I would expect that there will be a military strike on Iran in the next month. Something small scale but punitive.
Iran:
Tests missile that isn't aimed at anyone = Sanctions and potential attack

Russia:
Invades Ukraine and kills tens of thousands of people = Sanctions lifted

I thought Howard Stern's take was interesting. Trump just really wants a recount in hopes that he actually lost the election and can just get out it.

President Trump’s ban on Muslims’ entry to the US: Iraq, Syria, Somalia, Libya, Sudan, Iran and Yemen.Certainly not much has changed.

Maher on Harris' podcast would be interesting.

This is hilarious. Some New Yorkers held a mock vigil for the victims of Kellyanne Conway's "Bowling Green Massacre" at the Bowling Green subway station.

http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/...=NYDailyNewsTw


Now Kellyanne is having her own little whiny meltdown over the fact that she was mercilessly ridiculed and criticized for her bulls**t.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...=.d8806ea53db1

Quote:
“I misspoke one word,” President Trump's campaign manager-turned-presidential adviser told Fox News's Howard Kurtz, according to a preview of a yet-to-air interview. “The corrections in the newspapers that are attacking me are three paragraphs long every day.”

Conway endured a day of mockery after she defended Trump's refugee ban to MSNBC's Chris Matthews by raising the specter of “the Bowling Green massacre.”

“Most people don't know that because it didn't get covered,” Conway told Matthews. There was no massacre at Bowling Green. Conway's comment instantly inspired memes.
Quote:
Much of the Bowling Green massacre mockery, in fact, has been issued from Bowling Green itself — where the Associated Press reported a pizza has been named after Conway's mistake.

Melissa McCarthy as Sean Spicer is one of best things SNL has ever done.

The Bannon bit on SNL was pretty good too. "President" Bannon.

Trump's administration is an absolute gold mine for comedians. The jokes practically write themselves. Can't wait for Trump's weekly SNL Twitter tirade tomorrow.

That Melissa McCarthy bit is genius.

The Federal Appeals court has rejected the Administration's request to reinstate the travel ban.

The US federal appeals court has rejected the Trump administration's request to reinstate a travel ban blocked by a federal judge on Friday.
The late night ruling means the travel ban will remain suspended until the full case has been heard.
The court gave the White House and the states challenging it a deadline of Monday to present more arguments.
