ANOTHER Trump Humiliation, Herschel Walker Loses
Raphael Warnock has defeated Herschel Walker in the Georgia Senate runoff election by a margin of 51.4% to 48.6%. This means that Democrats will increase their majority in the Senate from fifty seats to fifty-one, giving them more margin of error when it comes to things like confirming executive and judicial nominations. Warnock said in his victory speech, “it is my honor to utter the four most powerful words ever spoken in a democracy: the people have spoken.” Shortly before Warncok’s victory speech, Walker spoke to his supporters and conceded the race, saying running for office was the honor of a lifetime. Donald Trump responded to the election results on Truth Social, simply posting, “OUR COUNTRY IS IN BIG TROUBLE. WHAT A MESS!” This is another loss for a hand-picked Trumpian candidate and another lesson for Republicans that they will continue to lose so long as they have the failed former president as their leader.
BREAKING: Trump Org GUILTY on 17 Counts
The Trump Organization was found guilty on all seventeen counts of tax fraud and other financial crimes. It was determined that the Trump Org would give out unreported benefits to executives, including luxury apartment rents, car leases, and education expenses. The investigation previously resulted in a guilty plea from the company’s CFO Allen Weisselberg. He went on to participate in the probe but did not turn on Donald Trump himself. The penalties will likely be minor and any fines levied will be easily afforded by a company this large. Trump was not personally charged in this case, which seems like legal malpractice since it is believed he sanctioned some of the tax fraud. At the very least, the conviction of the company could provide material for Trump’s political opponents during his 2024 presidential campaign.

The Right's Sick Obsession with Hunter Biden
The right has a sick depraved obsession with Hunter Biden that really doesn’t make a whole lot of sense. Of all the people conservatives could focus their attention on in this country, they go with a person who doesn’t even hold political office. And while he is the son of the president, he doesn’t play any role in his father’s administration or campaigns. Despite this, the right believes Hunter’s past infractions and the “laptop from hell” are paramount issues in the country, such that they warrant numerous investigations by the incoming Republican-controlled House of Representatives. Perhaps right-wingers believe going after Hunter is the best way to go after Joe by proxy. But even that is falling flat since every revelation we’ve gotten about their relationship shows that Joe Biden really loves his son and expresses empathy for the troubles Hunter has gone through. Whatever justification they come up with, there are no signs of this obsession calming down anytime soon.

Kari Lake and Trump's Lawyer Now Have "A Lawsuit" in Arizona
Kari Lake appeared on Steve Bannon’s “War Room” show this week and declared that her team is ready to go forward with a lawsuit. The Arizona gubernatorial race has already been certified with Katie Hobbs as the winner since she got more votes, but Lake is pledging to keep up the fight. She said on Bannon’s program, “we've got more issues than we saw in 2020 in that sham election. We have just a blatant sabotaging of Election Day — a disrespected, disregarded disenfranchisement of Election Day voters. And if they sit there and sign their names to this sham certification, history will never forgive them. They will go down as three of the very worst in history.” Lake has delusions of grandeur to think that history would remember the three people certifying a governor’s race in Arizona. She also pretends to have any path forward in being able to overturn the election results, when there’s absolutely no shot of that happening.
