That’s why, in politics “How much is this gonna cost?” comes up only when dealing with the poor. ---

Hey everyone, This will be my last post of 2020, and I just wanted to say thanks for this thread and the SDMB in general. There were times this year when I truly felt the ground slipping out from under me, and the insight and wit from so many of you felt like my strongest lifeline to sanity. While I have friends, family and coworkers IRL, you folks have become a community I consider every bit as real. Thanks, be well, and let’s start getting shit turned around in 2021! ---

However, it’s only 4:20 CST where I live. IOW very early in the day. Donnie just ditched his Florida New Year’s Eve party and flew back to Washington. He’s gunning (so to speak) for Mikey. We’ve got HOURS to go before the calendar page officially turns over to 2021. **Anything** can happen between now and then. We could be at war with Iran. The Proud Boys could set up camp on the White House lawn. Hell, Donnie could pour gasoline on the Truman Balcony, shoot fireworks at it, and burn the White House to the ground. The day is young, my friend. Don’t go to bed early. ---

> [@HelenGawn](#): > > Has Pence returned from his ski trip? My theory is that he’ll have an “accident” and be “in traction” in Colorado for the next two weeks. ‘The Vice Presidents family would like to extend its thanks for all the prayers extended to the Vice President for the burns he incurred this weekend. We would like to note the burns will not impede ongoing treatment on the broken ribs suffered earlier. Finally, we would like to take this time to assure everyone by dispelling the unfounded rumors that the Vice President was poisoned by the Russian nerve agent Novichok. The Vice President is merely tired and recuperating from his recent injuries with extensive bed rest, and any news to the contrary is hereby denied by his family.’ ---
