Mango Mussolini's pardon- curious consigliere Rudy "Hands in Pants" Giuliani took his traveling cuckoo coup circus to Michigan yesterday to try to bully the Michigan House Oversight Committee into disenfranchising hundreds of thousands of Democratic voters in order to award the state's electoral votes to his pardon master. Judging from his star witness, and the questioning from at least one Republican representative, it didn't go so well (note how Rudy tries to control his own crackpot witness, starting at 0.33 sec.):

Another witness Rudy shook from the nut tree offered her completely non- racist views on voter i.d.:

These representative members of the Republican base seem to confirm some part of the description offered the other day of a party of "right wing religious wack jobs, you’re not the boss of me libertarians, new gilded age aspiring plutocrats, proud boy white supremacists, raging misogynist incels, and general free range sociopaths." Proud to be a Democrat.
BONUS: And, scene --
Hearing is wrapped up and Rudy is surrounded by people who seem to have come to the hearing straight from deer camp.
