Lots of news tonight. Let’s see. Oh! I know! While we are waiting to find out which criminal Trump associate made a campaign contribution to the Trump campaign in exchange for a pardon, did you hear that the House stripped down its request for Covid unemployment bennies and stimulus and Mitch McConnell still said No? Yeah, that actually happened today.
I think it’s going to be a bleak Christmas for a lot of little kids this year. Maybe we can do something about that.
And then there’s this I found. A lot of people are about to find out that if they make less than $75,000/year, their taxes are about to go up in January 2021. That’s before Biden takes office. And those taxes will continue to go up year after year for the next SEVEN years.
That’s right, we can drag him kicking and screaming from the White House but he’s going to make it uninhabitable for the next president.
Now, how to explain it to the Trump base, who simply refuse to believe that their party is capable of stiffing them for the bill? It’s probably going to go something like this:

I am so not looking forward to this.

The Confluence 
Not only that, but Trump, and Fox, and OANN, and the entire Far Right cohort, will say that Biden raised people’s taxes. People who keep claiming that there were hundreds of thousands of dumped for forged or invented ballots which came in on the late night of the election, have gotten past even the point where they will say anything, without any resemblance to reality. They will just make up whatever they want. And their base will eat it up, and vow revenge. We have gotten to a point where they commit the crimes and then blame them on the other side.
On the other side, there is Biden, who retains this rather amazing confidence that things will be taken care of in a good way. I don’t really see how, not with McConnell standing as the Beadle in “Oliver Twist,” mocking Oliver’s plea for just a little more food. I don’t know whether he actually wants people to starve, and live on the streets, or if he is incapable of understanding. I would vote for the first interpretation,, he is worse than the Marquis de st Evremonde in “A Tale of Two Cities,” whose carriage runs over a little boy; he tosses a small coin to the grieving parents, and says that their child should have been more careful.
We will control the Justice Dept. I expect McConnell, and many other obstructionists, have some dirty dealings which they would prefer not be investigated. Perhaps this would leave room for, ahem, negotiation… 😈
I hope Biden nominates Norm Eisen as Attorney General. He would be a stellar pick. ( Eisen’s book, The Last Palace, is a very good read, btw. )
All of your content is just amazing 🙂
Ma’am, this is an Arby’s. 😛
And now for something completely off topic:
Big Daddy was or is (I don’t know if they still exist as a band or not) a band which covers later hit tunes in the style of pre-Beatles rock and pop music.
An example:
