So I sit down at 8 p.m. last night and with great dread put on Tucker. The graphic is already there. The Dems already had over 50% with a huge lead. I quickly moved away from the channel and fell asleep a little after 9 as far as I can remember. When I woke up at 4 a.m, I turned the TV on rather than go back to bed for a couple more hours.
Oh what dour faces on Mele, if that's her name, and all the other guests. They looked legitimately frightened and in disbelief, but what were they expecting? The Dems stole both in broad daylight again the same way, with late voter dumps that provided the razor-thin margin of victory for Warlock (really?) after both Democrats had fallen behind. Little late to realize you fucked up going along with the script, guys. Biden will soon be shutting them down.
We have reached such a point of surreal Orwellianism here in AmeriKa that it is hard for me to type now. It's not just the vote theft, it's the who COVID scam which has really become unglued outside the Pharma pre$$ mouthpiece that is the Globe (as proof I would offer the full page Pfizer ad on today's page A3 today describing why they changed their logo!??!!??!!), along with any other agenda-pushing issue they present to us. It's all propaganda and lies and I share his frustration.
Anyway, the Globe's obvious A1 lead today:
Jess Bidgood of the Globe Staff tells us that the Democrat Raphael Warnock made history as the first Black senator from the state, and that Jon Ossoff's campaign is confident he will ultimately prevail over incumbent Republican challenger David Perdue, and I don't want to be a nit-picker but an incumbent can't be a challenger!!
It's just a small example of the semantic word games they employ for perception propaganda purposes.
Flipping below the fold is the follow-up today:
That's what the Maggie Haberman and Annie Karni of the New York Times are reporting and Trump has claimed it is entirely untrue; however, they assure us that Trump’s insistence that he won is baseless (if you don't look for it) -- as baseless as Pence's claim because he has the power to reject electors, he just doesn't want to use it because e$tabli$hment whining will blow the roof off the Senate(?).
So as Pence abandons him, crazy Trump will be preaching to his flock, staged and scripted drama and theater at its finest as tyranny engulfs the land.
2022?
2024?
If you like Soviet-style elections, have at it.
The Senate steals also allow the pre$$ to trumpet -- pun intended -- the utter failure and rebuke of Trumpism, right?
Perhaps Stone and the SRV have been right all along. The extermination camps are coming under the cover of COVID, and holy rapture awaits them (not the way you thought the exit would go, huh?).
The rest of the paper is literally for the birds, and unintentional killings of scores of humans can continue with impunity.
More fake news from the New York Times?
If he is leaving, he will need to find somewhere safe with no extradition so he can escape the criminal charges that are coming and stay out of federal prison where he could get sick.
Perhaps he can find sanctuary in Romania, Qatar, Iran, Vietnam, Hong Kong, Russia, China, or North Korea.
I'm sure someone will pick up the Slack:
"Slack, the popular messaging platform used by millions of people worldwide, restored service after experience a major disruption Monday as many US employees returned to work after the holidays. The company initially called the service problem an “incident” in a statement on its website Monday morning, then upgraded it to an outage an hour later. At 3:10 p.m., the company wrote: “We’re truly sorry for the disruption today.”

"Republican lawyer Cleta Mitchell, who advised President Trump during his Saturday phone call with Georgia’s secretary of state in an effort to overturn the election, resigned on Tuesday as a partner in the Washington office of the law firm Foley & Lardner. Mitchell’s resignation came after the law firm on Monday issued a statement saying it was “concerned by” her role in the call. The firm noted that as a matter of policy, its attorneys do not represent “any parties seeking to contest the results of the election.” The Washington Post on Sunday published audio and a transcript of the hour-long call in which Trump pressured Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to overturn the election results. During the call, Mitchell complained that she had not been given access to certain information from Raffensperger’s office, and Trump relied on her to an extraordinary degree during the call. The Post on Monday published a story detailing Mitchell’s transition from being a liberal Democrat to a conservative Republican, culminating in her role advising Trump during the call....."
The courts are useless so prepare for Biden's inauguration come January 20.
The Globe's resident Democrat flak, Scot Lehigh, says the GOP’s big divide comes down to this: loyalty to principle or president.
The TRUTH, of course, is NOWHERE to be FOUND in the "debate."
Also catching flak (for their last-ditch plan to block Joe Biden from becoming president):
Believe it or not, there is precedent for expulsion:
That's the Washington Compost looking to start Second Civil War, and don't hold your breath waiting for the ACLJU to get involved. You are better off keeping your mouth shut and filing articles of secession as they shut you down for another 3 weeks because of the still-rampaging coronavirus pandemic that continues to morph into outright tyranny as the populace continues to consume the Kool Aid.
This as the Trump presidency comes cra$hing down as Gary Cohn is named the vice chairman of IBM and China makes further inroads into AmeriKan culture (maybe they can clean that place up).

