It’s fairly the distinction this week in courtroom between the nationwide and native Republicans.
President Trump is on a roll proper now, because the Supreme Courtroom knocks down one unconstitutional virtue-signaling overreach after one other by these lunatic DEI lower-court federal judges.
In the meantime, again right here in Massachusetts, the dropping simply doesn’t cease for Jim “Jones” Lyons and his Kool Assist Kult of Massachusetts Republican losers.
The extra Donald Trump wins in courtroom, the extra the native crackpots get slapped down. With the distinction after all being that Trump is battling over vital points, whereas the Kool Assist Kult is litigating petty mood tantrums that hardly rise to the extent of nonsense.
For 4 years right here in Massachusetts, from 2019 to 2023, Lyons’ hapless crew of toothless knuckleheads couldn’t win a single contested election, not one.
By the point Lyons and his historic crew of over-the-hill clowns have been ejected from the occasion management, the Mass GOP was almost bankrupt and crippled by assorted felony and civil probes.
Since then, certainly one of their prime leaders has been convicted of welfare fraud and revenue tax evasion.
However Jim Jones Lyons simply refuses to come back out along with his fingers up. How can we miss him when he received’t go away?
He’s turned across the previous saying of NFL proprietor Al Davis, who all the time mentioned, “Simply win, child!”
Jim Jones Lyons says, “Simply lose, child!”
First he misplaced his personal political workplace, as a state rep. Then he misplaced everyone else’s workplace, at the very least in the event that they have been Republicans.
Now Lyons has switched gears, and he loses one frivolous, preposterous lawsuit after one other – two within the final 10 days alone.
This week, Superior Courtroom Decide Paul Wilson tossed out a lawsuit Lyons filed years in the past towards a number of Republicans who had dedicated what the Kult considers the last word sin in politics – they wished to win elections.
It includes, I feel, one thing a couple of GOP metropolis committee vote within the metropolis of Boston in Ward 15, which is Dorchester. Republicans in Dorchester! In different phrases, it was a meaningless battle. However aren’t all of them, in relation to Jim Jones Lyons?
“Within the criticism,” the choose writes, “Mr. Lyons alleges that the Defendants had a plan to painting him as ‘a racist, a bigot and anti-Asian,’ though the Grievance doesn’t allege that Defendants really ever mentioned such issues to anyone at any time….”
There was one thing printed within the Boston Globe, apparently, though the choose appears puzzled that if what was mentioned towards him was so horrible, why “Mr. Lyons has not put it earlier than me.”
Jim Jones Lyons additionally solely claimed that the false narrative “was launched” to the Globe – no point out of any of the particular perpetrators, or how two defendants specifically “mentioned something to anyone about that ‘false narrative.’”
The choose not solely tossed the case, however ordered Lyons to pay attorneys’ charges. Good luck with that one, defendants!
Lyons has all the time set himself up as untouchable, legally, past the attain of anybody. As one lawyer making an attempt to sue him again in 2002 put it, when Lyons was solely 48 years previous:
“He has no – no pay, no gross revenue, no banks, no…. He’s not a beneficiary of any belief, he says. He has no curiosity in any way in any actual property, any conversions, any leasehold. He has no real interest in any enterprise… He has no shares… He has no autos. He has no real interest in any pension, profit-sharing plan. In essence, he has no revenue of any variety and no bills of any variety and has had none of that for the final 5 years….”
However since nobody can accumulate towards him, there’s no draw back for Lyons to file foolish lawsuits.
This week’s case was thrown out beneath the state’s “anti-SLAPP statute.” SLAPP stands for “Strategic Lawsuit Towards Public Participation,” that means that the choose discovered that Lyons was making an attempt to retaliate towards his fellow Republicans due to political variations.
That’s, they wished to win elections, and for Jim Jones Lyons, that won’t stand.
Ten days earlier, he had one other case tossed, this one by Decide Kenneth Salinger. Lyons was making an attempt, I feel, to intervene within the case of the state auditor making an attempt to audit the Basic Courtroom.
Chances are you’ll be asking, what does a failed, aged politician who couldn’t get elected dogcatcher must do with this case?
The reply, the choose dominated, is nothing. In a nine-page determination, the phrase “standing” was talked about at the very least 37 occasions, normally preceded by both “no” or “lacks.”
Right here’s a pattern:
“Mr. Lyons doesn’t have authorized standing to carry these claims…. Until he can present that he has authorized standing…. Mr. Lyons can’t remedy his lack of standing… He subsequently doesn’t have standing….”
And so forth.
“Mr. Lyons alleges no details suggesting that he suffered or probably will endure any private hurt because of a violation of any authorized obligation….”
As chairman of the state GOP, Lyons’ loser de camp was Geoff “DoorDash” Diehl, an Uber driver of some minor renown in Larger Brockton. Whereas Lyons simply can’t cease dropping, it must be famous that certainly one of Diehl’s closest political allies just lately did prevail in a felony case in Essex County.
That might be Russell Morris, who’s contributed at the very least $800 to DoorDash, and has been photographed on social media with each Diehl and his newest (failed) marketing campaign supervisor, Amanda Orlando. Morris final fall had little one rapes charged towards him dismissed.
Right here is the nolle prosequi determination by the district lawyer dismissing all rape expenses towards the Gloucester Republican.
“(The state) doesn’t consider it could be in the perfect pursuits of the alleged sufferer emotionally or mentally to testify on this matter. The Commonwealth is unable to proceed with out the testimony of the alleged sufferer.”
So the Kool Kult Assist doesn’t lose each authorized battle. However then there’s ex-state Sen. Dean Tran of Fitchburg, a naturalized American citizen who loses elections nearly as usually as DoorDash Diehl.
As he appeals his current conviction in federal courtroom on COVID welfare fraud and revenue tax evasion, Tran has one more trial on federal felony expenses starting July 28 on the Moakley Courthouse.
So look on the intense aspect, Kool Assist Kult. Your man Tran could have half the summer season to take pleasure in earlier than he’s doubtlessly convicted of one other batch of felonies within the federal courtroom.
As for Jim Jones Lyons, how do you assume he’s going to do along with his subsequent case towards, who’s it this time, the Workplace of Marketing campaign and Political Finance (OCPF)?
To sum all of it up, right here’s how the GOP courtroom battles are going:
Donald J. Trump, WINNING!
Jim Jones Lyons, LOSING!
