| Ron Johnson leaves your COVID death to chance, or maybe the Giant Meteor will get you anyway Senator Ron Johnson’s theory of epidemiology is that it’s your tough luck if you get sick and die, maybe you’ll be in Ron DeathSantis’s Florida, the current epicenter of US COVID contagion. If it was a “peaceful protest”, then why should we care about... |

| hack of conservative foundation is still about Russia doing a solid for previous guy and GOP Conservative media did a whatabout noting that Wisconsin’s Bradley Foundation servers got hacked, but the reality could be something quite different, considering how the RWNJ disinformation tropes are running so far this week. It seems designed to... |

| previous guy's post-defeat scams loom even larger and yet his rubes still surrender their money Jonestown Survivor Rep. Jackie Spier (D-CA) Calls Trump a 'Political Cult Leader'. He fundraises with promises of freedom defined as a return to some fictive version of a segregated America enforced by police. Fortunately he’s an incompetent politician... |

| The GQP's 138 'pussy' perfidy of 6 January 2021 Remember the over 100 GOP House members who voted to install previous guy as dictator on 6 January. Remember also what Trump called the cops who were abused by the ‘normal tourists” on that day. The facts continue to close in, however slowly. The... |

| "All Trump needs to see is that you’re making a defense, no matter how nonsensical..." Step by step, inch by inch… the details of the manic mango’s day on 6 January will become clearer with the House Select Committee. Even if he dummies up, Charlie McCarthy’s cousin Kevin could wind up in the barrel or as a barrel. It’s ‘hammer time’,... |

| Despite huge fundraising haul, Trump still isn't paying Rudy, who is reportedly 'close to broke' Donald Trump doesn’t pay his bills, and he isn’t loyal to anyone. This is like saying the sky is blue and the sun sets in the west. It’s as plain as the pug nose on Trump’s jowly ape scrotum of a face, and if you end up getting burned by this universal... |

| "just the opposite" ...is this the last month for democracy? Only in the alternative universe A delusional Mark Meadows hallucinated a shadow government as we enter the month promised by the pillow guy for previous guy’s ‘reinstatement’. The ‘sprawling work of collaborative right-wing fiction’ continues, aided by several right-wing media... |

| DeathSantis bans mask mandates as Florida leads nation in COVID hospitalizations More of the same Ron DeSantis, allowing people to hate government but not him in the Trumpist tradition. Preventing a mandate throws the responsibility to parents, hence causing greater public chaos and conflict at the school district level. Therefore... |

| Trump's COVID-19 testing czar warns the unvaccinated: 'You’re going to get the delta variant' Honestly, I’d forgotten that Donald Trump had a COVID-19 testing czar. It doesn’t seem like his bag. At all. I could maybe see a hydroxychloroquine czar or a nougat czar or a “where’s the ... |

| Trump to DoJ: 'just say that the election was corrupt + leave the rest to me and the R. Congressmen’ The arsenal smolders as the House Oversight committee releases meeting notes showing that Trump wanted the DoJ to declare the 2020 election corrupt, in advance of the 6 January 2021 insurrection. Chairwoman @RepMaloney issued the following statement in... |

| Trump's aides reportedly fretting over his potential toxic touch in future endorsements Donald Trump is a colossal, outsized, Brobdingnagian loser. You might even say he’s a “yuge” loser. And while he’s always been a loser (see also: multiple bankruptcies), his loser bona fides are shining particularly brightly these days. He lost the... |

| MAGA secretary of state candidate says she knows Trump won California ... because she's an empath You know, if we’re just going to go with our hunches about political races and assume they mean something, then I must insist that Joe Biden won the 2020 presidential election by a final score of 154 million to, I don’t know, 8. Total votes, that is.... |

| Trump may be forced to testify about 6 January, Liz Cheney says: ‘This is not a game’ The deposed will be deposed. Even if he defies a subpoena and lies, this time under oath, Trump needs to be there. This is deadly serious. Congresswoman Liz Cheney, the former House Republican conference chair, left open the possibility of subpoenaing... |

| previous guy rants like a Russian as the weird turn pro: “Wokeism makes you lose” A reminder that Trumpian disinformation is global. The latest Kremlin media hate rant resembles a recent speech by Trump in Phoenix. Why is his messaging shtick so similar to Russian media. Even stranger is Russian state media suggesting like Pat... |

| previous guy is still no longer POTUS, but now Fox News thinks Fauci's in charge Remember when ‘Gondor had no king’? Lawfare nuttery happened as Trumpists tried to sue to overthrow the government because of the Big Lie, among other even stranger reasons. Needless to say they did attend the insurrection. And they did want to seize... |

| Mo' Trouble for Mo Brooks as justice closes in Mo Brooks is trying to get some legal cover for his role in the insurrection, and the DoJ is having none of it.

| the Insurrection's 'Person Ten' may be a patsy for the Oath Keepers' whip hand. As we open the Select Committee hearings many items seem so far incongruous. It may be that Michael Simmons may be a stalking horse for actions of the Oath Keepers in 6 January 2021, as Congress begins its inquiries led by the House Select Committee.... |
