Biden is going to have his eyes opened wide when he sees how many Senate Republicans are going to challenge his win, 12 and counting, he will have problems with his picks for various positions in his administration too, by pass the ones not confirmed by the Senate if the Dems don't win the run offs and appoint them as acting just like their boy Trump.

Rep. Gohmert Calls for Street Violence as Another Legal Loss Sends MAGA World Spiraling. “In effect, the [court] ruling would be that you gotta go the streets and be as violent as Antifa and BLM,” Gohmert, a former judge, said. Far-right conspiracy theorists and ultra conservative members of the GOP—who have less and less daylight between them as the days go by—have gone into collective meltdown mode, apparently triggered, at least in part, by calls for violence by Congressman Louie Gohmert (R-TX) and Trump-allied lawyer L. Lin Wood. On Friday, U.S. District Court Judge Jeremy Kernodle, who was appointed by President Donald Trump, dismissed a hail-mary lawsuit filed by Gohmert and 11 Arizona Republicans that attempted to give Vice President Mike Pence the ability to overturn the results of the November presidential election won by Joe Biden. As the president of the Senate, Pence will preside over the ceremonial counting of the Electoral College votes, which have already certified Biden as the clear winner, on Wednesday. In an interview Friday evening on pro-Trump news network Newsmax, Gohmert falsely claimed that letting the will of the voters stand would “mean the end of our republic, the end of the experiment in self-government." Gohmert then seemed to encourage violence as a means to this end. “But bottom line is, the court is saying, ‘We’re not going to touch this. You have no remedy’—basically, in effect, the ruling would be that you gotta go the streets and be as violent as Antifa and BLM.” Louie Gohmert Calls for Street Violence as Pence Lawsuit Loss Sends MAGA World Spiraling (thedailybeast.com)

We shall see. Works out to 160 for Thursday & Friday.

There's a Canadian in the room in the podcast too. He says the CFL is pretty much dead. 🙄

Chris “Strafalski” getting some love south of the border.

Im sure it will come back to bite me but those Con supporters sure think Trudeau is in the Caribbean.

No surprises here. The GOP made things as difficult as they could for Obama for eight years and now they have the guise of credibility because Trump said they do.

Hard to believe a) that Trump supporters follow the rule of law and b) would have a hard time getting guns in Washington and c) they would be loathe to resort to violence

Same cast of characters

Our boy Ville Heinola having a good game against the Swedes in quarter final action.

Washington DC has strict firearm regulations and they are not easy to obtain, even for residents. Don’t bring your weapons!

oh crap https://deadline.com/2021/01/larry-king-hospitalized-with-covid-19-87-year-old-broadcaster-in-unknown-condition-report-1234664027/

Xmas numbers will be out closer to the 8th of Jan. My area was dead quiet minus the raging drunks near by. But that's normal for them so yeah.

That’s a 0.01666% rate.

I want to see McGuire play as well.

Remember it is 2 days combined numbers, not far from where they have been.

I guess it is for the best that students in grades 7-12 get the extra holiday or remote learning

Damn. This is probably the Christmas/High Holiday socializing result. We can probably expect a week or so of days like this.

The province of manitoba said it was a technical issue

And yet, to quench his ego thirst, Trump wants rally the crowd in Dalton Georgia on Monday. Trump Declares Georgia Senate Races 'Illegal And Invalid' Days Ahead Of Vote President Donald Trump declared the Senate runoff elections in Georgia both “illegal and invalid” in a tweet on Friday, which could dissuade his followers from heading to the polls. “There’s a big strain of thought among Republicans that President Trump is sabotaging this race,” Allen said. “He’s done so much to be unhelpful to those candidates. [Republicans] say he must be thinking: ‘I want to send a message. If I’m not on the ballot, Republicans are in trouble.’” https://apple.news/Az50oqqwkTe-EqjD47TeOHg

Another bizarre pro-Trump election lawsuit bites the dust Loony Louie Gohmert just had his zany lawsuit against Vice President Mike Pence tossed on the sad heap of Krakens. Gohmert and some other Republicans were trying to get the courts to require Pence to abuse his position as U.S. Senate presiding officer to make his own call about which electors counted on January 6. Once again, the nonsense of the Republicans' legal clown car was rejected by a Republican judge appointed to his post by Donald Trump. This time it was Judge Jeremy Kernodle hammering one more nail in the judicial coffin. LawandCrime.com had this report tonight: A federal judge dismissed a lawsuit filed against Vice President Mike Pence by Rep. Louie Gohmert and fake pro-Trump electors on Friday, finding that plaintiffs lacked standing.

That would be a highly debatable assumption.

Apparently the US Secret Service is going to be weeded out as soon as Biden is in the saddle. There are about 300 Secret Service agents and some are loyal to Trump to the extent where they were not wearing masks and trying to convince/pressure other agents to not wear masks so as to not make Trump look bad. I would think that there is going to be a lot blood letting in Washington in about three weeks.

Hawley is a constitutional lawyer, he should know better but he has aspirations of being president and he wants the MAGA vote, he has made his bed

.................On standby

Well 2020, **** off.

Truly, these women know who Loeffler is..

January 6th will be an interesting day on 2 fronts. Pence will be performing his constitutional duty in overseeing the official elector count, and announcement of results for each state. Normally, a simple ceremony, but not this time. Trump is twittering away bigly about how Pence is the last line of defense against "the steal" and the need for him to "do something" The cult have picked up on this and are already declaring online that Pence will be a deep state, cowardly traitor if he does not somehow derail the proceedings. Now, the VP's powers are strictly limited to opening the envelopes from the states alphabetically, then passing the certificates to four tellers (two members from each house and each party.) The tellers read, count and alternate in announcing the results from each state. But in MAGA land, as usual....alternative facts matter. Trump is throwing Pence right under the 18 wheeler. Just another fall guy to blame for Trump loosing the election. Which is perhaps why Pence (probably for his own good, and perhaps safety) is traveling overseas, starting the day after. Meanwhile, Josh Hawley's decision to object to the Electoral College result is putting McConnell and his fellow Republicans senators in a tough political bind. If this goes back to the Senate - everyone there will have to vote and publicly indicate on the record, if they intend to still play along with this voter fraud challenge farce, to appease Trump and his base - especially or in the case for the 19 GOP Senators who are up for re-election in 2022.....or uphold the legal election results - and face the wrath of the cult, as well as providing the Dems with plenty of ammo to talk to swing voters about Trump boot licking seditious traitors . Mitch is already stuck under the 18 wheeler....... And of course Trump is back in town, with time left to add his particular brand of chaos, to the situation.....

Cruz wants to wear the red hats and be the lead dog for the fundamentalists......so does Pence. But Pence is going to take a big hit on the 6th............

Not looking forward to the numbers next week.

Better days to come, and we will face them together!

Well in his case the Jets own his rights but he is not under contract.

Just plain unbelievable...
