Irony is not dead,,,

x NEWS: Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen says US will hit the statutory debt limit and begin "extraordinary measures" to pay the bills starting Jan. 21. Unclear how long it'll go. (The "X date" for Congress to act or avert default may not be known until after tax filing deadline.)

Mitch, growing a spine? Yeah, right. Mitch McConnell facing new wave of pressure to derail Trump Cabinet nominee. www.rawstory.com/…

Former Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is facing a new wave of pressure to step into the breach and derail one of Donald Trump's most controversial Cabinet nominees. According to a report from the New York Times, polio survivors and family members are urging McConnell –– a polio survivor himself –– to stop Trump from successfully handing the job of being his next secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services to Robert F. Kennedy Jr. ✂️ According to Susan L. Schoenbeck, a polio survivor and author of the book “Polio Girl,” McConnell needs to step up. “If McConnell fails to speak out on this issue it will undoubtedly stain his legacy,” she told the Times and then added, "I’m not sure the polio survivor community could ever forgive him.”

Truth Rep. Crockett!!

x Thanks to President Biden, Medicare is capping the prices of 15 more prescription drugs, including medications for Type 2 Diabetes, cancer, and asthma. If Trump and the GOP try to stop these price cuts, it will be CLEAR who they really serve - their billionaire buddies.

Remember this for later this week.

x This is a ploy so they can shut it down on Sunday, blame it on Biden, then turn it back on in 1-2 days so Trump can play the hero and claim credit. It’s sad to see that the Chinese Communist Party is working with Trump so closely to deceive app users and the American people.

Dammit. I thought we'd heard the last of the Pillow Guy.

Yup.

x It's so fitting that Donald Trump's inauguration will be held in the Capitol Rotunda, the very place four years ago where his pack of lawless loons ransacked, looted, and smeared their excrement. What an apt metaphor for what the incoming administration plans to do to America.
