Rep Stephen Lynch D-MA must be the unluckiest guy in the world

Gets Covid 9 days after second Pfizer vaccination. And he practiced social distancing and wore a mask.

Articles about his timeline may be like one of those math problems that can't be solved because data is missing, but that's what I got out of it.

My SIL who manages drug trials said that her only guess was that he had the virus before his nine day window was up, but not enough to show a positive.

Trump's new lawyer gave advise to Epstein for years!



https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9208201/amp/Trump-announces-attorneys-David-Schoen-Bruce-Castor-head-impeachment-legal-team.html

With his impeachment trial looming in just nine days, former president Trump announced he had a new team of lawyers on Sunday, including David Schoen, who met with disgraced businessman and paedophile Jeffrey Epstein about representing him before his death.

Based on the tone of their five-hour conversation, Schoen is skeptical about the circumstances of Epstein’s death. “I don’t believe it was suicide. … I think someone killed him. I don’t like to speculate. I’m not a conspiracy theorist,” he told the Atlanta Jewish Times in an interview Sunday.

“It was just the two of us in a room, though other people came and went” during their Aug. 1 meeting at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York, Schoen said. “We talked about the future, all sorts of plans for the case, things he hadn’t thought about before. “He was very upbeat, eager to go. I’ve heard from other people who told me how much that meeting meant to him.”

AOC says FEMA is preparing to cover $2 billion in COVID-19 funeral costs: 'We finally got it done!

This is the greatest news ever! She introduced this last year and it languished in committee. Some degree of justice at last !!!

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) will reimburse up to $2 billion in costs for coronavirus funerals, said Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who pushed for the funding as part of the federal COVID-19 relief package.

FEMA working out details.

Proving Trump was in on the Jan 6th plan?

Things that make you go hmmmmm:

1. CNN clip: "We're going to walk down to the Capitol and I'll be right there with you."

Was obviously a blatant lie and he had no intention of marching with them. Why?

And if he was that concerned about the count at the Capitol why didn't he set up his rally on the other end of the Mall?

2. Who was ultimately responsible for leaving Capitol police alone?

Whoever is in charge of Biden's inauguration.. Kudos!!!

Literally the most creative, wonderful thing in so very long.

I thought Biden would be holed up. But what a pure genius idea. There will be 200k flags set up to represent the people not there. And displays for each state and territory!!

Brilliant!

Think Biden should have a real inauguration like J 2022?

One time Trump Dr. Bornstein dead at 73

https://www.showbiz411.com/2021/01/14/exclusive-harold-bornstein-eccentric-doctor-who-said-trump-was-in-excellent-shape-dead-at-age-73

I am gobsmacked. Harold was my doctor in the 80s and early 90s. His father, the late Dr. Jacob Bornstein, was the cousin of a friend of mine. Harold, who loved dispensing medication over the phone, never mentioned that Trump was his patient. But when Trump became president– and his health was questioned– Harold, looking more eccentric than ever, chimed in.

He wrote a letter stating: “If elected, Mr. Trump, I can state unequivocally, will be the healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency.” (The letter is below.)

He later told CNN: “He dictated that whole letter. I didn’t write that letter. I just made it up as I went along.”

Around that time, in 2017, Harold claimed his office had been raided by Trump via a bodyguard. Trump lawyer, and long time associate. It was prompted by an article in the New York Times in which Bornstein said the president takes a prostate-related drug to treat baldness, known as Propecia, as well as other “antibiotics to control rosacea, a common skin problem, and a statin for elevated blood cholesterol and lipids.”

Trump was obviously furious, and that was the end of his relationship with Harold. His obit doesn’t say what he died from, but like everything else touched by Trump, Harold was marked for doom. What a shame. Harold told NBC: “I feel raped — that’s how I feel. Raped, frightened, and sad. I couldn’t believe anybody was making a big deal out of a drug to grow his hair that seemed to be so important. And it certainly is not a breach of medical trust to tell somebody they take Propecia to grow their hair. What’s the matter with that?”

The Harold Bornstein I knew had a great sense of humor. Maybe he wasn’t the best doctor, but he was competent and helpful. He was eccentric, certainly, the opposite of his father, who was a straight shooter. It’s a shame that he got scooped up in the Trump tsunami of lies. The public will only think of him as Trump’s crazy doctor, but I have mostly fond memories of him. RIP Harold. Condolences to family, friends, and patients.

Trump approval craters to 34%

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.politico.com/amp/news/2021/01/13/trump-approval-rating-poll-458602

Tarnished by last week’s riot at the Capitol, Donald Trump is ending his presidency with his lowest-ever poll numbers.

A new POLITICO/Morning Consult poll pegs Trump’s approval at just 34 percent, the lowest in four years of tracking opinions of the president’s job performance. More than six in 10 voters — 63 percent — disapprove.

The Goober contingency,

at the Capitol. They actually think they stopped the (electoral) vote.
