Huh? Why would she do that? I'm guessing at some point she will inform the President of the Senate, or possibly the Governor of California, that she intends to resign her Senate seat effective noon on January 20, 2021.


ETA: Unless she works out something with Newsom, and they arrange something. The point is she won't leave that seat vacant. If Newsom can make an immediate appointment, she'll work something out with him.

And she'll be back in the Senate the first time it convenes after January 20, but this time the senators will be calling her "Madam President."

The Senate is back in session on Jan. 3.

I voted for him in 1988, so I didn't have anything against him. This time around, I thought he was too old, but was good enough. As time goes on, I think he might be best man for this time.

Mr. Rogers, but with an attitude. Basically good and decent fellow who wants to get along, but will call B.S. at the right times. That's how I see him. I think that's what we need right now. I suppose we'll find out.

The way I see it, from afar, is that Biden is 'mostly harmless' and, I hope, chosen by the Democrats for exactly that. He is the person only hard-core trumpers can object to. And it seems to have worked, but NOW, the real fight starts: Now all Trump's lies must be challenged. Now, the DEMs must find their next candidate. Now they must find out how they can counter a lying, cheating opponent.

And we can hope, such decent people as must exist among Republicans must consider and decide where they will go forward.

Another lawsuit was filed yesterday in Wisconsin. Brought by Dean Mueller asking for an emergency injunction by the State Supreme Court to block certification of the 2020 Presidential Election.

His complaint? He says the use of drop boxes was unconstitutional. That the Wisconsin Elections Commission cannot authorize this. Only the State legislature can.

The remedy he is asking?

That any ballots using the drop boxes to be illegal.

or

That the State must hold another election before December 14.

or


Have the State legislature choose the electors.

I'm really curious if the Wisconsin Supreme Court would even hear such a complaint given the timing. This issue could have been raised before the election but wasn't and the remedies is to disenfranchise a hell of a lot of voters or all Wisconsin voters.

Watching Legal Eagle's podcast tells me that the Doctrine of laches is what I'm searching for in describing Dean Mueller's attempt to reverse an election post hoc on a technicality.

You think Republicans will keep digging that hole, now that Trump is a LOSER? I hope so.

75 million people voted for a man who ****** up a pandemic response, crashed the economy and lied more than 30,000 times while in office.

Of course they'll keep supporting him, he's box office dynamite. When the Democrats get bored and complacent in 2022 the GOP will have the house and senate. :(

We can hope that, in spite of Sleepy Joe (much as I hate it, I must admit that that nickname is not at all far off), the Democrat party is realizing that the battle is on, and they must start fighting ... now.

Pedantic correction. Actually, not even 74 million, but Trump might get there.

That’s quite the dilemma.

It might have seemed like a good idea for Biden to have a press conference where he clearly laid out why he was NOT in any way a socialist. But knowing human psychology, it would have probably just cemented the false narrative that he WAS a socialist - why else would he spend so much time talking about it? Same for “open borders” or “destroying the suburbs” or “hurting God”. I think that’s why “The Big Lie” works as well as it does.

Not *quite* that big of a dilemma, honestly. I wouldn't have ever recommended a press conference that dealt with why he was "not a socialist," to be clear. More focus on, for example, the variety of ways that he AND the Democrats are pushing for more good paying jobs across America would not have been amiss, though, at all. That would serve multiple uses, regardless, helping to create a much truer counter-narrative to the Republican lies.

It's very hard to beat "I'll bring back all the jobs you want."

Nonsense

They see the death of democracy, and worse, in a stolen election.

Like the doughy Trump supporters who wore shirts exclaiming, "I'd rather be Russian than Democrat." An expression that a generation ago would have them got shot, or at least beat into a coma.

You seem to be going from one 'woe is the world' to another as soon as your current woe turns out not to be one.

I don't get it.

And it only cost him $2.5 million.

Bubba, you can learn this lesson for free here on the forum...if you believe in free education, that is.

They took his money, filed 4 lawsuits and then dismissed them before any of them went to court. This was millions of dollars of legal costs?

Nice job if you can get it.

Thats what the cam footage looked like to me

You haven't seen the footage Bubba. That's why you couldn't link to it. You got caught making up a story again.

The police's affidavit says the gun was in his holster matching the video evidence.
 
I was just pushed the news that some top Republicans are encouraging Trump to attend Biden’s inauguration, “...for the good of the party”.

I, for one, hope he doesn’t attend. If he does, much of the coverage and attention may end up being about Trump - how he does or doesn’t behave, that sort of thing. It can only detract from the solemnity and solemnity of Biden’s swearing in.

Just Stay Away!™️
