Trump rails at judges as another court rejects his lawyers' claims of voter fraud

President phoned into Fox News to blame the courts for his campaign’s so far unsuccessful legal challenges

A day after Pennsylvania’s highest court had thrown out a lower court’s order preventing the state from certifying results from the 3 November US elections, Donald Trump blasted the judges’ decision.

Saturday’s case – which had attempted to throw out 2.5m mail in votes in the crucial state – was the latest of dozens of failed lawsuits by Trump’s lawyers, with judges castigating his lawyers for failing to present evidence of fraud.

With states certifying results, Trump has an ever dwindling route to contest the election as Joe Biden pushes on with preparations for his inauguration as president on 20 January and recruits the team for his administration.

However, on Sunday in his first media appearance since losing the presidential contest to his Democratic rival, the president phoned into Fox News to blame the courts for his campaign’s so far unsuccessful legal challenges, which are based on a series of debunked conspiracies alleging widespread voter fraud.

“We’re not allowed to put in our proof. They say you don’t have standing,” Trump told Fox’s Sunday Morning Futures.

1. "an ever dwindling route to contest the election"

CORRECTION: "Zero route to contest the election".

Even UK media is giving credence to the lunatic fringe lawsuits.

[gratuitous]

2. No standing, no evidence, no law, no nothing, Donald

Just the overpowering loserstink.

3. No coherent legal theories. No evidence. No appropriate defendants. No appropriate remedies.

No timely filings. No standing. No case. No reputable counsel. No scruples. No shame. Unfair! Blame the judges!

5. No lawyer here, but wouldn't a bit of actual proof give him standing? What a whiner! nt

[struggle4progress]

6. No: I think standing involves legal position to sue:

The fact that X might be able to prove Y smecked Z in the schnozz generally won't confer on X standing to sue Y

4. Trump doesn't know what to do when his lawyers and money can't

help him. Poor Donnie.

7. Betty told Bobby that Billy saw ballots for Trump being burned. So Bobby told Bailey

who told Bert that he should send a tweet to Trump letting him know what Billy said he saw.

We couldn't find Billy, but we had the tweet from Bert.

And the judge wouldn't listen! Said that wasn't proof!

I was robbed!

9. Ridiculous rants

And I’m sick of em. I’m sick of him. I wish he’d just stfu and go away.
