Joe should attend the swearing in and leave as FF starts to give his punishment address to those assembled to shower in the bullshit storm that will rain down on them from the dais.
“… shower in the bullshit storm that will rain down on them from the dais”
Pogo, FF’s version of a golden shower? would be interesting tho to see how he and his henchmen would react to a walk-out by the former POTUSes and FLOTUSes who really should show some response when he declares his dictatorship. at least get outta town before he has them arrested.
Fascist Media Capture Alert: CNN appears to be trying to run off Jim Acosta to please Trump. His was the last show of theirs I was regularly watching. Remember when Trump tried to ban him from the White House Press Room? Now he might be getting his way.
With Andrea retiring, MSNBC should give her noon show to Acosta, unless they’re also afraid of Dear Leader.
Craig,
Tea with the Dames is hilarious in parts particularly when they discuss the men. Another of her great films has an almost identical title: Tea with Mussolini.
The last, two things I posted links to last night are mighty troubling:
1) The wealthy tried to undo the good FDR did. 2) Hitler dismantled democracy using their constitution…in 53 days. Shitler and company will try to do the same and they have a map.
The house that took down the tRUMP signs and flags after the n@zi rally in NY, has raised their American flag already. Orange Adolf has an army and they are our neighbors, and in some cases, our relatives.
Interesting ruling by the court formerly known as supreme, TicToc is done fini. I am not sure why the fast decision, but it does point out one thing, sfb did not persuade them to hold off and let him solve the problems.
Yes Jamie, my YouTube algorithm pops up clips from Tea With Dames now and then. I watch them all, such classy, funny lades. Love how they give Densch a hard time for getting the good parts first.
I have an online thing planned for Monday, but maybe I should go to Walmart to see how empty the parking lot is to gage viewership here. Eh, my car is still iced in, so if it doesn’t melt today, I’m stuck for another week. I hate winter.
How about that shit? You go, Joe. The issue will be whether the timelines that have been established for ratification of amendments are enforceable. They are not in the Constitution. From the NPR article posted by BiD:
“The issue has long been the subject of legal controversy. In 2020, the National Archivist – who is charged with making constitutional amendments official – declined to certify the amendment, citing an opinion from the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel. The department said it considered the ERA to be expired after a 1982 ratification deadline was missed. In 2022, the Office of Legal Counsel released an opinion affirming that 2020 decision.”
Strap on your guns – time to test the limits imposed by statute against the constitution.
Craig – last week the hotel occupancy survey showed almost nobody coming to town, for or against the orange idiot. A couple days later it seems almost all rooms rented. Must wonder which oligarch rented up the hotel rooms in the D.C. region.
One of those models of masculinity oligarchs must have told sfb they were not going to stand outside in the cold and wind for him.

“ His COVID rallies knowingly killed people”
When they staged that assassination attempt with that patsy you never heard about again, emergency services were already overwhelmed from people keeling over in the oppressive heat
i know more about Charles Giteau than i do that guy
No charges for the parents that provides gun access, either. the Crumbley parents still in jail for the same
Might also be nice if there was some specific, counter-programming to commemorate MLK Day. Let him gripe about the weather, and lack of attention, and whatever else.

Anon: “we’re about to have bigger problems than his vanity””
You can take that to the bank.
So, Poobah, couple questions. What’s your pain level on day 4 compared to day 3? Also, just curious – are the “immediate dentures” temporary, with new ones to come after your swelling and recovery from the extractions are completely over and healed?
A Washington arena will be opened to allow people to watch it remotely LOL. IF I wanted to watch it remotely (I do not and will not) I could do so on my phone, my computer or a TV – and avoid the Covid, RSV and Norovirus exposure risk. But then again, I’m not MAGAt.
On January 20, 1961, the temperature at John F. Kennedy’s inauguration was around 22°F (-6°C).
However, with the windchill, it felt much colder, around 7°F (-14°C).
Trump can’t take it, neither could that enemy of the working class, Ronald Reagan.
JFK killed the hat industry as he stood there and took the oath.
The pussy grabber is a pussy.
I’d rate the pain about a 6 out of 10 (moderate to almost but not quite severe) both yesterday and today (days 3 and 4), but with the caveat I’m taking prescription Ibuprofen 800mg every 6 hours, rinsing often with warm salt water — and I’ve been told my pain tolerance is high (walked on a broken ankle for three weeks, thought it was just a sprain). It hurts in a few places where the gums are sore from the friction of the dentures, but apparently not unusually so.
Immediate dentures are best to keep for several months, maybe even a year, so that you don’t spend money on permanents until your gums and bone are finished “re-modeling” — when you’ll get the best long term fit. So far I think my dentist did a decent job molding these immediates. They are fitting well without adhesive, which I only used the second night just to make sure they stayed in while I slept.
Poobah, yeah, ibuprofen works for me. It’s usually my barometer for whether and when I need to do something with the docs. 6/10 is significant. And I wasn’t familiar with the term immediate dentures but get it now. Godspeed bruddah. I’m betting in another week you’ll be feeling MUCH better, but hope that comes sooner.

it’s all an elaborate practical joke right?
Right?!
Here’s hoping this is the least watched Inauguration on TV ever. I’ll be doing my part.

Another of the Great Dames has passed away. Dame Joan Plowright has departed the mortal coil at 95. Over 75 years on Stage, screen, and TV.
patd, I’d say so. It’s certainly not his version of Golden Slumbers.

Jamie – Joan Plowright was in one of my favorite movies, “Enchanted April.” I’m surprised she was only 95, as that movie was ages ago.

Just checked the DC weather forecast for Monday, and President Biden (and others), should leave ASAP.
If SFB gets a chill and taps out, so be it. MAGAts will not be so accepting of JD. It’s a cult of personality.

A definite challenge for the Supremes. Will they or won’t they disenfranchise half of the US population?

I usually do our laundry on Mondays… think I’ll be too busy with that to turn on the tv.
They must know he’s not getting a big enough crowd to satisfy Dear Leader.
CNN: Trump’s inauguration expected to be moved indoors.
Because we know he doesn’t care about their comfort or safety. His COVID rallies knowingly killed people, including Herman Cain.
If the inaugural parade gets canceled due to weather, let’s hope Disney World doesn’t stage an alternative like they did after Reagan’s cancellation.
i’ll be busy boarding up the windows

Covid? Try that plus flu and RSV and Norovirus.
Biden and past Presidents should wear masks. Wouldn’t that just piss off Adolf to no end!
Thank You, Mother Nature, for raining on his parade, so to speak.

Middle of the night, POTUS Joe passes the torch to Harris for a day & makes her 47. Anything to screw with the n@zi putz.

Ah remembering those days of old when T3 was handed out like candy. And oxycodone wa almost as easy.
Local “boy”, Republican. Jon Husted of Montpelier, just 10 miles from me, is DeWine’s replacement for Vance here in Ohio for US Senate, not Ramaswamy.
Adolf is already talking about the “large” TV audience. Those numbers are easy to lie about…no aerial photos.
Fam figuring out how to watch from work. “Not I,” said the unmarried cat lady.
This Indoor Inauguration-thing has echoes of not wanting to get his hair wet in France. Weak sauce.
