But the optics of the National Guard during the BLM rally earlier in CD?

If we do it now, not 100 days from now it is possible. Some Republicans are already saying they would vote to convict. The chances of that happening fade with each passing week.

They literally had plans to EXECUTE Mike Pence and Nancy Pelosi in front of the Capitol building. There’s no way to come together with these people. They don’t WANT to unify. And every last one that can be identified and charged MUST be.

OTOH, giving money to someone who doesn’t “need” it, like me, gives me some mad money that I will not save but spend on something frivolous which will stimulate an economic center other than groceries and rent.

The filibuster today is just the minority side, Republicans in this case, SAYING they’re going to use the filibuster. I say, if they want to filibuster they need to go old school and get up and start talking for 24 hours a day until one side says enough.

Waiting 100 days would be a mistake. RIGHT NOW some Republicans in the Senate are willing to vote against Trump. In 3 months, the outrage of 1/6/21 will have died down some and those Republicans may not feel so strongly about sending a message to the ex-president.

With less than 2 weeks before Uncle Joe gets sworn in, nothing is gonna happen to Trump, Impeachment or 25 Amendment. Three months from now, or 3 weeks from now, Trumps enablers and sycophants are going to claim that they never really supported him

I am very proud to have been a part of Mrs. Trump’s mission to help children everywhere,

When a communist dictator takes over, the Republicans aren’t gonna have anyone to blame but themselves for this bullshit. By allowing Trump to fuck with the very foundational principles of democracy, the Republicans can’t act surprised when another president finishes what Trump started.

• Tiger King’s Joe Exotic says he’d rather die of covid-19 than die on a ventilator, which makes me think he doesn’t actually know anything about the coronavirus.

YOU’RE gonna have a big party. I’M gonna forget he ever existed and delete 2016-2020 from my memory.

And the pretty white girl becomes a story yet again.

I suspect Trump is merely stalling any chance of the checks going out during HIS administration. Well over half of Americans did not vote for him, so Fuck Them. They’ll get nothing from Trump

I saw some hinting at something big in the Mandalorian season finale, so I hurried to watch it lest someone spoil it for me. Preemptively spoiling a would-be spoiler

No mention of the rumored ultimate self-destruct. U-2 and SR-71 pilots supposedly had cyanide capsules they were to take if they were captured. Obviously, Powers didn’t avail himself of this. 

“We need to come together” is just something politicians say. It’s polite. It sounds like “hey, we’re all on the same side here.” In truth, whenever a politician says we need to come together, what they mean is “you need to do it our way, or fuck you”.

Something, something, arbitrary and capricious....

I don’t think so. Yet. The COVID vaccines aren’t “approved”. They are authorized for emergency use only. Maybe after getting full approval. At the moment, hospitals in my area are vaxxing ER and ICU nurses, but no one is required to get it.

And, generally speaking, big Pharma isn’t rushing to cure anything that doesn’t have a big payout for them in the end.

Last week, Trump reportedly threatened the job of the head of the FDA if he didn’t approve the vaccine by midnight. I worried that would undermine peoples’ faith in the vaccine, believing the approval process was compromised by another Fed director trying to keep Trump happy.
