A quick story about bloodlust, QAnon and Facebook:
There's a picture going Facebook right now that refers to the 10 Days of Darkness.
Some Q people believe Trump is still in power and has been secretly executing the Deep State for the last 10 days in front of the White House.The viral QAnon picture shows the new security fencing around the White House, then places a real picture of gallows that kinda-sorta look like the same infrastructure.
I'm not going to zoom in on the gallows, because that's a real hanging.The QAnon people used a photo from a Kuwaiti execution in 2013.
They stole these images to claim this is the Deep State being hanged by Donald Trump's secret government in front of the White House, which has QAnon people ecstatic.

To think Trump criticized Powell for her team’s typos and called them “embarrassing”.

Those are NOT typos in Trump's impeachment defense brief. They are just . . . alternative spellings.

Actually Oxford commas apply only to a list of MORE than 2 items. In this case there are only 2 items (people), so no commas should be used. ALSO, no comma should go before Jr. - Castor apparently can’t even type up his own name properly.

Keep this between us: I’m going to rob a bank tomorrow and leave my address at the scene. Then I’m going to move. Why has no one thought of this before?

Someone pointed out to me last night that Lin Wood, representing Lin Wood, filed this election lawsuit and wrote “under PLENTY of perjury” that the facts are true, instead of “penalty.”
Can’t make this up. https://t.co/rW9eWZpu4l

Mehdi Hasan:
There has been this talk about a civil war within the Republican Party, with Trump and people like Marjorie Taylor Greene and Matt Gaetz and Ted Cruz on one side, and on the other side, people like Liz Cheney and Senator ben Basse, who stand for the more traditional GOP. But talk of such a war implies that there are two more-or-less equal sides. And this isn't that kind of war. It's more of a rout. The Trumpists won.
A recent The Hill/HarrisX poll asked GOP voters: "Would you join a new Trump political party?" 64% said Yes.
Hasan called Greene "a professional troll who happens to have been elected to a job in government that she doesn't particularly want". She said she was happy to have been removed from two committees "because it would be a waste of my time. . . . Now I have a lot of free time on my hands."
