Trump Calls Georgia Senate Races ‘Illegal And Invalid’. Maybe he’s been looking at the campaign polling. The Rethuglican circular firing squad, it’s a beautiful thing. Happy New Year, Mike Pence. RWNJ’s want him in prison. He’s gonna have to declare Biden the President-Elect, and his plan to skip town right after said declaration has been […]

Biden (Finally) Calls Out Trump Appointees For Obstructing Transition. Calls them irresponsible. House Hands Trump Two FU’s. Overrides veto of defense bill. Approves $2000 stimulus checks.

Trump Pardons Murderers Of Civilians. The so-called Biden 4. They had been a cause celebre for paramilitary mouth-breathers. He also pardons three corrupt Rethug politicians, among others: The three former members of Congress pardoned by Mr. Trump were Duncan D.
