ok so a few things here

one, this is a masterful fisking and you should spend 20 minutes on the whole thing. really. and if I can’t believe I made it through the whole thread imagine reading this entire suit to create the thread
two, sidney powell should be told if she appears in court the judge will pull a lever opening a trap door that will dump her down a half mile shaft into a decommissioned sulphur mine
and three, this suit is as bad as it is in all aspects because it does not exist to serve a legal function. it exists to create ten years of content for the internet maniacs who exist in the sidney powell universe
this suit is the equivalent of disney dumping ten dozen new full-length marvel and star wars movies onto disney plus in a single day. it’s content overload for the sake of creating a nonstop discussion of content
that it is legally incoherent and legally indistinguishable from having diarrhea in zero gravity is entirely irrelevant to the legion of nuts who just love posting snippets of “legal documents” containing new characters and plotlines to fuel the conspiracy ecosystem
so don’t fall into the trap of asking why the trump campaign would embarrass themselves. they have no capacity for embarrassment. the only objective here is to keep the alt-realitists busy for as long as possible chasing down every bizarre character & plot point
the alt-realitists are fairly described as many different things but above all they share one overarching taxonomic family - they are fictional universe nerds. complete and total fuckin fictional universe nerds, and not the harmless & fun kind of fictional universe nerds
unlike harmless & fun fictional universe nerds (d&d, anime, star wars, comics, harry potter, whatever, you name it), the alt-realists live in the same timeline as the fiction. which means the fiction must constantly be replenished as real life events necessitate new storylines
trump losing is a huge problem for the fuel tank of this universe, because the very concept in and of itself is already in violation of the primary narrative thread that’s sustained the fictional universe. it’s a collapsing neutron star at the core of the whole ecosystem.
because the alt-realitists have demonstrated they can convey political power in the real world, having command of them is a valuable political asset. so they must be fed copious amounts of bullshit in the hopes of maintaining the ecosystem in the face of an out-of-power trump
they could feed themselves as long as trump stayed in office but with him gone, this valuable political asset is liable to decay into uselessness. so the new responsibility of the sidney powells of the world is to shovel bushels & bushels of chum into the hopper to keep them fed
conspiracists don’t struggle with plotlines getting blown up by reality because they can just recreate new, larger conspiracies out of the rubble to patch them back together. but where the alt-realitists are different is because they are nerds they actually love the exercise
the only way they stop having fun with it is if the content mine runs dry, at which point they start running on fumes & getting bored. so the new content is pivotal to keeping the nerd gang together spotting easter eggs & arguing over what kind of web shooters spider man has
for what it’s worth I don’t think this approach will actually work, for reasons I’ve gotten into before. primarily, the problem is not having power is ultimately lethal to cults of power. it just doesn’t work. but they’re gonna give it the ol college try

if you aren’t a total sicko like me and haven’t been septic tank diving in alt-realitist twitter you’ll be surprised to learn they wrote about a bazillion all caps HUGE tweets over this & were entirely convinced this was the big one
this suit was the equivalent of voting yes on an HOA bylaw to allow neon colored mailboxes and waiting a year for your neighbor to paint their mailbox hot pink and filing a grievance a month after they painted it

they’re free to leave the church at any time. there’s no shunning. no exit fees. no earthly consequences at all. the teachings are available in many forms both online & in print.
“I’m catholic but mainly for the right to bitch on the internet”
personally, if the tradcaths simply gotta tradcath, I’d rather they shut the fuck up & leave already.

here comes the dipshit brigade exclaiming AHA PERFECT JUST COMPLETELY PULVERIZED IN COURT AGAIN SCOTUS HERE WE COME
here’s an interesting prognostication. it’s self-evident this has zero point zero zero chance of going to SCOTUS and yet the MAGA lunatics are absolutely convinced it is. this obvious reality juncture supplies a clear opportunity to predict the next antagonist in their plotline

the president is doing great why do you ask
well as long as we’re on the subject this article on randy quaid is one of my favorite ever written, I’ll post some highlights since it’s long vanityfair.com/news/2011/01/q…
so the thing to realize is these two are a pair of mentally ill grifters who alternate between hilarious and terrifying

beyond that he built a team of competent pros who didn’t leak a single goddamn thing off-message and had an entire closet full of legal assets quietly primed to crush it in court
incredibly under the radar that joe biden has run a textbook perfect campaign & transition that hasn’t had a single misstep since south carolina
every single day was a new UH OH HOW WILL BIDEN POSSIBLY SURVIVE THIS IMPOSSIBLE TRAP and every single day he cruised right by it and at no point did anyone even notice?
