If it's not hair dye,  what in God's holy name IS that stuff?   Is he putting mascara on his sideburns/temples?

Seems kid's fraud case of Biblical proportions may have to be pursued by another lawyer.

Ms Powell apparently is too nutty for Rudy and Jenna

They listened to kid's "WHOA"

President Trump’s campaign on Sunday disavowed Sidney Powell, one of his lawyers, after she made wild accusations of Republican governors being involved in a payoff scheme to manipulate voting machines.

The extraordinary statement from Rudolph W. Giuliani and Jenna Ellis, two lawyers for Mr. Trump, about a third person who had been involved in their efforts was released Sunday evening.

“Sidney Powell is practicing law on her own,” the statement said. “She is not a member of the Trump legal team. She is also not a lawyer for the president in his personal capacity.”

"The conduct of the president’s legal team has been a national embarrassment,” Christie added, noting that Trump’s lawyers have made a flurry of fraud allegations but have offered no evidence to back them up in court.

Christie criticized Trump’s lawyers for proffering false conspiracy theories at news conferences and other media appearances.

“They don’t do it in the courtroom,” the 2016 Republican presidential candidate said, suggesting the attorneys are fearful of making baseless arguments under oath before federal judges.

“It must mean the evidence doesn’t exist,” Christie said.

Christie said the Republican Party should focus on trying to win Georgia’s two runoff elections Jan. 5 to secure the Senate majority, rather than continuing with its unsuccessful legal challenges of the presidential election results.   


Amazing how the bare minimum of common sense and reasoning skills, when displayed by a Republican, seems notable.   Impressive,  even.   How low standards sink!

But surely Christie knows Trumpian strategies are not about the good of the GOP.  The purpose is really simple: repeat nonsense until a significant fraction of the population start to think "there must be something to it" and doubt the legitimacy of the Biden administration, thus weakening it and paving the way for retaking the White House in 2024.  Christie surely knows that neither the GOP nor national embarrassment register to Trump's seamless and total egomania.

Now where could the GOP ever have heard of that type of strategy?
LOL!

It’s called the Big Lie. The weapon of choice for budding autocracies.

The saving grace of these times is the incompetence of the perps.

Red you may be the first patient they ever scooped the brains out of before replacing them with dog food in the emptied skull cavity that ever got up from the table. It might be because you think with your bladder and breathe and communicate through your asshole.

That's pretty strong and abrupt.

Spurning of biblical proportions!
