Trump makes final vote certifying election a loyalty litmus test
POLITICO
Joined a doomed effort and win the loyalty (and fundraising prowess) of Trump forevermore. Or roll with the winning team and risk his ire as long as he keeps an enemies list.
That is the choice for congressional GOP on the once-perfunctory vote to certify the election on January 6th.

Now I could be wrong, but didn’t Pelosi say that $1,200 wasn’t enough the last time we were to get a stimulus check? And this time $600 is fine? What happened between those dates?? - ANDREW M
The money is flowing to the Dems based on Trump hate. Anything that made Trump not look like a burning dumpster fire could endanger the fundraising flow. If that happens Pelosi, as a massive fundraiser, is of less use.
Oh yeah… and something something pandemic relief.

I have a job for Sidney Powell. It is becoming clear that the algorithms developed in our nation's hospitals for vaccine distribution are bad. Stanford has had quite a few issues. The distribution algorithm is putting too much weight on age and not enough on clinical practice. Old doctors that don't see patients face to face are getting vaccinated before front-line doctors and nurses. It is also happening at two major health systems in the midwest that I know of. If Sidney Powell can produce this wunderkind algorithm writer, perhaps we can get the vaccine distribution correct. - SEAN
Speaking of algorithms I would pay money to hear Sidney Powell explain Tenet to me.

The legends say that Nancy Pelosi was visited by three ghosts that night. The next morning, looking from her window, she yelled "You boy, what day is it?" to the grown man below.
"It's December 22 Ma'am." , replied the man.
"That's right and the state is in lockdown, you should be at home."
"But I don't have a home, Mrs. Pelosi."
"Well, you should get back to your cardboard lean-to and wait for the government to slide your $600 stimulus check between the flaps of that old U-Haul box."
Excitedly the man ran home yelling, "Oh, Mrs. Pelosi $600 whole dollars! Do you really mean it?!"
And that, dear children, is why we wrap a Kente cloth scarf around our Christmas tree to remind us of the year Nancy saved Christmas.
Merry Christmas Everyone. - KEN

For lots of reasons I think it's time for Pelosi & Feinstien to step aside & let some of the younger kids play. - GARY
