Congrats on your growth. I would add the Presidential Medal Of Freedom awards to your list of good news. Also Biden is helping the environment by blocking more gas exploration in the Gulf. Biden is doing great work.

Fuck Elon Leon. The POS needs to go to jail and I mean, solitary confinement. As far as Trudeau, what was he thinking going to MAL to kiss the ring? Look at the president of Mexico and Honduras clap back at the orange shit stain.

Who the fuck in their right mind is going to watch a biopic about Malaria???? Bezos is out of his mind. All newspapers can fuck off.

Today does suck, not only because of what happened 4 years ago, but because MVP could be certifying her own election win today.

Glad you guys are back.

We're in a race to the bottom as far as media is concerned. Looking more like North Korea.

All anyone needs to know about Melania, she told us herself with the statement on the back of her jacket.

I Really Don't Care

Do U?

Certainly not interested in some hyped-up, fake life story.

Welcome back, guys! Great to see TBS grow!

In Virginia-thanks for the reminder to vote. I already did, voted for (D) Jack Trammell. A good man, who unfortunately in this rural district outside Richmond, has about as much chance of getting electedvas a snowball in hell.

People dont vote for what's good for them sadly.

I lived in S VA for 12 years. Difficult to get any Dem elected South of Charlottesville. Two different worlds. Tom Perriello was the best but we couldn't keep him long.

Graham's speech was very good. Didn't know he had it in 'im. I wish he and other republican's took their oath seriously all the time. As far as SCOTUS goes, you reap what you sow. They'll get no sympathy from me when they meet their Luigi.

I think John Roberts forgot to list number 5 (which should actually be number 1) “The ease of buying specific decisions from SCOTUS.” ARE YOU LISTENING CLARENCE AND SAMUEL???

“Unfortunately, not all actors engage in ‘informed criticism’ or anything remotely resembling it,” Roberts wrote. “I feel compelled to address four areas of illegitimate activity that, in my view, do threaten the independence of judges on which the rule of law depends: (1) violence, (2) intimidation, (3) disinformation, and (4) threats to defy lawfully entered judgments.”

It's so absurd that Roberts recognizes the smell of putrification in his chambers well enough to talk about it, but he thinks whining about it will somehow convince us that isn't rotting carcasses we smell wafting out? Bizarre really.

Congrats on 150K! You deserve every subscriber.. I look forward to your cussing and truth telling every weekday. Also, as an ex-Postie I grieve for a once great newspaper.

Anyone still supporting Bezos by subscribing to Prime or his subversive, intrusive Alexa BS is part of the problem. Stop feeding the gorilla. I am perfectly happy to wait a few days for package delivery (also better for the environment), most of the shit he sells are cheap fakes as are the reviews. We need to starve the beast(s). I can find 98% of the oddball shit I need on Ebay. I shop Amazon maybe 4 times a year for a few things I cannot find anywhere else. Never been a fan. It's the last place I spend my money. YOU DON'T NEED HIM.

Glad to see you back and hope you had a good break. Your opening comment about elmo wanting world domination is definitely right on....and I'm pretty sure it has inspired dumpy to compete for it as well. He now wants Canada, Greenland, and the Panama Canal so far. The orange menace isn't even in office yet and is still creating mass fuckery!

Every single Democratic representative and senator could say that Trump** participated in an insurrection against the American government and, therefore, he or she cannot under the 14th amendment vote to certify Trump**’s election. But they won’t.

Further, Governor Gerald Polis (D-CO) is also kissing RFK Jr.’s ass.

I understand following the rule of law. I do NOT understand formerly respected Dems kissing up to Trump and his minions. Whatever their game is, it's going to be game over for them in the next election.

The 14th Amendment provides that an insurrectionist cannot hold federal office. Voting against certification would be following the law.

No, keeping him off the ballot would be following the law and the couple states that tried it got smacked down.

The 14th Amendment contains a categorical prohibition against anyone who swore to uphold the Constitution and who participated in an insurrection against the United States from holding office. The Amendment says nothing about ballots or certification of elections. SCOTUS held that a state could not keep an insurrectionist off its ballots; it also said Congress had to pass something to effectuate the terms of the 14th Amendment. By voting not to certify the election of the insurrectionist, Trump**, a congressperson would follow the instructions of SCOTUS and the contents of the 14th Amendment.

When trump eventually dies a natural death his funeral as compared to Carter will be loathed by half of the citizens of the US. Citizens will piss on his grave

Also in the news, apparently Suckerberg has put a high-ranking republican in charge of Facebook; apparently to run off his last users there. I stop in basically to keep in touch with some old friends in other parts of the world but, coincidentally, it's been a full time job the last few weeks blocking every form of RW, musk-loving bullshit media whores off my page (which is usually a quiet, boring little place) so FB is trying to become another eX-Twitter.

Ashamed of the democrats. You did nothing to stop this sham certification. Convicted felon. When will Dems stand and fight TODAY? Not living to fight another day. Bunch of cowards. Always waiting to fight another day. Don’t make any waves democrats whatever you do! I am going to register independent.65 years of being a democrat and when the real test came, you fucking caved in fear.

I have a problem with people criticizing the Dems for following the rule of law. So you want Dems to act like repugs and then what does that get us?? If we become like them democracy really IS dead and they won. The problem is the American voters who do not get it.

According to the Constitution of the United States, the vice-president does not have the authority to refuse to certify the election. Period.

Next you will suggest Dems should all walk into Congress carrying big guns and shoot all the repugs. That will save democracy, eh?
