  2. Hope our new preznit makes them more uncomfortable NOT reporting than in doing so. . . . Like to see the white supremacists under the gun, so to speak.

  3. Desperate QAnon Believers Think Trump Spoke to Them in Morse Code [Click] I suppose they realize that he couldn’t have a clue about what ASCII is. Next maybe smoke signals from the tailpipe of his limousine?

  7. Someone on the VT Roads Facebook page asked what the situation in in Vermont's capitol (Montpelier) today.

    A person responded saying that her daughter had just driven through and there were two camera crews, one policeman and no protesters.

    So far, so good.😄

  9. From WaPo front page:

    Vaccine reserve already exhausted when Trump administration vowed to release it, dashing hopes of expanded access.

    States were anticipating a windfall after federal officials said they would stop holding back second doses. But the policy had already changed, and no stockpile exists.

    Experts warn of vaccine stumbles because Trump officials refused to consult with Biden team

  10. WTF?
    Capitol Police Were Warned Three Days Before Attack [Click]
    January 15, 2021 at 7:50 pm EST By Taegan Goddard

    “Three days before thousands of rioters converged on the U.S. Capitol, an internal Capitol Police intelligence report warned of a violent scenario in which ‘Congress itself’ could be the target of angry supporters of President Trump on Jan. 6, laying out a stark alert that deepens questions about the security failures that day,” the Washington Post reports. [Click]

    “In a 12-page report on Jan. 3, the intelligence unit for the congressional police force described how thousands of enraged protesters, egged on by Trump and flanked by white supremacists and extreme militia groups, were likely to stream into Washington armed for battle.”

  11. ARG! Why can I never find what I'm looking for?

    The article linked below gives a somewhat distorted and sneering account, but it's all there seems to be. Can't find the actual video of the interview Chris Cuomo conducted with Horns Guy's lawyer. Perhaps it's like the Kennedy/Nixon debate, but listening on the radio I found the lawyer, Al Watson, extremely impressive. Apparently, when people have visuals they are incapable of listening. Anyway, filtering through the jeering tone of this article, you'll get the gist of the interview.

    1. Oh, Flying Spaghetti Monster! Comparing Trump to Jim Jones and then asking for a presidential pardon? Speaking of which, this may be something you were not aware of:

      The N95 and similar [ 1] masks are recognized by the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster as acceptable alternative religious garb. Religious texts tell us early Pastafarians wore bandanas and similar over their faces to protect against disease. They likely would have worn modern equipment had it been available in their time.

  12. "Today, the My Pillow guy walked into the White House with plans for the next coup attempt, but wasn't smart enough to have his notes covered, so a photographer with a telephoto lens got a photo.
    "His notes call for suspending Posse Comitatus and declaring martial law, and blaming the attack on Congress on China and Iran, claiming that the people involved were actors under their direction." ~ Liane Allen
    Washington Post has the story...

    1. Not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but seems about right for someone playing footsie with Trump.
