dying light of his presidency

Not so sure I’d describe his presidency as “light”

A wiser, more forward-thinking Republican Senator might have predicted as far back as the 2016 primary that if the GOP nominated Trump, he would destroy them, and they would deserve it.

oh well, hindsight is 20/20 and all that

I can’t stop laughing.

Watching Pence at joint session now. He seems like he’s counting the minutes till he’s done with all this.

In passing…

Kelly Loeffler entered Senate chamber and wouldn’t answer my question about whether she thought it was a free and fair election last night. Her aide elbowed me and pushed me out of way.
A Capitol police officer reprimanded the aide, who initially lied and said he didn’t push me

Sheesh, a standing ovation by Republicans over the objection to Arizona’s votes? That’s a sad scene.

The sabotage of American democracy is underway by Republicans, but it looks like Pence is not going to go along with it. If he just does his duty and sticks to the facts then things will work out as they should…it’s if he decides to play games that stuff will come undone. He has no place to undo the election, any attempt will cause chaos though and that’s not a good thing.

Does Pelosi have Chief Justice Roberts on speed-dial just in case Q-Tip says fuck it and goes rogue?
