Turn your head sideways. I’m missing one.
Self eating cookbooks are going to be big hits this season.
Giuliani has already revealed why he’s humiliating himself with this shitshow (coughpardoncough), but what’s in it for Ellis?
A fat paycheck? Another book?
Money and fame. She’s going to make a shitload of money doing this, and will continue to make a shitload of money with a gig at Newsmax or OAN.
Watching them eat each other alive is wonderful. I’m just hoping this all blows up in their face for the Georgia elections (and, hopefully more elections after that), having sufficiently turned off enough Republican voters from voting that we can actually fix some shit.
We’re now at the point where Trump’s defenders are arguing that everyone in government who isn’t Donald Trump—including his own hand-picked cabinet members, judges and appointees—is part of a conspiracy to steal the election from Donald Trump.
So she’s relying on Trump to pay his bill? That’s a bold strategy, Cotton.
I see four lights
and one dim bulb
Trump’s agreed to go there to try to get the vote out. I fully expect he’s going to go off the rails and start talking about election fraud and attacking local Republicans, and it’ll have the opposite effect. (He’s already tweeted that they shouldn’t even have a runoff at all…)
So she’s relying on Trump to pay his bill?
Not necessarily Trump. It’s more long-term - she’s positioning herself as a not-exactly-honest lawyer to the insane rich, willing to support whatever crazy idea they get in their heads.
I’m inhaling popcorn right now!
cough
I’m not sure she’s positioning herself as someone rich people would hire as a lawyer (for that she’d want to have some chance at actually winning) so much as someone who will get paid gigs as a celebrity political pundit on conservative media.

He may well think he is providing the best defense ever; he is a bit of a narcissist, himself. But of course he wants a pardon.
Who knows? Maybe a state court somewhere is cooking up charges of some sort on him.
but what’s in it for Ellis?
The usual: Money, Power & Fame.
wait, BILL BARR says there was no election fraud? now i’m starting to think rudy might be onto something…!
