From The New Yorker: Calling it “the best news I’ve had in months,” Donald J. Trump has excitedly accepted congressional Democrats’ offer to star in a new, nationally broadcast television show.
Trump boasted to reporters about his new TV opportunity, which was presented to him, on Thursday, by Representative Jamie Raskin.
“It’s going to be similar to ‘The Apprentice,’ because I’ll be sitting behind a table, but it will also be a little different,” Trump explained. “Instead of me asking a lot of questions, people will be asking me the questions. That should spice things up.”
The former President said that the “most amazing” aspect of his new show would be the number of networks broadcasting it.
Dang, Andy!! Hopefully the follow up will a show about the Orange Pervert** broadcast from prison cell. It will be called: Orange** is the New Red! RESIST the Republican Reich!!
From Daily Kos: On Tuesday, the body of Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick, who was killed by pro-Trump insurrectionists during the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, was laid in honor in the Capitol Rotunda. President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden arrived that evening to pay their respects. Americans were able to watch the ceremony on multiple news channels—but not on Fox News. On Fox News, Sicknick’s ceremony was barely mentioned.
Instead, Fox News’ ever-frothing opinion hosts did what they do best: stoke audience panic over all number of bizarre side issues, from a barrage of far-right conspiracy theories promoted by the fascist Laura Ingraham to Sean Hannity’s important report that somebody got ejected from a Lakers game “FOR HECKLING LEBRON.”
Fox’s attempt to mostly pretend Sicknick’s ceremony was not happening did not go without notice. In fact, it seems pretty much everybody noticed it, to the point that both blasting and mocking Fox for their silence became the evening’s hot Twitter pastime.
Most of the criticism noted that Fox News had long pretended that “Blue Lives Matter,” only to have it not matter at all when it came to an officer murdered by a Trump-devoted mob. The Washington Post even put some numbers to it with an analysis of how often the network even bothered to mention Sicknick compared to competing networks, even after the network ran “thousands” of segments about other police deaths during the previous four years.
Accusing Fox News of hypocrisy over the death of police officers, however, is giving them far too much credit. Fox News is not minimizing the death of Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick because they wish to downplay the violence of Trump supporters toward police. Fox News is minimizing Sicknick’s death because they are accessories to his death. [emphasis added]
Click through! This author (Hunter) could not be more spot on! RESIST the Republican Reich!!
From YouTube (MSNBC Channel): No Apology From Greene As House Removes Her From Committees
Thanks to the 11 Republican Representatives that voted for America and against the Nazi Republican Reich. But the sad fact that there were so few of them is ample evidence to show which side the Republican Party is on. RESIST the Republican Reich!!
From YouTube (a blast from the past): Dust in the Wind
For me, this seems particularly appropriate at the moment. Ah… the memories! RESIST the Republican Reich!!
It’s a day to celebrate, here in the CatBox. I had just gotten up from resting my back and was in the throne room. Just aster I flushed, I heard the TV in the next room announce that Joe Biden had won Pennsylvania and is now the President elect of the United States. In short, I was the one to flush the foulest turd in US history. Tomorrow is is a Holy Day the Church of the Ellipsoid Orb. My Broncos are playing the Atlanta Falcons, but it won’t be televised here. But I’ll even let their turd birds beat my Broncos if they promise to elect Ossoff and Warnock in January. Tomorrow is also a WWWendy day, but I will still be writing. Wendy won’t be here until mid-afternoon. Thank God for blessing America today!

From Daily Kos: Moscow Mitch McConnell is twisting his pretend mustache and rubbing his hands together in preparation for how he’s going to block everything presumed President Joe Biden wants to accomplish. And reportedly, Biden is considering “limiting its prospective Cabinet nominees to those who Mitch McConnell can live with, according to people familiar with the matter.” That’s Axios reporting, so all the grains of salt.
They have a source “close to McConnell” who tells them that “a Republican Senate would work with Biden on centrist nominees but no ‘radical progressives’ or ones who are controversial with conservatives.” The source adds: “It’s going to be armed camps.” It’s not just Axios. CNBC reporter Eamon Javers confirms from a source in touch with Biden’s transition team says “the transition will have to re-evaluate the names it has in mind for Senate confirmed positions. May have to send more moderate figures who can get through. Wall Street will like that.” So Biden is definitely hearing that message. That doesn’t mean he has to heed it. If he wants to save the nation, he will ignore it and bulldoze through with the progressive team he promised the millions of people who’ve worked and voted for him.
In other words, Bought Bitch Midnight Moscow Mitch will accept nothing to the left of Joe Liebermann. I like the Idea I heard from JD, I think. Nominate a strong liberal, and when BBMMM says NO, make an interim appointment to the left of AOC. RESIST!!
From NY Times: Control of the Senate hung in the balance on Friday in Georgia after Senator David Perdue, a Republican, fell just short of the majority of votes he needed to win re-election, setting the stage for a second January runoff in the rapidly changing state.
With the Senate narrowly divided between Republicans and Democrats, the twin rematches scheduled for just two weeks before Inauguration Day will almost certainly determine which party comes away with the power to shape the fate of Joseph R. Biden Jr.’s agenda if he prevails to win the White House, as expected.
Facing such extraordinarily high stakes, both parties were quickly positioning themselves for a nine-week, year-end sprint that could cost another $100 million and amount to a referendum on the outcome of the presidential election. The runoffs promised to thrust a quickly evolving Georgia into the center of the nation’s political fray and test the extent of Democrats’ emerging strength in what was once a Republican stronghold in the Deep South.
Georgia’s special Senate election has been destined for a runoff since Tuesday, when the Rev. Dr. Raphael Warnock, a Democrat, and Senator Kelly Loeffler, a Republican, emerged as the top two vote getters in a crowded field vying to replace the retired senator Johnny Isakson.
I plan to donate to the campaigns of both Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock. It’s a long shot, but if we win either, we take the Senate. RESIST!!
From YouTube (Bernie Sanders Channel): After Biden’s Victory, Our Struggle Continues
I fully agree with Bernie on all significant issues with the following caveat. We tend to want big change and want it NOW! However, most American voters are too timid and cowardly for radical change. As frustrating as it can be for us, the only way for us to get the change that we want and that America needs is through an incremental approach. Fortunately, Joe Biden is an incrementalist. Were he not, Trump would have won. We’ll need to hold Joe’s feet to the fire to make sure he doesn’t buy so-called Republican compromises they will never intend to keep, but we also need to give him our support when the good things he tries to accomplish are not as extensive, as fast, or as perfect as we want. RESIST!!
