Michigan AG Perfectly Shames Texas AG for Bonkers Lawsuit to Overturn the Election

Michigan AG Perfectly Shames Texas AG for Bonkers Lawsuit to Overturn the Election

Outgoing President Donald Trump persists in his furious denial of the reality that President-elect Joe Biden defeated him in the 2020 election.

With the President's lie-ridden tweets constantly the subject of Twitter fact checks and his legal team repeatedly losing in court, some of Trump's allies are looking to assist in the effort to undermine faith in the United States' democratic process and overturn the election's results.


Trump-loyal Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton did just that when he sued the swing states of Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Georgia on behalf of the Lone Star State.

Because the suit is between states across a number of regions, it's been filed directly with the Supreme Court.

Some of those who support Trump's efforts are confident the Texas lawsuit will be the one that somehow secures Trump another four years in office, but expert after expert has said it's unlikely that the Supreme Court will even grant the case standing.

Attorney General Dana Nessel, whose state of Michigan is one of the defendants in the suit, had some choice words for Paxton during an interview on MSNBC.

Watch below.

A visibly irritated Nessel told Paxton:

"It is so incredibly outrageous, and I will say this directly to General Paxton, if he's watching. You know who voted for you in Michigan, General Paxton? No one. Literally no one. So, stay in your lane, and stick to trying to disenfranchise voters in your own state. Don't come to mine."

She later shared the video on Twitter, adding that 2020 needs to be over soon.

In a time when many officials are treading lightly regarding the effort to subvert the vote, Nessel's unequivocal rebuke was much appreciated.






They also skewered Paxton and the 17 attorneys general from other states who've filed motions of support in the Texas case.



The suit is not expected to change the outcome of the election.

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.
