Oh, this is a cute one.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton just filed all the proper papers with the United States Supreme Court to overturn the 2020 election.

Paxton, an outspoken advocate of President Donald Trump, claims the states “flooded their people with unlawful ballot applications and ballots” and ignored rules for how such ballots need to be counted, according to a press release announcing the litigation.

“Trust in the integrity of our election processes is sacrosanct and binds our citizenry and the States in this Union together,” Paxton said in the statement. “Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin destroyed that trust and compromised the security and integrity of the 2020 election.”

Now what Texas has to do with this, I dunno.  But, I known for a damn guaranteed fact what Ken Paxton, Attorney General of Texas, has to do with it.  He needs a pardon, in fact a couple of them and a blank form he can use in the future, and what better way to get Trump’s attention.

Paxton is currently under indictment for stock fraud and is currently being investigated by the FBI for bribery and abuse of office.

The bureau is probing allegations that Paxton broke the law by using the attorney general’s office to serve the interests of a political donor, two unnamed sources told the Associated Press.

All the top staff of his office has resigned, not because they were guilty but because he is.

It’s a cheap trick and it will probably work.  Paxton is so slick he can’t keep his socks up.

UPDATED!

Trump took note by retweeting it.

And here’s the video of him stealing another lawyer’s fountain pen that was an anniversary gift from his wife.

He returned it after the video showed up several months later and said he must have “accidentally” picked it up.

A retired Alabama state senator and former head of the state medical board of examiners has died of COVID.  His last words:

“We messed up. We let our guard down.  Please tell everybody to be careful. This is real, and if you get diagnosed, get help immediately.”

The senator, Larry Dixon, aged 78, contracted the disease at a social gathering, even held outside.  Several people were infected at that gathering.  Dixon’s wife is now also infected.  You can bet that no one at that gathering wore a mask.

History will not be kind to guys like Dixon and other Republicans who sided with politics and science denial rather than common sense and critical thinking.  Rudy Giuliani is paying that price right now as are many others who have chosen the religion of Trumpism and turned their back on science.

I don’t have any words.  Words are what I have done for a living my whole life. I just want to be very quiet and ponder if there’s every been a bigger goofball on this planet. And with the level of respect Newt Gingrich has given women in his life, my respect for Stacey Abrams just went up another level.

Joe Biden has won Georgia for the third time.  Isn’t that some kind of record?

“It’s been 34 days since the election on Nov. 3,” Raffensperger said at a news conference at the Georgia Capitol earlier in the day. “We have now counted legally cast ballots three times and the results remain unchanged.”

The recertification of the results amounted to a major blow toPresident Trump’s efforts to overturn the results of the presidential race. Trump has repeatedly refused to acknowledge his loss to Biden and has falsely claimed that the election outcome was marred by widespread voter fraud and systemic irregularities.

This is just a stab in the dark but I’m betting that Trump still isn’t accepting it.  Three’s the charm didn’t work so maybe four is the fix?

I watched the debates last night.  Bless Kelly Loeffler’s stone cold heart – she only had 6 answers memorized and if the question didn’t ask an answer she had memorized, it got one of the six she had filed in her stone cold brain.

I don’t mean to be tacky about her personal appearance except for the fact that I don’t believe it’s God’s fault. You gotta work to achieve that look.  The robotic smile between questions totally creeped me out. If she had been in my home doing that, I’d gently guide her to the front door, show her the porch, then slam the door and do the sign of the cross.  I do not know who does St. Peter’s job in hell, but I bet they look like Kelly Loeffler.

Then David Perdue doesn’t even show up to debate.  The man lies so much that he has to get his wife to call the dogs. Perdue uses his senate seat for boost his insider trading.  And just to be gender fair about this, he ain’t no Rock Hudson himself.  And the fact that he’s a sneaky little sumbitch also gives me the willies.

Glen says we are almost full staffed-up and will get our specific assignments soon.  I am so glad we all decided to do this.

Okay, here’s a weird expenditure from the Republican National Committee.

Well, Health Consulting doesn’t sound too outta line until you find out that they specialize in DNA testing to determine paternity.

Hummmm ….

Thanks to Alfredo over at the Dairy Queen for the heads up.
