he's not rich not well liked, or has the connections they do. It can't be stated enough, the new york ag ran on prosecuting him, least of all tearing down his business.

And don't forget his loving bank is talking about collecting the collateral of his loans due to issue of payment

LOLOLOL, hoooooooly poo poo those two chuds on the board folded so loving fast when their names would have been plastered all over the national news for screwing with the election. Although a lot of the damage is already done, too, I mean everyone still knows what they were going to do.

They're certifying now but also calling for an audit later? That seems out of order.

I take it to be a face saving compromise. There was apparently an open public comment period that began following the decision and after about 2 hours of that, this is what they came up with.

Trump and Co's cunning plans are now aborting so fast that there's a chance causality will break down at some point and they'll collapse before they begin.

Hey now, taking standardized tests in a windowless middle school bunker with a giant earthen rampart to protect it from tornadoes is the quintessential midwestern student experience. Why shouldn't voters have to do it too?

I certainly hope you are both right. I've also come over to the belief that there's no such thing as a "smart" Trump. His dumbness and grievance is the point, and his followers don't care about the Wall being built, they care about screaming about it at rallies and on Twitter. Ted Cruz/Tom Cotton will never win them over.

Trump, even before the Presidency, seems to have unlocked the "One Weird Trick" to business and politics, which is if you are willing to file frivolous lawsuits and gum things up in the courts for long enough, you can get a away with a lot of things. I honestly don't know how that is remotely affordable, but maybe that's why he's hundreds of millions of dollars in debt.

It works in business because normal people and companies have limited time, energy, and money to deal with a bunch of lawsuits and so eventually they say "gently caress it" and just come to some sort of a settlement rather than deal with the bullshit anymore. It isn't going to work in this context because the courts are ripping through these cases very quickly since they don't want to deal with this circus at all, and also there is no point where you are going to annoy the federal government to the point where they just throw up their hands and say "FINE, you can just have the presidency if you stop being a bother"

At this point I'm fairly convinced he ends up like Ken Lay, convicted but he conveniently dies before the final appeal so he's *technically* innocent and the family escapes further scrutiny.

It was so blatant and obvious that basically everyone one both sides went "Jesus christ guys". They had zero cover.

They basically made it indefensible, especially with the whole "Well of you exclude Detroit we are all good".

Just watch this, he does a good lay up of how 1000% garbage their claims are and how its hilariously obvious.

You've got to be trolling, right?

Fort Wayne is in Indiana.

Wayne County is the county that holds Detroit.

In Michigan.

I'd be very skeptical about any GA polls, Nov 3rd was the highest turnout election in GA history, but special elections usually have even lower turnout than midterms. How are you going to do a likely voter screen when basically the entire state voted two weeks ago?
