Thank you for the chickens. They are just what I needed, sanity in the midst of chaos and stupidity. I hope you sleep very well.

Joyce, I was sending this email to Marc Elias when this came in and made me IJBOS! (I Just Burst Out Smiling!)

Marc,

For you consideration, here is what I posted on Professor Ruth Ben-Ghiat’s Lucid the other day:

"When a $787.7 mil fine doesn’t even slow down Fox and civil judgements don’t slow down Trump we are truly in a dark age. Maybe Democracy Docket needs to shift focus to suing all the liars over and over until they are bankrupt. The only perp so far that appears close to bankruptcy is Rudy. Lying has to cost them billions.

'Garland blew the federal criminal prosecutions. Here’s hoping states like NY, Georgia and Arizona continue their prosecutions."

From watching how you conduct your life and business I’m sure whatever money you win would be plowed into the next lawsuit!

Marc should team up with Ms Carroll's attorneys!

Ms Kaplan was fantastic in the Courtroom; Marc Elias & Team know exactly what they are doing in court & out.

FRIDAY NIGHT 11/15 UPDATE from Democracy Docket. An official recount is underway on the Pennsylvania Senate race.

Democracy Docket (this time Matt Cohen) reports that the RNC & McCormick filed a 4th Lawsuit yesterday against the Centre County Board of Elections for a total of 4 lawsuits.

Yesterday 11/14's lawsuit seeks an Order stopping the Board of Elections from counting three Ballots; YES stopping the counting of exactly 3 Ballots on the basis the Ballots were Missing a date and/or had the Wong date even know the Board of Elections timely received the Ballots!

Repeat: The RNC is seeking to bar 3 Ballots timely received! IMO ( & not humble) Marc Elias & Team should NOT "shift focus". Stay the course Marc & stay in the legal Battle.

Has the city of Chicago ever seized the tower he has? Because it needs to go. There's a lot of homeless it could house as a shelter. Or even better? Turn it into affordable childcare. Turn it into a park...offset that carbon footprint.

And, they had better sell that property before Jan 20.

Mary, the sale of real estate in the United States has changed dramatically since the class action settlement of the class action against National Association of Realtors (NAR). Just Google it to get started new transactional realities.

I just got my notice from the Class Action Administrator on how & when to make my claim from the 2020 sale of my CA Bay Area house. The Administrator I told me to simply attach the closing cost document to increase my recovery substantially.

Mary - GREAT question for Joyce!

Only if Professor Vance chooses to address this topic out of the 1000 or more pending urgent legal issues.

Surely overturning Citizens United would help! That won't be easy, but it's easier than turning the clock back to before Reagan was elected.

That’s never gonna happen. They are ALL so beholden to their corporate masters and they LOVE the money - both sides, very sorry to say.

As has been said elsewhere, giving up in advance is not a good longterm strategy.

Jason, you simply do not understand litigation strategy, legal tactics & the many victories of Marc Elias & Team much less the concept of a "Democracy Docket."

Get off the sofa and into a Courtroom to get a much better comprehension of civil & criminal law state & federal.

Think about it.

PS: One does not need over 30 years of litigation & trial experience against extremely well funded opponents to savor a legal victory such as saving a 3 generations family business not counting the lives & well being of the children. In the Courtroom you must bring everything you got.

Seeing the chickens always makes me feel better which is a good thing as chocolate isn’t helping anymore.

So, now we have Elon Musk meeting privately with a representative of the government of Iran without the knowledge, or consent, of the current administration. Unless I’m way off base doesn’t 18 USC § 953 – Private correspondence with foreign governments apply here? Are we already on the path where Trump favorites can ignore the law of the land and do whatever they wish?

Either the Law doesn't apply to right-wing bilionaires, or the powers that be are too afraid to enforce the laws. Pick two of these.

I was wondering the same thing, Larry.

Appreciate you Joyce! After my own sleepless nights I've adopted my own mindset of "Resist, Frustrate and Reject all things MAGA." Sort of a Rosa Parks approach to not giving up her seat. They will have to take it from me. We can't make it easy for them, or give in, or form an orderly line that facilitates their BS -- simply don't comply.

Lettuce all hope and work for the preservation of our fragile republic.

I'm sorry. xo