Now it is almost 9 a.m. so if you will excuse me, I am going to take a break, throw myself back into the past (sob), and enjoy at least an hour of a life that once was, a better world, not a perfect world, far from it, but oddly enough, a better time despite the pooh-pooh on the era now.
Once upon a time.....
"Tanya Roberts, a Charlie’s Angel and a Bond Girl, Is Dead at 65; After finding stardom in the 1980s, she fell out of the spotlight until re-emerging in 1998 in the sitcom “That ’70s Show.” by Anita Gates New York Times, Jan. 5, 2021
Tanya Roberts, the breathy-voiced actress who found fame in the 1980s as a detective on “Charlie’s Angels” and as a brave earth scientist in the James Bond film “A View to a Kill,” died on Monday night in Los Angeles. She was 65.
Her death, at Cedars-Sinai Hospital, was confirmed on Tuesday by her companion, Lance O’Brien. Her publicist, who was given erroneous information, had announced her death to the news media early Monday, and some news organizations published obituaries about her prematurely.
The publicist, Mike Pingel, said Ms. Roberts collapsed on Dec. 24 after walking her dogs near her Hollywood Hills home and was put on a ventilator at the hospital. He did not give the cause of death, but said it was not related to Covid-19. He said she had not been noticeably ill before she collapsed.
OMG, she was murdered!
Ms. Roberts’s big acting break came in her mid-20s, when she was cast in the fifth and last season of “Charlie’s Angels,” the ABC drama series that, trading on its stars’ sex appeal, followed the exploits of three attractive former police officers who often fought crime wearing short shorts, low-cut blouses and even bikinis.
The show was an immediate hit in 1976, but Farrah Fawcett, its breakout star, left after one season, replaced by Cheryl Ladd. Kate Jackson quit in 1979, and her replacement, Shelley Hack, was gone after just one season. Ms. Roberts replaced Ms. Hack. Jaclyn Smith appeared throughout the series run.
In retrospect, Charlie looks like an Epstein-type character, but for all its faults the show was empowering for women in its day. The Angels were smart, they kicked ass, and I know it is Spelling-Goldberg garbage but look at what is out there now.
There were high hopes for Ms. Roberts when she joined the cast. Her character, Julie, had some of Ms. Jackson’s character’s streetwise attitude; Julie was known to knock a handgun right out of a tough criminal’s hand. Her part couldn’t save the show’s plummeting ratings, but it did lead to an active decade for her in Hollywood.
Most notably, she was a “Bond girl,” playing a geologist threatened by a microchip-monopolist madman (Christopher Walken) in “A View to a Kill” (1985), Roger Moore’s last appearance as Agent 007.
Ms. Roberts also appeared in “The Beastmaster” (1982), a fantasy film, and she played the title role in “Sheena” (1984), a highly publicized adventure film inspired by a queen-of-the-jungle comic book character. Sheena, a female Tarzan type, wore skimpy fur outfits with décolletage, rode a zebra, talked to animals and shape-shifted. The film flopped at the box office, and Ms. Roberts began fading from public view.
She returned to the spotlight in 1998 on the sitcom “That ’70s Show” as the glamorous, youngish Midwestern mom of a teenage girl (Laura Prepon). In that role she was beautiful, slim and sexy — and delightfully dimwitted. The comic mystery, year after year, was how her short, dumpy husband, played by Don Stark with frighteningly overgrown sideburns, had ever won her heart. Ms. Roberts appeared on the show for three seasons.
That's about the time that television sit-coms went into the toilet.
She was born Victoria Leigh Blum in the Bronx on Oct. 15, 1955, the second of two daughters of Oscar Maximilian Blum, a fountain pen salesman, and Dorothy Leigh (Smith) Blum. According to some sources, Tanya was her nickname. She spent her childhood in the Bronx and lived briefly in Canada after her parents’ divorce. She began her career by running away from home to become a model when she was 15.
Of course.
Back in New York, she studied acting, appeared in some Off Broadway productions and worked as a model and a dance instructor to make ends meet. Her modeling career included work for Clairol and Ultra-Brite toothpaste. She made her screen debut in the horror thriller “The Last Victim” (1976), about a serial rapist-murderer.
After “Charlie’s Angels,” Ms. Roberts acted in both television and films. Her roles included the private eye Mike Hammer’s secretary in the television movie “Murder Me, Murder You” (1983), a detective working undercover at a sex clinic in “Sins of Desire” (1993) and a talk-radio host on the erotic anthology series “Hot Line” (1994-96). Her final screen appearance was on the Showtime series “Barbershop” in 2005.
Even in her heyday, Ms. Roberts appeared not to enjoy being interviewed. Chatting with Johnny Carson on “The Tonight Show” in 1981, she laughed nervously, gave short answers and flirted with Michael Landon, her fellow guest. At one point, Mr. Carson mentioned a cover article about her in People magazine, prompting Ed McMahon, the host’s sidekick, to suggest, “Maybe there’s something in the magazine that’d be interesting.”
Oh, bless his good heart!
Ms. Roberts was a teenager when she married in 1971, but the union was quickly annulled at the insistence of her new mother-in-law. In 1974, she met Barry Roberts, a psychology student, while both were standing in line at a movie theater. They married that year. Mr. Roberts became a screenwriter and died in 2006 at 60.
In addition to Mr. O’Brien, she is survived by a sister, Barbara Chase, who was Timothy Leary’s fourth wife.
Ms. Roberts had always insisted that she was a New Yorker at heart, and not just because she hated driving.
“L.A. drives you crazy,” she said in the 1981 People magazine article. “I’m used to weather and walking and people who say what they mean.”
Well, not anymore. They are now a quivering jello-mold that has commenced industriously in licking the boot of the ruling class and its political puppets and nothing like the past stereotypes.

The Globe's broken link leaves me with a broken heart, and there is one more Angel in Heaven today.
