Trump campaign's Georgia lawsuit dismissed

Source: ABC News

A judge in Chatham County, Georgia, home to the Democrat-leaning city of Savannah, dismissed the Trump campaign's lawsuit during a Thursday morning hearing, according an official in the judge's office.

The suit alleged that the county may be mishandling ballots and therefore inadvertently mixing up ballots that arrived on time with ones that arrived late. The suit was based on one allegation from an out-of-state Republican poll observer and involved less than 60 ballots.

The suit, filed alongside the Georgia Republican Party, sought to order the county to compile, store and account for all ballots received after 7 p.m. on Election Day (the receipt deadline).

and the disposition of each one. I think we'll see that >90% of them went down in flames.

I also want to see the grand total of his legal fees for this two week period.

Even though he is stiffing them, he is overpaying.

Why? Because they know that the Democrats are making inroads on rallying people to vote.

Trump has gotten his way, regardless of Reality, Truth, or Law, all his life by bullying, intimidating, sueing, and strong-arming everyone who comes in contact with him........

He is now, along with the support of the Entire Republican Party, trying to do it on a grand, nationwide scale.

It is important for people to realize, that in reality, under the skin of every bully is a deeply insecure personality disorder........along with a TWPC...... (Teenie Weenie Peenie Complex), AKA Napoleon Complex. Trump is the epitome of this fact and has shown it countless times to all that are watching.

In addition, his un-ending, so called "Executive Orders" are also just bullshit press release memos with his signature attached.....

The thing that is so enigmatic and disturbing to so many I talk to is why do 50 MILLION trumphumpers swallow his bullshit hook line and sinker????? Even if we take the Presidency, The Senate, The House, we will still have to confront that fact and resolve it......
