Republicans went from Jim Baker to the guy nobody will sit next to on the bus talking about how the CIA is controlling him through his dentures.
Baker was not doing good work, but at least he projected a veneer of respectability.

Jim Baker still voted for this orange fucker again in 2020. I still can hardly believe it. It's time to toss the legendary James Baker right into the trash bin with all the other seditious and clueless Repukes.

(115,777 posts)3. The courts have seen insane cases before, but they are usually brought
by pro se litigants, like this one, U.S. ex rel. Mayo v. Satan: https://cite.case.law/frd/54/282/ , or Searight v. New Jersey, https://law.justia.com/cases/federal/district-courts/FSupp/412/413/2368303/ in which the plainitiff claims that he was
...taken to the Eye, Ear and Speech Clinic in Newark, while in custody, and that the State of New Jersey there unlawfully injected him in the left eye with a radium electric beam. As a result, he claims that someone now talks to him on the inside of his brain. He asks money damages of $12. million....
The judge wasn't having it, though.
The allegations, of course, are of facts which, if they exist, are not yet known to man. Just as Mr. Houdini has so far failed to establish communication from the spirit world (See E. L. Doctorow, "Ragtime", pp. 166-169, Random House, 1974), so the decades of scientific experiments and statistical analysis have failed to establish the existence of "extrasensory perception" (ESP). But, taking the facts as pleaded, and assuming them to be true, they show a case of presumably unlicensed radio communication, a matter which comes within the sole jurisdiction of the Federal Communications Commission, 47 U.S.C. § 151, et seq. And even aside from that, Searight *415 could have blocked the broadcast to the antenna in his brain simply by grounding it. See, for example, Ghirardi, "Modern Radio Servicing", First Edition, p. 572, ff. (Radio & Technical Publishing Co., New York, 1935). Just as delivery trucks for oil and gasoline are "grounded" against the accumulation of charges of static electricity, so on the same principle Searight might have pinned to the back of a trouser leg a short chain of paper clips so that the end would touch the ground and prevent anyone from talking to him inside his brain.
Wood seems to be heading down a similar path. I wonder when he will sue the lizard people?
