The Orange Menace pulls so much stupid shit on a daily basis that we can't possibly write individual posts about each incident. Here's yesterday's recap:
Climate Bizarre-Czar
Politico has reported that Ivanka Trump, also known as Daddy's Girl To the Point of Making Eyebrows Raise, is tapped to become the nation's next Climate Czar. Apparently under the delusion that detractors of Trumpel Thinskin will forget about his racism, misogyny, pathological lying, and Xenophobia as long as the planet is in better shape to be oppressed in, her role is to bridge the gaping divide between her father and the liberals who despise him. (Good luck with that.) According to the magazine, Ivanka "is now poised to be the first 'first daughter' in modern history to play a larger public role than the first lady."
Shocking. Really.

You Can't Use A Legal Email Server If You're A Woman, But Trading Classified Info For Sex Is "Really Great" If You Have A Penis
The Orange Imperial Wizard is considering disgraced former General David Petraeus for Secretary of State. Petraeus, in case you don't remember, was sentenced last year to two years probation and a fine of $100,000 for divulging classified information to his lover (and biographer) Paula Broadwell.
[Insert long-suffering sigh]
And Hillary Clinton did what wrong again? Hashtag DoubleStandardMuch?
At Least There's Some Good News
The anti-Trump coalition effort to go after the Electoral College is gaining momentum. If just 37 Republican electors refuse to cast their vote for Trump, it would be enough to force him below the 270 threshold needed to win the EC. Should they not vote for Clinton, the case would be remanded to the House of Representatives, thereby forcing congressional members to publicly dis/avow Trump. If the House votes in favor of Trump, I'm told a lawsuit will be filed that would go before the Supreme Court of the United States. The court, currently divided, has four liberal and four conservative justices. In the event of a tie, it is uncertain what precisely would happen. But I'm getting ahead of myself...
According to Politico, there is only one solid Republican commitment thus far, but David Pakman reported days before this article came out that his inside source has tallied the count of Hamilton Electors (legally termed "faithless electors") to 15 out of the needed 37.
Not a bad start, but we still have a long way to go. Whether or not anything comes of this last ditch effort remains to be seen, but until the Electoral College meets on December 19th... all hope is not lost.
