A year ago today, Trump committed a crime. Why hasn't he been arrested already?

One year ago today (January 2, 2021), Trump called Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger and pressured him to change the state's 2020 vote totals. That alone is a crime. Why the hell hasn't Trump already been charged?

Jim Wood - One of the most stupid men in America. Believes Trump's lies with no evidence.

Just in case he Googles his own name. His name is Jim Wood and boy, he is stupid!

"I don't consider him the president of the United States," the retired US Air Force veteran told AFP at his New Hampshire home surrounded by oak and birch trees and houses displaying "TRUMP" signs.

"I had seen the election results and I thought things don't seem that right," said Wood.

Yes, it's just not right when the racist wannabe dictator doesn't win.

Marco Rubio: This virus only causes sore throats. Carry on spreading it around.

"Record numbers testing positive for a sore throat isn't a crisis. And people in the hospital for car accidents testing positive isn't a surge," Rubio wrote. "The real crisis is the irrational hysteria which has people with no symptoms waiting hours for a test or missing work for 10 days."

He went on to encourage fans who attended Friday's Orange Bowl football game in Miami.

"Very happy to see a packed stadium for tonight's #OrangeBowl," he tweeted. "There is no reason to close, limit or cancel anything. Ignore the hysteria & have a great New Years Eve!"

It's time for Biden administration to be aggressive in attacking the maskless and unvaccinated.

They are filling the hospitals. They are spreading the virus. They are responsible for the new surge. They are the reason so many are dying. They are the reason the economy isn't doing even better. They need to be called out, and the media outlets that feed misinformation need to be called out. I don't know about you, but I am tired of Republicans controlling the media narrative because they yell out their lies so loudly.

They need to be blamed, loudly and clearly, by the Biden administration and Democratic lawmakers, day after day after day until this nightmare is over, because the GOP will make sure Joe Biden gets the blame for everything the assholes are responsible for. and Donald Trump will become our dictator, and that will be the end of America. This isn't the time to be passive. This is the time to fight back aggressively before we lose everything.

My idea for a government-sponsored vaccination/mask ad campaign. What do you think?

Masked man in supermarket to another masked customer: "Thank you for wearing a mask."
Masked woman at movie theater to another masked movie goer: "Thank you for doing the right thing!"
Man behind counter at takeaway restaurant to customer: "Thank you for thinking of others and wearing your mask."
Repeat similar three second vignettes ten times and then text on screen: "Thank you to those who are saving lives. Together we can beat this."

Repeat style of campaign for vaccinations.

My in-law family drive me mad. What advice can you give me?

I've got an uncle - wife's father's brother. Here's what he said about coronavirus yesterday: "They brought it into America from China to help the Democrats win with all the postal votes. They know how to stop it, but they won't. They are withholding it from the public. Masks don't do a damn thing."

Then my wife's brother is an anti-vaxxer, climate denier who thinks masks don't work. I never see him now because in other ways he has proven to be a selfish bastard, such as taking care of his parents--he left it to me and my wife. His kids (in their twenties) believe the same stuff. We are seeing one of them tomorrow.

My wife gets upset with me when I express how I feel about them, which is that I believe all their willingness to believe conspiracy theories without evidence is because they are racist. What advice can you offer me?

GDP growth forecast for USA slashed for next year because one man put himself first (Joe Manchin).

Goldman Sachs Group Inc. lowered its forecast for U.S. economic growth after Senator Joe Manchin said Sunday he won’t support the $2 trillion tax-and-spending plan that’s the heart of President Joe Biden’s economic agenda.

The bank’s economic research team cut next year’s real GDP forecast to 2% from 3% in first quarter, 3% from 3.5% in second quarter, 2.75% from 3% in third quarter.
