Every time a court dismisses one of Team Trump’s lawsuits, they set up another, with one currently taking place in Michigan, where the President’s lawyers are attempting to have large amounts of ballots discounted.
One witness, IT worker and whistleblower Melissa Carone, whose testimony had already been dismissed by the judge as lacking credibility, had another attempt at persuading the court that she had seen Joe Biden ballots rescanned several times.
Judge Kenny said of Melissa Carone's affidavid: "Ms. Carone’s description of the events at the TCF Center does not square with any of the other affidavits… The allegations simply are not credible." — Joshua Pugh (@JPughMI) December 3, 2020
This clip gives a hint at her rambling style of giving ‘evidence’.

But the follow-up really ramped up the belligerence.

After the good news that the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine had been licensed for use, several MPs took to Twitter to share the same piece of information.
Health Secretary, Matt Hancock also claimed that Brexit had allowed the UK to give approval before the EU.
There was just one slight problem.
The regulator seems to disagree with Hancock. Matt Hancock – “Because we’ve left the EU, we’ve been able to move faster."

As you’ll know by now, the UK has become the first western nation to approve a Covid-19 vaccine, with the first wave due to be rolled out this week.
Comedian Bill Burr gave a ‘shout out’ to the UK (well, a bit of it) on Twitter but one of his fellow countryman appeared to be less than impressed.
And we’re glad he did because the comeback made everyone’s day better. Well, apart from his.

Who doesn’t love a good optical illusion? They’re the quickest and safest way to mess with your minds, and all from the comfort of your own home.
Below we’ve rounded up some of the best illusions we’ve encountered over on Twitter. Enjoy.
1. Other than the one at the end, all of the figures remain still in this image and are simply changing colour:
This may be the strongest optical illusion I’ve ever seen.pic.twitter.com/J8fCqbQUJ1 — Siqi Chen (@blader) November 22, 2020
2. Beleive it or not, all of the horizontal lines are straight and completely parallel in this image:
3. This one may take a while, but once you spot the circles in the image it’s difficult to unsee them:
This is called the ‘Coffer Illusion’.
In the image there are 16 circles. Can you see them? The illusion works because of our brain's tendency to want to see closed shapes, and because of its interpretation of the vertical versus the horizontal stripes. pic.twitter.com/oCmVqDCWkh — Bernie'sTweets (@berniespofforth) April 19, 2020
4. Start by looking at the dancer in the middle:
The Spinning Dancer is a kinetic, bistable optical illusion resembling a pirouetting female dancer. If you look at the left image, all 3 dancers will rotate clockwise. But if you look at the right image, all 3 dancers will rotate counterclockwise https://t.co/Db7DwTnvUB pic.twitter.com/JYb8WW9wXy — Massimo (@Rainmaker1973) September 30, 2018
5. Another classic example of how changing colours make static shapes appear to be moving:
The perptual diamond: The diamond remains fixed in one place but appears to move up, down, left, or, right. See how far away you can be from your screen before the effect goes away. From https://t.co/XRFKTtjOfm pic.twitter.com/af7BOUCvfC — Arthur Shapiro (@agshapiro2) June 2, 2019
6. This illusion plays with our perception of colour:
All the balls are the same color — and that color is *brown*! pic.twitter.com/JriPXHnNYR — Chaz Firestone (@chazfirestone) June 14, 2019
7. A headache-inducing image that constantly seems to be changing before your very eyes:
There are 12 black dots on this image, but your brain won't let you see them all at once. pic.twitter.com/xmYBDrrbtL — Vala Afshar (@ValaAfshar) May 26, 2018
8. The circles in this graphic remain in the same position and at the same size throughout:
9. And finally, this award-winning illusion will leave you mistified:
Is it rotating vertically or horizontally? Clockwise or counterclockwise? This optical illusion created by game developer & artist Frank Force features a moving shape that seemingly shifts each way and won the 2019 contest for the Best Illusion of the Year https://t.co/P0MhB2njrk pic.twitter.com/Kkqce2C2Kw — Massimo (@Rainmaker1973) December 17, 2019

And now the moment you’ve all been waiting for…
The item in question is rosin, which Google tells us is a “solid form of resin that’s obtained from pines and other conifers.” It’s used by violinists, amongst other string musicians, to reduce friction between the bow and the strings.

Just a month after the announcement that the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine had been successful in trials, it has been administered to the first few recipients in the UK.
The first patient to have one of the injections was 90-year-old Margaret Keenan from Enniskillen, who was given the jab in hospital in Coventry.
The second recipient, and the first man, had a much more memorable name.

To the White House, where Donald Trump was awarding the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Dan Gable, a wrestling legend and Olympic gold medal winner who joined Trump on stage during the election campaign to give his backing to the so-called president.
We only mention this because of Trump’s comedy quick exit from the whole thing, abruptly walking out, presumably to avoid having to answer reporter’s questions, and leaving Gable standing.
If it’s not peak Trump, then it’s something close.
