Warnock Wins!
So, yeah. Trump Enterprises (or whatever) was found guilty. What does it mean? Nothing? Trump, the smartest, most hands on business genius, had no knowledge of anything his devious Jewish accountant was up to.
In other Trump News:
“Do you throw the Presidential Election Results of 2020 OUT and declare the RIGHTFUL WINNER, or do you have a NEW ELECTION? A Massive Fraud of this type and magnitude allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution,”
That’s a hell of a campaign message. I’m starting to think that we wont have Trump to drive Dem turnout in two years.
Meet a future Republican Senate candidate from the Garden State:
Shannon Epstein, the 25-year-old niece of former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R), was arrested in an extremely dramatic, combative event at Louis Armstrong International Airport in New Orleans on November 24 after being kicked off her plane. The Times-Picayune reports that Epstein had asked a family she perceived to be Latino on her flight if they were “smuggling cocaine.” (The family has not been identified.) When airline workers decided to remove her from the flight and the plane returned to the gate, she became “increasingly irate,” and the incident escalated at the airport.
When deputies tried to arrest Epstein at the airport, she fought back. Per the Times-Picayune:
In the scuffle, she injured six deputies, biting one of the arm and breaking the skin, and kicking another in the groin, Rivarde said. They were treated there by paramedics.
All the while, Epstein shouted that the deputies were going to lose their jobs or end up in jail, boasting that she was related to powerful people and that her uncle is a friend of former President Donald Trump, Rivarde said. Chris Christie did not return messages left Friday at two telephone numbers associated with him. – Via LGM
Nobody caring about your dumb bullshit is exactly the same thing as censorship, I guess.
Big Tech Destroyed the 1st Amendment by Censoring Lappy ™ Stories […except for the 2,854 stories about Lappy ™ that they somehow didn’t censor in the three weeks prior to the 2020 election]
I just did a quick check and there were TWO THOUSAND EIGHT HUNDRED AND FIFTY-FOUR stories published about Hunter Biden’s laptop in the three weeks prior to the 2020 election.
In case you’re wondering this is not hyperbole: This is the exact number in the Lexis news data base, which of course is not comprehensive, so the real number is higher.
BTW I still don’t know why anyone is supposed to care about the contents of Hunter Biden’s laptop, which I guess means that Big Tech’s Media Censorship is actually working after all.
And a Happy Delaware Day too!
Ted Cruz’ daughter attempted suicide:

“Ted Cruz’ daughter attempted suicide”. And do you blame her? As for Lappy…. Well, still nothing and I suspect absolutely nothing going forward. Be honest, if there was anything remotely useful for the Republicans it would have been shouted, screamed and lied about non stop. Ain’t a dysfunctional government fun?
And as a suicide survivor i am hoping this child needs to get the help she needs regardless of parentage, straight up.
Dial 988 or share the number if you or anyone needs help.
With every passing day, this seems less likely to happen, but after these Supreme Court arguments from cake makers and web designers about how serving certain customers would violate some personal right, I got to thinking:
What happens if Trump were to get elected and the Chief Justice declares that administering the oath of office to someone who wants to rip up the Constitution would violate his own oath of office? Who sues first? Who hears the case? Do we have Jan. 6 2.0 on the steps of the Supreme Court?
Part of me says this is fantasyland, and another part of me says nothing is so far-fetched as to be impossible. Just thinking of it may be a sign that I’ve got too much time on my hands, but I’m struggling to imagine how such a scenario might play out.
Roberts would administer the oath of office to a ham sandwich.
