Uh-huh. After what happened today, WTF is still wrong with these people.

Can (or can’t) he still tweet as @POTUS?

No, Mitch doesn’t care what the nation’s citizens think; he cares about retaining control of the senate. When a senator objects the Electoral College results, that forces the whole senate to consider and vote on the objection. With a number of Republicans already on record (Toomey, Collins, Murkowski, and Romney)…

Hey, can we talk about Josh Hawley? He’s going to contest the Electoral College votes. Jesus, what a a fuckwad.

The NYPD knows who she is, plans to charger her with assault, but hasn’t released her name yet.

From Masha Gessen (with my added bolding):

I’m going to guess the figure probably originated from a simple calculation based on the CDC’s COVID tracker. As of this writing, dividing the number of deaths by the number of cases yields a death rate of 1.77% — or, flipped around, a survival rate of 98.23%. It may have been closer to 99.97% at some point, but…

At the risk of further reinforcing the bubble, Imma back you up: Engaging With Trump’s Die-Hard Supporters Isn’t Productive

In this year of the coronavirus, Trump has oscillated between holding briefings and acting like the pandemic was over, while recommending bleach and bragging about his own tremendous recovery. But what he has demonstrated consistently, while three hundred thousand people in this country have died and millions…

Hm. From the last two Martin Shkreli stories:

With the requisite inclusion of a microwaved hamburger.

According to his niece Mary, he’s lied about the election so much that he has actually gaslit himself into believing that he won.

Trump’s been fuming about federal buildings for a while now (and notice the date, just in time for COVID to blow up). I’m a little surprised that art deco is an approved style, though, seeing as how he hasn’t much cared for it previously.

Oh, huh. Being locked up in the Caymans means she won’t be able to vote in the upcoming Georgia runoffs. Rigged election!

And, of course, the anti-vaxxers are going into high gear:

Oh, you know they’re the exact types to go, “You want how much for this? I bet my cousin can do it. He took a bunch of art classes in high school.”

The great Charles P. Pierce: “Remember who you’re dealing with here, Pfizer. You’re lucky he’s not peddling doses with his name on them in the gift shop of his gaudy hotel.”

For that Space Force tweet, at least somebody was on-the-job enough to pick an appropriate typeface.

Why, at this point, are the Republicans still not standing up to Trump? He lost the election, has practically no chance to reverse that outcome, and won’t be around for long to exact revenge on them. Nor will he be around as a useful idiot to advance their agendas. So what’s the reason? Is it (and is it only) the fear…

Imagine the stock market losses when people drop like flies left and right. Dead people don’t buy things or get their hair done or eat at restaurants. Apparently this insight never crossed the minds of anyone living in MAGAstan.
