This entire process is normally pro forma, bureaucratic humdrum. But Trump refuses to concede so he has essentially produced a reality TV show where he gets his ass kicked by Joe Biden every day. https://t.co/QU2POJK9vx

To the reporters asking whether any of these suits have a chance at SCOTUS:
You're asking whether a homeowner, opening the door to find a flaming bag of dog poop on the front porch, wants to bring the bag inside to use as a Thanksgiving centerpiece.

I kind of like that guy who says “I mite as well give up …. I’ll never fkn vote again” If only the US had more Republicans like him.

So? What’s less embarrassing to a narcissist – the legal asskicking coming his way, or his entire Soviet shitpile mobster Trump humper bastard administration throwing themselves into an active volcano?

Hehe. Love the hashtag.

@scav: Sorry. “Taco trucks ever corner” was a Hillary 2016 racist Russthuglican “threat.” Not applicable now.
But beating the living shit out of the Russthuglican party for the rest of time IS applicable.

In other news, it’s 12:50 a.m., and I have just finished the first 30 minutes of a 2 hour bake time for a cheesecake to be eaten by my boss on Thursday. To be fair, in exchange, she’s frying a turkey for my family.

You’re asking if the Biden cabinet will make room for members of the political party that sells t-shirts reading: “I’d rather be a Russian than a Democrat!”?
Yeah, I don’t think so. You fucking moron.
Honestly, I have difficulty even imagining members of the Treason Party qualifying for a security clearance these days.

After hearing Sidney Powell state that Doug Collins was the actual winner in his GA Senate race before Hugo Chavez changed the votes I am encouraging all MAGAts to rectify that injustice by casting write in votes for Collins in both runoff elections.
Release the Kracken!

Re: the idea of naming a Republican to the cabinet …
I’ll bet OMB would lure Toomey into giving up his Senate slot (he’s already said he’s not running for reelection in 2022) …
And Wolf could fill the slot for 2 years plus give a Dem incumbency for the midterm.

Thank you all,. Sir Tristan woke me up at 3 AM complaining that he’d been patient enough, where was his buddy? He took me on a tour of RJ’s favorite sleeping spots, clearly demonstrating he’d been searching for him through the night.
All I can tell them is I know he made a big splash when he returned to the Pool of Souls.

@WereBear: Deepest condolences WereBear! You gave him a good and well-loved life.

@WereBear: Commenter Just One More Canuck mentioned this on the JRubin thread last night but it got lost in the political discussion. So very sorry. What a life he had with you and his crew! I believe you did a guest post on him a number of years ago and I still remember the story of how he got to you.

You, sir-or-madam-or-other, are a genius!
Imagine nominating, say, Rand Paul for a sub-Cabinet post. What are the chances that he won’t tell some easily-provable lie on his SF-86, thereby committing a Federal felony offense? Bye-bye, see you in 5 years, Randy!
Rinse and repeat until the water runs less treasonous.

Saw a tweet yesterday, post-MI-cert, saying “Biden’s won in Michigan so many times he’s legally required to change his name to Ohio State.”
I thought that was pretty amusing

@Joey Maloney: This. The necessary reform is very simple. You want to run for elective office, or be nominated for appointive office? Then you pass (A) the new-citizen exam, (B) a security clearance, (C) life underwriting. Once in office, repeat (B) and (C) at intervals not to exceed 12 months: fail and you are out, right then, no discussion.

The Laura Ingram video was something else. Just like Trump, his cult members are babies who need to be let down gently. No “fuck your feelings” for them, instead they are treated as the most delicate snowflakes whose hurt feelings need to be given huge consideration. It makes me want to vomit.
Sorry about your loss, WearBear. It’s tough to lose a family member.
Mathguy
That “Southerners still waiting” comment was incredible.
My favorite comment on the shitgibbon’s losses: “Biden’s won so much in Michigan he’s legally obligated to change his name to Ohio State.”

Thanks, everyone, about Reverend Jim. He was the inspiration for the blog and the books, so his work will go on!
