Kari Lake lost. The printer problem did not cause anyone to lose the ability to vote. Every vote was cast. She lost and she is grasping at straws. The Trump playbook of crying victim is all she has. But she lost fair and square. No amount of crying can change that

It would appear that the law is overwhelmingly on the side of the DOJ. If we now go through the appeals process to the Supreme Court, we’ll find out if the judicial system has survived the Federalist Society onslaught or whether the essence of America has been erased.

Have you seen the summary of Trump’s tax returns? Can you imagine making a charitable deduction claim for $500,000 on your income taxes and saying it was cash? No receipts. Just cash. I wonder if that would fly if you or I did this. No wonder he didn’t want his returns released

Via Forbes and NBC, most of the PPP loans under Trump’ admin went to large businesses and churches. Small businesses only got 13% of the money. Trump and Kushner businesses got $4 million. Many small business went under while big business saved few jobs.
