OK, so I’m a little giddy today. Aren’t you? Be honest!

This was last night, which is why it is so dark. I wanted something upbeat for today, and neither Biden not Harris is much of a grandstander, but they are both caring.

Robert Reich

Now This News – I missed it at the time, but now I wonder if it could help if seen by Trump** supporters.

“The Damage Report” I have no comment.

Beau on inauguration Security (which will basically be completed by the time this goes up – let’s hope he is right – he taped it Monday.)

Music – “Jubilee” by G. W. Chadwick – because it’s my personal favorite feel-good piece.

I’m taking the day off to watch history being made.  Trump** is still Resident, but I watched Air Force One haul garbage** to FL for the last time.  I’ll be in the saddle tomorrow.  Happy Dump Trump** Hump Day.

MSNBC – Sigh. (I read elsewhere the laptop in question was used only for presenations and contains no sensitive information whatever. You have to get upp very early in the morning to be ahead of Nancy Pelosi – and preferably the night before.)

The Lincoln Project – I don’t know whether this is actually part of a series or just one-off, but it’s very well done.

A New Roy Zimmerman! (Sorry it was necessary, but it’s delightful.)

It’s a busy day here in the CatBox.  WWWendy is here doing chores.  Tomorrow, I don’t know what I’ll be posting.  I’ll be busy watching history being made and water circling the bowl.  Tuesday is Flush your Republicans Day, but be sure to save some for tomorrow.

Dang, Don! As wonderful as this is, you ought to do one called Flip Flushing Away! It must be fine, because Mitch (good, God-like Mitch, not evil, Satan-like Mitch) emailed about it too.  RESIST and REMOVE the Republican Reich!!

From YouTube (a blast from the past): George Harrison – Give Me Love (Give Me Peace On Earth) – Lyrics

 

Ah the memories! We can start VERY soon!  RESIST and REMOVE the Republican Reich!!

The Lincoln Project

Really American – ACCOUNTABILITY. Share it.

Now This News – The Importance of MLK Day. Yes, that’s MLK III.

The New Yorker – 12-minute video from the Capitol Coup. H/T Nameless https://www.democraticunderground.com/emoticons/hattip.gif

This video, or I should say group of videos, from ProPublica was curated from video clips downloaded from Parler before it went dark. It’s designed to provide an immersive experience (which I consider a trigger warning – and they also provide one.) The way it is presented, I really can’t embed it, but I give the link. It is ordered into a timeline and grouped based on general location the videos were taken from. You can pick a location, or click anywhere in the timeline, or scroll down (it’s a very long scroll.) You may have to take some of them off of mute (or vice versa.)

Oh, this is delicious.

Long, but interesting. Not exactly full of laughs … but it does suggest some pretty funny scenarios, including regarding Presidential Libraries.

MLKDay

It was a pleasure to work with Dr. King on Vietnam Summer.  Of all the people I have met in my life, he stands head and shoulders above the rest.

In addition to I Have a Dream, you should also watch Beyond Vietnam.  I was in Riverside Baptist Church.  After the speech, we formed the organizing committee for Vietnam Summer.  The policies he outlined are what we are still fighting to achieve today and challenged the far right to murder him.

 

I trust that this is the first time Dr. King has observed this remembrance washout grieving since 2013. I rejoice that he is rejoicing today!
