November 22, 2020: The Kraken Lady Gets the Bounce

 11/22/20: The president spends another “busy” weekend:

 

A)    Denying he lost the election.

B)     Insisting that a leading member of his legal team was never really a member of his legal team.

C)    Pretending that COVID-19 is going away.

D)   Playing golf rather than addressing the serious problems the nation is currently facing.

 

First, on Sunday, he manages to dash off and play Round #312 of golf since taking the oath of office.

Sidney Powell in happier days.

 

Second, Sidney Powell, has been bounced from the “elite strike force” (see: 11/19/20) fighting to overturn election results in court. On Thursday, she, Rudy Giuliani, and Jenna Ellis held forth in a press conference for 1 hour and 45 minutes, a batsh*t performance, with three legs to the stool. Rudy, the first leg, literally melted on camera, as hair dye-colored sweat trickled down his face. Ellis, the second, railed at reporters and howled at networks that refused to carry the bizarre performance live. Powell, the third leg, topped it off, insisting that the ghost of Hugo Chavez, the deceased Venezuelan dictator, had managed to employ software to steal votes in multiple states without anyone (except people like Powell) noticing.

 

It didn’t help when she insisted – after the Georgia hand recount went against Trump, too – that she realized Brian Kemp, the Republican governor of the state, was also in on the Hugo fix.

 

On Saturday, she told reporters for right-wing Newsmax that an election lawsuit she had filed in Georgia would “be biblical.” She added optimistically, “Georgia’s probably going to be the first state I’m gonna blow up.”

 

She even promised to “unleash the Kraken.”

 

Alas, Powell’s claims were so nutty, that even the other pistachios realized she was making them look like nuts by association.

 

Sunday the almonds released a statement: “Sidney Powell is practicing law on her own. She is not a member of the Trump Legal Team. She is also not a lawyer for the President in his personal capacity,” Giuliani and Ellis insisted. That was interesting, since during Thursday’s press conference, Giuliani identified Ms. Powell as a member of the team and the president identified her as someone working for him in a November 14 tweet. 

 

I look forward to Mayor Giuliani spearheading the legal effort to defend OUR RIGHT to FREE and FAIR ELECTIONS! Rudy Giuliani, Joseph diGenova, Victoria Toensing, Sidney Powell, and Jenna Ellis, a truly great team, added to our other wonderful lawyers and representatives! 

 

Yes, a “truly great team.” Powell not included.

WHILE TRUMP was flying around in a golf cart, and whacking away at the pebbled white ball, he had no public comments to offer on the spreading pandemic. The CDC reported in his place that the country had piled up 184,591 cases on November 21. The death toll for the day: 1,476.

 

Total deaths from COVID-19:

 

255,076.
