And Sleepy Joe Will Get The Credit: US Politics January 2021

According to Ayanna Pressley’s chief of staff Sarah Groh, the panic buttons in the Congresswoman’s office were all “torn out—the whole unit.”

They don’t know why or who did it. https://t.co/MLhxhi7nUp pic.twitter.com/l7wgoHOJKN

the very talented friend speaks

1) A couple of hours ago, I tweeted out that this tweet referred to me. Shortly after, I deleted that tweet. After much introspection, and talking with friends and family, I feel obligated to reveal why I deleted it. https://t.co/fQ4FRgY7qM

lovely stuff, if true.

Will be really great if Mitch gets rid of t's fantasies and gets lynched for his trouble.
Can the GOP eat itself in a fully ouroboric manner?

can we not use the word 'lynched' in any context now?

sorry. Thought it was fitting, a ringleader getting his own just desserts from a mob he'd helped rev up.
BUt will try to avoid in future.

Stevo is in Ireland tbf, we did invent it iirc

true!

My aul fella cannot pass the bank building on shop st in galway without pointing to the supposed relevant window, this is the only formal education i ever had iirc

8) Instead of standing up for me, instead of explaining to the NHL that I, as a person, am not solely defined by my previous work on the Trump campaign...

Imma stop you right there, son.

At-will employment sure is a bitch, you little fascist shit.

Think of this administration as a snowstorm we’ll be digging out of for years

I typically think of a different kind of storm but yes.

good morning!

I think of a fuckfest

Wednesday: the sequel opens today.

Someone made the point earlier today about YouTube flying under the radar through all this. No surprise, but Trump's YouTube account has been suspended now.

...for a week. Brave stance you took there, Google.

"I'm closing Trump's YouTube account. For an hour."

Whuh?

Scoop w/ @tylerpager
Biden team is producing a 90 minute prime time TV special for inauguration night.
Tom Hanks narrating.
Demi Lovato, Justin Timberlake, Ant Clemons and Jon Bon Jovi will perform
ABC, CBS and NBC CNN and MSNBC
Not Fox and Fox Newshttps://t.co/9dvHIwqWVq

Wait what?

Get ready for some half-hearted livetweeting!!

the “it’s my life” president

Is Demi Lovato going to call half of America assholes while performing for the President? Because that would be well worth admission.

Biden speeching is already sleep-inducing, it's not a good idea to add Tom Hanks as narrator when you want your public to stay awake. Oh wait..

...yeah, that is the idea, isn't it?

and Sleepy Joe will get the credit!

JUst watched the recent Brave New World series through. How do you want your Soma delivered?

Sleepy Joe
Snoozin’ in the sun
How you gonna get your day’s work done?
You’ll never get your day’s work done

DJP i figured you would be impressed they finally got Justin Timberlake!

i mean, he's no James Taylor... but still, a really special treat for everyone

they couldn’t get The Black Crowes??

Biden's seen a million faces and rocked 'em all

i'm a biden
on an iron lung i rely

I spotted the National Guard sleeping in the hallways of the Capitol as I walked in this morning. pic.twitter.com/PzVpQCo5yU

lol @ 'spotted'. Can someone point out where the guardsmen are in this picture? I haven't spotted them yet.

Ah, I take me feeble laffs where I can get them these days.

expel Cruz, Hawley, Boebert, Brooks, Gosar, and Biggs.

probably won't work as requires 2/3rds vote but fuck them all

Somehow I missed the detail about the panic buttons being torn out before last Wednesday. What the fuck. I feel like we are never going to learn the full truth about what happened and who all was involved.

I do feel like the 'leaking these details to press' strategy is a wise move - let the public know, let the conspirators know 'we see u' even if we don't entirely know who it is.

I know this problem doesn't go away after Inauguration, but it sure as fuck is easier to deal with when we have control of all 3 branches and federal authorities.

AOC's testimony freaked me out last night

DJP i figured you would be impressed they finally got Justin Timberlake!

It is extremely on-brand that they would wait until no one cares about him anymore to book him for an event like this

the “it’s my life” president

Dr Alban or Billy Joel?

Timbo's on the nose, i like the way it's going down

xxp Talk Talk

Maybe I’m paranoid and maybe this isn’t even how it can work, but I do wonder if some of this stuff, including elected officials probable involvement, will get deep-sixed as part of a deal w Republicans to take this Seriously and make this appear ‘bi-partisan’, even if it doesn’t result in removal

Definitely have these thoughts form time to time and I do think parts of it will get deep-sixed. Not that I'm confident it happens but say if Hawley and/or Cruz does get expelled, I'm guessing part of it will have come about as a result of, "we GOPers will vote for it, as long as you promise the details of their involvement never gets out."

what kind of cut-rate broadcast sedative doesn't book Dave Grohl?

The attack on the Capitol was coordinated and planned.

Here are the insurrectionists talking about the plan, including detailed schematics of the Capitol building.

@ DJP - lol, true

xp ah that may be, but definitely not what that video shows

Sometimes I wish people would just take a breath before evaluating something.

"We need a plan" does not indicate to me that they had a plan, it sounds like they were making shit up on the fly and gathering on-the-spot intelligence to do so. Which is bad! Send them to jail for it!

The bad faith arguments of the GOP would be funny if they were not galling. "We don't want impeachment proceedings to hamper the new administration," shut the fuck up, you are the party of hampering.
