Is the special master judge “biased and corrupt”?
Lawyer advertising
I fished this out of a website called “Good Liars,” who basically are a pair of guys who prank people who have it coming (hence the “good” in their moniker). No doubt Rudes won’t like this, but he can’t do anything about it, because he’s a public figure. Als[...]

Why Sen. Rubio is a political midget
Ring of Fire, a progressive website, alleges (here) that Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) is a “complete idiot.” I’m not sure I agree with that; part of him might not be an idiot, although right now I can’t say what it is. He’s not without smarts; he did graduate from a law scho[...]

Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), a GOP clown posing as a legislator, auditioned for American Idol under an alias in 2002 and was rejected following an awful performance (see story here).

Trump’s Pennsylvania rally featured a plea for jailed Nazi rioter
It’s election season, and Trump hit the campaign trail last week, with a rally in Pennsylvania (where his candidates for governor and U.S. Senate are getting their butts kicked in the latest polls). Cynthia Hughes, a featured speaker at the rally, made an impassioned plea on behalf of her neph[...]
Can Tiffany Smiley get 44% of the U.S. Senate vote?
One of Washington’s U.S. Senate seats is on the November 2022 ballot, and Tiffany Smiley is the GOP nominee. She was more or less anointed in the primary; all the other entries were nobodies, and none got 10% of her votes. She’s a political nobody, too, having never run for any public of[...]
