Former U.S. President Donald Trump said on Thursday he had canceled a press conference scheduled for next week to release a report into the 2020 election in Georgia, saying his attorneys would put his arguments in court filings instead.
Trump said earlier this week that he would hold the press conference on Monday to release a detailed, 100-page report into what he described as “election fraud” in the state of Georgia during the 2020 election he lost to Democrat Joe Biden.
what, they couldn’t book the landscaping place?
Do you think that was the weirdest moment of the 2020 cycle? I think so.
For me it was the trifecta of four seasons landscaping, dropping hair dye and farting in court.
I was not expecting that title to be so literal

see this is what i need… i forgot the fart!
i am still in serious Giuliani-shock from that one… and i want to hold onto that feeling and savor it just a little longer here on the internet…
Strongman won’t act on his initial whim? What is Stongman afraid of? Strongman looks like pansy RINO now. Strongman of old never worried about weak court weenies. Stop doubting, make Strongman great again!
The adjective is pusillanimous. The origin of “pussy” as an insult.
Donald Trump was so close to releasing a 100-page-report on the 2020 election fraud in Georgia. That’s obviously PROOF that there was in FACT an election FRAUD taking place in 2020 in Georgia!

Oh God, why is the random capitalization for emphasis always so irritating? You did an excellent job of mimicking the writing style of an aggressively ignorant Trump supporter, and by that I mean I started getting angry even though I knew what you were doing.
Ugh.
That says a lot about how terrible his supporters are tbh, totally get it.
Well there probably was, but it was by his own party so…
Dammit, now we’ll need to read the indictments to find out about election fraud
I’d bet his lawyers threatened to walk.
How does he even still has lawyers given not only his problematic persona, but also his tendency of not paying his lawyers?
He’s paying them 30-50% of his campaign funds. It also must be a reputation builder. They get to argue in Federal Court, and if they lose all they have to do is point to the fact that it’s Donald Trump. Who is a criminal.

Well, unless they are complete morons (looking at you Rudy) they are requiring payment in advance.
Retainers are pretty common. I don’t know how other attorneys got screwed.
Are retainers common when dealing with the wealthy? Honest question.
No idea, but any lawyer who represents Trump and doesn’t demand cash up front deserves what they get.
Not to mention they’ve also got a tendency to be indicted themselves.
Orange clown strikes out again
Honk! Yuuge honk!
Awwwww damn….so close to keeping himself out of prison. /s
Send that /s back to reddit.
Oh sure, I’ll get right on that /s
I’ve seen lots of people do it, is that not a thing here?
Post how you like. Don’t mind pedantic gatekeeping.
you gotta BELIEVE in that sarcasm, and let it run free in the world… it don’t need no fence of /s holding it back!!
Ok…ok….deep breath…I got this, I can do it, I’ll let the sarcasm flow through me freely….it’s a big task man, but I think I can do it!
Now if you could just give me pep talks every time I’m about to present something at work, that would be great too lol
i’ll do that sort of work for a donut
Deal
send the deets and the donuts, and i’ll see you on Success Street
It’s a cop-out for low-effort comments.
I have honestly seen other people tell someone to use it when it wasn’t obvious that they were being sarcastic.
I would love to accommodate everyone here on this issue but I don’t think it’s possible so how about if I think something might be too obscure wrt sarcasm, I’ll use it, but on other stuff I won’t. I know some folks whose first language isn’t English may appreciate it at times?
Satire is pretty much dead these days, but you can still communicate obvious sarcasm by really making it over-the-top.
If you don’t want to make it that strong, then I question the point of making the comment in the first place.
that’s a really nice way to put it

commit or go home… that’s the spirit… let it hang out there and see what happens…

To the surprise of no one.
I’m a little surprised he apparently listened to his lawyers.
His ‘Press Conference’ (where he takes no questions from anyone but Newsmax and OAN) was probably just going to be another rambling bunch of his usual lies, sprinkled with a good dose of stochastic terrorism. I’ll bet his lawyers threatened to walk if he did it.
Well yeah that’s the part we were looking forward to. He would have likely repeated a bunch of lies about the election which would’ve gone straight to the prosecution as more acts in furtherance of the conspiracy and with a bit of luck he would’ve threatened someone and ended up being denied bail because of it. We all knew this was gonna be a shit show but for once his blatant crimes committed on live television seem to be inching toward actual consequences and I for one am a bit heartbroken we didn’t get to watch him get arrested in the middle of his speech because he thought he was slick in calling for the murders of his opponents.
I can’t wait to see the wad of bullshit that he puts forward about this
Remember that table full of stacks of blank pages from when he took office?
Yeah, that probably
Fuck, that was embarrassing. He’s like a shitty carny.
Well Roy Cohen helped Joe McCarthy create the red scare using boxes of blank paper
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Aug 17 (Reuters) - Former U.S. President Donald Trump said on Thursday he had canceled a press conference scheduled for next week to release a report into the 2020 election in Georgia, saying his attorneys would put his arguments in court filings instead.
Trump said earlier this week that he would hold the press conference on Monday to release a detailed, 100-page report into what he described as “election fraud” in the state of Georgia during the 2020 election he lost to Democrat Joe Biden.
He has been charged in Georgia and in federal court with attempting to overturn those election results.
“Rather than releasing the Report on the Rigged & Stolen Georgia 2020 Presidential Election on Monday, my lawyers would prefer putting this, I believe, Irrefutable & Overwhelming evidence of Election Fraud & Irregularities in formal Legal Filings,” Trump said on Truth Social.
Since his defeat in 2020, Trump has repeatedly claimed that the election was marred by widespread fraud.
Those claims have been rejected by courts, state reviews and members of his own administration.
I’m a bot and I’m open source!
Just more lies from a POS.
What on earth could his lawyers be putting in court filings? Just copy paste these again?
From the Wikipedia page:
“Rather than presenting their evidence and witnesses to a court and to cross-examination under oath, the Trump campaign wisely decided the smartest course was to dismiss their frivolous cases,”
:D

It’s amazing how many of these trump articles I can reply with “of course he did”. This is yet another one.
