- Senate Republicans face a reckoning: for the first time in years, they’re going to have to vote and go on record against popular coronavirus relief and other favored Biden proposals. When McConnell was in charge, he shielded them by never bringing the legislature to the floor for a vote. Now, he can’t protect them, and they’ve gonna have to legislate.
- Maybe now Lou Dobbs supports the increased federal supplement for unemployment.
- Perhaps it’s because I have a brother who worked as a cop for more than two decades, but there’s something about a police officer’s funeral that I find poignant, even moreso than a military service.
- The Smartmatic and Dominion lawsuits are going to bring a lot of conservative propaganda outlets down. It’ll be like Gawker, but far, far more bloody.
- Fox News didn’t broadcast the Tuesday night ceremony remembering Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick. They also didn’t broadcast the “Celebrate America” program after the Biden-Harris inauguration. They are out of touch with what matters to Americans, and their ratings reflect it.
- Literally during Sicknick’s memorial service Wednesday night, Eric Trump was on Sean Hannity’s show saying his father’s followers would “do anything for him.” Yeah, that’s true. They’d even kill a cop for him.
- The same conservatives who now mock AOC for being shaken after the January 6th insurrection attack, leaving five dead, are the ones who supported Republicans for not holding townhall meetings because their constituents were too rude.
- The disclosure of the Jewish Space Lasers makes the continued secrecy of the Catholic Hurricane Spinner all the more impressive.
- It doesn’t matter if Kevin McCarthy or Lindsey Graham or Jim Jordan (falsely) claim to not know what QAnon is. Marjorie Taylor Greene does, and she doesn’t back away from her adherence to it, despite her claimed “regret” (which is not an apology; “regret” is what you have when you get caught doing something). And McCarthy and Graham should damn well know what QAnon is, given it’s a freakin’ national security threat.
- The US lost 2,966,000 jobs during Donald Trump’s term. Since World War II, Democrats have been in the Presidency 430 months and created a net 69.8 million jobs (162,000 per month average); Republicans have held the White House 480 months and created a net of just 28.9 million jobs (60,000 per month average).
- Bonds, James Bonds (in order of greatness): Sean Connery, Roger Moore, Daniel Craig, Pierce Brosnan, then all the rest.
- Republicans in Georgia’s 14th Congressional district had a neurosurgeon as one of two candidates in their August 2020 runoff. The other was Marjorie Taylor Greene. They chose the latter. It will not end well for them.
- Johnny Unitas would likely still be a great quarterback in the modern era, but Tom Brady would not have thrived during the Unitas era.
