He is still gone.
Great God Almighty, the tyrant clown is gone!
A national program of stink reduction is under way and in 49 states, Americans can breathe easily again.
With a mask, of course.
He's gone.

Gloat like a goat!
The tyrant clown is gone.
Never again to pull America's finger!
Today is Answer Your Cat's Questions Day
That's every day – and my answers to my cat are always, "yes, of course."
alleged Capitol rioter in a beaming, gun-toting selfie in front of Rep. Lauren Boebert’s restaurant,
Do we think one of them is a rioter?
Robert Gieswein was arrested and charged, so yeah. Btw, Lauren claimed she “doesn’t know those people” ( the 3% militia she was photographed with in front of the Colorado Capitol in December 2019. One is her campaign manager, Sheronna Bishop.
I just assumed that everybody knew who Gieswein is and what he'd done.
Don't know why – I was expecting this picture to be a Bernie meme
President Biden cleaning house of Trumpers at Voice of America, FCC and NLRB on Day 1 along with countless executive orders to fight Covid 19 and begin the huge task of restoring sanity to the way we do business. Can't wait to see what he does on Day 2.
Yep, hosing out the Trumptrash is a big job.
it was once referred to as 'draining the swamp'.
Now it's just shoveling elephant poop.
I’m glad about the deep cleaning at those agencies, GG.
Discredited Gun Researcher Out at Justice Department
John Lott, who pushes the theory that “more guns = less crime,” was hired in October to advise on crime data.
Lott’s hiring “generated more opposition than almost any other Trump appointment,”
Your joke for today –
One sunny day in January 2021, an old man approached the White House from across Pennsylvania Avenue, where he'd been sitting on a park bench. He spoke to the U.S. Marine standing guard and said, "I would like to go in and meet with President Trump."
The Marine looked at the man and said, "Sir, Mr. Trump is no longer President and no longer resides here." The old man said, "Okay", and walked away.
The following day, the same man approached the White House and said to the same Marine, "I would like to go in and meet with President Trump."
The Marine repeated, "Sir, as I told you yesterday, Mr. Trump is no longer President and no longer resides here." The man thanked him and, again, just walked away.
The third day, the old man approached the White House and spoke to the very same U.S. Marine, saying again, "I would like to go in and meet with President Trump."
The Marine, understandably irritated at this point, looked at the man and said, "Sir, this is the third day in a row you've been here asking to speak to Trump. I've told you each time that he's no longer the President and no longer resides here. Don't you get it?"
The old man looked at the Marine and said, "Oh, I understand. I just love hearing it."
The Marine snapped to attention and said,
“See you tomorrow, Sir.
What?!?!?!?
QBert's been replaced as the JoTD?
She was destined for the Hall of Fame next to Caribou Barbie.
There's only 2 U.S. Court of Appeals and some 44 U.S. District Court vacancies at the moment. However, there's something like 38 court of appeals judges appointed by Democrats who are eligible for senior status. Becoming a senior judge means full salary, less work, ability to pick and choose cases, and most important for present purposes, a vacancy for POTUS to fill.
The courts of appeals are where the rubber truly meets the road in the federal judiciary. Let's see if Biden can outdistance Diaper Don, who with the aid of a friendly Senate managed to seat an astonishing 54 court of appeals judges in one goddamn term.
The Senate Filibuster Is Another Monument to White Supremacy
After a week of trying to get a majority-supported, House passed, Southern Senator-filibustered anti-lynching bill passed in the Senate, Lodge realized that he had only two options: abandon the rest of his legislative priorities or scuttle the anti-lynching bill.
He scuttled the bill.
Over the next few decades, Congress would consider nearly 200 anti-lynching measures. Thanks to the unique procedures of the Senate, and the unique enthusiasm with which they were exploited by Jim Crow’s supporters, not one became law.
Give it up, Moscow Mitch.
Bipartisan Senate gang to talk with Biden aide on coronavirus relief
It didn't take long for Hick to pal up w/Manchin just to make Manchin's gang of 7 make quota.
Look for them to cut Biden's request for COVID relief in half as a 'compromise'
w/some kind of added perk for oil & coal.
The GOP senators in the group are Susan Collins (Maine), Lisa Murkowski (Alaska), Mitt Romney (Utah), Rob Portman (Ohio), Bill Cassidy (La.), Shelley Moore Capito (W.Va.), Jerry Moran (Kan.) and Todd Young (Ind.).
The Democrats are Sens. Joe Manchin (W.Va.), Mark Warner (Va.), Maggie Hassan (N.H.), Jeanne Shaheen (N.H.), Mark Kelly (Ariz.), John Hickenlooper (Colo.), Dick Durbin (Ill.) and Independent Sen. Angus King (Maine), who caucuses with Democrats.
Except King is not a D but he is a Mainer, like Collins.
Let me be one of the first to say, "we told you so." Colorado is no longer a place that should be sending Blue Dogs to Congress. And yet, here we are. Thanks, DNC! Thanks, Pols!
Colorado Democrats elected Hick. Romanoff lost. As far as I know the DNC didn't get a vote.
The DNC and other political action groups got a big, early vote that brought a lot of $$$$ with it.
Hickenlooper endorsement dividing Colorado Democratic Party, internal emails show
An acute case of amnesia has struck Senate Republicans.
There was no deficit spending before Jan. 20th, 2021.
There was no GOP controlled Congress or President that signed bills spending trillions offering little benefit to anyone but their billionaire patrons.
My guess is their biggest objection is they just can’t wrap their little minds around the preposterous idea that a package of Covid relief should actually go for anything as patently outlandish as, you know, Covid relief? . . .
Precisely! Krugman has been making that point for months, but Republicans continue to put their faith in Quackonomists like Arthur Laffer.
RIP Hammerin' Hank Aaron, who played in an era when major league baseball was about more than just who's best at hiding PED use.
