The $2000 check thing as opposed to the $1400 is pretty braindead. Not that people can’t think the govt should give even more relief (other countries have and do), but to pretend like 2600 is what was promised is disingenuous

Not the issue here.

I’m not sure where the 2000 thing comes from in the first place. What was wrong with the 1200 from before?

The problem is dems ran on 2k period. Not 1400 plus the shit Trump gave you. It looks bad when you have to backtrack on that and say oh no we meant 2000 including the 600 you got earlier from a previous admin.

i dont accept this premise. the issue at the time was 2000 vs 600. trump eventually passed the 600 version despite threatening to veto it, and house dems immediately passed the bill which would have amended the earlier version to replace all uses of 600 with 2000 and all uses of 1200 with 4000

Even Joe Manchin issued McConnell a warning shot today, and Schumer already said he’s not bending to this ridiculous demand.

This has potential to backfire for Cocaine Mitch. Manchin was a safe no vote against nuking the filibuster, and now McConnell is threatening to filibuster an ordinarily perfunctory rules package that’s needed for Manchin to become chair of the energy committee.

Biden unveils "wartime" COVID strategy

"It's gonna get worse before it gets better": President Biden expects 100,000 Americans to die from COVID-19 during his first 6 weeks in office.

The big picture: Biden said he's putting America on a wartime footing against the virus, signing 10 executive orders today.

The plan includes:

More supplies: Orders new supplies of PPE, testing materials and vaccines through the Defense Production Act.
More funding: Increases federal reimbursement for National Guard personnel and emergency supplies.
More masks: Requires on federal property and for people who are in airports and using many forms of transportation.
More data: Massive efforts for “real-time” federal data collection for schools, a public dashboard on cases, testing and vaccination, and hospital admissions.
More guidance: Mandates masks on planes and requires COVID tests before flying. Requires negative test for international travelers before departing for the U.S.
More help for schools: Orders the Department of Education and HHS to provide schools and local communities with resources to safely reopen schools.

Fox News’ Peter Doocy questioned the press secretary about the Biden family’s maskless moments during a Thursday briefing. Psaki said that the president had been "celebrating" a "historic day in our country." She said he’d been surrounded by family.

She said that the mask mandate had "sent a message" to the public about the importance of mask-wearing.

"We take a number of Covid precautions here, as you know," Psaki continued. "I don't know that I have more for you on it than that."

Doocy pointed to a phrase Biden coined in his Inaugural address about leading "not merely by the example of our power but by the power of our example."

"Was that a good example for people watching?" Doocy asked.

Democrats can “forget about unity” if they continue to push for an impeachment trial in the U.S. Senate of former President Donald Trump, ex-White House trade adviser Peter Navarro said Thursday.

“That’s gone, that’s off the table,” the 71-year-old Navarro, a Democrat turned Republican economist, said on the “War Room” podcast on Wednesday. “This will be a 50–50 country. The gap between us will be a chasm. There will be nothing but friction.”

If Biden is unable, or unwilling, to persuade Congressional Democrats “from backing down from trying to gut Donald J. Trump, forget about unity,” Navarro added.

Despite Biden’s weeks long call for “unity,” the Democratically controlled House of Representatives impeached Trump on Jan. 13 claiming that he incited an “insurrection” a week earlier by encouraging his supporters at a rally to march “peacefully” to the U.S. Capitol. Several hundred people breached the Capitol building while the Congress was debating certification of the Electoral College vote.

resident Joe Biden's proposed $1.9 trillion stimulus plan reportedly faces challenges from moderate Republicans in the Senate.

Sens. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, and Mitt Romney, R-Utah, expressed doubt about another stimulus package, especially one with such a steep price tag less than a month after Congress passed a $900 billion measure, per CNBC. Both senators were members of the bipartisan group that crafted December’s stimulus bill framework.

While GOP criticism had been expected, comments from Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., also signaled the bill will need to be edited to have a chance to pass. After originally shooting down a third stimulus entirely, Manchin said he prefers checks targeted for people who really need financial help. He also said the nation's infrastructure was a higher priority.

