If you have one of those Calm apps on your phone, now is the time to turn it on.

Don, Jr. and his prissy screaming girlfriend Kimberly Guilfoyle want to run RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniels out of town on a rail and take her place as head of the Republican National Committee.

“Don Jr. and Kimberly have an eye on the RNC, through themselves taking over or somebody close to them taking over,” a well-placed Republican Party source close to the White House said.

Don, Jr denies he wants the job but Kimberly and the RNC did not return calls.

“They don’t want the ride to end,” a Trump adviser said of Trump Jr. and Guilfoyle.

Make it end.  Please, dear God, make it end.

Thanks to Epp for the heads up.

Let’s skedaddle over to Arizona this morning where Trump is demanding a hearing before a Superior Court judge contesting that people who cast overvotes were not given an opportunity to correct their ballot.

An overvote is when a voter votes for more than one person in a race.

But, here’s the deal.  Republicans are challenging 180 votes, while Joe Biden leads Donald Trump by more than 14,000 ballots in the state.

Let’s just give them the whole 180 votes, even though – all things being equal – more than half of them would have gone to Joe Biden.

I have a theory, but I could be wrong.  My theory is that all this crap is being caused by people who caught Trump’s addiction to drama or are creating drama to hide what Barr is doing to the judicial system and the Constitution under the cover of chaos.

Y’all, seriously. This was Trump’s tweet this morning.

It appears that Trump wants to relose.  Get your dancing shoes ready – we’re gonna get to dance in the streets again.

Like most of America, I thought the Rudy Giuliani press conference at The Four Seasons (Lawn Care Co.) was so perfectly Shakespearian in its hubris that it became a thing a beauty.

And it gets better.

The first witness Rudy had testify to shenanigans in Pennsylvania was a man named Daryl Brooks.  Come to find out, Daryl is a convicted sex offender.  And that as a poll watcher, Daryl thought he was entitled to look at every damn ballot cast in Philadelphia.  And probably do weird things with them that you do not want to know about. Being next door to a porn shop probably was not an accident.

Some wise person is already making money off Rudy’s Show.

Lawn and Order. That’s good.

And Jake Tapper had fun.

Well, there is a crematorium there.

Thanks to everyone for the heads up.

Nick Caraway sends greetings —

There is no one more polarizing than Alexandria Ocasio Cortez (AOC) but give her this, she gets her money’s worth on the Twitter machine. This past weekend she turned her attention to John Kasich and his comments about progressives.

I think the biggest negative surprise from the race was the lack of effect of people like Kasich. I don’t know that anyone expected Ohio to turn because of him but he, other conservative defectors, and the Lincoln Project didn’t seem to have an electoral effect beyond a few points. So, what positive benefit did Joe Biden have by having people like Kasich on his side?

AOC got blasted for the timing of her tweet, but God love her, she only has one speed. She’s going to go full blast no matter what she does. The question is whether she’s right. The election returns in the House and Senate seem to say she is. Furthermore, polling on individual issues within the progressive platform seem to indicate she is.

It remains to be seen whether national Democratic leaders are shying away from the progressive platform because they don’t believe in it or whether they think appealing to the middle is still a winning formula. I’m not even sure there is much of a middle anymore.

Mike Pence and Nikki Haley are trying to give Trump accolades for this great news.

Pfizer announced Monday morning its coronavirus vaccine is 90% effective.

Pence jumps on this like green on grass.

No, no, no, little Uptight Skippy, Trump didn’t have a damn thing to do with this.

The pharmaceutical giant refused to partner with the Trump administration to develop the drug, instead it worked with a German group.

The CEO of Pfizer turned down the money Trump offered and worked with the German group.  So now Trump has to go to Germany to ask if we can please have some of their drug.

Thanks to everybody for the heads up.
