From February 2, 2020
One president, who professes never to touch alcohol, drunkenly reacts to the National Anthem:
- Green Eagle reviews how six living US Presidents acknowledged the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.
- I’m old enough to remember I am not a crook by a President who will forever be remembered as a crook. The Propaganda Professor finds parallel statements from Kelly Ann Conway, Amy Coney Barrett, and all of MAGAland reacting to a veiled and oblique critique from Dubya.
That last did remind me of an incident from decades ago. I assured an elderly relative that authorities would find and jail whoever had stolen her Social Security check. Her sticky fingered husband got mad that I would threaten him with prison.
- driftglass dances a little with Trumpster Kayleigh McEnany, who gets mad about how crime went up in 2020. President Joe Biden should be grown up enough to take responsibility. Then she gets all deleeetio after someone points out that President Joe was just Citizen Joe. In 2020, Donald Trump was still trying to tell his crowd America didn’t have the right to toss him out.
- In Scotties Toy Box our former president has not given up on Georgia, asking that the certified 2020 vote total be overturned.
- Frances Langum explains the legal strategy of Donald Trump’s own pillow guy, Mike Lindell. Mike says the Supreme Court will hear his case and install Donald Trump as President because family members will pressure them.
I have an excuse. I was in high school more than half a century ago.
I have flat out forgotten that part of civics class.
- In Letters from an American, Heather Cox Richardson offers one of the very best daily summaries of the news, tying each loose end quite reasonably to the next.

It is the most explicit, written in their own words, piece of evidence so far. And it carries additional significance, as Republicans take steps to to overturn the next election.
- The audit is complete. It alleges that Donald Trump got fewer votes and Joe Biden got more votes than the official tally. In the Borowitz Report, President Biden thanks Arizona Republicans for letting him relive the greatest victory of his life.
- News Corpse watches Eric Trump on the Fox Network complaining about getting subpoena after subpoena after subpoena. He’s almost treated as if he was guilty of multiple crimes.
- In Hackwhackers former hero against the five families, former mayor, former Trump representative, former lawyer Rudy Giuliani has been of all places banned from the Fox Network.
Oh my.
This is worse than the Borat episode.
Okay. Not worse, but just as bad.
Okay, not as bad.
But bad.
- At The Onion your unvaccinated parents want to know if you’re coming home for COVID this year.
- Ted McLaughlin at jobsanger brings us the inevitable FOX News poll (sigh) on Republican COVID policies vs Biden policies and, as you might expect from Fox – – Oh Wow!!.
