I've known this for years. Why should Wyoming get the same about of representation in the Senate as CA? Why should a presidential vote in WY be worth five times a presidential vote in CA in our anti-democratic EC? This is absolutely ludicrous. If we can't get rid of the EC, then we need DC and PR statehood and the John Lewis Voting Rights Act NOW!

It is up to the ststes.

As always washing Dotard's balls until the end. Snippy you should rent yourself out to a golf course this summer, you might be able to earn some scratch and move out of your mother's basement.

The fact is that only the President of the United States can order the Defense Production Act, which should have been activated for PPE and testing supplies long ago. The fact that there STILL aren't N95 masks for everybody who wants a supply and testing for everybody who wants one is completely unacceptable! It should now be implemented for vaccine production as well.

The President is the only one who can order the US military, national guard and FEMA to set up field hospitals and vaccination sites. They can be staffed by locals, but should be overseen by the Feds.

The federal government is the only government entity that can legally run a deficit in order make sure enough resources are provided for vaccinations. The states and localities have seen their budgets hit hard by the Trump virus, and many are at risk of having to lay-off Firefighters, Police Officers and other essential workers.

There have already been several major communications breakdowns between Dotard's Regime and the locals regarding the number of vaccinations to expect and the number that are actually delivered. That has to stop, because that in itself is very wasteful. I know our county was expecting about 30k vaccinations, and had set up infrastructure for that. When they got 10% of the expected number, most of those sites had to be shut down. I know people who are desperate for their shot, and can't find out where they can get it. It's obvious the Drumpf Regime are a bunch of complete incompetents. Fortunately the Biden Administration is full of competent, experienced, intelligent people who will get the job done. Unfortunately we now see that the Regime was blocking them from learning that there was no distribution plan, which means President Biden's people have to come up with one from scratch, which takes some time, and could have been done over the past month had they known.

The host of a current events radio show I listen to out of LA read some posts from one of the Reichwing sites on her show yesterday. The Cultists were crying about Biden being inaugurated instead of arrested, and somebody posted that Dotard and President Biden had top secret face exchange surgery, so when you saw President Biden taking the oath of office, it was really Trump who would even stumble when reading to mimic President Biden's speech patterns, and when you see Trump on trial later this year, it'll really be President Biden. I'm not sure how that works, unless Combover Quisling also got about 125 pounds of fat sucked out of fat gut and fatter ---. I'm not sure if it was intended to funny, but it is EXACTLY the kind of Batschitt crazy garbage we'd see from the human pustules that follow Q.

I am sure the Biden DOJ is pushing Florida very hard and providing all the evidence and support they need to charge and convict this grifting, criminal POS. The prosecutors and investigators must hate that Dotard destroyed what was no doubt years of hard work and what looks to be a righteous prosecution as a political favor between criminals. I wonder if DOJ could find another state with a significant number of stupid Trumpanzees who would sign over their retirement and Social Security checks so this human pustule could live high on the hog. If it's a blue state the AG would be a lot more inclined to charge one of Dear Leader's buddies.

Short of starting a war or unleashing nukes in the last week of his reign of error, Dotard really did try to burn the place down and then salt the ground. Fortunately, we elected a POTUS who has been there before, and he's surrounded himself with experience, expertise and competence to reverse what Dotard, Pompeo, and all the actings across the executive branch tried to do. It'll take a few months to unwind some of this malevolent malice and wanton destruction, but I have faith in President Biden and his team.

He said, "I tested positively toward negative" when he got a COVID test, so he is also positively the best at being the worst POTUS in history, and it's not even close. Nixon, Bush 43, Wilson, Hoover, they were all losers compared to Dotard, who ran the country the same way he ran his casinos with predictable results.

Proving once again that Dotard has absolutely no concern for his base. He's just interested in how much money he and his sycophants can steal from them.

Biden has a window of opportunity to use a Presidential Determination to declare Oathkeepers, Proud Boys, 3%ers, etc. as terrorist organizations before the GOP goes back to its old ways.
It may get nasty,but it's necessary.

I completely agree, and he would have PLENTY of evidence and support from Dotard's own FBI.

