIULIANI has petitioned to appear IN COURT on behalf of Trump in their PA election case.

  Last time Fruity G appeared in a courtroom as an attorney was during the George Bush administration.

  That's George Bush SR.

  PLEASE somebody videotape it.

  Oh my sides.....LOLOLOLOL

  ''Faith in Action'' video....Jesus Disciples depicted with ''field service bags'' and preaching with ''Scrolls''

  Sometimes, an image is just so, so, so over the top in its absurdity, it crosses the line to become almost charming.

  The image of Jesus' 1st century disciples walking about with "service bags", carrying scrolls from door to door, is one of those. Just so delightfully anachronistic.

  Another one is how the Watchtower keeps referring to the apostles Peter, Andrew, etc. having a "fishing business". As if there were so many career options for Galilean peasants in the first century.

  "So, Andrew, what do you think? Maybe we should get into middle management? Maybe we could start a small consulting business. I know someone who has started selling mutual funds, but maybe REITs would be a better option. Wait - I've got it! We'll start a commercial fishing enterprise!"

  "Peter, that's brilliant! I'll get started on the paperwork to initiate us as an LLC."

  Oh, does anyone remember the drama from several years back - one of the last "live action" convention dramas before "video killed the arm-waving star". It was about the 1st century Christians getting ready to flee Jerusalem. One of the scenes was (I $#!+ you not) a "congregation secretary" sitting at a table compiling a "field service report" and remarking about the "increased activity of the congregation" recently. Just so...so...bonkers.

  Just the PA lawsuit alone has enough comedic gold material for years.

  The PA suit was filed just one week ago.

  As of today. 11/16, they are on their 3rd set of lawyers.

  3rd! in 7 days!

  That 3rd set, Scaringi Law Firm, is apparently going to argue the case today with less than one day's preparation time.

  Oh, the attorney who is actually going to argue the case in front of the judge? Here's what he had to say last week:

  On his radio show on Nov 7, Scaringi said that "there really are no bombshells that are about to drop that will derail a Biden presidency including these lawsuits" and "the litigation will not work"

  And this is the guy who's going to litigate....today.

  Oh man, you can't make this stuff up! I'm dyin' here!

  50-60% isolate? Where? Concentration camps?

  Obese people, the elderly, and diabetics live where other people who are theoretically immune or not gravely affected (in your view) live also.

  Spell it out to me like I'm 5 years old....

  How do you get 50-60% of the population isolated? Where? Who feeds them? Who does the jobs that they do, that they will have to abandon while they "isolate"? Who pays their rent? Who drives them to the doctor?

  It's very easy to say "oh those guys should isolate"...but how does it work in real life?

  50-60% of the US population is like 170 million people...how do you get that number "isolated"?
