Sharpie Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 It seems now that Bill Barr who has besmirched his own reputation in loyalty to Trump is now a target for Trumps practise of firing , his normal action to show his appreciation for their loyalty. In my life I have met and seen some despicable people, but Trump is I am sure the worst I have ever evidenced. He has no sense of truth, no idea of respect, no loyalty , no thought for anyone other than himself, is a coward, for many reasons, lack of courage to face those he is firing, afraid to face the truth, afraid to ever admit he was wrong, and afraid to serve his Country when asked. He is the first person as far as I can remember in my life that has not one redeeming feature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can only get around 5,000/1 for Hamilton to come from the bottom, stage a spectacular run while everyone else crashes, and win the SPL. Yet somehow republicans have estimated the chances of Biden winning just 4 states at one thousand trillion to 1. A number over 142,000 times greater than all the people on the planet.

What's even more disturbing is that to tens of millions of voters it doesn't seem to matter. Can you see any party in any other leading Western democracy being that crazy and still being electable?

JFK-1 Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 All of this utter shite should be deemed frivolous litigation and treated as such. Quote Frivolous litigation is the use of legal processes with apparent disregard for the merit of one's own arguments. It includes presenting an argument with reason to know that it would certainly fail, or acting without a basic level of diligence in researching the relevant law and facts. The fact that a claim is lost does not imply that it was frivolous. Frivolous litigation may be based on absurd legal theories, may involve a superabundance or repetition of motions or additional suits, may be uncivil or harassing to the court, or may claim extreme remedies. A claim or defense may be frivolous because it had no underlying justification in fact, or because it was not presented with an argument for a reasonable extension or reinterpretation of the law. A claim may be deemed frivolous because existing laws unequivocally prohibit such a claim, such as a so-called Good Samaritan law. In the United States, Rule 11 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and similar state rules require that an attorney perform a due diligence investigation concerning the factual basis for any claim or defense. Jurisdictions differ on whether a claim or defense can be frivolous if the attorney acted in good faith. Because such a defense or claim wastes the court's and the other parties' time, resources and legal fees, sanctions may be imposed by a court upon the party or the lawyer who presents the frivolous defense or claim. The law firm may also be sanctioned, or even held in contempt. Attorney Daniel Evans writes: When a judge calls an argument "ridiculous" or "frivolous," it is absolutely the worst thing the judge could say. It means that the person arguing the position has absolutely no idea of what he is doing, and has completely wasted everyone's time. It doesn't mean that the case wasn't well argued, or that judge simply decided for the other side, it means that there was no other side. The argument was absolutely, positively, incompetent. The judge is not telling you that you were "wrong." The judge is telling you that you are out of your mind. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frivolous_litigation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharpie Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 It is now the done thing to protest or demonstrate, and those are rights. Currently I have seen anti masking demonstrations, also anti vaccine, there was a recent protest at a State politicians house where Trump supporters some armed carried out their right to do so. State politicians are receiving death threats. Federal members of the Senate are supporting Trump by continuing with his allegations and confirming what are lies. Trump is doing everything and anything to disrupt good order and discipline. He fails to attend a Christmas party at the White House which he is the host. It is not difficult to look at the individuals in these activities to see that some are violent not particularly interested in the cause , but see an opportunity to create havoc and participate in armed action. If Trump does not cease his present actions this will turn in to serious armed against authorities action, not as far as civil war, but extremely dangerous to the rule of law and those who seek to do civil duties in the interests of their fellow Americans. One also has to remember that there are political foreign pseudo friends who would or will take advantage of any such occurrences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharpie Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 (edited) Good sized demonstration by Trump supporters Trump got the Marine helicopter he was in to do a fly past for them. Giuliani tells reporters that he got the required drugs for Covid when he was in hospital because they believe celebrities should be priority because people want to hear what he has to say. I have tried to listen to him in his celebrity mode and I couldn't listen to him as I was so incredulous that his hair dye was running down his face, and the next time he was sitting next to a young lady and letting loose volatile farts. In fact the fart sounds were making more sense than Rudy was making, funny because he talks out of his arse most of the time.
