Wisconsin plaintiffs drop lawsuit alleging widespread voter fraud just minutes before court hearing

Big shocker

It's nothing but a cash grab by Trump ... one last grift to pay off his debts.

Imagine the irony of poor ignorant rednecks giving what little money they have to a millionaire conman because they think he's going to fight for the little guy. Frankly I'm amazed they have the intellect to continuously breath in and out on a regular basis without asphyxiating.

The Wisconsin Elections Commission has said there's no evidence of any fraud or irregularity in the state's presidential election. Counties were expected to finish certifying the results this week. When their canvass is final, Trump has a one-day window to request a recount that he must pay for.


Emphasis added. I'll bet a dollar to a hole in a doughnut Trump doesn't request a recount.

how many of those who "donated" their money to trump will actually realize that trump pulled a con on them, and how long will they continue to give their money to this disgusting person?

Those two little words have caused witnesses to recant and lawyers to drop scurrilous claims. Judges (whether elected or appointed) take a dim view of the court's time being wasted. As a paralegal, I have been witness to some pretty intense tongue-lashings and contempt-of-court renderings, including attorneys being led out in handcuffs.

I can't think of any attorney (including the dubious ones) who would risk their law license for Chump. They have bills to pay and families to feed, and Donnie-boy won't come to their rescue. So, they collapse like a house of cards.

that's debatable - they like getting COVID, which tends to put a stop to the breathing thing.
