First, for those of you who follow Twitter so the rest of us do not have to, thank you so much for your service. You have gone above and beyond and have saved us who do not follow Twitter hours of aggravation.
So now, gird your loins & buckle up, things are gonna get ugly. After the Republicans on the Board delayed the results in the largest county in Michigan, the Wayne county election board has reversed its position and certified the Wayne County results, which put Biden over the top in Michigan. Now the results go to the State to certify Michigan’s results. The angry toddler’s tweet storm has got to be starting now.
Again, thank you for your service.
a note of thanks on the serious side (and the more headlines about it the better to get D’ump where it hurts, not a steal of votes but a steal of limelight)
Wapo:
wonder if dolly would accept a prez medal of honor or some such PR opportunity for d’ump if he would deign to share the stage
around the time of her philanthropy she tweeted out this little poem according to aceshowbiz:
Someone who tested positive last week has now tested negative and come back to the office already! I wanna cry!
Pogo, The great orange blob is thanking himself and retweeting this morning. He’s doing fairly well today with only one blue sentence.
Patd, Dolly is truly an angel. Her charities are numerous. Having Dollywood closed off and on or limited admission must be hard as it supplied so many jobs around where she was born in Pigeon Forge. She is probably carrying the employees. One thing that never stops, are the non releasable eagles with two nested breeding pairs and one area reserved for speed dating bachelors lol.

Dolly is probably carrying her employees because there is no stimulus package. There is no Christmas rush except for those in high-end, financial and tech jobs who can work from home.
Republicans are killing people and jobs. Republicans are killing Christmas.
I’ve told my boss not to come in; just drop me files at the office door. I do not feel safe.
Speaking of Twitter, a particularly succinct one:
jamie, did you see the wapo story on the timy owl in the big big tree i posted for you last night?
that story sure would make a terrific children’s book if any of you good writers on the trail need some inspiration. maybe a collaboration with whoever is also good at illustrations.
i imagine the tale describing the initial woes of the tree having been a century old homestead for the little owl’s family, he/she being perhaps the last of the breed and homeless now that the tree is felled. a lot of pathos, misunderstandings, evil greedy corporations, compassionate truckers/vets/etc and a happy ending finding another of its breed at a sanctuary once it was saved and survived the ordeal.
disney & pixar, are you listening?
and just in case you forgot
noah’s latest
How has Trump spent his time since Election Day? He’s been busy playing Risk with our military, selling pieces of the country to oil giants, and fast-tracking chicken slaughter
with this unusual disappearing act from TV wonder if he’s hoping TV news ratings go down
An update on the Wayne County certification. DETROIT — After three hours of tense deadlock on Tuesday, the two Republicans on an election board in Michigan’s most populous county reversed course and voted to certify the results of the Nov. 3 election, a key step toward finalizing President-elect Joe Biden’s victory in the state. Now, they both want to take back their votes. In affidavits signed Wednesday evening, the two GOP members of the four-member Wayne County Board of Canvassers allege they were improperly pressured into certifying the election and accused Democrats of reneging on a promise to audit votes in Detroit. “I rescind my prior vote,” Monica Palmer, the board’s chairwoman, wrote in an affidavit reviewed by The Washington Post. “I fully believe the Wayne County vote should not be certified.” William Hartmann, the other Republican on the board, has signed a similar affidavit, according a person familiar with the document. Hartmann did not respond to a message from The Post. Jonathan Kinloch, a Democrat and the board’s vice chairman, told The Post it’s too late for the pair to reverse course, as the certified results have been sent to the secretary of state in accordance with state rules. He lashed out at the Republicans over their requests. “Do they understand how they are making us look as a body?” he said. “We have such an amazing and important role in the democratic process, and they’re turning it on its head.” (Continues – with whining) There was a time I thought… Read more »
That Wayne County episode showed just how much Rudy et all think they can get away with blocking state certifications and getting GOP legislatures to appoint Trump electors. It’s so stupid and farfetched I didn’t that was a real plan but now I think so.
And yet another update …
DETROIT (AP) — Two Michigan Republicans who initially blocked certification of election results for the county that includes Detroit despite no evidence of fraud before approving them now say they want to rescind their certification.

He’s being played by someone big.
Pogo… I agree…. thanks to all of those that look at Twitter and report stuff back here. I’ve never had a Twitter account and don’t plan on getting one. I know I’d just go down rat holes and get lost for hours…. don’t want that.

Thank you. I saw the story of the little Saw-Whet owl last night. He will be released to the wild or Rockefeller could have had his own You-Tube Channel.
We have Pygmy owls. So cute
Why are the Goopers afraid of a man who will be in court most of the next four years?
Pleased Stacey Abrams getting the focus on Mitch, run on him the way Republicans demonize Pelosi: “We’ve got to do the deep work of explaining the utility and the effectiveness of the US Senate. Not everyone knows that Mitch McConnell has been the reason they haven’t received unemployment benefits.”
https://t.co/hPjOcl8hhl
Well since no liars are going to heaven there are going to be a lot of the Trump family and gooper enablers in hell and since they believe in hell the rest of their lives they should be looking over their shoulder for the guy with the pitch fork
Stacy Abrams. She’s the best
So the two Detroit voter goobers didn’t want to certify but under pressure certified, then got an orange phone call and want to rescind their vote. Talking about the phone call, the lady of the two said he called to make sure we were “safe from all the death threats” we’d received.
Wouldn’t want anything bad to happen to y’all.

