    It Had To Be Seen To Be Believed
    The Giuliani/Powell press conference yesterday was the most bizarre press conference in the history of the US.

    From a forehead dripping with black hair dye and streaming down his face, things just got bizarre-er and bizarre-er as only FOX-News ran it the entire 90 minutes without interruption. The mainstream media quickly dropped it as it became nuttier and nuttier.

    Sydney Powells' weird charges of "Communistic" (sic) influence stemming from Hugo Chavez (Chavez died 6 years ago!) to even weirder presidential vote tallies being counted in servers in Germany and Spain (servers now conveniently disappeared) and culminating by Giuliani admitting he had no evidence "at this time" because (hold on to your hat) the press conference was like an opening statement in a courtroom trial. The evidence comes later.

    Therefore, Rudy concluded, the election has to be discarded because gathering the evidence cannot be finished by the date of certification or when the electors vote. (Yes, he really said that, or something very like it).

    For skeptics, I've linked the Washington Post fact checker below for more details of this presser as Giuliani and Powell sink deeper and deeper into a morass of their own devising.

    Nothing like a really definitive statement. Either he really said it, or he said something like it, but both are not true.

    You've seen all of them? Wow.

    The courts will sort all of this out.

    for the record . I put no credence to so called fact checkers "facts " ;especially from the Compost .

    They do not have to present their evidence to the public. They are going to make their case to the judiciary .

    Time is running out . Once states start certifying results then at best they are presenting evidence for electoral reform .

    Then you will remain ignorant. That is the usual condition of Trump supporters.

    Then what was the point of their press conference? To look foolish?

    They tried that. At last count, they are 0 and 20.

    They don't have a clue what they're doing. For his idiocy, Rudy is billing Trump $20,000 a day. Not a chance in hell Trump will pay it. What he WILL do is charge it against his campaign expense - those monies donated by his followers for campaign expenses, NOT for Trump's legal expenses. Some people never learn. Trump calls them "SUCKERS".

    That must be why I'm getting calls from Republican (???) telemarketers to donate money in order to defray Trump's campaign expenses.

    Hopefully this clown show from RNC HQ is the winding down of this sham/farce/hustle. The dufus withdrew his Michigan lawsuits, and is focused on Michigan GOP lawmakers.

    We should all be mindful of the shock and trauma associated with DWS...dufus withdrawal symptom and be especially sympathetic to its sufferers.

    That's what Dr. Phil is about today, in particular getting through the holidays with family members who don't agree politically.

    Yes, use Skype or Zoom or other meeting rooms to chat with family members who are each at their own homes, munching on turkey legs and stuffing and broccoli and buttered rolls.

    The ultimate in plausible deniability.

    If Athos wants to post that info, then fine, but posting it as though it is anything more than a great big "maybe" is what I object to. It is pure speculation spurred on by the ever famous Unnamed Source.
