Rachel Maddow on (and an interview with) the new attorney at SDNY. I think I have it starting at the right place so it will only be 17 minutes, not 38.

The Republican Accountability Project made one of these for each Rep who voted to impeach and each Senator who voted to convict. I just picked Kitzinger because I figured after that letter his cousin Karen wrote everyone would recognize his name.

Really American

Meidas Touch – Parody Parler ad

Now This News – something positive

John Fugelsang as “Jack Haze.” It was only a matter of time before marijuana decriminalization/legalization got into the videos.

Beau on windmills (for a start – and more on Texas)

  1. Thank you, Rep. Kinzinger

    We’ll take all the good news from Republicans that we can get.  Thanks, Rep. Kinzinger!

    GOP: Killing You Softly

    Rand Paul is a huge embarrassment to the medical community and to the Senate.

    Plus he’s just an all-round JERK!

    Honest Parler Ad

    I wonder how easy it is for authorities to monitor the seditious chat that goes on at Parler.

    Texas Furniture Store Opens as Shelter

    There are lots of good people in Texas.  Unfortunately they rarely get elected to office.

    Let’s talk about windmills in Texas

    I’m flummoxed if the wind turbines truly froze in Texas.  They don’t freeze in North Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa or Norway!

    And Iowa has a HUGE wind turbine energy production:

    As of Q3 2020, Iowa has over 10,951 megawatts (MW) of installed capacity with 5,590 wind turbines, ranking 2nd and 3rd in the nation below Texas respectively

    • Parler – I don’t think it’s likely hard.  I think it was regarding Twitter that someone posted a list of word that will get your comment or post looked at and that you can try any or any combination and look at the number of hits you normally receive and compare.    (And the post with all the example words got an astronomical number, and all within 1-5 minutes.)  I’m sure they have algorithms for all social media.

      Also, no windmills froze in Texas.  But you know Republiccans claimed they did.

  2. MSNBC: The news about the new prosecutor, and the diction with Berke, raise some wonderful expectations! I, and others, have been wondering why SDNY has not yet struck.  SCOTUS is either going to give the go ahead for them to get the taxes, or blemish their reputation for a very, very long time.
    RAP: Nice! “Accountability” is what counts, for the former party of personal responsibility.
    RA: And Ayn Rand’s namesake is a frigging ophthalmologist, though at least one of his major credentials was reportedly created by he himself.   POS!
    MT: Great, as always!
    NT: “This is what we’re put on this Earth to help other people.”  He simply nailed it.  I do not know that we were “put” here for that purpose, but being here, together, we might as well hold one another’s hands.  Those who die with the most toys are definitely NOT the winners!
    JH: Funny!
    Beau: “It’s just not true!”  A nice way to say “It’s bull shit!”  Perry, Abbott, and the fossil fuel industry, or real science used by people like the furniture store owner.

  3. MSNBC: With Pomerantz on board it seems Trump’s criminal investigation is finally on its way, were it not that the SCOTUS has been sitting on the subpoenas needed in the investigation for four months now. Berry Berke may now also have the opportunity to look into a criminal conviction instead of an impeachment for Trump, but he seems to want it to leave it to the already ongoing criminal investigations, Pandora’s box, as he called them. That doesn’t seem to bode well given the “inactivity” of SCOTUS, does it?

    RAP: It feels very strange to have to thank a Republican Congressman for just doing his job according to the oath he took. But given the fact that he and the others who dared to oppose Trump are now ostracized by the GOP, it is perhaps the least we can do and hope they’ll cross the aisle in other votes too.

    RA: Not so softly but horribly, I’d say.

    MT: It would be good if they all indeed came back to Parler and not go to the dark web. It’s so much easier for (Biden’s) FBI, CIA and other bureaus to keep an eye on them.

    NTN: Kudos to McIngvale, a Texan with a heart and a brain who set up COVID-safe shelter for hundreds during this petit ice-age.

    Beau: He does his homework – which leaves him no time to work or craft in his spotless shed – and then delivers his little speech and nails it as always. He even had time to compare temperatures between Houston and Des Moines. 27

  4. Thanks, JD.  🛌 time.

  5. RAP: Thank you, Rep Kinzinger! 
    RA: Listen to Science! Great vid.
    MT: Good to know where these folks are. ick! 
    NT: I don’t know him, (personally), but I love what he is doing and helping others. Man has a 
    Heart of Gold. 
    Beau: Watched NASA, and the landing of Rover on Mars. So very exciting!!
    Also, .. Profits over people = Republicans, of course! 

    Thank you, Joanne for post.
