Rudy Guiliani tried called Sen Tuberville DURING the riot asking him to delay the vote another day..  only problem, he called Senator Lee (UT) by mistake who released the audio!!

Senator Tuberville? Or I should say Coach Tuberville. This is Rudy Giuliani, the president's lawyer. I'm calling you because I want to discuss with you how they're trying to rush this hearing and how we need you, our Republican friends, to try to just slow it down so we can get these legislatures to get more information to you. And I know they're reconvening at 8 tonight, but it …  the only strategy we can follow is to object to numerous states and raise issues so that we get ourselves into tomorrow—ideally until the end of tomorrow.

I know McConnell is doing everything he can to rush it, which is kind of a kick in the head because it's one thing to oppose us, it's another thing not to give us a fair opportunity to contest it. And he wants to try to get it down to only three states that we contest. But there are 10 states that we contest, not three. So if you could object to every state and, along with a congressman, get a hearing for every state, I know we would delay you a lot, but it would give us the opportunity to get the legislators who are very, very close to pulling their vote, particularly after what McConnell did today. It angered them, because they have written letters asking that you guys adjourn and send them back the questionable ones and they'll fix them up.

So, this phone number, I'm available on all night, and it would be an honor to talk to you. Thank you.

This virus mutation is gonna burn through our lazy population, it's scary to think about.

The 'doubling rate' is also scary.  Right now I think it's about 6 weeks, and its at 3,000 a day.  So by the end of February it could be 6,000 a day.  Where it gets scary is in early April, the tail end of winter, could then be 12,000 a day?

I actually think he'd have been perfect in Dicaprio's role.

That I can see, yeah. Leo was great, but Tom Cruise would've nailed it as well.

Wouldn't put it past them that its a deep fake.


A guy on GMA brought up the fact that 'More people have died at the trump Riots than Benghazi'

A Capitol Police officer who was hit in the head with a fire extinguisher has died. I think he was on life support the past 24 hours.

In the first news report video James posted earlier (had trouble quoting on my phone) my favorite segment is about how grocers are using your data. As someone who works for a predominant player in the, ahem, data industry, it’s quite humorous to see how this has been happening for decades.

Would be interesting to watch. Yeah I remember when those 'supermarket cards' came out, it was a thing. Save money by being a member. lol, years later I learned its just so they can keep track of who I am (age, gender, buying habits) but also sell that data (age, zip code, approx salary/am I cheap or do I buy nice items).

Too little too late. Probably a deep fake video anyway because he's to out of his mind to recite such a script.

Guys an ass. #25thAmmendment

Cruise turned down Brad Pitts role in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Tarantino wrote the character specifically for him. Now that was an all time screw up. It was over scheduling, but it Tarantino offers you a role, you put everything else on hold and do it.

Wow, didn't know that.  I gotta say, I think Pitt fit the part. Older, washed up, working class dude, kinda going nowhere in his life. I felt he nailed it good. Like a drifter.  Reminded me of one of his first roles in Thelma & Louise.

They need to invoke the 25h. It's time.

There is absolutely no reason to believe trump is going to behave after his "concession" last night. Who would take the word of this man? He's shown over and over again he is not fit for office and is a pathological liar.

The 25th must be invoked and he has to be removed to ensure a peaceful transition.

Apparently when Pelosi and Schumer tried calling Pence to discuss invoking the 25th, he didn't answer his phone.

I still believe something unconventional happened last night. Trump was taken out of the loop at some point. Advisers saying he sounded insane while ranting and raving to the point they couldn't get through to him.

He also refused to call in the national guard when the storming of the Capitol happened...and advisers saying he looked to be enjoying it.

He's insane and beyond defending at this point.

I think he really wasn't relenting and thinks them overtaking the building would pause the vote, giving him more time to win this. I think everyone around him felt he was nuts, and delusional, but he really thought he would win it over at the end.

I do think Pence is pissed. I think pompeo & rosenstein just want these 2 weeks to pass, mcconell probably too. elaine chao, mcconnels wife & cabinet member, resigned, apparently avoiding to vote. Curious, if she was upset the others weren't going to vote to remove him, or if she saw they were preparing to vote, otherwise if she didn't want to be singled out as one of those who voted to keep him in office and is outnumbered. We'll see.
