I love the “Grift Shop” - including the Melania Christmas Tree ornament and the “Grab a p\*\*\*y” cookies! They put a lot of love into this!

It was not a problem for him; he simply took credit for it.

Parler is not handling the SCOTUS rejection of their hero’s last, desperate, hope very well…

You know, if a person had some time in their hands, like if they were up late unable to sleep on a Friday night, that person could download Parler, set up an account with a MAGA name and make numerous posts about “succession” and “Marshall law” — or maybe posts that suggest that with enough write-in votes, Trump could become Senate Majority leader. And he should because Mitch betrayed him by lying about the judges and recommending disloyal hacks.

Because if you write him in for _ **both** _ seats, he can’t lose, it’s mathematically impossible, because of the way the Georgia election law is worded.  
But the Republicans and Democrats both are suppressing this fact. But this is the way forward. Someone just needs to make sure everyone knows this and that’s why we have Parler.

It was a real pleasure hearing Stacey Abrams announcing 16 electoral votes from GA going to Biden. It was rebroadcast on CBC news.

Judge: _(deliberately)_ Have you in fact got any evidence of election fraud here at all?

Rudy: Yes,sir.

Judge: Really?

_(pause)_

Rudy: No. Not really, sir.

Judge: You haven’t.

Rudy: No sir. Not a scrap. I was deliberately wasting your time,sir.

Judge: Well I’m sorry, but I’m going to have to shoot you.

Rudy: Right-0, sir.

_(The judge takes out a gun and shoots the attorney)_

Judge: What a senseless waste of human life.
