Yeah swinging on the end of a rope from a cherry tree.....but I digress. Evidently trump has put his staff on overtime. Writing up pardons for all of the domestic terrorists who invaded the Capitol building.

To all my American friends. Lessons will be learned, America will rise stronger and some good news to sleep on.

and locked his account for a day.

While trump's friends celebrate:

VP Pence has been rushed out of the Capitol building under heavy guard. trump supporters have stormed the building.

The Psychology of Denial "Why Don't People Want to Accept that Global Warming is Happening?"

"The real unemployment rate (U-6) is a broader definition of unemployment than the official unemployment rate (U-3). In November 2020, U-6 was 12.0%, slightly better than the 12.1% rate in October.1 It's much better than the 22.8% rate in April that was close to the Great Depression's record unemployment rate of 25.6%."

"President-elect Joe Biden will reenter the U.S. into the Paris Climate Agreement, the global pact forged five years ago among nearly 200 nations to avoid the worst impacts of climate change. Upon rejoining, the U.S. will likely be expected to provide a climate target that is updated from the Obama administration’s goal and a plan to reduce domestic emissions from the power and energy sector. 75 CEOs last year urged Trump to stay in the accord. Major corporations including Apple, Google, Goldman Sachs and Royal Dutch Shell signed a statement that argued it would strengthen their competitiveness in global markets and allow the U.S. to be a leader in developing technology that curbs carbon emissions. Globally, the U.S. will have a great deal of work to do to catch up with other nations that have already unveiled bold climate initiatives" and you expect that to continue?

There has been so much GOP stimulus in the last four years that trump should become a synonym for crack.

I started a thread a while ago about the torching of the WH by the greatest American loser of all time. But anyway. The latest efforts of the arsonist: "The New York Stock Exchange again reversed course Wednesday and announced it would delist three major Chinese telecom companies — China Mobile Ltd., China Telecom Corp Ltd., China Unicom Hong Kong Ltd. The backdrop: The NYSE originally announced it would delist the companies on New Year's Eve in order to comply with a White House executive order. The exchange then reversed course late on Monday and said it would no longer delist the telecoms. Why it matters: The delisting complies with a November executive order that restricts American companies and individuals from owning shares in 31 Chinese companies with links to the People’s Liberation Army, as part of an eleventh-hour effort from the Trump administration to increase pressure on China."

Thanks for your repeated quotes of Andy's humor. He nails it. As a side note the GOP pissed away over $260 million in advertising money for these two losses. Thanks donald. Just my luck "Scientists say that Earth is endangered by a new strain of fact-resistant humans." Can't be accessed because I've gone to their website too many times Its ok because the punch line conveys it all given the facts on the ground in SC.

Those Norwegians! Norway's $1tn wealth fund to divest from oil and gas exploration "World’s largest sovereign wealth fund was created to invest North Sea oil profits" Meanwhile others cling to oil like whalers pursuing the last right whale.

"Leftists" have forced trump's latest lawyer to quit her law firm! "A lawyer advising President Trump in recent weeks has resigned from her law firm after it was revealed that she participated in the call where Mr. Trump pressured Georgia officials to help him reverse the state’s election results, the firm said in a statement on Tuesday. The lawyer, Cleta Mitchell, has been advising Mr. Trump despite a policy at her firm, Foley & Lardner, that none of its lawyers should represent clients involved in relitigating the presidential election. “Cleta Mitchell has informed firm management of her decision to resign from Foley & Lardner effective immediately,” the firm said in its statement. “Ms. Mitchell concluded that her departure was in the firm’s best interests, as well as in her own personal best interests." Even lawyers representing the far right can't stomach trump anymore. For trump's supporters however, any criminal act is permissible as long as the constitution remains at the bottom of the latrine.

