Not just lying to his readers about COVID anymore!
Less than an hour later! But he knows Trump can't get more votes in Arizona or Georgia, the point is to contribute to Trump's campaign to delegitimize the results
I had forgotten this, but yes! Truly an all-purpose troofer
Impressive grift to be more partisan than Karl Rove:

"Justice Alito, this is an Arby's." nbcnews.com/think/opinion/…
Really, just awesome that someone who uses "scientific expertise" as a pejorative and very erroneously thinks that Plan B "destroy[s] an embryo after fertilization" is about to vote to eliminate the reproductive rights of American women. What a country. Image
And what we REALLY need now is for lawyers who think "expertise" is a punchline to kneecap our already inadequate COVID response. Just great. Image

My theory is that the GA runoff is more a pretext for Republican leaders supporting Trump's delegitimizing efforts than a cause
It's really far from self-evident that Trump refuse to concede is a NET mobilization benefit, and the longer he carries on with it the less obvious it becomes. Nobody knows, especially given the uncertainty of how it will play out.
GOP elites are choosing to believe that going along with Trump's electoral theft tactics will help the win the runoffs because they instinctively support them, but putting it in terms of Machiavellian electoral strategy makes is sound more respectable to political reporters

Worth pointing out again that the narrative that the election was a nail-biter was created by Jones Day's scumbag client the PA Republican Party, who at the behest of the Trump administration refused to allow counties to start counting mail-in votes early
And not that there is NO other reason for not allowing early counts except to create an election theft narrative. Florida, an orthodox Republican vote suppression state, counts its mail in ballots as they arrive.
This was 100% pure ratfucking and any lawyers working with the PA GOP are accessories after the fact and deserve professional ostracism

Meet Steven Grasz, the Trump stooge who was one of the two judges who produced (but had enough residual shame to refuse to put their names on) yesterday's lawless 8 CA last-minute election theft ruling civilrights.org/resource/oppos…
How atrocious was this ruling? My colleague Paul explains, and he doesn't even get to all of the ways in which it is indefensible! lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2020/10/purge-…
1)Despite the assertions by the court that is standing up for the prerogatives of the Minnesota state legislature, literally nobody representing the state government is objecting to the consent decree to count the votes:

Not only is the theory that giving powers to the legislature preempts judicial or executive interpretation of their enactments abject idiocy nobody argues in any other context, changing the rules 4 1/2 days before an election is indefensible
In my view, the theory that in election law giving power to the legislature preempts judicial and executive action is extremely stupid. But more to the point IT'S NOT THE LAW. 8CA GROSSLY abused its authority to try to steal an election. lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2020/10/8th-ci…
The main source for Republican judges deciding voting rights cases appears to the the jurisprudence of Nicky Santoro

Writers from all points of view from contrarian libertarian to Trump lackey can come together and agree that applying editorial standards [to attempted smear jobs of Democratic candidates] is censorship
And...scene.
The comedy keeps escalating
