And still, the charade goes on.

Another day, another unhinged attack on US democracy from Donald Trump and his campaign, this time fronted by one-time Mayor of New York, and current world laughing stock, Rudy Giuliani.

You may recall Rudy from that rather embarrassing ordeal on  Borat Subsequent Moviefilm.

What Trump supporters want to hear is outlandish and baseless claims of widespread voter fraud, and during a press conference last night, the president’s personal lawyer delivered.

The conference was held at the Republican National Committee headquarters in Washington DC, so I assume they’ve fired whoever was responsible for the Four Seasons Total Landscaping blunder.

Let’s hear what the 76-year-old had to say, via Sky:

When asked by Sky’s US correspondent Cordelia Lynch about the president’s efforts to overturn the election result, Mr Giuliani said: “The most important thing here is that this has been a massive attack on the integrity of the voting system in the greatest democracy on Earth.

“The people who did this have committed one of the worst crimes that I have ever seen or observed.”

If we have learnt anything over the past four years, and especially the past two weeks, it’s that America can no longer lay claim to being the greatest democracy on earth.

The nonsense spewing out of Rudy’s mouth was to be expected, but the hair dye running down the side of his face was a nice surprise.

It’s great how he throws all the boogeyman words together into a sentence, like it actually means something:

There was also a surreal moment when Rudy mentioned the movie My Cousin Vinny, as some sort of legal precedent:

The fact that he likes a movie with that title is fair enough, when you remember that his first wife was his second cousin.

Let’s see that sweat from another angle:

Another fun fact – on the Trump campaign’s official YouTube live stream of the press conference, whoever was running the feed could be heard mocking Rudy’s sweaty hair dye:

Just a shambles in every sense of the word.

Another fun fact – Rudy has asked the president’s campaign to pay him $20 000 a day for his legal work.

He has denied this, but multiple sources briefed on the matter confirmed the amount.

To finish, let’s remember that as of around 9PM last night (SA time), the Trump campaign was one win, and 29 losses, in post-election lawsuits since election day.

That number is expected to worsen, with an estimated 20 cases still before the court as of last night.

As much as you can talk nonsense at press conferences, and fire off tweets, in the court of law you need to produce evidence.

How’s that going? Watch the second video below:

The 29 cases that have been turfed out could not be reached for comment.
