Former Trump Lawyer Gets Dragged After Condemning Pro-Trump Coup

The months between Election Day of 2020 and Inauguration Day of 2021 should have been rather mundane—a lame duck period after years of a grueling election cycle.

Thanks to former President Donald Trump, it was anything but.


Trump repeatedly—and delusionally—insisted the 2020 election was "stolen" from him by Democrats engaging in widespread election fraud. His team held chaotic hearings, bumbling press conferences, and filed frivolous lawsuits, none of which proved widespread fraud.

But even after Trump's own Justice Department said there was no evidence of election fraud, the former President and his ilk continued to push the big lie, which culminated in a deadly failed insurrection against the United States Capitol that endangered every member of Congress along with Trump's own Vice President.

One of the major purveyors of the big lie in those chaotic months was Trump campaign lawyer Jenna Ellis, who—along with Trump's personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani—became the public face of the effort to overturn the results of the 2020 election.

Ellis condemned the violence at the time, but continues to make the rounds on far-right podcasts and media outlets, still blaring support for Trump and standing by her earlier claims of widespread fraud.

But on Friday, after she pushed back against delusional claims from pro-Trump pillow salesman Mike Lindell that Trump could be reinstated to the White House, Ellis got pushback from Trump supporters.

She condemned one follower who said that Trump supporters should put him back in the White House by any means necessary—even beyond the bounds of the Constitution.

Ellis referred to that as "insane."

Ellis spent months propping up lies that the election was stolen and that American elections were not to be trusted. The man she represented told his supporters to "fight like hell" to keep him in power despite the Constitutional process.

What did she expect?






She faced further backlash from Trump supporters for not endorsing a coup.



Yikes.

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.
