6 January 2021; A Day worth a Thread

Kudos, more competent than the Capitol Police.

My kids were on that beach too!”
Mayor Vaughn only got off his ass because his kids were in danger. McTurtle realized belatedly that his ass was heading for a guillotine. Mob violence doesn’t get picky.

Did I just hear the asshole from Oklahoma say that he was giving up on the 10-day commission bullshit?

Is Langford signaling that the objections are going to be dropped?

Yes, you did.

I wonder if Cruz is sad or happy he’s already spoken today…

I think anything that is a matter of public record (which would include these speeches) are not covered by copyright protections. It’s on the public record so, by definition, is public.

Are there any kind of sore losers like republican sore fucking losers? Fuck.

Sounds like it to me…see what the next Republican Senator says…

… and Trump to tell everyone who can stand to listen, for the rest of his life, how his impeachment was a rushed kangaroo court. I’m not sure I see the point. Plus won’t the Senate block it anyway?

There’s a reason I’ve been saying I’m not celebrating the New Year until noon on January 20.

Already been covered:

And the next sentence of that Wiki article says that SecArmy “was directed to act in all matters pertaining to the ground component”.

Bennett on fire is always good value.

Here’s an item I think is a bit cute: :grin:

Commenter on Daily Kos says articles of impeachment should be written in Iambic Pentameter. Commenter LimeyExpatDave obliges:
