Breyer Foils McConnell’s Plans: Those plans weren’t even secret. McConnell baldly stated last summer that he was “highly unlikely” to allow Biden to fill a vacancy in 2024, should the Senate revert to Republican control in these midterms. He added that he might just refuse to hold hearings in 2023 as well, should a vacancy come […]

Not all enemies of the constitution wear Gravy Seals cosplay costumes. Some wear nice suits and expensive ties.

(CNN)Federal prosecutors are reviewing fake Electoral College certifications that declared former President Donald Trump the winner of states that he lost, Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco told CNN on Tuesday.

“We’ve received those referrals. Our prosecutors are looking at those and I can’t say anything more on ongoing investigations,” Monaco said in an exclusive interview.
The fake certificates falsely declaring Trump’s victory were sent to the National Archives by Trump’s allies in mid-December 2020. They have attracted public scrutiny amid the House’s January 6 investigation into the pressure campaign that sought to reverse Trump’s electoral defeat.

Yeah, I know, the guy is probably suffering from something worse than PTSD, but how could I resist? Besides, I like the song, even if I think Perry Farrell is an odd duck. This video was all over MTV when it came out in 1990 on “Ritual de lo Habitual,” and the song stayed big […]

Jerry Falwell Jr. Cuckold Fetish Rumors Watch Wrap Up – Coda

When you think this is all wrapped up, the consummate attention whores go out whoring for more attention.  In this episode Jerry and Becki streisand effect themselves in an interview with Vanity Fair. I will probably not read that interview, but get a load of this nugget:

“Because of my last name, people think I’m a religious person. But I’m not,” Falwell Jr., 59, told Vanity Fair in the interview,.
