Thank you Betsy for doing the absolute bare minimum after 4 years of trying to destroy public education or whatever

Found out that my uncle who had last I'd checked had a relatively mild case is going to stay in the hospital at least overnight tonight after his oxygen level was low.

Remember when Trump said Cruz's dad killed JFK or whatever

Entire Republican party and right-wing media apparatus right now

I gotta say, "Trump is going to bring back the Articles of Confederation" (I guess that's what they mean?!) is a new one for me

That's the thing I hope everyone remembers about him. For all of his posturing and play-acting, he is the most cowardly president we have ever had. A sniveling, whiny child.

I can't get over that he told the crowd that he was going to walk to the capital with them, immediately got into his motorcade and rode back to the White House, and they still did it in his name anyway

What happened to him being banned

Probably called up Jack directly and begged for his account back in exchange for making that video

Pritzker's been a lot better so far than I thought he was going to be. Mostly has his shit together on COVID.

Makes you wonder what conversations he's had in the last couple of hours

Yeah, I remember reading that one too. People who have lived in other countries knew. We need to stop pretending there's such a thing as "American exceptionalism"

Don Lemon righteously pissed at the DC police on CNN.

They're still actually gonna debate PA. Christ.

It's interesting the representatives are still keeping up the objections but all senators have dropped their support even though 9 supported the objections to arizona vote. You would think a few of them would still keep this bullshit up. 

I think they worked this out as a compromise to keep things moving. This is the thing that happened in 2000--a bunch of House Dems objected but no Senators ever did. I remember it from the beginning of Fahrenheit 9/11. Michael Moore treated it as like, "If only one Senator spoke up, we could have been rid of Bush!" but I think it was a compromise worked out ahead of time in that case too.

Oh okay. Senator's withdrawing their names from the objection so it doesn't count. Huge applause.

Objections to Georgia. Fuck's sake.

They're running through states again in the joint session and nobody has objected to a Biden state yet, but they haven't gotten to any swing states.

There's a 100% chance that if Brian williams (as an example) goes on the news and starts talking about how the Q movement is radicalizing *millions* of Republicans, including a good number of electeds, I honestly think there'd be significant pushback and it all just gets labeled nonsense.

 

Because when people are told what Republicans believe and vote for, they simply don't believe it!

I mean, maybe, but in that case, I dunno, we might just be fucked. Because just hoping this all goes away isn't working right now either.

I gotta say again what I said a few pages back--I don't think I've heard the term QAnon said on TV at all today. We need to actually understand and confront the actual problem. A lot of the protesters there earnestly believed they were going to do a citizen's arrest on a giant cabal of pedos because they're in a cult.

Maybe we'll get a vote on this tonight

You’ve already lost. This is what Americans need to understand

People who've actually lived through coups had this shit figured out early. More people should listen next time.

Shitload of House Republicans still voting Yes to rejecting Arizona. This fever ain't breaking any time soon.

The guy who got conned by Borat and a failed SEC coach are conspiring to do a coup for a game show host. What the fuck are we doing here, what even is this.

this motherfucker
