Pelosi won't be inclined to retribution or anything.

"…When they aren't eating your face."

It's very telling that no matter how much you love someone, you always love them more when you see them asleep.

Four deaths and fourteen police injuries. How exactly could these rioters be judged less harshly than those of last summer?

Also, the Chinese used yesterday as an opportunity to crack down on Hong Kong and Israel used yesterday to attack Syria.

On the following gradient, place your best estimate of the probability that Trump concludes his term with all the powers of the office at his disposal:

• You'll never guess what happened in Portland last night! For the third time this year. (Darn it, how'd you know?? You musta peeked!)

• Via Iowahawk, this is humorous.

• This is the kind of timely, nuanced, forward-looking thought leadership which has made the financial sector one of the most respect realms of American enterprise.

• Impolite expression of a genuine truth.

No. Not at all.

The real loser in this is probably Kamala Harris. Every Democrat-only bill passed will need her vote for at least the next two years.

Most VPs get the benefit of the doubt in being somewhat "out of the loop" when they run for president ("bucket of warm s[p]it" job and all). Gore didn't because he and Clinton both made a big deal about how involved Gore was, until it became a handicap. Cheney couldn't have if he'd run because he was effectively Bush's chief of staff. Harris, as the Senate tie-breaker, will carry every partisan bill with her into 2024.

The comments make me think that these are the people who run Silicon Valley SMDH.

And the first power grab after the Capitol takeover begins. Muriel Bowser, mayor of Washington, DC, has called for Congress to put DC statehood on the Biden agenda within the first 100 days. Included in her call is the immediate transfer of control over the DC National Guard from the president to the mayor of DC. Note, she said mayor, not future governor.

I guess this comment just turned Edward Snowden a bigot, nazi, white supermacist gamergater reeeeeeeeee

My unusual name is shared with an Australian who enjoys a round of golf now and then… (Also enjoys, apparently, the occasional round of beer, given his propensity to call at weird hours to chat bullshit, as if we were cousins; I like him.)

Meanwhile, in the land down under:

Dear Mxxxxxxx,

As you have probably already heard, the Brisbane area and surrounds are going into lockdown from 6pm tonight until 6pm Monday night (11 January 2021). At this stage, the club house will be closed during this period, however, we are still seeking clarification on the whether the playing of golf is included as approved exercise , so there may be a potential to revert back to groups of 2's and no cart. I will provide an update as soon as more information is available.

Regard,

Axxxxxx Mxxxxxxx

I say let 'em play / keep 'em at home / put 'em in isolation chambers / I don't know what to do. They're Aussies.

They walk on the ceiling. You understand that, right?
