Never put Trump on camera trying to pronounce country names... it never goes well... add America to countries he mispronounced:

Remember how Biden caused outrage over calling George Lopez, George? You think we will see any outrage about Trump making Amurka great? He does know what country he is president off? Covid didn’t hurt his thought his much?

I have a Facebook friend that is a bit of a comedian, posted this
I called my bank and told them to find the extra $11,780 in my account. I asked them to use people who wanted to find the money, not people who didn't want to find the money. I also told them there's nothing wrong with them saying they just recalculated.
It was like an hour long phone call, fingers crossed that they do the right thing!
I've seen this going around Facebook too. Fucking awesome.

Trump's daily schedule was released to the media, this is for Monday and Tuesday of this week (Jan 4/5):
Embracing brevity probably isn't the best course of action right now....“President Trump will work from early in the morning until late in the evening. He will make many calls and have many meetings.”
The First Minister of Scotland is apparently saying nobody is allowed in without essential purpose, because the country (like the UK) is in a state of lockdown. And considering how much of his administration has been spreading covid, I wouldn't be surprised if they blocked him from even leaving the plane if he just showed up to play golf at his failed resort.

"Law and Order", lots of places have had that, Russia, North Korea, Saddam's Iraq.
Laws can be made to enforce order of cruelty and brutality.

225,558 new cases, which is about 26k more than two weeks ago. I would mitigate it by stating that corrections are likely taking place to inflate the numbers somewhat, but 4 states still haven't reported, so I'll just call it a push for now. It's likely that it'll ultimately be proven to be the result of said corrections, but it pretty clearly demonstrates we're nowhere near out of the woods yet.
Top 10:
California: 36,995 new cases; 433 deaths
Texas: 31,646 new cases (new record); 277 deaths
Fuck Florida.
New York: 13,074 new cases; 157 deaths
Georgia: 10,091 new cases; 101 deaths
Pennsylvania: 8,979 new cases; 187 deaths
Ohio: 7,580 new cases; 104 deaths
Illinois: 6,839 new cases; 150 deaths
Arizona: 5,932 new cases; 253 deaths (new record)
New Jersey: 5,621 new cases; 120 deaths
Alabama, Mississippi and West Virginia all had new records, but I'm still taking them with a grain of salt for now.
We're probably starting to see the beginning of the holiday bump with some of these numbers. That Texas spike in new cases is undoubtedly partially due to a correction, but they weren't faring well before the holidays and I wouldn't assume they're doing better after. Arizona's death total is also partially due to a correction but their daily totals have been steadily rising the past few weeks. Remember that the new case totals they're seeing now are higher than their highest ever record during the Summer--and that's when they had to start convening death panels.
Florida had a spike a few days ago over 21k. That they're admitting. Fuck Florida.
3,499 deaths is over 100 more than two weeks ago and brings the total to 365,620. I'm fairly sure we'll be well over 3k for the rest of the week until Saturday. Any 7-day averages will be mostly meaningless at this stage but we were hitting 2.7k before the holidays and there's no reason to believe the deaths took a break the past two weeks. Given that new cases haven't subsided and hospitals remain full to bursting nationwide, it's a pretty safe bet we'll be seeing 3k+ for weeks to come yet.

Since we can't call out Trolls and Bad Faith posters and the Ignore function doesn't actually ignore it. Add

to your ublock or adblock filter to actually ignore ignored posters. Now just need a way to ignore responses to them as well.

Funny story about that....
Trump plane flying to Scotland day before Biden inauguration. So maybe not Russia per se, but someplace close[r] where he can make a cleaner break.
Except...
Scotland says Trump not welcome to visit, barred from traveling to his resort there.
You CANNOT make this shit up if you tried. I understand the Onion is now just posting daily headlines of Trump actions, with no changes. Circulation is up apparently....
No surprise to anyone: National Security Council names Russia as "likely" origin of U.S. agency breach
So, depsite Trump yelling "Jyna!" it's Russia, like it was before, and he's protecting them, like he did before.
Compromat.
