A federal judge on Friday dismissed a bid by Rep. Louie Gohmert

[Demsrule86]

"A federal judge on Friday dismissed a bid by Rep. Louie Gohmert (Texas) and other Republicans that sought to endow Vice President Pence with the legal authority to effectively overturn President-elect Joe Biden’s electoral win.

In his ruling, Texas-based U.S. District Judge Jeremy Kernodle, a Trump appointee, said the GOP plaintiffs lacked standing. The judge found that Gohmert suffered no legally recognizable injury.

The other plaintiffs, a group of Arizona Republicans who self-identify as an alternate “slate” of pro-Trump electors, could not link their supposed injury to Pence, he reasoned".

5. The Trump team

seems unwilling to let go of the fact that since their candidate lost, that should be standing.

8. Animated gifs

No matter how emotional they are, use up my bandwith and distract my attention. That makes me resent the gif and the poster.

Whatever.
