The GOP and far right media have finally managed to completely break the democracy.

I don’t think there’s a way back now.

It would be funny if it weren't true. Republicans want a healthcare system that extracts any remaining wealth from the lower classes and then allows them to die when they cease to be economically useful.

Heather Cox Richardson's latest letter is scary - imagine putting into electoral legislation in Texas, a section actually entitled "Overturning elections":

What's going on? Has the incidence of Trumpism allowed these people openly to be total villains and get away with it?

Sweaty Fartpants' law license has been suspended for lying about election fraud. I know this is is paywalled but I'm sure the news will appear elsewhere soon.

I’m conflicted over this news. On the one hand, Giuliani has this coming to him, but on the other hand, it means Trump will have to get a different (by definition, better) lawyer.

I heard that, pardon?
Better lawyers agreeing to take Trump as a client is a stretch. He already had shivers up his finger nails scraping the bottom of the barrel, when he ended up with Rudy and Sid.

Rudy Giuliani Has Been Suspended From Practicing Law In New York
Giuliani's suspension order cites his "demonstrably false and misleading statements" about the 2020 election.
Rudy Giuliani, former New York City mayor, has been suspended from practicing law in New York state for spreading lies about the election as a lawyer for former president Donald Trump.
In an order suspending Giuliani on Thursday, the appellate division of the New York Supreme Court that covers Manhattan wrote that it found “uncontroverted evidence” that Giuliani “communicated demonstrably false and misleading statements to courts, lawmakers and the public at large” to suggest that “victory in the 2020 United States presidential election was stolen from his client.”

I hadn't realised that Trump had moved to Bristol:
'But the frequency of Wiles' appearances, as well as her overall involvement, has also decreased since Trump relocated to Bedminster for the summer, according to one of the people involved with his operation.'
Bedminster wouldn't be my first choice for a summer vacation. Still, takes all sorts I suppose. I think there's a golf course nearby, anyway.

I presume that, in Rudi's case, "practicing" means "doing something repeatedly in the hope that one day he'll get it right".

Unicorns fart glitter.
The boot polish hair dye running down his face , the fake witness /actress testifying to imaginary voting machine fraud, the press conference at the back door- loading bay of a landscaping business sandwiched between a porno cinema and a crematorium- it was the greatest movie Mel Brooks never made.

Bedminster is the birth place of all those lovely old Radford valve amps, the Radford Electronics metal works facility was located on British Road, the road that goes strait ahead from East St up past the "London Inn" public house on the corner of West St Bedminster, fyi.
Old school building now demolished and site redeveloped.
