He was just joking! With officials from several states
about breaking the law
 

So… he was making a clever “how about you find a way to throw out legal ballots” joke and the GA Sec of State was just too dim to appreciate the humor? That’s what we’re going with? https://t.co/TfW1Ku1KAs

Officials in charge of counting didn’t get the joke.
No sense of humor

 
Come on – Nobody knows what ‘opacity’ means…
 

Update from U.S. district court in Williamsport, Pa., one of the Trump campaign's last stands:

GIULIANI: “I’m not sure what 'opacity' means. It probably means you can see.”

JUDGE BRANN: “It means you can’t.”

…except for lawyers and grammaticians

Giuliani insists he is one, clearly is not the other.

It gets worse: much, much worse.

This, too, appeared to confuse Giuliani, who asked if the judge was inviting him to file the retooled third version of the lawsuit that he’d promised earlier.

“This is a brief in opposition to their motion to dismiss,” Brann replied.

“Oh!” Giuliani said. “Oh, sure, absolutely.”

“Mr. Giuliani is talking about another case, not the case before your honor,” Aronchick said.

Best we could come up with:

Private to Giuliani:
Make sure the judge doesn’t look too closely

Note from Burr:
I may be old, but I’ll never be too old to be immature.

One anchor promotes a false claim, the next destroys it
 

Must watch!

After Maria Bartiromo devoted her entire show this morning to promoting Trump's Dominion conspiracy, Fox News anchor Eric Shawn debunks it and other voter fraud claims, declaring that "such baseless and false claims are an insult" to election officials and workers. pic.twitter.com/ksM2hGIJqn

• Gritty is the ferocious mascot for the Philadelphia Flyers hockey team (that’s hockey as in “I went to a fight the other night, and a hockey game broke out”). Gritty fits the mascot motif of weirdness but combines it with a tough, ready for a fight, borderline bully, image of the game.

  Put Gritty and Conlan together and you get a story for the French public, as Conlan explains Gritty in French. Don’t worry. It’s subtitled for us rubes.

• Our favorite Earth-Bound Misfit brings us a recording of the seconds before and after the moment World War I ended. The thunder of guns stops. Then birds begin to sing. Remarkable.
   
• Vagabond Scholar has written many articles over the years about the absurdity and brutality of war. He links to some of them on this week’s Veterans Day, and asks for contributions written by others. I, of course, respond. I take a somewhat different tone with an article from a dozen years ago about a chance encounter in a local library.
   
• Max’s Dad gets beyond impatient at selfish ignorance as anti-maskers put themselves and everyone else at risk. After all, Veteran’s Day reminds us that so many sacrificed so much, often everything, to allow these modern patriots to stand tall, demanding their own independence from minor inconvenience.
