    I wonder how much fear Trump & his kids live in knowing the amount of legal and financial jeopardy he finds himself in 20 days from now will negate enforcement of all those NDA’s he made his WH staff sign? @realDonaldTrump— NoelCaslerComedy (@CaslerNoel) January 1, 2021

    @Patricia Kayden:

    While I would not be surprised if they’re generally terrified of the legal trouble descending, I doubt the idea that NDAs will be invalidated has entered their thoughts.  Trump is insane, going through a nervous breakdown and flailing about spouting conspiracy theories and screaming at anyone who dares tell him the truth.  The boys are stupid yes-men.  Ivanka is a stupid yes-woman.  Kushner has some plan he’s sure is genius and will save him and Ivanka from any trouble, just like he solved the Palestinian peace problem.

    Went grocery shopping earlier today. The older guy ahead of me at the cash register left his wallet lying right there on the counter and headed for the exit.

    @Salty Sam: I just watched The TAMI Show on DVD (thanks, whichever jackal brought that one to my attention!) and caught footage of The Beach Boys circa 1965. Pretty impressive, but not nearly as impressive as James Brown and Marvin Gaye. I can’t believe how twerpy The Rolling Stones looked trying to go on after JB and the Famous Flames. Mick was obviously trying to cop some of JB’s moves and vibe and ended up looking like a scarecrow having spasms. I felt embarrassed for him.

    The JB biopic “Get On Up” (Chadwick Bozeman!) had a great bit at the TAMI Show.  JB tore up the stage (Mick and the boys watching from the wings, mouths hanging open), and as he walked off stage, JB looks at the Stones and says, “Welcome to America! Good luck!”

    Jagger is reported to have said the decision to follow JB was the worst mistake of his early career.

    That party is pathetic. I can see why the big orange baby fled back to the WH rather than be seen at it.

    Just finished Carl Hiaasian’s “Squeeze Me” and cannot recommend it  highly enough if you like his stuff. Laugh out loud skewering of Twitler and his Palm Beach fan club. The president is given the code name “Mastodon” and demands to go to the DC zoo and be photographed with them. The First Lady is sleeping with a Secret Service agent who is of Arab American heritage but has to use a pseudonym because it would never do to have someone named Youseff around Twitler. There is a group of obscenely rich ancient widows who stan the president and wanted to call themselves the “Potus Pussies” but are persuaded to use “Potussies” instead. The book starts with their leader disappearing from the grounds of a charity ball leaving her sequinned bag and half a tab of Ecstasy  by the pond. It’s hilarious.

    Regardless whether you went to bed at eight or stayed up polishing the cat, you had a better New Years Eve than these mooks.

    “Guests who paid four-figures for tickets to President Trump’s annual New Year’s Eve party were left to party with his personal attorney Rudy Giuliani, his two adult sons and various figures from the conservative media — none of whom wore masks — after the President made a last-minute decision to ditch the event and return to Washington,” CNN reports.

    “Guests angled for selfies with Giuliani, who was wearing a blue velvet tuxedo jacket, and Fox News host Judge Jeanine Pirro, along with personalities from the right-wing television network OANN.”

    Pelosi announces proposed rules package for incoming Congress
    Zack Budryk01/01/21 02:32 PM EST
    Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and House Rules Committee Chairman Jim McGovern (D-Mass.) announced their proposed rules for the 117th Congress Friday.
    The Democratic rules package includes the revocation of floor privileges for former members of Congress convicted of crimes connected to their service or election.
    It would also make it a violation of the code of conduct for members, officers or employees of Congress to identify a whistleblower.
    During impeachment proceedings against President Trump last year, both Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) and Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) named the man they believed to be the intelligence community whistleblower whose report prompted the impeachment inquiry.
    The rules package would also ban members from knowingly disseminating manipulated images or “deepfake” videos.
    The package would also establish a Select Committee on Economic Disparity and Fairness in Growth and require committees to incorporate plans for how their work in the session ahead would address disparities. And it would require committees to post any amendments considered at mark-up online within 48 hours of consideration, and increase the availability of the machine-readable versions of legislative documents.

    Beginning in 2004, Gore hosted the PBS television series In the Life, which focused on LGBT issues.[21] In a 2005 interview with After Ellen, she stated she was a lesbian and had been in a relationship with luxury jewelry designer Lois Sasson since 1982.[21] She had known about her same-sex attraction from the time she was 20 and stated that although the music business was “totally homophobic”, she never felt she had to pretend she was straight. “I just kind of lived my life naturally and did what I wanted to do,” she said. “I didn’t avoid anything, I didn’t put it in anybody’s face.”[2]

    Gore had been working on a memoir and a Broadway show based on her life[22] when she died of lung cancer on February 16, 2015, at the NYU Langone Medical Center in Manhattan, New York City, at the age of 68.[23][24] At the time of her death, Gore and her partner, Lois Sasson, had been together for 33 years.[25]

    Her New York Times obituary stated, “with songs like ‘It’s My Party,’ ‘Judy’s Turn to Cry’, and the indelibly defiant 1964 single ‘You Don’t Own Me’ — all recorded before she was 18 — Gore made herself the voice of teenaged girls aggrieved by fickle boyfriends, moving quickly from tearful self-pity to fierce self-assertion.

    I don’t have cable, so ABC and Fox sports are my only shots at football on broadcast. Loved watching Northwestern  administer CPR to Auburn.

    My dad took the family to a WVU game at the Meadowlands, IIRC Syracuse but could have been Rutgers, long ago now.

    My RWNJ sister-in-law brought a tiny TV and put her coat over her head to watch an Auburn game sitting in a seat that probably cost a couple of hundred dollars. Never thanked dad for the treat, either. He also took the whole family out to dinner in Manhattan, etc, etc. Not the bonding experience he had hoped for… She was a golddigger for sure, from just east of Atlanta and La Grange GA.

    Northwestern really ran a great game plan… nothing Auburn could do to stop them today. Tomorrow I intend to watch Ol’ Miss get a stomp down… one can always hope. It is a strange season, so you never know.

    @raven:  The Stones took in around $11.1 million per show in North America, despite the smaller US and Canadian attendance figures, averaging 49,041 tickets per night.

     

    Thats $224 per ticket. I don’t think so. I went to see them in 1972 in Boston Garden (Jagger was out on bail in think) and I wasn’t paying any $224.  More like $15 if memory serves.
