Too bad they didn’t do this on January 22, 2017 when he had the Muslim ban and nasty comments ensued, close to inciting riots, thus violating their terms of service. what the hell, only a few days left in his term. Maybe impeachment will happen.
Benny’s Bar & Buds is open for hangout. This serves as an open thread.

Fire away…
I think I know what Ma Jones would say.
If passed by the house Trumpcorp will achieve another historical first. Impeached twice, but i wonder how he’ll retaliate as he often does? After all thats embarrassing him again
the House flag looks a little like a death face with a frown. lol
Not to mention 6 R politicians
Jcb posted a tweet by Kurt Schrader. Guess who’s the fall guy.
All reasons to celebrate. Let me pour myself a nice glass of red wine. This has been a very emotional week.
Hope you like Pinots.
Yes. My favorite, in fact. From CA specifically.
When I used to drink red wine, pinots from Willamette River in OR were one of my favs, along with just about any malbec from Argentina (best value for the money). I use malbec most of the time if I’m braising beef for a stew.
NYCVG, I’m joining you with a glass of cabernet sauvignon from a company called Menage A Trois. Lol. Cheers!
Cheers right back at you!.
I was about to make an ole fashioned to join you but the Mrs decided on making grasshoppers
In case someone would like one. Cheers to you and Mrs wi62. TGIF…
hahahaha
From what i heard from one of my inlaws that are in the cult, Apple made it official they cant get to it on their i phone
Wow! He lost his twitter account! đź
TGIF, time for a sip!
What’s your libation?
Can I take a raincheck? đ
Thank you!
Will Joe Manchin be against this too?
Manchin has already walked back his unfortunate remarks about the $2000 checks.
Thanks, I didn’t hear about that.
After Goldman Sachs released that report, of course.
From the WaPo short article:
This link on my default feed (when I click on a new browser (I use a lot of browsers) still shows this clickbait on Saturday morning.
The headline sure doesn’t come across as “mixed signals”!
Joe, you can do better. still not really grokking the suffering or do you just not care.
Bernie on fire.
Keep talking Bernie.
Biden spoke about Bernie at length today. The remark that got my attention is that Biden expects the 2 of them to tour the country together advancing the Agenda. If this comes true it will be something.
I’ll try to locate the remarks and post them.
great. but only if joe really does deep stuff. if bernie gets used as a front for baby steps i’ll just cry. maybe yell. be sad as hell.
I was wondering about that! Thanks, polarbear mentioned it, and I thought, “Wait, Biden’s going to tour with Bernie??” Very smart thing to do, imo.
Giant News from NYC!
King Cuomo II, the Lesser Cuomo, has finally relinquished control of Vaccine distribution to the guy who has had it right all along. Yes, the much maligned man of the people, Mayor Bill de Blasio.
Starting on Monday vaccine distribution in NYC will progress as de Blasio has been begging and pleading for.
I don’t want to bore anybody but Cuomo has been Trumplike in making this human tragedy all about him and his wonderfulness. \s
Early on de Blasio called for Shelter-In-Place. Cuomo denounced this as dumb saying we’re not under nuclear attack and we don’t need kids ducking under their desks.
10 days later, Cuomo finally closed New York airports, etc. At least 10,000 deaths are on his hands for his blustering and delays.
A few months ago, Cuomo wrote a book congratulating himself for defeating Covid. No, I’m not kidding. There was a poster also celebrating his victory lap.
Now, the situation in NYC is that vaccines have sat on shelves because the Governor devised the rules and insisted on the City following them. Meanwhile, the tough and very very bad guy ridiculed the Mayor.
Finally, today a breakthrough.
Cuomo cops. He relents. Here we go NYC. Now the light at the end of the tunnel is visible from my perch in Lower Manhattan.
someone, somewhere probably thinks that’s hot. he looks like he does. smh
He looks like a character Borat would portray in one of his movies. I would not be surprised if Borat doesn’t make a great parody of this horrid event.
Bwahahahaha…
Lololol…
Sounds like Bernie made a deal with Biden. Question is what will happen with Neera Tanden.
With the GA wins, Bernie is certainly better off in the Senate as Budget Chair
I agree.
Senate Committee Chair is an important powerful position.
Bernie knows the way power works in Congress. I doubt he was interested in the Labor job, to begin with. His eye was always on the Budget Chair.

This article mentions Biden and Bernie touring together. Still looking for a video clip.
Thank you NYCVG, I’m somewhat intrigued by this talk of a tour.
One thing we do have to bear in mind is that social media platforms are going to get tighter with their terms. Lots of power behind those tech companies.
They need to be tightly regulated, and monopolies broken up. They are no different from any other business with their greed for power and the resultant abuse.
Tonight’s schaudenfreude:
Biden announced today that his Cabinet appointments were complete.
Bernie got a big shoutout.
Left out—Boo hoo—were Hilary Clinton Elizabeth Warren and Andrew Cuomo.
Tooooo bad. So sad. not a mention. not a word. 3 dreadful people out of the running.
Now to deny Neera a seat. it could happen.
Only if 3 Dems/Bernie don’t go along.
No đđđ or did i miss it?
hillary’s pulling strings, imho. she doesn’t want to be named.
âTraitorâ: Lindsey Graham surrounded by Trump supporters at airport after breaking with president
KHARMA at its best
David Moye·Reporter, HuffPost
Fri, January 8, 2021, 4:45 PM CST
Supporters of President Donald Trump harassed Sen. Lindsey Graham at the Washington, D.C., airport on Friday after the former Trump loyalist broke with the president for inciting a mob attack on Congress.
The South Carolina Republican was looking at his phone when a group of people noticed his presence and tried to engage with him.
He ignored them and started to walk away, escorted by police, according to GreenvilleOnline.com.
If Graham hoped to walk through the airport without being hassled, he was surely mistaken, gleefully noted Mindy Robinson, a far-right former congressional candidate from Nevada who supports Trumpâs unhinged conspiracy theories about the election.
Her own video of the incident shows people yelling âtraitor!â and âpiece of shit!â at Graham.
Graham earned the ire of Trump supporters earlier this week after he decided no longer to push Trumpâs false election fraud theories and to instead accept Joe Biden as the new president. Graham had previously been an active participant in Trumpâs scheme to overturn the election, including by reportedly pressuring the Georgia secretary of state to change election results.
Although it probably wasnât fun for the senator to be approached by the same type of angry mob that Republicans like Trump, Sen. Ted Cruz and Sen. Josh Hawley goaded into storming the Capitol on Wednesday, Graham didnât get much sympathy from Twitter users.
One person gently tried to explain that Graham canât be a traitor since his only loyalty is to his own political survival.
