I wonder if this is the one result that Giuliani won't challenge in court?

Then again, maybe it was a negative result until a Biden-Harris van turned up at the labs with updated results. Source: A sworn affadavit from a temp working there.

The Arizona Legislature will be closed all next week after at least 15 current or future Republican legislators may have been directly exposed to COVID-19 by meeting with Rudy Giuliani.

You might be right for once.

Trump lawyer Jenna Ellis has COVID-19.

Looks like spending time in lots of different rooms with lots of different people (whilst not wearing masks) increases your chances of getting COVID, doesn’t it?

You'd need to ask Hom3R about that

Trump is a callous, uncaring individual. Publicly doesn't give a damn about Covid and is an unsavoury specimen.

Also shows what half of the USA is more or less like - those who voted Republican.

You know if I were American I'd have voted for him first time round as I thougt it would be a laugh, turned out the joke was on me and pretty much everyone else on the planet who isn't closely related to him!

What a pointless, ignorant, comment. Didn’t expect that from you.

File it along with other classics, such as:

- those that voted Brexit were uneducated and didn’t know what they voted for

- all Tory voters are selfish middle class snobs that hate poor people.

Etc.

No country is immune to half its voters being deceived by populists who promise the earth and don't deliver. Which reminds me, I must see how Boris is getting along in Bruxelles.

I see what you did there

I don't think we can brag about having an electorate with a higher IQ. Populists who promise everything and a change , then deliver nothing and leave us worse off are all the rage these days. I blame reality TV and short attention spans.

In massively surprising news The Supreme Court has refused to overturn an election: https://uk.reuters.com/article/usa-e...-idUKKBN28I35E

The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday handed a defeat to Republicans seeking to throw out up to 2.5 million mail-in ballots in Pennsylvania as they try to undo President Donald Trump’s election loss, with the justices refusing to block the state from formalizing President-elect Joe Biden’s victory there.

The court in a brief order rejected a request made by U.S. congressman Mike Kelly, a Trump ally, and other Pennsylvania Republicans who filed a lawsuit after the Nov. 3 election arguing that the state’s 2019 expansion of mail-in voting was illegal under state law.

lol.

It's especially funny as every time these idiots got knocked back they gloated about how their true plan was to get to the Supreme Court as fast as possible.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is suing four battleground states — Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin — whose election results handed the White House to President-elect Joe Biden.

In the suit, he claims that pandemic-era changes to election procedures in those states violated federal law and asks the U.S. Supreme Court to block the states from voting in the Electoral College.

The last-minute bid, which legal experts have already characterized as a long shot, comes alongside dozens of similar attempts by President Donald Trump and his political allies. The majority of those lawsuits have already failed...

...In a filing to the high court Tuesday, Paxton claims the four battleground states broke the law by instituting pandemic-related changes to election policies, whether “through executive fiat or friendly lawsuits, thereby weakening ballot integrity.”

Paxton claimed that these changes allowed for voter fraud to occur — a conclusion experts and election officials have rejected — and said the court should push back a Dec. 14 deadline by which states must appoint their presidential electors.

Meanwhile, previously in Texas...
