Also, General Milley talking about Trump's comments that he should have been put to death for basically putting out the fires that Trump caused while in office.

Death threats like that are criminal and should be treated as such, as well as those against judges and jury members.

On a positive note, congratulations to the Crypt Keeper for taking on a new bride.

Committee assignment rations are generally and traditionally set according to seat distribution. This would be a committee seat for the Democrats to fill.

Thank you for the clarification! I admit I posted that after reading it on a few tweets on social media... that'll learn me!

Well it’s fair to also think the republicans might try to take advantage of a situation like this. Fortunately the senate still does seem to be a bit more willing to not reach for the deepest depths, but nothing will surprise me.

All true. It's also true, though, that for 5 years or more the Republicans have tossed traditions and handshake agreements out the window (see Garland SCOTUS appointment v. Coney Barrett appointment).

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is apparently announcing his candidacy as an independent. This is good as it helps Biden as it’ll take votes from Trump.

I honestly see it having the opposite effect.

Nah, you hope it'll have the opposite effect. Obligatory "social media isn't real life", but 99% of his support online is from Trump cultists. Wonder why that is.

Will it? Many anti-vaxxers are on the left?

On the other side almost nobody actually wants to vote for Biden again, but they are just as anti Trump and so wil vote against him. I think that same group will see a Kennedy vote as a vote for Trump but the electorate is not always smart
In the end, what a horrid election cycle this is shaping up to be. I mean seriously, Trump, Kennedy and Biden, 2 of the 3 so far off from truth and reality in a whole host of subjects and a third slowly (or rapidly) losing to the ravages of time.

Democrat from New York, Jamaal Bowman apparently has been arrested for pulling the fire alarm in an attempt to disrupt the vote today and shut down the government. He is saying that he pulled the fire alarm thinking it would open the door...
