New York Post mourning the real victim of the Capitol Riot.
Spoiler Alert: It s Josh Hawley, whose social credit score has taken a nosedive this month.
Hmmmm, did
anything else happen this month, Senator?
In the cover story for a major tabloid catering to a city of eight million people with a nationwide online readership, Hawley explains why It s time to stand up against the muzzling of America. Because if there s anyone who s muzzled, it s a guy with his own press secretary and
carte blanche to air his bullshit on every Rupert Murdoch platform this side of the Atlantic. Everyone knows what a credit score is. But social credit scores are new, Hawley opens. They re the latest corporate import from Communist China, where government and big business monitor every citizen s social views and statements. Because when corporate donors exercise their right of association and quit subsidizing politicians who flogged the stop the steal fascist Big Lie about the presidential

Time for your Daily Coup Update! Because Your Wonkette will be tapping out splainers on the Previous Occupant s crazy schemes to illegally stay in office for a long, long time.
When last we left our villain, he had been introduced to devious Justice Department lawyer Jeffrey Clark by an unknown Pennsylvania politician. That you, Scott Perry? we wondered. And we were right. (Whodathunkit, right?) The
New York Times confirms it was indeed that very GOP Pennsylvania congressman who hooked Donald Trump up with Clark, the (acting) head of the Civil Division, where they hatched a plot to shove aside (acting) Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen, Clark s former mentor at Kirkland & Ellis, and use the DOJ s authority to force Georgia to throw out its electoral votes based on spurious charges of fraud.

Last night the
New York Times revealed that Trump came very close to deploying the Justice Department to stage an electoral coup on New Year s Eve, and only threats by the entire DOJ leadership to resign
en masse put him off it. Which puts us in the very awkward position of thanking our lucky stars for those filthy sumbitches who enabled the corruption of the last four years but, finally, in the end, discovered something they weren t willing to do.
SLOW CLAP.
In a story since confirmed by the Washington Post, the
Times s Katie Benner reported that Jeffrey Clark, the (acting) head of the DOJ s Civil Division, schemed to shiv (acting) Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen and get himself installed in the top spot. From which perch Clark would then launch a plan to get the electoral votes in Georgia thrown out by announcing a fictional investigation of electoral irregularities in the state.

Broadly speaking, the post-election litigation can be divided into two buckets: 1) the Kraken batshit fraud claims, which sometimes put on their party dresses and pretend to be legit challenges to signature matching technology; and 2) the suits that allege state officials unconstitutionally usurped the power of state legislatures to govern electoral procedures. The Kraken suits get oxygen from the wingnut media hyping their nonsense claims 24-7. But the more reasonable cases are predicated on a pair of pre-election decisions where Justices Alito, Thomas, Kavanaugh and Gorsuch signaled they might be willing to start invalidating state court interpretations of election law because state legislatures are the elections REAL DADDY.

Friends, we ve found the craziest lawsuit this election cycle. We may have found the craziest lawsuit of
any election cycle. The Thomas More Society, an anti-abortion public interest law firm, is suing THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE to overturn the results of the presidential election. But, like, how???? you are probably wondering. The Electoral College isn t a person or company. How do you sue a random day in December when electors meet in all fifty state capitals and cast their ballots for the presidency? Where do you even send a process server to let Mr. Electoral College know he s being sued?
