Opinion: Courts hand Donald Trump loss after loss after loss

[LetMyPeopleVote]

TFG has been losing a great number of lawsuits lately. This is in part due to the fact that TFG is wrong on the issues and in part because no decent law firm or top lawyer will represent him.

Donald Trump is often his own worst enemy. But sometimes, he gets competition from his lawyers.

Perhaps no better example of that can be found than in Wednesday’s order from the Supreme Court, which summarily rejected the former president’s “emergency” request to block, on grounds of executive privilege, the release of documents to the select House committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol.

The court’s decision was a brutal, and personally stinging, loss for Trump. And the arguments his own lawyers advanced may have made the defeat worse.

Trump lost the case in virtually record time. He sued the committee and the National Archives on Oct. 18, lost in the district court on Nov. 9, lost in the court of appeals on Dec. 9 and lost in the Supreme Court on Jan. 19. And so, today, the Jan. 6 committee has hundreds of documents Trump desperately wanted kept under wraps.

As George Conway notes, it is hard to lose a case that swiftly. TFG's counsel advanced some truly stupid arguments and the result is a major legal defeat in record time

1. If the Pig would have just stuck to his usual scams, grifting and frauds he probably wouldn't...

be in this position. But no, he had to run for President to have a go at bigger scams. He screwed himself.

3. The

arrogant jerkoff never stops conning, lying and cheating. Sure be nice to see him finally fall flat on his face. People will be dancing in the streets if he gets his ass thrown in jail. Likely won’t happen, but it’s fun to think about it.