Dotard's circle has gotten so small that he's now taking strategy meetings with an insane moron who grifts Xtians by selling them awful pillows. The only reason Combover Quisling is meeting with him is because he needs his balls washed and everybody is gone from the WH. The My Pillow guy needs to go to prison as well, he is planning and encouraging an insurrection.

The only "lawyers" crazy enough to work for free and destroy what's left of their reputations are Ghouliani, Wood and Powell.

It has long been law enforcement training that officers who lose possession of their gun almost always are killed by their gun. They are trained that somebody trying to take your weapon from your person is considered an attempted lethal use of force.

I heard Representative Jason Crow say that the majority of GOP Congresscriters are "paralyzed with fear" of physical harm from their base. He said that some of them actually cried and said they would support impeachment, but out of fear for the safety of their families they would vote against it. During the impeachment debate, some of these idiots on the house floor claimed that Dems were inflaming the mob, and that was bad. So don't do the right thing out of fear of the mob. That is why we call that mob of racist, toothless, knuckle-draggers who attempted the coup on 01/06 "Terrorists." The same is true for the GOP wimps who voted against ratifying the election, some of those wienies reportedly voted with Combover Quisling out of physical fear. They no longer fear the mean tweet, which was their former excuse for supporting the biggest loser in American political history, now they do so out of FEAR OF HIS CULT!

Terrorism uses the threat of physical violence to change political action due to fear. The terrorists were successful. Their violent insurrection changed political action. I've said this before, IF YOU ARE AFRAID OF PHYSICAL VIOLENCE FROM YOUR BASE MAYBE YOU SHOULD GET THE HELL OUT OF POLITICS! Hopefully, the Republicans in the Senate will have more stones than all but 10 of the Reps in the house.

Oh, and Humgiver, I have NEVER heard of a Democratic lawmaker voting out of fear of physical harm from the Democratic base, or even Antifa, so STFU with your inane both-sides Bullcrap! The Terrorists are Republicans, they have ALWAYS been Republicans (Church bombings, the assassination of doctors, bombing abortion clinics, the murder of police officers, attempt to kidnap a state governor, and now violent insurrection). The blood is obviously all-over the hands of Republicans over the years.

I know that Speaker Pelosi and Pence were the primary targets for the terrorists, but imagine what would have happened had they found AOC or Ilhan Omar. These morons think both of these women are as Dotard has called them, "enemies" of the United States. Based on how violent these idiots were on that day, I have no doubt that they would have seriously injured or killed them. AOC and every Democratic member had a right to be afraid.

"What was interesting during the insurrection was that her fellow Representatives seemed to be afraid of her, and did not "feel safer" being with her because she had the gun."

I suspect that had the terrorists found them, that she would have pulled her gun and joined them in holding as hostages the Democratic members and those Republicans deemed not sufficiently loyal to Dear Leader. I think that more than a few Democratic members believe the same thing.

I work in Law Enforcement. I was concerned this past summer that I would be expected to respond to the George Floyd protests and do something (restrict somebody's right to peacefully protest) with which I disagreed. Fortunately, that never happened. The George Floyd event in our small city was peaceful, our department was proactive, we reached out to the organizers and helped with the planning, we provided traffic control and security and it went perfectly.

Somebody who knew of my progressive politics once asked me what I would do if I was expected to enforce a law that I disagreed with. I responded that I would use whatever discretion was granted to me, and if there was none, I would look for a different line of work. Over the past 20 years, I've worked with and happily debated many co-workers who were conservative. I have noticed a significant change with some of my coworkers and many former LE "friends" in the past four years, and especially the past year. They have become "radicalized" by Trumpism. Some have gone full Qanon. One of them, who is retired but is still a FB "friend," posted support for the Proud Boys over the summer and has posted support for the crazy Trumper woman killed at the Capitol. Others have been posting about how the election was stolen, how Trump has been the greatest POTUS ever and how he was robbed, and terrible Reichwing media lies about President and VP elect Biden and Harris. I wonder if that radicalization was why the Capitol police response, allowing fellow officers to be dragged into the crowd and beaten, one to death, was so much more restrained than what I would have expected to see.

I am amazed at how restrained the response was, the officers did little to defend themselves or their partners. We saw what happened when they capped the one woman trying to enter the Speaker's Lobby through the broken window, that totally stopped those dirtbags. It just takes a couple of deaths to break the mob mentality and remind them that they too could be killed. If I was being pulled into an an angry violent crowd I doubt that I would have been so restrained.

