Brian Williams has been a good Dem his entire life. But his incitefulness, his wit, his biting sarcasm, his moral compass throughout these monstrous Trump years has been a marvel to behold.
Ditto. True story: Friends from our Northern VA days. He: A lifelong R; Baptist lifelong. A widower. She: A lifelong D and United Methodist. Both attorneys. Divorced for many years. Got married 5-6 years ago. They attend the UMC where we met her. She’s been slowly ‘working on’ bringing him around to our side. Well, the trump years have done it. (Just like with my husband.). He now watches Rachel with her. He likes Joy Reid, but his favorite is Brian Williams. 😍
Biden now leads by 3.86 points nationwide, per @Redistrict popular vote tracker, matching Obama's 3.86 pt win in 2012. He'll exceed it soon. They won by similar amounts in very different ways. Here's the shift in presidential results between 2012 and 2020 pic.twitter.com/XjNsqOLfkd

After January 20, Donald Trump will lose his walled-in White House residence, his Secret Service agents, Air Force One, Marine One, and all the other perquisites and emoluments of office.
I still believe Trump will resign and Pence will then give him a blanket pardon. Yes…the pardon won’t protect him from state crimes, but he will be pardoned.
Up to us to remind pence that as he was also involved in some of the crimes, he should have trump pardon him before resigning; otherwise, pence is left holding the bag…
Of course, if trump pardons pence, resigns, the pence pardons trump, potentially, both pardons can be invalidated as fruits of a conspiracy…
Maddow has gone into detail about the 2 Michigan GOP legislators who have nothing to do with MI certification… being courted by Trump at the White House as we speak. Seems the plan is for them to strong arm the real GOP certificators and Monday is the deadline. Michigan’s county certifications have all been counted and what follows should be pro forma, yes? Trump wants to throw it all into chaos and send it to the courts…
Looks like PA rules are different…Lt Gov Fetterman saying No way trump can mess with PA.
Without any evidence…trump leaning on GOP to do his dirty work…and turn his Con into a Coup.
I love PA’s Lt. Governor, and watch him on msnbc – but it’s weird that there’s a ton of tweets, articles, etc. about MI but little detail about PA. How is he sure? I’m afraid I’m with Maddow – I’m still scared until Monday when PA and MI certify. It also frightens me that MI AG is considering legal ramifications behind the scenes when she’s been “nothing to worry about in MI state law” on the tee vee.

Kelly Loeffler May Have Coronavirus

It’s not clear how the diagnosis will affect her nationally-watched Jan. 5 runoff.

I get the sense that the Sydney Powell appearance was Not Normal even in the context of the new Not Normal.
It’s hard, but we have to keep calling out freakshows and lies even when they happen every day, even when they’re cinematic.
Hey All. In my 30 years as a federal prosecutor I don’t think I ever saw a case dismissed “WITH PREJUDICE.” A federal judge just dismissed Trump’s challenge of the Pennsylvania election results WITH PREJUDICE. Translation: “Go away and don’t come back!” https://t.co/gCT2Tt7ppZ
Powell now accusing Kemp and Raffensperger of receiving financial benefits in exchange for using Dominion voting machines. Newsmax host asks her to clarify, she says: "We have certainly been told that there is evidence of that."
Powell now telling Newsmax that Bernie Sanders actually won the Democratic primary in 2016 but the machines were rigged to give Hillary Clinton the win, says Sanders knows but he was paid off to keep quiet.
I don't understand how it’s considered radical for progressives to fight for an equitable society, but it’s accepted that Senate Republicans would rather take a vacation for Thanksgiving and let thousands of people die from the virus than pass relief.
Trump’s lawyers are awful, but that’s not why all their lawsuits are failing. Other way around. The lawyers are terrible because the cases are such trash no decent lawyer will touch them.
It’s only a matter of time before national and state Republicans speak up to defend a governor – who happens to be up for re-election in two years w/ a likely challenge from @staceyabrams – and is under attack by Trump and his legal team. Right? Right …? #gapolhttps://t.co/HJrUkyqQpe
Why does it seem that tRumpers are okay with following CDC guidelines AFTER they test positive (i.e., self-isolating/quarantining) , but push back and ignore the guidelines that are in place to help prevent the spread of COVID-19? They pick and choose the rules they want to follow to suit their agenda.
Has Pence ever gone into quarantine, even when he’s been exposed in the past?
It's not yet clear whether Vice President Mike Pence or U.S. Sen. David Perdue, whom she campaigned with on Friday, would have to quarantine. The three appeared together, without wearing masks, at two outdoor rallies in north Georgia. #gapol#gasenhttps://t.co/cRLgaQvMo1
Biden advisers are almost certain Trump will not attend Biden's swearing-in. They find it hard to imagine the traditional tea at the White House, the drive to the Capitol, or Trump allowing any image of himself looking on as Biden is sworn into office. https://t.co/V9RVyEomEp
A deep sickness has taken over the Republican Party.
It's gotten so bad that GOP Senators who commit the heresy of admitting the simple truth that the voters chose Biden in the election are forced to frantically backpedal and do damage control:https://t.co/5WHUUXbvUFpic.twitter.com/JSSxKjBlrt
Trump's effort to steal the election turns on getting state legislatures to send competing slates of electors so Congress deadlocks over the EC count, supposedly kicking the outcome to the House on favorable terms to Trump. It won't get to this point, but even so, it's doomed. https://t.co/Sn4xHoI67G
Interesting to watch the border now being drawn between the merely cynical, hypocritical & repugnant (e.g. Tucker Carlson, Rich Lowry, Joni Ernst) and the fully demented cult inhabitants (Limbaugh, Giuliani, Sydney Powell, et al) of right-wing Fantasyland. https://t.co/pGAouD5PzN
As expected, the Trump campaign has filed for a recount in Georgia. There is no evidence of widespread fraud or irregularities, and Biden’s narrow victory in Georgia was certified on Friday after a hand recount of the nearly 5M ballots confirmed the results. #gapolpic.twitter.com/q4V0iBywdW

