And Trump would come back as Giuliani? It would be like a demonic version of  Freaky Friday.

There are 74 millions who voted for Trump and 70% still believed that the election was stolen. Doing the math, there are 52 millions that could possibly and foolishly part their money and crowd fund Guiliani's  lawsuit damages. Any extra from crowd funding will probably end up in his private account. Grifter will be grifter to the end.

I think you need to narrow that down quite a bit.  Not all who voted for Trump believe the election was stolen.  Just the nutter ones.  But still, it's a large number.  Scary.

It is too soon to know exactly how much business Dominion will lose because of the conspiracy theories targeting it, so there’s no way to say right now how much money Dominion should be able to collect from the people who popularized that conspiracy theory. But when all the damage is done, the total amount could be simply enormous. In the Giuliani suit, Dominion seeks $651,735,000 in compensatory damages, plus an additional $651,735,000 in punitive damages. (Punitive damages are sometimes awarded when a defendant is found to have engaged in willful misconduct, in order to deter that defendant from acting the same way in the future.)

It seem that most people forget America has a constitution that clearly states that the state legislatures and the state legislatures only can select the electors and in four key stated the Secretary of State and Governors of these four key states illegally changed the system ignoring the constitution. Furthermore, and all in the name of COVID, mass mailers sent to persons not registered to vote (dead people) should have been a big red flag but again these states and mainstream media looked the other way and facilitated this fraud.

Ahhhh........okkkkkk.........

So elections by citizen voters are basically advisory and the founders intended the real voting to be in the legislature? What they intended was for legislatures to act in good faith and not support claims that have been repeatedly rejected by Republican electoral officials and the courts.

And if those states did change the system illegally, why did the challengers wait until after the elections to bring this up before the courts? For obvious reason the courts don't like this kind of ambush attempt.

Team trump has combed the elections in vain for any significant number of dead people voting. Their extravagant claims have been repeatedly exposed as lies and have been laughed out of courts.

Sending postal ballots to people who have recently died, and who have yet to be removed from the electoral roll, is not the same as "dead people voting".

 

The crack legal task force assembled by the Trump campaign failed to present any credible evidence in multiple (60+) court challenges where they alleged (without evidence) voting fraud.

 

It seems to me, as an outsider who attempts to keep abreast of US politics, that the Republican party has for some time now relied on "fixing the vote", through voter suppression, gerrymandering and taking advantage of constitutional anomalies unforseen by the drafters of the constitution. This time round they also expected " their" judges to come through for them.

 

They came unstuck.

Shouldn't the beloved leader been charged?

"Dominion’s defamation lawsuit for $1.3B will allow me to investigate their history, finances, and practices fully and completely," Giuliani said, adding that he may file a countersuit against the company for violating his rights.

Don't former mayors sit on their ass all day or play golf ?
