  1. The transcript spells martial as "marial." The pillow peddler has it right, though.

  6. Trump Will Seek Rehabilitation In a MAGA Oasis [Click] There *is* the little matter of his agreement not to live at Mar-a-Lago in order to get it rezoned as a club.
    Here’s a reasonable sounding take on that: [Click]

    codewalker:

    I don't think they'll try to oust trump. That would be exactly what he wants, a confrontation.

    Instead, they'll rescind his business license for Mar-A-Lago.

    Don't allow anyone to stay or spend money. They'll have their liquor license revoked, occupancy permit revoked, and food service license revoked.

    The city can inform the Secret Service that none of the employees can legally work at Mar, and they'll have to be personal guests of trump, going through whatever checks are needed to be at the President's residence.

    They don't need any agreement from trump to do so, and trump will have to go to court to get the license back. The city will present the agreement and establish, by calling the Secret Service, to find out if trump stayed there past 7 days.

    It's an open and shut case.

    They'll have a hearing, etc, but these things municipalities can cancel on their own. Generally don't need a court order to do so.

    Of course trump will sue, but time is on their side, not trump's.

    At some point, all those $200,000 annual dues paying customers will sue to get their money back for 2021.


    Works for me!

  8. Ledes from the Washington Post:

    Dating apps are using images from the siege to ban rioters’ accounts.
    People are reporting their family and friends to the FBI

    Off-duty police were part of the Capitol mob. Now police are turning in their own.

    ‘Trump said to do so’: Accounts of rioters who say the president spurred them to rush the Capitol could be pivotal testimony.
    The explanations by some of the president’s supporters of why they attacked the Capitol will likely be featured in his upcoming Senate impeachment trial.

    1. The bit that particularly sticks in my mind:

      Eric Metaxas, the pseudo-evangelical leader with a devoted following on the right, followed suit. “I’d be happy to die in this fight,” he told the president during a radio interview. “This is a fight for everything. God is with us.”

  11. We all ought to move to Newfoundland.

    It's beautiful, for starters. And they've had 383 cases TOTAL so far, and 4 deaths.

    Just over half a million people live there (about 100,000 fewer than in Vermont) and it's nearly the size of Texas.

    1. Well, it's a good thing--they don't have enough people to support adequate health care. Clinics closing, physicians leaving, one after another, after another. But you would have the opportunity to learn a very distinctive dialect of English!
