'A Trump advisor who promised to eat his shoe if Biden won is refusing to do it, citing debunked election-fraud claims'

A Trump campaign advisor who promised to eat his shoe if Joe Biden won the election is now refusing to do so, falsely claiming that former President Donald Trump won instead.

Harlan Hill, a political consultant and commentator, made the bold promise to a reporter for The Atlantic at Steve Bannon's election-night party.

Hill said he was "one hundred percent" certain of Trump's victory. When asked what he would do if Trump lost, he said: "I'll eat my shoe. We'll do it in a livestream."

After Biden's inauguration, Mediaite followed up on Hill's plans. Hill told Mediaite that "Trump won."

Hill has held this position for a while. In tweets after the election, he suggested, falsely, that Biden's win was rigged by the Democratic Party.

"Democratic mob bosses have stolen an election and undermined the democratic process," he tweeted on December 2.

"Trump was robbed," he tweeted on December 15.

All it would need is to be shredded finely, then add a dollop of really hot sauce...

He obviously can't stand it when the boot is on the other foot.

That's her schtick. She owns a gun themed restaurant called Shooters Grill, where the waitresses are armed.

It is appropriately located in Rifle, Colorado.

I can't tell if you're joking.

I'd feel more hopeful if I were.

The evidence continues to show that the Republican Party has set a course for autocracy and minority rule.

'Arizona GOP lawmaker introduces bill to give Legislature power to toss out election results'

The Republican chair of Arizona's state House Ways and Means Committee introduced a bill Wednesday that would give the Legislature authority to override the secretary of state’s certification of its electoral votes.

GOP Rep. Shawnna Bolick introduced the bill, which rewrites parts of the state's election law, such as sections on election observers and securing and auditing ballots, among other measures.

One section grants the Legislature, which is currently under GOP control, the ability to revoke the secretary of state's certification "by majority vote at any time before the presidential inauguration."

"The legislature may take action pursuant to this subsection without regard to whether the legislature is in regular or special session or has held committee or other hearings on the matter."

A request for comment from Arizona's secretary of state was not immediately returned.

There is one spending bill allowed a year. Only there was no 2020 bill. So Democrats get two. No point debating the price tag or adding amendments.

It appears that Ted Cruz played fast and loose with campaign finance laws. He published a book in September, then his campaign bought $150,000 worth of books (not specified) from a wholesaler. His campaign then offered signed copies of his book in exchange for donations of $77. All very well, but to be legal the campaign would have had to buy the books from the publisher (thus not affecting bestseller lists) and then donate any royalty payments for those books to charity. His campaign finance statement doesn't show any such offsetting charitable contributions.

He's not a Republican messiah, just a very naughty boy...

I heard this today and it made my eyes water: hang his dangling balls coated in honey over a red ants nest.

You mention genitalia. Here is a more likely scenario:
