So I guess all the idiots clambering about the free speech of magats being infringed won't mind if I put a giant "TRUMP SUCKS" sign in their front yard.

I do like her platform.

Am I a bad person because this made me laugh?

The unsung hero Tuesday night was the person with the presence of mind to grab the ballot certificates as the House chamber was being evacuated.

Rand Paul meets RuPaul?

Capitol Security was given an impossible task. Can you imagine how difficult it would be to get all of those people to exit through the gift shop?

Bret Favre lives in Arkansas?

That can be used as a penalty for impeachment and conviction.

Yep. Make the visual a part of the historical record. Then take all the broken shit and save it for a special exhibition in the Trump Presidential Library.

Rent out the main ballroom at the DC Trump Hotel. I hear it's open.

Get them out? In handcuffs and to the paddy wagon, I hope.

Yep, with readings from Gideon's Bible.

Yep. There is actually a time to turtle.

I have three immediate thoughts. 1. Cheap ass chess et for a billionaire. 2. Dotard is trying to figure out which piece to eat next. 3. Barron is Eddie Munster.

So are we feeling better about Domer against Bammer?

Does anyone know if the circus on January 6 will be televised?

The Gohmert suit is as silly as the Plaintiff's name would indicate. Leaving aside the obvious questions about standing, whether there is an actual "case or controversy", etc., the argument in the Complaint is that there is a conflict between the Constitution and the Electoral Count Act concerning the method of resolving objections. Specifically, the Complaint asserts that the ECA "limits or eliminates [Pence's] exclusive authority and sole discretion under the Twelfth Amendment to determine which slates of electors for a State, or neither, may be counted; and replaces the Twelfth Amendment’s dispute resolution procedure – under which the House of Representatives has sole authority to choose the President." In other words, Gohmert is arguing that Pence, as President of the Senate has almost unbridled authority to conduct the voting process on Jan. 6, and by creating a structure for resolving disputes, the ECA impinges on that authority. The basic premise of that argument is that Pence does in fact have such authority. All the 12th Amendment says is: "The President of the Senate shall, in the presence of the Senate and House of Representatives, open all the certificates [of the elector's votes] and the votes shall then be counted." This is a perfunctory duty - open the certificates and count the votes. There is not one word in the Constitution about objections to electors, how the objections must be lodged, or how objections are to be resolved. No additional authority is given to the VP to do anything but open the certificates and count the votes. By arguing that the ECA resolution dispute process is unconstitutional, there must be an assumption that objections are allowed in the first place. The Constitution does not provide for objections; that right is only granted by the ECA itself. The internal inconsistency in the logic is staggering. Gohmert, et al are arguing that Congress has the power to create a mechanism for lodging objections (not found in the Constitution) but not the power to set up a process for resolving the objections. The VP's duty to open the certificates and count the votes is being construed as absolute authority to do whatever he pleases. So much for strict construction. If the ECA is unconstitutional, then arguable there is no right to object at all. Only the electors selected by the various states, in the manner determined by their legislatures, can have their votes opened and counted. Those electors are the ones certified by the states - not the ones determined by Pence.

Think he can corch?

I hadn't thought of Carol Wayne in years. Googled her to find out what had become of her. She drowned while on vacation in Mexico in 1985. I had no idea. Got into an argument with her boyfriend, went for a walk on the beach, and disappeared. Her body was found a few days later by fisherman. Dotard are you listening?

License plate should be "PARKME".

It works for Dan Patrick too.

It's hard to overlook a team that last won a conference championship in 1998.

Maybe Drunk David Ash?
