Apparently this is a fake, and was circulated a couple of years ago. True, though.

Not looking forward to the numbers next week.

Put it this way- Trump's chances of legally overturning the election are no worse than when he started all this crap.

Alabama lite.

Doesn't really matter- associating with the KKK down there is a popularity booster.

Better days to come, and we will face them together!

He and the cabinet minister from Saskatchewan should have been fired on the spot.

Apparently Ted Cruz has been soliciting donations to "fight for free and fair elections in Georgia" but is funneling all the money into his own election coffers in preparation for the next election. The grift goes on and on....

We shall see. I am willing to give the benefit of a doubt for now.

Pro-Trump Missouri senator announces he will contest Biden’s certification Acknowledging Joe Biden as president-elect, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has been urging Senate Republicans not to voice objections when a joint session of Congress meets on January 6 to certify the Electoral College results. But Sen. Josh Hawley, a far-right Trump loyalist, has announced that he will contest the certification. With Biden's inauguration only three weeks away, President Donald Trump continues to make debunked claims that he was the victim of widespread voter fraud. The Electoral College certified the election results when it met on December 14, but Hawley, in his statement, said, "At the very least, Congress should investigate allegations of voter fraud and adopt measures to secure the integrity of our elections. But Congress has so far failed to act." Pro-Trump Missouri senator announces he will contest Biden’s certification - Alternet.org.................

Yup. sorry about that.

British Government Predicts Pandemic Will End in Spring as Oxford/AstraZeneca Vaccine Is Approved Reuters/Paul Ellis The Oxford-AstraZeneca coronavirus vaccine won approval from British regulators Wednesday—a landmark moment that the U.K. government claims will see off the pandemic by the spring. Britain is the first nation in the world to approve the Oxford shot, which is cheaper and easier to store than other vaccines. The country has ordered 100 million doses, which, when combined with its store of Pfizer-BioNTech shots, will be enough to vaccinate the whole population. Interestingly, the approval came with a shift in Britain’s vaccine strategy—it’s now aiming to give as many people as possible their first shot, to provide some level of protection to more people, rather than focusing on giving the required double dose of the vaccine to a smaller number of extremely vulnerable people. Health Secretary Matt Hancock said Wednesday: “We now know, with a very high degree of confidence, that we’re going to be out of this by the spring.” Read it at BBC News

Ah, a Mike Mercury fan.

Trump paid off his convicted flunkies with pardons but not one of those who testified against them- a clear message.

Nothing in reports so far have indicated that the variant is more virulent than the primary virus- just more easily transmittable. We need to hope and pray that no deadlier variants appear- there is evidence that one did appear in New Jersey, wiping out 5 of 6 members of one household, but it appears to have been contained.

Yoshi proves that you do not have to be a superstar in order to be loved by teammates and fans alike.

If you have established yourself as a bona fide star in any league, you get a lot more slack than if you are a rookie. BTW: the Cowpersons had a house of ill repute that management reserved for them post-game. And John Matuzak would reserve a hospital bed reserved every time he went out partying. Good times.

Listened to a minute or so to the interview- the guy has the intelligence of a house plant and was trying to sound remorseful. Fail on both counts.

It seems very possible that Trump is setting the stage for riots in DC when Pence fulfills his constitutional duty (which is both ceremonial and non-optional) and officially declares Biden the winner. From credible reports, Trump is toying with the idea that if/when the riots break out, he will use the excuse to follow Flynn's direction to declare martial law, have the army or para-military impound the voting machines and order another election under military supervision. THIS is the nuclear option which would be legally questionable at best. If you think this improbable, remember how Trump tried to order paratroopers to clear the street so he could have his pathetic photo-op holding a bible which he never read, upside down in front of a church he never visited. Apparently the commanding officer refused the order, so Trump's toadies ordered in paramilitary border and customs staff who had no training at all in this sort of thing.

No. no, no. It was right the first time.

The sad thing is that his thralls will believe this without question and fight to the death defending it. Who needs Soma?

IT GETS WORSE?? Scientists Reporting Rare Amount of Severe Psychosis in COVID-19 Patients Getty A small number of COVID-19 patients worldwide are experiencing severe psychotic symptoms, The New York Times reported on Monday. While COVID-19 has been linked to psychological effects, most notably “brain fog,” researchers have begun to publish papers on more severe cases of psychosis, even in patients with no prior history of mental illness. One paper, published by the NIH’s National Library of Medicine, describes a 52-year-old man who developed suicidal paranoia after contracting the virus. As with much of the lesser-known symptoms of the coronavirus, medical researches do not yet know much about what causes these effects.

Republicans made their own worst nightmare come true in the most lurid way imaginable Yeah, so remember the nonsense that proto-Trump nitwit Sarah Palin spewed about "death panels" back when the Affordable Care Act was being debated? Like most of what she said, it was too crazy to believe. I mean, seriously. Rationing lifesaving care in America? Pfft. Like that would ever happ … Oh, what fresh hell is this?