JFC, Dotard has the most licked taint in history! Dear Leader wears a girdle, lifts in his shoes, and more makeup than a drag queen. He also uses more hair product than any five 16-year-olds I've ever met. He can't lift a tiny bottle of water to his mouth without using both hands, he's scared to death of ramps and steps (because of the lifts), and he's hung like a tiny mushroom. He used his daddy's connections to dodge the draft, and there is no suggestion that he has EVER done a hard or productive days work in his entire life. He is without a doubt the LEAST masculine person to ever occupy the WH. Lindsey Graham is more masculine than Mango Mussolini, and if you're not careful, he'll hit you with his purse! HRC is more masculine that Combover Quisling, she certainly has larger hands.

Dotard loves him the "poorly educated," those folks don't dress in Armani or even in Trump branded clothing. In this age of online shoppers and bizarre substitutions, Combover Quisling wanted a Brooks Brothers riot and got a trailer park insurgency instead.

"Well, would you look at that. Both Dems and Reps denied the help and Libs STILL, even when it is written as plain as day, refuse to accept their part in any wrong-doing."

Humtake, as usual you are a moron, now you are a seditionist moron! From something called Google, "The Honorable Paul D. Irving was sworn in as the Sergeant at Arms of the U.S. House of Representatives on January 17, 2012, during the 2nd session of the 112th Congress. He is the thirty-sixth person to hold this post since the House of Representatives first met in New York City in 1789. Prior to this, Mr. Irving was an Assistant Director of the U.S. Secret Service from 2001 to 2008, serving as a Special Agent with the Secret Service for 25 years."

Since you're obviously too stupid to do the math, the GOP controlled the house in 2012. The Democrats obviously mistakenly thought that as former Secret Service brass Irving would be non-partisan, and so should keep his job. I'm sure they won't make that mistake again.

I heard today from a former FBI supervisor that the bureau took this thing seriously and did knock and talks with the 12 most infamous leaders of the groups who lead the insurrection. These leaders were already under active investigation. So thanks to the FBI's productivity, it appears they might have cut the head off the snake. Maybe that's why the seditionists seemed so disorganozed, and the plan, and once they were inside, things appeared to have fallen apart.

Malcolm Nance monitors Reichwing social media for a living, and he warned of this happening at least two weeks before the attempted coup, and was talking about it on radio and TV.

"But. I'm not sure what else they were hoping to accomplish."

According to one security analyst who tracks far right social media, the goal was to find and "arrest" the Democratic lawmakers. It's unknown what would have followed, I think ultimately what they had in store for Gretchen Whitmer, to put them on trial in their little kangaroo court and then execute them. Images of at least one Trumapnzee with a fistful of zip ties while he's jumping over a railing inside the Capitol seems to confirm that analysis. Some of them will do anything for the GKOTUS (God King Of the United States, something the far Reich has been calling Dotard on their message boards).

Word from inside the WH was that Dotard was enjoying the show and telling people that the attempted coup was good for him. If Pence had not intervened, I wonder what Trump would have thought had the seditionists found where Pelosi and the other Democratic leaders were sheltering, killed their guards, ziptied the leaders and threatened to execute them. Would Dotard have been clapping and laughing? He truly has lost whatever was left of his tiny, syphilis riddled mind!

The Proud Boys/Boogalosers/White Nationalists and the Cops are like the fable of the frog and the scorpion, the scorpion won't sting the frog as long as it sees a use for the him. As soon as their paths diverge, the frog is dead. The vast majority of police murders over the past 20 years when a political ideology for the suspect could be perceived, have been committed by right wing terrorists. I'm not aware of any police murders by the far left (Antifa). If you disagree, cite some cases, I'll be happy to educate myself. Cops need to wake up, you can't trust them!

Actions have consequences, now Hawley, a highly educated lawyer who has clerked for SCOTUS , is claiming that his publisher's decision is a violation of his 1st Amendment rights. He knows better, the 1st Amendment stops government from limiting your speech, it doesn't force a publisher to print a seditionist's book, that's called anti-capitalism.
