@thirdperson   And President Joe Biden inherited an even worse situation from the prior failing republican admin than Obama did!  Thankfully he pulled us out of the fire even if the task of repairing the mess that Trump left is not yet complete

Republican Bill Johnson just submitted his resignation to the House of Representatives effective Jan. 21.

The Republican majority will then go to 219, meaning Republicans will only be able to lose two votes.

Oh boy!

Longtime NRA leader Wayne LaPierre is set to face trial in the corruption case brought by New York AG Letitia James after a state court rejected arguments that the investigation was politically motivated.  

The trial is scheduled to begin on Jan. 8.

I can hear it now, "On advice of counsel, blah blah blah!"

A federal judge today ordered former KY Clerk Kim Davis to pay $260K in attorney fees & 100k to the couple involved after she refused to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples.

Her refusal took place in 2015. 

What took so damn long???

As expected, electing more republicans to House would just produce dysfunction and gridlock.  Blame MAGA republicans for the least productive House in decades.  They seem to be more interested in whining and burning things down instead of governing.  Oddly, republicans struggle in easy job of electing a speaker.  In contrast, Pelosi's House is a model of efficiency in achieving major legislations.  Democrats see problems and offer solutions.  Whereas republicans ignore problems and oppose solutions.

HUFFPOST -

We should expect this to be dismissed for the sham that it is

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Defense Department will install solar panels on the Pentagon, part of the Biden administration's plan to promote clean energy and “reestablish the federal government as a sustainability leader.”

The Pentagon is one of 31 government sites that are receiving $104 million in Energy Department grants that are expected to double the amount of carbon-free electricity at federal facilities and create 27 megawatts of clean-energy capacity while leveraging more than $361 million in private investment, the Energy Department said.

This took place in a NYC courtroom regarding the Donald vs E J Carroll case...

HABBA: You were a regular at Elaine's, right?

CARROLL: Yes

HABBA: It's hard to get into isn't it?

CARROLL: No, not hard.

JUDGE KAPLAN: It doesn't exist anymore. That's why it's hard to get into.

YOU CAN'T MAKE THIS STUFF UP!

WASHINGTON — The Justice Department wants former Trump White House adviser Peter Navarro to spend six months behind bars after being convicted of criminal contempt of Congress for ignoring a subpoena.

Federal prosecutors said in a court filing Thursday that Navarro “deserves severe punishment” that includes a $200,000 fine in addition to prison time. He is scheduled to be sentenced Jan 25.

President Joe Biden on Monday marked record-high stock market numbers with a well-deserved dig at the convicted sex-offender, who himself presided over a collapse in the stock market...

 

Just before the 2020 election, Trump insisted a Biden win would lead to “a stock market collapse the likes of which you’ve never had.”

Biden tweeted a clip of Trump’s prediction alongside a separate clip from Fox News on Monday announcing *RECORD CLOSES* for both the Dow and the S&P 500. an_cheers

“Good one, Donald,” he wrote. LOL an_razz
