"Plaintiffs will be best served if Porter Wright withdraws." Interpretation - this law suit is a complete bollocks and the reputational damage done to the law firm will last longer than the stench of the desperation coming out of the Trump White House...
At this stage no lawyer should touch this with a barge pole. It is an egregious use of the courts to calm a giant babies ego.
Porter Wright jumps ship from Trump campaign defence in its nonsense federal suit in Pennsylvania

Rats in a drowning High Street! Genius.
Just a shame it does not have Cain and Cummings swimming away from the shit show they have created.
There is so much to unpick here...

Funny, but it is so true it is depressing in equal measure!

And we must not forget those like McTurtle who enabled the con cause power - they love the dividing line - it makes them money. It is exactly the same over here with Brexit. The conned cannot except that they made an error in judgement on Brexit, and worse, voting in BoJo and his cabal of far right male pale and stale nasty fuckers to somehow make a success of Brexit. 33 working days to go. No deal on the table. Highest death rate in Europe. So much winning, and so surprise! the rats are deserting the sinking ship - which is bloody marvellous, but far to late for the many thousands who have died unnecessarily because of a campaigning government, rather than a ruling one. Sounds familiar right?!?! Heh.

Of course, Cummings (the lying architect of Brexit) has done what he came to do... cause havoc and ensure a no deal Brexit because he is a very privileged libertarian wanker, who will not be affected by the economic hardship and the disarray he has ensured people and businesses will face because of his year in Number 10. Bolting out of Downing Street before his unaccountable incompetence is firmly on display in January. Number 10 is just like the White House right now - except unfortunately for us we don't have an election for four more years.
It's between those who saw the con early and those who still don't see it.

All of this. It is a long read at the link but worth every minute of you time.
Activism isn't only about anger. Joy is also an act of resistance.

It will take time, and it will be hard. But right now, it feels like there might be time. The US is never going back to normal, and that’s OK. What passed for normality in the US for two centuries always came at too high a cost. The old and white and rich and mean and scared still cling to the delusion that anyone else’s happiness is an existential threat. It isn’t, but for as long as that confusion lasts, joy is an act of resistance.

Surprise! Hypocrisy and duplicity 101. They have no shame.
It's almost like they don't believe any of their literal arguments at all...
https://twitter.com/ezraklein/status/1326625635012276225 It's almost like they don't believe any of their literal arguments at all, and the truth of this whole situation is election results are reliable when Republicans win, and illegitimate otherwise.
Surprise! Hypocrisy and duplicity 101. They have no shame.

A whole generation of young women are seeing a woman as VP
A whole generation of young women of colour are seeing them reflected in the VPs office.
About time I say and also isn't this girl a cutie?
Stirring, uplifting, inspiring and just too damned cute...

Now, with Biden kicking the Great Orange Jabba out of White House...
... you do realise we now have the shittiest leader in the Western world, right?
While pleased for our cousins across the pond that they are about to push Biden over the line, we have now lost the line, well at least he is not Trump. There are literally no downward comparisons left.
