Here’s what went down: we just won a clean 45 day gov extension, stripped GOP’s earlier 30% cuts to Social Security admin etc, staved off last minute anti-immigrant hijinks, and averted shutdown (for now).
People will get paychecks and MTG threw a tantrum on the way out. Win-win

As always, I can’t reply during live-thread of multiple reporters. Plz remember to preface q’s w “Not for Laffy” or something similar since I’m too distracted to answer. Others can for me. TY.
@Teri_Kanefield don't think for a second that i do not value your reporting. Or your analysis. I am just so tired and angry that #45 keeps getting a pass. He can post his vile screed and not get a push back in any realistic fashion. I feel like just giving up and booking a 1way ticket to
Zurich.
Hey Cannon? Recuse yourself. And I use "recuse" as a euphemism.

Judge #CANNON has denied DOJ's motion to set some key pretrial deadlines in December, saying she will not consider scheduling adjustments until March 1.

@GottaLaff I am raki g the weekend off. Have flown to Stockholm to eat dinner with a dear friend at Sweeden's best Italian restaurant and drink some fine old wine. The #45 mess can wait. Laffy, we will drink a glass in your honour. Thanks for your many toots. Sorry this such a $drity-awful mess
Trump can’t help but violate any gag order a judge puts on him. Already a judge in NY has fined him twice for attacking his clerk and will keep ratcheting up the penalties. And he’s lucky Judge Chutkan put her gag order on hold pending appeal in his federal case because he just violated that one by attacking Mark Meadows as a witness.
It’s time to up the penalties. Put him in jail for a night next time, I say. He needs to get used to being there anyway.
@georgetakei A serious question. What would prison be like for #45? Would they really ask the SS to be there? #45 on his own would not last the First shower.
Every once in a while I remember the TV special that aired the night of Biden's inauguration, and how eerie it was. Partly because there was no live audience (of course - COVID restrictions), but mostly because clearly the entire country was recovering from something terrible that went mostly unnamed (including never naming the previous President).
Like, 1:16:30 into the event, when Presidents Clinton, Bush, and Obama are speaking, outdoors, multiple feet away from each other, talking about the 46th President, and how they'll all gladly support and advise him.
Why are they emphasizing this really obvious normal thing?! And if you can do math, you're, like, "What happened with #45 and why aren't they in this group and why are you never saying their name??"
Heb orffen llyfr #45 eto, ond newydd ddod i ben â’r nofel gynta yn y gyfrol hon. Tro cyntaf i fi ddarllen straeon Von Bek, er i fi ddarllen tipyn o #MichaelMoorcock fel crwt. Wedi herio fy hun i ddarllen yr holl gyfres yma o “Hanes y Pencampwr Tragwyddol”, ond yn ara deg. Mae 14 o gyfrolau mawr, a dim ond y 3 cynta sy ‘da fi ar y silff
@moira it's a Stanley #45 combination plane. You can stack in a number of cutters to make up molding profiles and move the fence to land that profile anywhere up to about 5" from the edge of board.
Of course they don't make them anymore and they are highly collectable.
sure we were, you forget #45? half of us voted to elect one. I’m not saying that was a good idea, but clearly, some of us were more than ready for this.

After I minted two iterations of Power Ranges by @ccddbb some time ago, I wanted to share them and was looking for the right artwork to pair one of them with, but eventually forgot. That's quite a pity, since I like the abstract, colourful images a lot.
Now that the artist themselves has minted the remaining iterations and gave them to previous collectors, a have a nice set that shines on it's own.
