Outgoing President Donald Trump continues to double down on his lies that widespread election fraud coordinated by Democrats tipped the 2020 presidential election to President-elect Joe Biden.

Trump's own Justice Department found no evidence of fraud that could've changed the outcome of the election. His own election security officials touted this year's election as "the most secure in U.S. history." Every state has certified its results and cast its electoral votes. Trump has repeatedly lost every effort to overturn the results through litigation.


Nevertheless, a number of Republican congressmembers have vowed to object to congressional certification on January 6, when Vice President Mike Pence will oversee a joint session of Congress for acknowledgment of the results.

But with so many Republican lawmakers seeking to invalidate the election due to so-called fraud, their logic forces questions about the integrity of their own elections.

Congressman Chip Roy (R-TX) highlighted this dissonance on Sunday, when he announced his objection to the seating of representatives from Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin—Trump's primary targets of election fraud lies.

Interestingly enough, Roy was the former Chief of Staff to Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX), who's spearheading the effort to overturn presidential election results in the Senate.

Roy said it would "confound reason" for Republican congressional victories to go unscrutinized while the presidential election's integrity was called into question.





While Democrats won the presidential election, they faced steeper hurdles in the congressional elections. Democrats lost seats in the House of Representatives and the two runoff elections in Georgia this week will determine whether the party gains a functional majority in the Senate.

Critics of Trump's voter fraud lies frequently ask, if Democrats orchestrated election fraud as Trump claims, why they wouldn't grant themselves a majority in the House and Senate as well.

Roy's move reinforced this point, and Twitter supported it.






People were surprised to find themselves agreeing with him.



One thing is for certain: January 6th is going to be an eventful day in American politics.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
