... Leading the president’s legal team, meanwhile, is former New York mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani, a man who has, shall we say, lost some pop from his fastball. Given four days to bolster allegations of widespread voter fraud in Pennsylvania, Giuliani summoned the press to a parking lot in a rough part of Philadelphia and unveiled a star witness: a gadfly and convicted sex offender who neither lives, nor works, nor votes in the state. Oops! Team Trump lodged an 86-page lawsuit two days later. Despite more padding than an overstuffed sofa, the suit advanced the case not a whit ...

... maybe this is his very best. The Trump administration and campaign have not been notably friendly to distinguished people. Generals, executives, lawmakers and physicians have come and gone, often amid a hailstorm of hostile tweets. Defense Secretary Mark T. Esper is only the latest to have his service repaid with a public mugging ...

... The folks who persist in the president’s inner circle are not exactly Baker-esque. Campaign senior adviser Jason Miller, for example, has pledged to fight to the bitter end to overturn the election results. ... The man knows his way around a courthouse. When he and a former mistress were fighting over custody of their out-of-wedlock child, Miller sued a website for reporting the mistress’s allegation that he mixed an abortion drug into a smoothie and gave it to a stripper whom he had impregnated. He lost that lawsuit, but only after giving a deposition in which he acknowledged his history of hiring prostitutes ...

What it lacks in gravitas, the Trump team makes up for in grift. Stephen K. Bannon and Brian Kolfage — both under indictment for allegedly defrauding donors who wanted to help Trump build his wall — rushed to raise new money that would supposedly aid the election challenge. Facebook moved to shut them down. Instead of “count legal votes,” the motto of Trump’s effort should be “Click Here to Donate.” Even on Trump’s own site, the fine print admits that donors’ money will be siphoned off for other purposes ...

1. Trump's never had an A Team

I’d forgotten about Miller’s history. Yikes.

2. The danger of the lazy lying steaming pile Hump

is he showed a smarter dictator that taking control of America can be done.

It is important to keep voting in EVERY election. GOTV, forever to protect the United States.

4. Priorities: 1) Covid, 2) Electoral Reform, 3) object lesson by prosecutions of tRump regime

... in that order.

tRump and his Gang must be prosecuted so that there is a lesson to point to.

When Nixon was not prosecuted, the US democracy lost strength because people like tRump (and his mentor Roy Cohn) felt they could get away with everything up to murder (and in 2020 including wilfully negligent homicide of tens of thousands).

3. Also, the reversal of the USPS inspector. Plus tRump suits losing 0-12. . . . nt

5. When you have a cult that believes every lie you tell, you don't need anything else.

But, yeah. This is the best he can do, otherwise. He has lied and grifted and stiffed people so much that most reputable lawyers and professionals want little, if anything to do with him.
