Who knew so many elected officials are members of militant groups looking to overthrow the government. Isn't that a conflict of interest?

Marjorie Taylor Greene is from Georgia, unfortunately. She's a nut job, and a totally wasted voice in Congress on our behalf.

Default Trump requests large, military-style send-off........

ABC News
Trump plans to leave Washington Inauguration Day morning; Pence, Harris speak
JOHN SANTUCCI, MOLLY NAGLE, KATHERINE FAULDERS and ELIZABETH THOMAS
Fri, January 15, 2021, 3:04 PM
President Donald Trump plans to make the unprecedented move to depart the White House next Wednesday morning, just before President-elect Joe Biden's inauguration, ABC News has learned.

Trump has requested a large sendoff to be planned for the morning of Jan. 20, sources said, after he choppers via Marine One to Joint Base Andrews, where he is expected to give remarks to supporters and departing members of his administration.

Sources add that Trump has requested his departure ceremony to have a "military-like feel," although details are not finalized.

He hopes to depart to the blare of a military band, with a red carpet and military honors, according to sources briefed on the plans. Even some sort of military flyover has been suggested, they said.

Just go already!

I read a couple of news articles, over on CNN, this morning.

One article (found here) concerned itself with if there was anything that could actually move the public opinion needle, concerning the litany of lies and terrible things this person (tp) has done.

And the other article (found here) talked about the many lies uttered by t---p and their toxic political enablers/supporters.

I couldn't help but think of the forum thread started by Aj (Dreadgeek), back in 2010 (eleven years ago, now).

In Aj's opening post, Aj tabled certain propositions to think about, which can be found here (http://www.butchfemmeplanet.com/foru...00&postcount=1).

That is what I have been thinking about lately. And the up and coming post-impeachment trial by Senate.

Default Ivanka Trump's..............

hairbrained tweets!

Ivanka Trump has deleted a tweet in which she referred to the mob of President Trump’s supporters violently rioting at the US Capitol building as “patriots”.

Ivanka Trump touted the accomplishments of her father, President Donald Trump, on Twitter — and received a stark reminder of his administration’s many scandals, failings and controversies in response.

Default MyPillow Guy Presents Trump With ‘China’ Election-Fraud Theory, Lawyers Send Him Packing

In the final week of his presidency, Donald Trump met in the Oval Office on Friday afternoon with Mike Lindell, the MyPillow CEO and a personal friend of the president’s who presented Trump with six pages of documents, loaded with unproven conspiracy theories, that he told him proved that China and other countries helped steal the 2020 election for Joe Biden.

Lindell says that after a “five-to-ten minute meeting” in the Oval, Trump asked someone to take the MyPillow inventor to a different room to show his documents to “the lawyers,” and then asked for staff to bring Lindell back afterwards. Following a roughly two-hour wait, according to Lindell, he finally met with White House attorneys who dismissed his claims but said they would “look into it.” He was then not allowed to see the president again on Friday.

Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene finally got her Twitter account temporarily suspended. She was tweeting lies about voter fraud in Georgia and QAnon nonsense, per BBC and NPR respectively.

In less than 24 hours Trump will be out of office and Biden & Harris will be sworn in. I hear he is leaving town quite early so by the time I wake up tomorrow morning he will be gone, gone, gone!

I am nervous about tomorrow but also very hopeful and looking forward to it. I was so relieved there were not any big attacks on our state capitols over the weekend, so hopefully, the insurgents realize they are well-prepared for now. I just hope everyone is kept safe. It's also a bummer there can't be big crowds to celebrate but the important thing is that our country will be led by honorable, competent people as of noon eastern tomorrow.

I am really looking forward to seeing Kamala Harris sworn in by Justice Sotomayor using Thurgood Marhsall's bible. That will be amazing.

We did it. We saved our democracy using democratic means. Our country is in tatters and those of us still standing are lucky to have survived. I mourn the loss of all who have lost their lives unnecessarily to COVID-19 due to Trump's inhumanity and incompetence and anyone else who is no longer with us. I think the biggest lesson of all is to never take anything for granted and that the fight for justice and our rights will never end.

Tomorrow starts a new age. There is much work to be done. Thank goodness we will be in experienced and competence hands. God Bless America.

Does it make anybody else mad to know that the Supreme court put the kibosh on the lower courts to not do anything about TP's penchant (behavioral issues) for benefitting from his organization and how he's made a f*ck ton of money off his golfing episodes, and other ripping-off-the-tax-payers at any expense, type of b.s., right in plain sight?

All I'm gonna say is I will be *SO* upset if they let this white collar con-man, sex perp, criminal off the hook.

Please, please, convict this former president.

While we're at it, I know it's wishful thinking (sort of), could be also make sure it went down in history that law makers in the Senate did the right thing and held this horrid person accountable?

Please. For the sake of our future, please please let the 'hands of justice' prevail.
