Houston Republican Lacey Hull won the District 138 Texas House race by 2,000 votes out of 65,000.

When voters in District 138 went to the polls, what they did not know is that on the morning of November 3rd, Lacey’s husband filed for divorce, citing “Respondent has committed adultery” as one of the causes of the divorce. Texas has no-fault divorce so it was unnecessary to list the cause. But, there it is.
Lacey was endorsed by the Katy Christian Magazine and the president of the Eagle Forum.
The alleged partner in this broken vows is Cole Hefner, an East Texas state representative with seven children and a proud member of the South Jefferson Baptist Church.

Apparently it was known but kept quiet among some Republicans that this was coming. A few of her endorsers had their names removed from her endorsement list. Others didn’t know or didn’t care.
My friends over at Living Blue Texas have the whole story and all the paperwork. Job well done, guys.
To be honest, I am fed to my head with holier-than-thou stories coming from Republicans so when one shows their true colors and then hides it from voters to boot, I’m ready to call names.

Here’s two minutes of it.
I am blessed with friends who, if I had given that speech, would have stopped me a couple of minutes in and hollered at me to get off my pity pot, told me to drop the wine and the other whine, too, then put on my big girl panties and grab hold of reality by both ears and stay on that bull until the buzzer sounded.
I would have done because I have the best friends.
Donald Trump does not have friends like that. He’s never wanted friends who are willing to keep him from embarrassing himself in public, so … that explains it.
But, really, 46 minutes? You’d think somebody would have rushed in with an antidepressant 15 minutes in.

Carter Page.
Remember him?
He was about the screwiest guy on the Trump Caboose. I mean, this guy made all the rest of them look sane.
Last week, Page filed a $75 million dollar lawsuit against Jame Comey, Andrew McCabe, Kevin Clinesmith, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, Joe Pientka III, Stephen Somma, Brian J. Auten, the Department of Justice, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and for good measure, the United States of America for what he describes as ruining his life.
He’s got a lawyer and everything.

Think about it, though, $75 million would buy a whole lot of therapy. And everything in the Williams Sonoma catalog. Let me make it clear that I do not want everything in the Williams Sonoma catalog, I just want enough money to do it.
Thanks to Kary for the heads up.

Another contribution from Nick Carraway.
“When I got my masters in school counseling I took a few psychology classes. I know enough to be dangerous. I know all about Freud’s defense mechanisms and how many have attributed projection to the president. It makes perfect sense from a clinical standpoint, but I don’t necessarily buy it.
There is something else going on. Most people exist in shades of gray. We cut some corners here and hold fast to some rules there. So, most of us have some conception of people that behave with sinister intent and some that behave with pure intent. We therefore collect evidence and use that evidence to determine which is which.
Occasionally, you run into someone that is almost cartoonish in their level of evil or goodness. Therefore, they see the world through that prism. We’ve seen the president react that way to soldiers giving the ultimate sacrifice or others that give of themselves without expecting anything in return. It literally is a foreign concept to him.
It’s not projection. He literally cannot fathom someone doing anything on the up and up. So, anything that happens to him must be done by someone with equal malintent. That’s why the election has been stolen. That’s also why he has to sell anything that isn’t bolted down. He sells pardons. He sells favor. He sells access. Nothing can be done for its own sake. Heck, even his charity was just a piggy bank for himself.
So, when I heard about him selling pardons it just seemed so perfect. Why not? The church used to sell indulgences and you could make a half-hearted claim that the funds from those went to a good cause. Here is just more transactional greed. That’s why he connects so well with dictators. Every day I’m convinced more and more that this guy needs to go to jail.”

New York City just posted the mail-in absentee votes today.
And not surprisingly, they went convincingly for Biden. In Manhattan, Biden received 90% of the mail-in vote, 86% in The Bronx, 85% in Brooklyn, 81% in Queens, 63% in Staten Island. And NYC has a lot of ballots, so Joe got about 700K new votes (for exact totals, you can go to Dave Wasserman’s twitter feed).
As a result, Biden has surpassed 81M votes, has nearly a 7,000,000 vote lead over Trump, and Trump is now below 47% of the total vote (46.9% for Trump, 51.3% for Biden).
Everybody duck! Trump’s gonna do a tweet tsunami about how crooked that is.
It ain’t. He’s just not well liked in New York City and I cannot imagine why.
Just thought you’d want to know.

So after Trump told Republicans not to vote by mail, he lost Georgia. Roughly 24,000 Republicans who voted by mail in the state’s June primary didn’t cast ballots in the general election, probably because Trump told them not to vote by mail and undermined their trust in the entire voting system.
Biden got 300,000 more votes in mail-in ballots than Trump, and that’s been intensely verified three times. Those votes offset Trump’s election day victory.
So now, Republicans in Georgia are encouraging their people to vote by mail after Trump built a cottage industry off destroying any faith at all in voting by mail or trusting people who ask you to vote by mail. Yep, as we country folks say, he was hoisted by his own petard. And Honey, it’s been a blessing to see.
It’s likely that early January could be icy in Georgia. It’s also likely that Trump voters are going to listen to Trump, not Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger or Georgia Governor Brian Kemp – two men Trump has vilified repeatedly. So we could see another petard hoisted.
This might be fun.
Thanks to Henry for the heads up.
