BEAUTIFUL: Trump campaign will have to pay Pennsylvania's costs for appeal THEY LOST!

a beautiful end to the third circuit docket sheet -- the Trump campaign will have to pay Pennsylvania's costs for the appeal

just to clarify--this is appellate court costs, not attorneys' fees. In the US, each party usually pays its own attorneys. Still, absent some unforeseen intervention by SCOTUS, I strongly suspect the district court will order the campaign to pay the other parties' fees too.

Why Biden’s Big Popular Vote Win Didn’t Help Down-Ballot
November 27, 2020 at 1:31 pm EST By Taegan Goddard 77 Comments

Ron Brownstein: “While Bill Clinton twice won about 1,500 counties (roughly half the counties in America), Hillary Clinton carried just less than 500 (roughly one-sixth). Though Biden won the popular vote by at least 3 million more votes than she did, he only slightly expanded her geographic reach: So far, he’s carried 509 counties, based on the latest count from the Brookings Institution’s Metropolitan Policy Program.”

Greg Sargent: “Why did Democrats bleed House seats? A top analyst offers surprising answers.”

Trump Loses Pennsylvania Again
November 27, 2020

“A federal appeals court on Friday handed another loss to the Trump campaign’s effort to undo President-elect Joe Biden’s win in Pennsylvania, with a judge — one of Trump’s nominees — writing that the campaign’s ‘claims have no merit,'” BuzzFeed News reports.

“In a 3-0 decision, the US Court of Appeals for the 3rd Circuit rejected the campaign’s effort to get a do-over of its lawsuit challenging the election results in Pennsylvania, which a lower court had already tossed out last week.”

Axios: “It’s another devastating blow to President Trump’s sinking efforts to overturn the results of the election.”

Rick Hasen: “This is an utter repudiation of the Trump campaign’s ridiculous lawsuit by three Republican-appointed judges.”

“It shows the absurdity of the litigation: besides the fact that the case was poorly lawyered — Rudy Giuliani’s oral argument was the worst I have heard in 25 years of following election law cases.”

Just some nurses talking with the president (elect)

Joe and Jill Biden calling the ICU nurses in Muskegon to offer what they can to do to help and thank them for their service.

It's really kind of a decent, human thing to do.

So unlike the asshole.

I will just repost it.

The video is from FB through one of my wife's friends. (Not a commercially produced piece. Just some nurses talking with the president (elect):

Smack on the side of the Orange One's face

@realDonaldTrump
Just saw the vote tabulations. There is NO WAY Biden got 80,000,000 votes!!! This was a 100% RIGGED ELECTION.


The second sentence is partially true: Biden's actually up to 80,218,808 votes now, per
@CookPolitical's tracker.

Rude Pundit response to scotus is right on point.

Sincerely at the point where I'm like "You wanna stand around a building and sing while everyone sprays you with their spit because you think an invisible sky wizard will protect you, you go right ahead. Just don't be offended when I tell you to get the fuck away from me."

(apologies to those who honor above mentioned "sky wizard&quot

"This guy's gonna have GOP wrapped around his finger for 4 yrs? Please-The show is on its last leg"

From: Margaret Carlson

I won’t be tempted by stories about any Trump offspring running for office because there won’t be any.

To those worried we will never rid ourselves of Trump, watch as he shrinks before our very eyes in a Washington minute from leader of the free world to a broken-down real estate developer up to his ears in debt. On Monday, Trump was just another dumpy 74-year-old man wheeling around the golf course in a motorized cart wondering how long it would be until his next cheeseburger.
