I’ve been struggling to articulate why, to me, this is so funny
There’s the diminutive desk, its tinyness exaggerated by the camera, the dominating presence of the ungainly mic stand, the expanse of empty, barren, mussed carpet that looks like it’s already experienced his impending eviction, the Christmas tree, present but unadorned ....
Like they obviously took all the nice furniture out of this room. You can see that from the carpet. And then replaced it with a glorified tv tray and and a bare fir tree??
and this is how he used it

PA Supreme Court says adios to the Trumpy commonwealth court judge. Image
"It is beyond cavil that Petitioners failed to act with due diligence in presenting the instant claim. Equally clear is the substantial prejudice [that] would result in the disenfranchisement of millions of
Pennsylvania voters."
Concurrence: "There is no basis in law by which the courts may grant Petitioners’ request to ignore the results of an election and recommit the choice to the General Assembly to substitute its preferred slate of electors for the one chosen by a majority of Pennsylvania’s voters."

"Investigators found that Cardlytics’ chief executive at the time, Scott Grimes, sent Mr. Perdue a personal email two days before the senator’s stock sale that made a vague mention of “upcoming changes.”" nytimes.com/2020/11/25/us/…
"The timing of the message prompted additional scrutiny from investigators in both Washington and Atlanta. But ultimately they concluded the exchange contained no meaningful nonpublic information and declined to pursue charges, closing the case this summer."

Republican lawyers challenging this election are extremely committed to not knowing what a declaratory judgment is.

(In this case they’re seeking to avert Minnesota’s certification, which is scheduled to happen today.) democracydocket.com/wp-content/upl… Image
If, say, you and I have a contract and we have come to disagree about the meaning of a provision in it, either of us can go to court and ask a judge to decide upfront what it means (w/o waiting for an alleged breach and damages to accrue). That’s what a declaratory judgment is.
Correx: It’s Wisconsin’s certification they’re challenging and that’s expected today, not Minnesota’s. I got flummoxed. My apologies.

This is retconned BS.
As a for instance, before the election, Trump denigrated mail voting to his supporters, a Trump goon sabotaged the postal service, the PA legislature forbid precanvassing mail ballots (so they wouldn’t appear in election night tabulations of the vote), ...
the PA GOP sued to throw out late-arriving mail ballots, and Trump was reported to be planning to declare victory based on the strength of the same-day vote and then to sue to stop Biden from overtaking him in mail ballots. axios.com/trump-claim-el…

If you're looking for a copy of the Presidential Transition Act of 1963, pls see here: gsa.gov/cdnstatic/Pres…

If you're looking for where it's actually codified in the US Code, pls ask someone else.
A notable thing about this letter, one that may rear its head again, is @GSAEmily skips over the 'ascertainment' part where she determines Biden and Harris are the "apparent successful candidates."

Instead, she jumps ahead to determining that they "may access the resources."
"I came to my decision independently," Director Murphy wrote.

At almost the same her letter became public, Trump tweeted that he had suggested she take these steps.
