From the 'You Can't Make This Shit Up' file:
Trump Lawyer Freudian Slip
Quote:A lawyer who filed a lawsuit challenging Georgia’s election process is attracting attention because of a typo near the end of the complaint.
The verification paragraph said the lawyer verifies “under plenty of perjury” that the facts in the suit are true and correct. The phrase should read “under penalty of perjury.”...
The lawyer responsible for the “under plenty of perjury” typo is L. Lin Wood Jr. of Atlanta. His typo was in a Dec. 18 lawsuit that he filed on his own behalf as a Georgia voter. He filed an amended verification to correct the typo Dec. 19.

Really, what is wrong with these people?
Quote:Ted Cruz says Senate won't let Biden do his job unless Trump's OK with it
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) plans to obstruct every one of President-elect Joe Biden's Cabinet confirmations unless Donald Trump concedes.
Trump, of course, has vowed never to do so.
Other Senate Republicans have also reportedly indicated that they hope to obstruct some or all of Biden's appointees. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell reportedly would only allow votes on picks he deems acceptable. Homeland Security and Government Affairs chair Ron Johnson (WI) also also suggested to Axios this week that until "some pretty troubling irregularities" about the 2020 election are explained, he might also try to block confirmations.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

They still have their head there. The best thing for Democrats right now is for Trump to continue what he’s been doing. The best thing for Republicans would be for Trump to concede and stop the nonsense.
The Post want Trump to move on solely as a way to further damage Joe Biden.

McConnell blocks Democrats’ attempt to quickly approve $2,000 stimulus checks amid pressure on GOP to act (msn.com)
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Tuesday blocked consideration of a House bill that would deliver $2,000 stimulus payments to most Americans — spurning a request by President Trump even as more Senate Republicans voiced support for the dramatically larger checks.
So, Bitch McConnell is even more wishy-washy than Trump.
What a damn cluster.

And yet they squabble about throwing crumbs to struggling folks while unloading dump trucks of cash on their wealthy pals and themselves.
