President Donald Trump’s campaign filed a lawsuit Tuesday in Wisconsin seeking to invalidate President-elect Joe Biden’s win there, the latest long-shot court battle aimed at overturning the presidential election.

The suit asks the Wisconsin Supreme Court to disqualify more than 221,000 ballots in the state’s two most Democratic counties. Biden won the state by nearly 20,700 votes.

It asks the court to order Democratic Gov. Tony Evers and the state’s elections commission to exclude swaths of absentee ballots, which the campaign asserts are “illegal.”

The plaintiffs, who include the campaign, the president himself and Vice President Mike Pence, ask the court to block the certification of the presidential election until those ballots are cut from the final vote tally.

$25,000 they spend on lawsuits they take in $1,000,000 from their gullible fools hoping for a miracle.

Let's see, seed money for Donny's new TV network?

Or how about overdue payments to the Russian mafia and other debts coming due up his exit from the WH?

Oh wait, how about legal defense money for those pesky NY problems that await the Tangerine Grifter?

Lately when I meet up with right wing nutters in real life and in the electrons I just ask him if they gave any money to Donald Trump or their campaign.

If they say no I tell them that’s all I have to say to them because they obviously don’t step up for their good friends when they really need them.

Everybody knows Donald Junior needs more money - who hasn’t gotten those emails?

Vlad created this presidency, left him on his own, and didn't meddle four years later. Putin is like a deadbeat dad.

"Deadbeat Vlad"?
