Open post Greg Burns @gregsbrain@mstdn.social · 3w ago Replying to @MaryAustinBooks@mstdn.social Some guy named Nicholas Wilson, REPRESENTING HIMSELF, just got Trump's #DOJ to admit that #Trump lost the 2020 election. After six years of Trump claiming he won in 2020, this dude called Trump's bluff and said "Okay, you won three times? That violates the 22nd Amendment. You're not eligible to be president." The DOJ was forced to state the truth to have the case thrown out. 💀 USDOJ 0, Random Guy 1 https://law.justia.com/cases/federal/district-courts/california/caedce/2:2025cv02086/468486/41/ @MaryAustinBooks@mstdn.social and the earth is still not flat
