What will we tell the children?

Adam Kinzinger is a Republican congressman from Illinois.  He announced that he, along with several of his colleagues, was going to form a PAC to target Matt Gaetz and Majorie Taylor Greene, among others, in the next Republican primary.

As you know, when Matt Gaetz stands up you can either measure his height by his body or by how much man he is.  Shorty Gaetz went to the Twitter Machine and told the whole damn world —

Woo … wooo … okay, everybody now … wooo … wooo … (chuckle)

Gaetz did not realize that people were going to laugh at that?

Yeah, that’s how tall he is.

Thanks to Carl for the heads up.

In my current job I work with a lot of numbers. It could be kids’ test scores on STAAR, IQ tests, or achievement tests. I look at grades so often i usually get dizzy. So, you’ll forgive me if I like to look at numbers away from work as well.

I certainly have found it interesting that the last two votes in the Senate (on the constitutionality of impeaching the ex-president) had the exact same results as this CBS poll. So, the Senate voted 56-44 and the people currently support impeachment 56-44.

You rarely see that kind of alignment. Most of us don’t see the Senate voting differently when this whole shindig is over. What might change is that number from the overall population. We noticed it last time when the people heard the evidence from the first impeachment trial. It won’t be a ton of movement, but no one really expects it to be.

In terms of data and statistics, a swing of even a few points is a huge deal. It could be the difference between breaking even in House races in 2022 and gaining maybe ten seats. Think of the difference between a four point Biden win and a seven point Biden win. It’s a huge difference even if it looks small in the moment. If you can shift that 56 number to 60 then you’ve made some serious headway. That’s true even if the Senate turns in the same 56-44 vote they have the last two times.”

Trump’s goons came within seconds of grabbing Mike Pence.  Let me ask a question: do you think they would have performed a citizen’s arrest and taken Pence to a judge to get his warning and see a magistrate?

Oh hell no.  They killed one cop, cut fingers off another and Trump didn’t even send out a nasty tweet about them.

Mike Pence didn’t have the courage to do what should have been done to protect our Country and our Constitution, giving States a chance to certify a corrected set of facts, not the fraudulent or inaccurate ones which they were asked to previously certify. USA demands the truth!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 6, 2021

This tweet went out about 10 minutes after it was reported that Pence had been taken off the floor.

Trump saw what was happening.  Mike Pence, who had stuck by Trump through at all, was issued a death warrant.  Those Republican senators have to wonder if they are next. Is Trump going to put a bounty on their heads?

I am convinced that Trump wanted Mike Pence dead just to put terror in the hearts of any who crosses him.  I am. I am convinced. I think he is that evil.

Okay, kiddos, the House Managers have announced they have new footage from January 6th that they intend on showing today.

I am going to get my second vaccine today so I may miss it dammit.  I don’t know how I’m going to react to the vaccine – my friend Pam felt so bad that she called me on the phone just to have somebody to cuss at. My friend Tammy Lou got a hankering for hot dogs and sent her Bubba up to Sonic for like, I dunno, a half dozen of their foot longs with extra onions.

They say the Democrats have 18 hours to present their case and if yesterday is any indication, you may get to see some stunning lawyering. Following that there will be 18 hours of some guy on uppers screaming out things written in a notebook he dropped on the way in the door and didn’t get the pages put back in order. Honey, he’s got it floored in neutral.

Check in when you can.