– It looks like Rick Scott probably gave COVID to Kelly Loeffler when they campaigned together last week, and then in turn Loeffler may have exposed David Perdue and Mike Pence yesterday. These Republicans are all refusing to wear masks when they’re around each other because they might hurt Donald Trump’s feelings, and now they’re gambling with their lives.
– Notably, the Republicans who no longer feel like they need Trump, such as Liz Cheney and Pat Toomey, are kicking him to the curb tonight as quickly as they can. In general it’s only the Republicans who think they still need Trump’s blessing to win (Loeffler, Perdue), and who are corruptly attached to Trump at the hip (Pence, Scott), who are still playing his dead-end games.
In a Facebook post published Friday, Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson claimed he became “desperately ill” with the COVID-19 virus and that he believes he is “out of the woods” and his health is returning now that the Donald Trump administration is drawing to a close.
The Trump appointee posted an update on Friday and warned lawmakers to stop playing politics when trying to stop the spread of the coronavirus pandemic.
Admitting he had “several co-morbidities[more than one illness or disease occurring in one person at the same time] and after a brief period when I only experienced minor discomfort, the symptoms accelerated and I became desperately ill,” he wrote he turned the corner after he received the same monoclonal antibody therapy the president received “which I am convinced saved my life.”
“…While I am blessed to have the best medical care in the world (and I am convinced it saved my life), we must prioritize getting comparable treatments and care to everyone as soon as possible.”
“To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that we are to stand by the president, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”
Biden’s team has two goals for his inauguration: establishing his legitimacy as president, which Trump is continuing to deny, and adhering to public health guidelines that Biden has embraced throughout.
Most inauguration planning efforts have focused on soaring rhetoric and fancy balls. This year, it's a question of convincing Americans that Biden won the election legitimately and ensuring the gathering isn't a superspreader event. Via @mviserhttps://t.co/0KRgBGNxEL
Masks, social distancing, covid testing. Few inaugural balls. And, for perhaps the first time in history, a defeated president refusing to attend. My look at some of the preliminary planning for one of the most unusual inaugurations the country has seen: https://t.co/9i4AYpWPNG

And now I can’t get that song out of my head. Ha. Also found it sung by Tom Jones last year in Orlando, and found out this year he turned 80 YEARS OLD. My dance moves and singing voice at 74 are laughable, but luckily none of you have to see ’em!

– Notably, the Republicans who no longer feel like they need Trump, such as Liz Cheney and Pat Toomey, are kicking him to the curb tonight as quickly as they can. In general it’s only the Republicans who think they still need Trump’s blessing to win (Loeffler, Perdue), and who are corruptly attached to Trump at the hip (Pence, Scott), who are still playing his dead-end games.

Peppa… Peppa Pig 🙄
In a Facebook post published Friday, Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson claimed he became “desperately ill” with the COVID-19 virus and that he believes he is “out of the woods” and his health is returning now that the Donald Trump administration is drawing to a close.
The Trump appointee posted an update on Friday and warned lawmakers to stop playing politics when trying to stop the spread of the coronavirus pandemic.
Admitting he had “several co-morbidities[more than one illness or disease occurring in one person at the same time] and after a brief period when I only experienced minor discomfort, the symptoms accelerated and I became desperately ill,” he wrote he turned the corner after he received the same monoclonal antibody therapy the president received “which I am convinced saved my life.”
“…While I am blessed to have the best medical care in the world (and I am convinced it saved my life), we must prioritize getting comparable treatments and care to everyone as soon as possible.”
Morning everyone
Do this, Georgia.
Thank you for the cheerful post, Nerdy darlin’.
Here’s some non-political Sunday morning cheer from me (and then I’ll go watch 44’s antics):
And now I can’t get that song out of my head. Ha. Also found it sung by Tom Jones last year in Orlando, and found out this year he turned 80 YEARS OLD. My dance moves and singing voice at 74 are laughable, but luckily none of you have to see ’em!
New post.
