The devil wears sweatpants

 I see we haven't looked at the world of fashion here -- ever.  Big doings, even if nobody leaves the house even to work anymore, and many of us have been in bathrobes longer than Hugh Hefner.  It's not my area but here we go:

K Tyson Perez of HardWear Style has accused Givenchy of stealing his design for a leather hat.  Not a new one, one from 2013.  "This shit has to end," he says according to the Guardian, which unforgivably does not include a photo of said hat.  All leather hats look alike to me.  I think I owned a straw hat once but it kept falling off.

Angela Davis is launching her own fashion line at age 76, in conjunction with the Los Angeles label Renowned LA.  The logo to be featured on shirts and hoodies is "We not asking no more" and part of the proceeds go to appropriate causes.  

Best not to wear your Angela Davis hoodie with a kilt for now.  The Verillas kilt has unfathomably been adopted by Trump's favorite thugs the Proud Boys, and the company is not happy.  "Disgusted to see members of 'Proud Boys,' a fascist terrorist [organization] wearing our products," they tweeted.  Verillas, which is LGBTQ+-owned, retaliated with a contribution to the NAACP.  I'm sorry but I find the yellow and black garment butt-ugly (sorry) no matter who wears it.  But if your political program looks best on your ass, be my guest.

Were you a lucky recipient of the 2020 White House Christmas card?  Where Melania and the one-term loser are grinning on a staircase in matching pants suits?  Good, then I don't have to link to it.

I think that's enough from the runway.  It's time to play "What Scares Lou Dobbs?"  The answer is a twenty-page letter from a law firm to Fox News demanding a retraction of last week's lies about the election tech company Smartmatic.  The walk-back was shown on Dobbs's show, "Justice With Judge Jeanine" and Maria Bartiromo's "Sunday Morning Futures."  Trump wishes he could find lawyers as effective as Smartmatic's, but there's only so much you can do when your client has no case.

Readers will recall that the Pompeos' Christmas party was cancelled because the wait staff outnumbered the guests, but when your address is 1600 Black Lives Matter Plaza, it's a different story.  Even Brian Kemp and his daughter showed up on Friday night so the "so-called Republican" could be abused in person for failing to rig the election for Trump.  I assume.  It's not clear if the host even stopped sulking and greeted his guests, or if he was hashing out coup plans with Powell, Flynn and Giuliani.

Sure, they talk about it, but here's someone who's taking action, damn it:  Retired Houston cop Mark Aguirre, who forced a truckload of air conditioner parts off the road because he was certain it contained fake ballots.  It was sheer luck that the driver wasn't killed.  Something about getting children to sign the ballots because their fingerprints can't be traced...I gave up halfway through.  This guy is cabinet material for the second Trump term, or possibly the third.   Otherwise, I suggest an insanity plea.
