To filibuster or not to filibuster? Biden needs to get a move on before Doofus Duck waddles back into the swamp (Biden-Trump Thread #128)

Still waiting for the kraken to appear.

This about US gymnasts Simone Biles, McKayla Maroney, Aly Raisman and Maggie Nichols testify before Congress about FBI's Nassar investigation

On California there is this:

Very good to see the recall effort failed, you must feel relieved Across

Were these enquiries into sexual abuse by powerful men conducted by the FBI under Trump stooges, by any chance? Maybe they can redeem themselves now the boss is no longer in cahoots with the subjects of the investigations.

According to the CNN article, Allegations into Nassar were first brought to the agency in July 2015.

Wray was confirmed as director in 2017.

Some news (and not from The Twilight Zone): The Biden White House is praising Fox for the new Covid policy it announced to employees on Tuesday — and it's encouraging the network to "convey to its audience" that such "practices will protect" people. t.co/aoYJfgkO16

Thank you, extremely relieved!

All the polls were pointing that way and the early returns were too. But I (and many others) remember going to bed with confidence in 2016 and waking up to a disaster.

Let's hope they won't show up.

Reading the Kavanaugh article... I would love that to be investigated. Blasey Ford swept under the carpet, and Kavanaugh hugely in debt. Then suddenly he wasn't.

Heartbreaking what those girls and women went through with Nassar.

Gee, people who rioted on 6 Jan are afraid of 'more arrests' if they gather again to protest an investigation into 6 Jan? Duh! Considering their penchant for violence I'd say that 'more arrests' are a foregone conclusion. Not because of a 'govt plot', but because of their own stupidity and 'mob mentality'.

Yes, the Kavanaugh is extremely murky.

Wow, Trump’s big lie
www.rawstory.com/amp/trumps-big-lie-2655044088-2655044088

About 78 percent of Republicans believe Biden did not win the election fair and square, although only 54 percent believe there is solid evidence to justify that view, and Trump has ensured that GOP candidates promote his lies by endorsing candidates who do.

Not sure about the use of the word 'only"

Shameful.

I just came to post that link lionheart

Awful new poll findings:

* 76% of those who trust Fox News or other right wing media believe 2020 was stolen

* Only 12% of those who trust those right wing media sources blame 1/6 on Trump. 64% blame leftists

That is scary reading

I really hope this works.

Round 2?
More likely to kick off between pro-Trumpers and the counter protest contingent than storming the Capitol I would think.

Police warned of threats of violence at a planned Saturday rally at the U.S. Capitol by Donald Trump supporters, and the National Guard put 100 troops on standby to provide support, after the building was breached during a Jan. 6 riot.

Hundreds of far-right demonstrators are expected in Washington for the "Justice For J6" rally, in support of the more than 600 people arrested on charges of joining the storming of the Capitol by Trump supporters in an attempt to stop certification of President Joe Biden's election victory.
....
Most members of Congress will be out of town on Saturday.

My understanding is that Fart is so terrified that he might be blamed if his nutcase supporters make a nuisance of themselves in Washington that he is claiming the entire thing is a hoax.

The timing of this letter is no accident.

Grift.
