Payback’s a bitch. And her name is Karma. Man, Donald Trump just can’t catch a break nowadays, no siree, he simply cannot. His problems are stacking up like the planes over La Guardia. Court didn’t go well today and then lo and behold there’s this.
NEW: A lawsuit alleging that Donald Trump, his campaign and the RNC tried to disenfranchise Black voters during the 2020 election has been reassigned to Judge Tanya Chutkan, the same judge in Trump's DC election subversion case.

This case alleges that Trump and his campaign and the Republican party intentionally tried to disenfranchise Black voters, which is a violation of the Voting Rights Act. It’s being brought the by NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund.
Well, where do we go from here? First, the inevitable river of ketchup cascading down the walls, then the demands that Judge Chutkan recuse herself, to no avail, and by the way, Trump already tried his immunity argument. It didn’t work in this case, either.
So he’s screwed, blue, and tattooed, so far as we can see. I wonder how many more cases Trump will be involved in? I wonder if even he can keep track of all of them. I’m also wondering if Wisconsin and other states where he tried this fake elector nonsense will also sue? Politico, November 20, 2020:
The lawsuit aimed to halt any efforts by the Trump campaign and the president to push state officials into canceling their ballots or appointing electors who do not represent the election results in their state. It cited numerous efforts to cast doubt on the election, from Trump’s personal tweets to a White House meeting Friday between Republican state lawmakers and Trump.
The plaintiffs included three Black residents of Detroit — Teasha K. Jones, Nicole L. Hill and Maureen Taylor — who voted in this year’s election, as well as the Michigan Welfare Rights Organization. The plaintiffs are represented by lawyers from the NAACP Legal Defense Fund.
The Trump campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment Friday night.
Democratic President-elect Joe Biden won Michigan by about 150,000 votes, as well as a handful of other critical swing states that clinched him a majority in the Electoral College. Biden’s lead was particularly notable in Wayne County, where he was ahead of Trump by more than 332,000 votes.
Trump’s legal team has launched a spate of legal challenges and publicly claimed mass fraud in an effort to delegitimize the election results. Trump campaign lawyer Rudy Giuliani said at a press conference Thursday that “it changes the result of the election in Michigan, if you take out Wayne County.”
The Trump campaign’s legal challenges in a number of key swing states have been dismissed by judges as meritless. The Trump campaign rescinded its own lawsuit on Thursday challenging the Michigan election results.
Their suit cited two Republican Wayne County officials who declined to certify the election tally Tuesday evening. But the officials did end up certifying the election only hours later.
Lawyers for Detroit asked a judge to strike the campaign’s claims in their withdrawn lawsuit from the record as a sanction for spreading disinformation, Reuters reported Friday.
Trump hosted Republican members of Michigan’s legislature at the White House on Friday in an opaque meeting that appeared to be a last-ditch attempt at swinging the state in his favor.
Trump’s allies have recently floated a legally questionable method to get state lawmakers to appoint friendly electors. But after their White House meeting, Michigan Senate Majority Leader Mike Shirkey and House Speaker Lee Chatfield both asserted they had “not yet been made aware of any information that would change the outcome of the election in Michigan.”
Once again we need to stop and marvel: none of this would be happening if Trump could just have admitted he lost and conceded and gone about his business. But he was characterologically incapable of doing that. So he committed one folly after another in the name of the Big Lie and it’s all returning to bite him in the butt. That’s what folly gets you.
Karma is getting his hopes up by letting him get The Loose Cannon for his first case to lull him into a false sense of security – and then assigning him these other judges to take his security away again.
This time both literally and finally.
Karma has quite the sense of humor doesn’t she?
I’d feel sorry for the person who had to tell Trump this bit of news, but then since they chose to work for him in the first place screw em! You know what? At this point they should just drain the pool at Mar a Lago and fill it with watered down (a bit) ketchup and hook up a pump & hose to his private dining room. It could even had an added benefit. I’m betting “Melanie’s” most recent re-negotiated prenup frees her from any obligation to f**k him ever again. So they could set up one of those plastic backyard pools and put some of the watered down ketchup in it, and Trump could get his rocks off beating his mushroom headed meat to gals in string bikinis “ketchup wrestling!” (He’ll pay them a bonus to “wash off” by golden showering each other)
Like I’ve said before , trump is a crook and always has been . He would’ve been dangerous if he wasn’t so stupid .
Nah. It’s not Karma. It is Morrigan,the Irish battle goddess who really hates stupid men whose mouths and boasts are much bigger than their ability to take a punch so they fight dirty. And whinets. She/They also.hate whiners,,and Trump is a Grade A Whiner.
