Republican members led 'reconnaissance’ tours of US Capitol one day According to North Jersey, newly-elected lawmaker Rep. Mikie Sherrill (D-N.J.) revealed she personally witnessed Congressional members conducting "reconnaissance" tours through the U.S. Capitol on Tuesday, Jan. 5, just one day before an angry pro-Trump mob stormed the federal building to hinder lawmakers' efforts to certify the electoral college vote. In a video on Facebook live, Sherill explained her reasons for voting in support of Democrats' House resolution requesting Vice President Mike Pence to invoke the 25th Amendment which would lead to immediate removal from office for President Donald Trump. Sherill went on to criticize her Republican colleagues who "abetted" Trump's repeated, dangerous attempts to overturn the presidential election. She also touched on Trump's rhetoric and influence which, subsequently, led to a violent mob storming the federal building.

Why is it spelled "camoflage" and not ?

WHY WASN'T I TOLD SOONER??????

I suspect that the flow of critical information flowing to Trump has slowed to a trickle since last October. He probably wouldn't remember much anyways, between the stress and the drugs he is probably on these days.

I have said it before and say it again, we need a WTF emoji here.

The hilarious thing is that, even though the Saudis (the royal family, really) have bought many billions of armaments from the US (mostly), they are so paranoid about being overthrown that very few of the military are allowed to have bullets, rockets or bombs. Most of the weapons are in ultra-secure warehouses and many have been outdated without ever having been deployed.

From reports, Deutsche Bank was misrepresented to by Trump and his proxies but by the time they realized it, they were in too deep to back out gracefully. Now, they have been forced into it and the commercial loans managers who Trump had on a string were forced to resign months ago. Trump has no friends at Deutsche Bank any longer or people he can bribe or coerce. Signature Bank in New York, one of Trump's secondary lenders has made a similar announcement but also issued a statement condemning Trump's actions.

Beyond this, Trump will no longer have any influence anywhere in American politics or economy, so he will be of no further use to them. Therefore, he will be discarded as soon as they can extricate themselves from his dealings.

In a major announcement and body blow to the Trump empire, Deutsche Bank has stated that they will no longer do business with any of the Trump businesses. This is a big nail in the financial coffin for Trump, and leaves him with only Russian and Russian mobs to borrow from. Worse yet, it is a signal from the biggest bank in Europe that they no longer have confidence in Trump or his businesses, and likely to start an avalanche of creditors dissociating themselves from him.

Lets enjoy the good news while it lasts, but lets not get complacent. If we get a week of double-digit new cases, we can breather easier.

The people who thought that the speech was totally appropriate were all wearing white hoods.

The trouble with stupid people is that they do not realize how stupid they are.

Susan Collins shockingly reveals her "first thought was that the Iranians" hit the Capitol Republican Sen. Susan Collins made a stunning admission of ignorance about the right-wing extremism goaded by GO In a new piece for the local paper Bangor Daily News detailing her experience in the Jan. 6 attack on Congress, Republican Sen. Susan Collins made a revealing admission on Monday about her first thoughts during the siege. The lawmaker from Maine, who sits on the Senate Intelligence Committee, said: "My first thought was that the Iranians had followed through on their threat to strike the Capitol, but a police officer took over the podium and explained that violent demonstrators had breached the entire perimeter of the Capitol and were inside. Several of us pointed out that the doors to the press gallery were unlocked right above us. That tells you how overwhelmed and unprepared the Capitol Police were, although many, many of them were very courageous".

Ivanka Trump mocked for saying she'll attend Biden Inauguration to save her 'promising political career' The Internet is unleashing mockery after Ivanka Trump let it be known she plans to attend the presidential inauguration of Joe Biden. At any other point in U.S. history it would not even have been news, but rather, an assumption and expectation that the First Daughter and Advisor to the outgoing President would attend the event, but these are strange times. The eldest Trump daughter isn't planning on attending for patriotic reasons, nor for a chance to witness history first hand, nor to support the incoming administration. "Ivanka is worried that her promising political career is in jeopardy and she's doing whatever she can to save her reputation," according to the Daily Mail, citing a White House insider who says, "Ivanka is convinced that by attending Biden's inauguration she will come across as a good sport and will gain future supporters."

According to a report from HuffPost, Capitol Police warned House Democrats on Monday night that there are three potentially violent demonstrations planned ahead of Joe Biden’s inauguration next week—including one plot to surround the Capitol and assassinate them. Lawmakers were reportedly told that demonstrators plan to encircle the Capitol to block Democrats and non-Trumpist Republicans from entering the building, and allow lawmakers loyal to Trump to enter and control government. Democrats were reportedly told on the call that the plot could involve assassinations. “It was pretty overwhelming,” one Democrat told HuffPost. Police reportedly told members that, this time, they’re ready to handle the plots.

There are apparently several other vaccines almost ready for distribution from different countries of origin, so no one is going to have a monopoly.

If you are saying that he could be the next leader of the federal PC party, why would you wish that on him? He seems like a decent sort of guy.

The turkey has been refusing to eat prison food because it is not organic. Wait until he finds out that he is not going to get his bed turned down and his pillows fluffled every night.

no great loss there. He was a rabid Zionist(Israel for Jews only) and a multimillion donor to Trump because of Trump's support for the policies of ethnic cleansing in Israel.

'Absolutely chilling': House Democrats briefed on disturbing assassination plots by Trump supporters House Democrats on Monday were briefed by the U.S. Capitol Police on several disturbing potential armed demonstrations and assassination plots planned in the coming days by supporters of President Donald Trump, an indication that the deadly invasion of the halls of Congress last week may have been just the start of a broader wave of right-wing violence ahead of President-elect Joe Biden's inauguration. HuffPost reported that on a private call late Monday, "new leaders of the Capitol Police told House Democrats they were closely monitoring three separate plans that could pose serious threats to members of Congress as Washington prepares for Democrat Joe Biden's presidential inauguration on Jan. 20." According to HuffPost: The first is a demonstration billed as the "largest armed protest ever to take place on American soil." Another is a protest in honor of Ashli Babbitt, the woman killed while trying to climb into the Speaker's Lobby during Wednesday's pro-Trump siege of the Capitol. And another demonstration, which three members said was by far the most concerning plot, would involve insurrectionists forming a perimeter around the Capitol, the White House and the Supreme Court, and then blocking Democrats from entering the Capitol―perhaps even killing them―so that Republicans could take control of the government. Under fire for allowing last week's assault on Congress, the Capitol Police insisted to House Democrats on the Monday call that law enforcement is prepared to handle the pro-Trump extremists—but, according to HuffPost, lawmakers stressed the need for strict protections. "One topic of discussion was the need to put every member of Congress through a metal detector before the inauguration," HuffPost reported. "A member on the call [said] that there was an 'eyes-wide-open realization' that Capitol Police needed to take precautions against 'all these members who were in league with the insurrectionists who love to carry their guns.'"

The FBI has been warning for some 20 years that the biggest threat was the right-wing groups in the States, but were ordered to shut up by first the Bush 2 regime and then the Trump cabal.

Those prefrontal lobotomies are very difficult to reverse.

Better, not good, but still encouraging.
