  1. Stephen King tells us how he really feels:

     


    Next: flash mob “kneel-ins” to make Mike Pence leave his location.

    1. Oh, that Stephen King. At first, I thought you were referring to the other one.

      Tis the season for Trump's former biggest supporters to tell how they really feel about him. (see Corker, Bob)

    2. The hard part about believing, on a Monday morning, that this was a pre-planned political stunt . . . 

      . . . is that you would have to accept that Cheetolini TwoScoops has finally figured out how to plan, let alone pre-plan, someting ???

      Oh, well, chalking that one up to blind cucumbers, or broken crocks, or whatever . . . 

      Next, here’s hoping this all starts a new national trend — led by a leaderlyingish Leaderette Pence, of course — of loyal Americans everywhere walking out of whatever it is they are doing or attending whenever some son-of-a-bitch does anything — anything —that disrespects the dignity of the Office of the President . . .

      The Republican’s Guide to Presidential Etiquette

      . . . hmmmmm, well, maybe everyone but Republicans, I guess??!??

    3. I figured as much. He had to know it would happen since it began with a player from the '49ers. So which one was actually guilty of staging a cheap publicity stunt?

  2. Electoral College Alert!

    More news from El Paso County, that place on the map where our Big-Time Establishment Denver-centric Dem Geniuses see dragons and ghosts rather than a political environment with potential for changing the obsolete Electoral College (among many other things):

    Last November, from his downtown Colorado Springs home, local math educator Bob Nemanich, one of the 538 members of the Electoral College, helped launch a movement to try to change the way the United States chooses its president.

    Nearly a year later, he is still fighting. 

    Nemanich is named as a plaintiff in a federal lawsuit filed by national election law expert, Harvard Law School professor and attorney Lawrence Lessig, who briefly ran for president in 2016 before dropping out ahead of the Democratic primary. The suit claims Colorado’s Republican secretary of state, Wayne Williams, intimidated Nemanich and two other electors into voting for Hillary Clinton during the official Electoral College vote on Dec. 19 at the state Capitol in Denver. The suit seeks $1 in damages, plus legal fees. 

    But the lawsuit is bigger than that.

    No one should assume any good will on the part of Williams, so please beware, but it does seem possible that real good can come from our vaunted "purple" status that people around here revel in.