Its just too bad you can't vaccinate for stupidity. Pharmacist Accused of Tampering With Vaccine Was Conspiracy Theorist, Police Say "A pharmacist who was arrested on charges that he intentionally sabotaged more than 500 doses of the Covid-19 vaccine at a Wisconsin hospital was “an admitted conspiracy theorist” who believed the vaccine could harm people and “change their DNA,” according to the police in Grafton, Wis., where the man was employed. The police said Steven Brandenburg, 46, who worked the night shift at the Aurora Medical Center in Grafton, Wis., had twice removed a box of vials of the Moderna vaccine from the refrigerator for periods of 12 hours, rendering them “useless.” “Brandenburg admitted to doing this intentionally, knowing that it would diminish the effects of the vaccine,” the police said." Makes me wonder if he went to the Wharton School of Pharmacy? As a side note from the same story: “he expressed that he was under great stress because of marital problems.” He said that according to co-workers, Mr. Brandenburg had brought a gun to work on two prior occasions. Last month Mr. Brandenburg told his wife, who is in the process of divorcing him, that “the world is crashing down around us,”according to a motion she filed last week asking for sole custody of the couple’s two daughters, 4 and 6, after she learned he was under investigation in the incident at the hospital. She said she feared his reaction if he lost his job."

Isn't that thinking.......Un-American?

Ron may have been right. According to trump Elon Musk was hired to send some ballots into space so they could be "made to "disappear" Ssssssh he may not be aware of loaded American B-52 bombers flying around the world. US Sanctions, tariffs, embargoes, etc.. Then there is that whole thing of stealthy black helicopters landing in Red Square, on Downing Street and in Ottawa!

4.67 is the average number of support staff per physician in the US.

WHAT???.... trump has turned a new leaf?.... trump has started to pay his lawyers? "Trump underpaid at least four law firms or lawyers who worked for him, according to various news outlets that looked into Trump’s history of cheating his contractors. One of them, Morrison Cohen LLP of New York City, had represented Trump in a lawsuit against a construction contractor that Trump claimed had overcharged him for work on a golf course. According to USA Today, Trump sued Morrison Cohen for using the case to help promote its work, and the firm countersued for almost $500,000 in unpaid bills. The case was settled in 2009. It wasn’t just big amounts Trump tried to get out of paying, either. Bill Scherer, a lawyer in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, had to sue Trump in 1994 to collect $5,000 in unpaid legal bills from a case Scherer won for the billionaire. The lawyer told Reuters last year that he had offered Trump a low rate to “curry favor” with the mogul, but still had to sue. “He’s a deadbeat,” Scherer told South Florida’s Sun-Sentinel newspaper. Trump told Reuters that he couldn’t remember Scherer or the case at all." trump goes through lawyers like he lies. He goes through lawyers like Big Macks go to his belly. It's OK Joe. Keeping trumps mascinations straight ain't easy.

Why do you hate Guyana? Couldn't America just buy Greenland and offer one way tickets for his disciples?

This is the picture of an American child receiving food from a food bank. I'm sorry I don't have the heart to tell her she can't eat that meal. I guess I'm just too liberal. Her name is Kristin Hahn and she is from Charles City Iowa. But it seems as if you don't care. Christianity, the new American version has better prepared you to being tough on the poor and disadvantaged. You tell her instead.

"During the 2016 presidential campaign, Republican candidate Donald Trump promised he would eliminate the nation’s debt in eight years.1 Instead, his budget estimates showed that he would actually add at least $8.3 trillion, increasing the U.S. debt to $28.5 trillion by 2025" Of which the actual increase during the four years of trump is slightly over $6 trillion. Do you research your facts or just rely upon feelings? This is a picture of food lines of Americans seeking food during the last six months. Thats quite christian of you to want to turn them away.

Self-Actualized.

Sounds right 20-24 years for what he's done. You and Ron can send him X-mas cards at Rikers Island. trump's old buddy Harvey Weinstein is there now. So he'll feel right at home.

FIFY, I think you would fail one of those psych exams that shows you pictures and asks you what the first thing that comes to mind is. Sorry to hear that story. Story tells it all about his character.
