As we move through the list, you'll note that the events of 2020 influenced this list quite a bit.  Terrible times often yield remarkable artistic achievement.  I think my list…

People who have - "Trump will not last a full term" will win their office pool. Trump's recent tsunami of pardons of hardcore scumbags, traitors and losers makes it more likely that Trump will step down in order to receive a pardon from Pence. Maybe he will try to pardon himself? I'm sure he'd prefer that route, but if a pardon from Pence is the one that Trump thinks will stick - he'll take a pardon from Pence. Predictions: Wednesday, January 20 Inauguration of Joe Biden 2021 - Tuessday, January 19 President Pence takes oath of office on 3:45pmm Issues Pardon of Trump by 4:00pm

Friedman spends a entire column suggesting that Trump will "Force Principled Conservatives to Start Their Own Party" but acknowledges that there are no principled conservatives. As the Trump presidency heads…

Coons' Super Secret Bipartisan Senate Caucus that is going to "work together" to "get things done for the American people" is off to a rough start. Pat Toomey, the one known member of the Super Secret Bipartisan Senate Caucus and Senator who Coons is "eager to work with", is trying to fuckup the stimulus and hamstring Joe Biden. It is almost as if the Super Secret Bipartisan Senate Caucus only exists in Coons' imagination.

President-elect Joe Biden is considering some well-known Republicans — think Meg Whitman types — for Commerce secretary as a way to signal to red-state Americans he understands their concerns and plans to address them.

Red state Americans don't give a fuck about Meg Whitman. They don't want to see "signals" of friendship from Biden. They want to see his head on a pike.

In one last FU to America, Trump is setting up unrealistic expectations for when Americans can actually expect to see widespread distribution of the COVID-19 vaccine. During an interview on…

Actually, no. This is always bullshit and the country is almost always split within a 60-40 range on practically any issue or person you can think of. This is one of the many ways that the basic idea that "lefties need to shut the fuck up and the right wing needs to get whatever they want" is expressed in The Discourse. I'm sure Biden's going to give a bunch of speeches designed to appeal to "David Brooks" ("David Brooks" is just the stage act of David Brooks, who in reality also doesn't give a shit) about coming together and all that, and it'll only matter if he believes his own bullshit. Which he probably does. But it won't matter in the sense of UNIFYING THE COUNTRY because that's a stupid goal anyway.

Duncan Black gets it. Also - Coons is a liar or a moron to continually prattle on about working with Republicans. It is Kabuki staged to please a handful of media gatekeepers.

Trudy Rubin puts on her full Celia Cohen gear and goes to bat for the Vampire fantasy of Senate Bipartisanship. Coons plays his part and names Pat Toomey [not running for office in 2022] as someone he can work with. As for the rest of coons' fantasy bipartisan caucus who are "putting pressure on (GOP) leadership" ... (Crickets chirping in the distance.) Coons doesn't name them because they don't exist.