Judge cancels fraud evidence hearing after Rudy Giuliani admits “this is not a fraud case” in court
A federal judge based in Pennsylvania has heard enough from President Donald Trump’s personal attorney
https://www.salon.com/2020/11/18/judge-cancels-fraud-evidence-hearing-after-rudy-giuliani-admits-this-is-not-a-fraud-case-in-court_partner/
But….but……but…..ELITE STRIKE FORCE!
Rudy the fixer is having a real melt down during his presser. Once again SFB hires the best, or at least Rudy thinks he was hired for twenty large a day.
Bwahahahah. Rudy got the evidentiary hearing cancelled by talking out of his ass. I’d say the judge should consider awarding sanctions – under FRCP Rule 11 against Dumbass’ attorneys for filing a lawsuit without a basis in fact.
Apparently rudi’s job is to stall until the cavalry gets there. Kind of an Alamo Thermopylae thing.
My guess is Rudy did not want to pay a hair stylist to make him look viral like his boss SFB. That shoe polish does not hold very well under the lights.
i’m not the first to say it, but if trumpco can’t steal the election, they’ll settle for undermining the Biden Administration before it even starts, setting up 3-4 more years of Republican obstruction in an effort to reclaim the executive branch in 2024 and finish the job of establishing a permanent anti-democratic fascist regime.
“Find me one ethical Republican, and I’ll spare this land”
*land burns*
I know that in the new Borat movie everyone was focused on what Rudy was doing in his pants. But what caught my eye…. was that the actress was obviously drinking water during her interview with him… and Rudy definitely had some kind of booze in his glass.
It’s kinda funny that trump is a teetotaler yet likes lushes such as Rudy and Bannon.
Racism is one helluva drug.
Bink
Does this mean Melania turns into a pillar of salt?
Pandemic taught me how expensive a hobby drinking alcohol is, so now we know why Rudy needs $20k a day
Not Melania, Jamie- Lady Liberty😭🇺🇸💀
As much as I love free speech, trumpity SHOULD be BANNED from twitter. He’s advocating the overthrow of the newly elected government.
Or is he lining Twitter’s pockets?
I vaguely remember trumpity from the 80’s & 90’s. A womanizer and bankruptcy expert. That’s all. I wonder if people who knew him back then saw that he had the makings of a violent dictator?

Damn it! You just knew there had to be an ethical problem with the vaccines. Fortunately both the Pfizer or Moderna types are okay so far.
Tiptoe
If my memory serves, New Yorkers viewed Trump as a glad handing, conman who could be bought by the highest bidder. He actually sold his name more than a hotel and was leveraged up to the eyeballs. He could be charming but was also thought to be truly stupid.
I don’t think anyone saw him as a possible dictator and the Russians pretty much just used him to launder money.
Cool. Horsey is guest cartoonist at Wapo today.
Pretty much what’s commonly known as a stooge. No mastermind in there, just stooge.
I just found out that our re-elected republican governor is ordering a statewide mask mandate while in public both inside and outside starting tomorrow. Kudos on him for doing the right thing!
“Dcccf Rex zzz. @#@smaan anaNN”,
So it’s come to this, has it?
And if a stooge then stooge for whom?
The answer is not blowin’ in the wind.
I’m sitting here waiting for this to happen.
Sometimes Twitter is just fun. The little owl, got lots of attention. This was my favorite
Jamie ,
Well said that owl is definitely “Rockette” material,
RR – I’ve come across the type that has to feel superior because they do not do some “vice” and they hold it over the others. However, if the rumours are true, SFB is some kind of drug addict. And, he is, according to Steve Schmidt, a imecile and a moron.
So far we have a white nationalist party supporting SFB in his efforts to declare himself dictator for life. Too bad almost half the country are part of that white nationalist party. And, just as there are gay guys supporting the white nationalist party, there are people of color doing the same – even though that wn party has vowed to destroy and sometimes threaten to kill those who are not white males. Sometimes there seems to be something miswired in some brains.
Rudy –
He is not a well man , the real clue was an exchange this week with a judge and he didn’t know the definition of “opacity” . And in the same exchange he didn’t know the definition of a legal term , ( which slips my mind ) .
But I’m not a $20, 000 a day lawyer.
Wow hair dye running down his face. That’s all folks
So , I’m going to stick to thinking about Blue Whales returning to South Georgia Island for a few more days.

Rudee needs a mole check, too. Some gnarly looking things on his head above the meltdown zone. Not just the Russian-variety mole.
Watch a blue whale being “processed” in 1930 –
Good heavens. Lara tRUMPsky running for Senate in NC? We must rid ourselves of the entire klan. I hope she’s done something to get rolled into the wrongdoings of SFB and his spawn.
Donald has SFB and it looks like Rudee has diarrhea for brains

A term used in the past, things got so bad people were forced to eat the seeds they would need to plant in the spring.
That is underway now with some of the best and brightest we have. Our healthcare workers.
To see them working all these months , and then see some fat old white guy moaning about his fucking freedom because he has to wear a mask.
Well we’re not running out of old moaning fat white guys , but we are burning up our healthcare workers.

Thanks for those updates , Biden can pardon him , and the State of New York can chew him to pieces.
From the Huffpo article Tony posted:
it goes on 🙄
Roy Cone was Turnip’s first real mentor. “Tail Gunner Joe’s ” lawyer.
His playbook is in force today.
Always attack, never admit defeat , say anything to distract.
When Cone was dying from AIDS , Turnip dropped him like a bad burrito ..
