A problem I see is that so many of tRump/McTurtle judges are out there now that they may be inclined to play along with 'their' game.
It's going to be a sad 'review in history' when later generations look back and see how our current populace allowed itself to be lulled into inattention to what was going on in our government.....

(4,269 posts)all around. It would behoove a sane man to let this udderly crazy lawsuit finally die. But knowing how he has acted already he cud be stubborn enough to try to take this to the SC. It is a strange tail to be sure but he may well be full holstein ahead at this point. Every court has clopped him on this case and he needs to put this whole matter out to pasture.

(4,269 posts)and I will take your advice. I'm sure it is apparent I'm not trying to curry favor but Nunes would probably tan my hide if he saw these posts.
