Sidney Powell Warns Of 'Flock Of Cats' In Sanctions Appeal. Also Mob Violence
Very on-brand.

The Kraken is back, baby, and it is … quacking?

If you see a flock of feathered animals quacking as they waddle towards a lake, you can reasonably infer that they are ducks, even if not all are clearly discernible. Sure, there might be a goose or a chicken in there somewhere, but it is certainly rational and proper to suggest that, after closer examination and further inquiry, those might be ducks after all. What is not rational and proper is to focus on the one or two animals that are not clearly identifiable, ignore the rest, and conclude it’s a flock of cats—and no one could possibly think otherwise.

This barnyard analogy appears in an appeal to the Sixth Circuit of the sanctions imposed last year on attorney Sidney Powell and her merry band of Kraken lawyers in the Michigan tentacle of their election LOLsuits. In August of 2021, US District Judge Linda V. Parker ordered them to go to continuing legal education and pay attorneys fees to various Michigan government entities. Among other barnyard epithets, their sins included attaching facially nonsensical affidavits cribbed from other election suits without vetting them at all. The above analogy was by way of arguing that some of the affidavits were true, and so the court was wrong to sanction them for the few lying cats in the bunch.

Which is hilarious, and extremely on-brand for Sidney Powell and Howard Kleinhendler, the two Krakenhead lawyers who put their names on this brief. Less hilarious is their invocation of Martin Luther King’s 1966 speech describing riots as “the language of the unheard,” both because of the breathtaking audacity of the comparison and because of the implied threat of violence less than two years after people who believed their lies about a stolen election stormed the Capitol seeking to overthrow the government.

1. Flock of Cats was one of my favorite bands in the 80s.

[Geechie]

9. Hairballs...

[Sanity Claws]

2. Flock of cats? Kraken is so apt

[GoCubsGo]

3. Another one who belongs in a psychiatric ward.

She should be in the room next to Mike Lindell's.

[Thomas Hurt]

4. Nice projection, that is exactly what the magats do. Focus on conjecture and outright bullshit...

and conclude that the election was rigged by massive fraud.

The Big Lie is a flock of cats.

5. I believe the proper term is a "clowder of cats" . . .

But was I expecting Sidney Powell (as a lawyer) to be familiar with dusty corners of the English language? Not really.

6. Mob violence? Like a right wing mob threatening to murder 1/2 of Congress?

[hlthe2b]

7. Renamed after the tragic seagull massacre in the late 80s

So apt she is.

[Chainfire]

8. I am sick and damn tired of being threatened, daily with Fascist mob violence.

Let the mobs crawl out from under their rocks where they can be dealt with appropriately. Will it come with a cost? No doubt, but is is a cost we must bear. A free nation can not make decisions based upon threats or fears.

When we finally deal with them (and it is a when, not an if) then the people who egged them on should have to suffer the same fates as the ones who actually carried the guns and threw the bombs.

10. Yep. That's the kind of argument that will persuade a court. Not.

11. This is your brain on Trump
