Mississippi Republican calls for his state to ‘succeed from the union’ after Biden victory
Actually, it'd be nice if they WOULD succeed...so they'd take less of all the federal taxes we pay.
Or secede. Either way.

He tries so hard because he knows he was the one conceived for spare parts in the event that any of the others need an organ donor.

And then there's Tommy Tuberville, of course.
The newly minted US Senator from Alabama used to be a 'football' coach. (You know, the game where you don't propel the ball with your foot.) Anyway he gave an interview to the Alabama Daily News. Among the gems:

and, talking about the current stalemate/tossing toys out of buggy (pram) situation:Yeah and that’s how our government was set up. You know, our government wasn’t set up for one group to have all three of branches of government. It wasn’t set up that way, our three branches, the House, the Senate and executive.
My memory must be failing because I don't recall those 30 days when Gore was president-elect.So, you know, the media has got to stand down on all of this because they’re creating so much havoc. I remember in 2000 Al Gore was president, United States, president elect, for 30 days – 30 days – and after 30 days, it got to the Supreme Court and the Supreme Court says, no, George Bush is going to be the president.

They didn't give subtitles for the bit I didn't understand. Bonkers. Batshit doesn't know about her - if it did it would be worried.

And to think that this guy defeated Doug Jones, a true hero whose accomplishments include the successful prosecution of two Ku Klux Klan members for the 1963 Birmingham church bombing that killed four African-American girls and the indictment of domestic terrorist Eric Rudolph.
Yikes, indeed.

Well my snarky Yikes! was a reference back to Sue’s- Big RR asked a question she’d only just answered lol.
But I do take your point and I’m sorry for Alabamans that they lost Doug Jones a really decent prosecutor and public servant.

That’s because Nazi = National Socialism (National Socialist German Workers' Party) and he was never taught or able to grasp the wider picture of history, political theory etc.

Re: You really, really, REALLY couldn't make this shit up
Mondale, in his debate with Reagan, 1984 right here in the fair city of Louisville, said: "I'm reminded a little bit of what Will Rogers once said of Hoover. He said it's not what he doesn't know that bothers me, it's what he knows for sure that just ain't so".
No-one has verified that quote, and Twain is supposed to have said something similar.
But it's more and more these days. People really really know shit that just is not true. Exhibit A - well you know what Exhibit A is.

Yes, I suppose I could agree with you ... but then we'd both be wrong, wouldn't we?