Biden began his term on Wednesday with Democrats holding a relatively small majority in the House and 50-50 Senate where Vice President Kamala Harris holds the tiebreaking vote.
A CNBC source said National Economic Council Director Brian Deese was scheduled to meet with a group of bipartisan senators to address concerns with the bill.

Expected to advocate Biden's original plan, Deese reportedly also will consider input from Republican members who could help pass the measure without the tedious budget reconciliation process that would allow it to get through with only Democrat votes.

Deese didn't immediately respond to a CNBC request for comment.

Meanwhile, the Democrat-held House could move to pass components of Biden's proposal as soon as the first week in February.

Representatives will work in committees throughout next week "so that we are completely ready to go to the floor" with a bill when the chamber returns next month, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said Thursday.

The cause of the demand shock and ensuing deflationary spiral was stay at home orders, an effort mainly borne by states and counties under federal advice last spring. Mass unemployment was caused by everybody trying to do the right thing and bend the curve.

Then we did the wrong thing and reopened too early to prevent the kind of uncontrolled, nationwide transmission we see now, the costs of which are ongoing, yesterday's new claims for UI was 900,000. The US's ineptitude in the face of COVID has surely enhanced the severity of the economic toll.

I think it's legit to hold Trump accountable for the mass death and morbidity for not being halfway competent/organized. For breaking our health care delivery system and endangering public health.

50-50 even with the VP does not give Dems control of the Senate when McConnell insists on having a dick measuring contest, Repugs won't give in on the filibuster, and Mountaineer Manchin wears his conservative underoos. This Senate ain't gonna get shit done no matter how much Biden calls for bipartisanship.
Right now McConnell is threatening to filibuster the simple establishment of an energy committee that Manchin chairs, which is politically stupid. Manchin has been raving about becoming the chair of the energy committee since the Dems took the majority, it’s like the one thing that he might be willing to nuke the filibuster over.

Sorry to keep arguing this, but why do you keep blaming Schumer? He clearly wants to do just that but members of his caucus aren’t cooperating.

You know id be right there with you if I thought an establishment Dem like Schumer was being soft with Republicans :lol, I’m just not sure what else he could do at this point.

Jim Crow Joe Manchin is either dumb or just doesn’t care. If he issued a statement saying “If McConnell doesn’t agree to the senate rules Schumer proposed by tomorrow, were nuking the filibuster to get them passed” then McConnell would cave an hour later.

You misread that post. I wasn’t giving Schumer a hard time. Just stating that he needs to put his foot down because these republicans are acting like bosses.

Had the Dems won seats they were projected to win like Iowa, NC and Maine, you'd have the clear majority and one could argue a mandate to do whatever you want legislatively. Honestly, had they won all those and blown up the filibuster, I wouldn't have been that salty about it.

It will be interesting to see if anything of substance actually gets done over the next two years. I could see both sides trying to hold the football and run out the clock hoping for a big 2022 Midterm. They are already going to drag out an impeachment on Trump that will accomplish nothing, which sorta leads me to believe that this is indeed their line of thinking. I think it's a mistake for the right, though, as we are at a disadvantage in the senate midterms this time around.

If they win those seats they probably don’t win the GA runoffs. At that point you wouldn’t need Manchin but you’d have no room for error beyond that.

Tbh if Democrats try to run out the clock for 2022, they might pick up senate seats because the map is favorable, but they’ll get shellacked in house races, at which point a senate majority only matters for judges. The Dems only path towards a good 2022 midterm election in both houses is nuking the filibuster and passing aggressive stimulus legislation so the economy recovers quickly. Schumer clearly knows this, Manchin either doesn’t know it or doesn’t care.

Chris Coons coming out in support of nuking the filibuster is huge though, there’s maybe 4 other Dems who defend it as much as he does. It’s likely down to Manchin Sinema and Feinstein, and the latter two will fold if Manchin does. I’ve always been confident Tester would fold, he’s one of the most underrated Dems in the senate.

Trump is lazy fatass, I wouldn’t be worried about him having the ambition to start his own political party :lol, bigger concern is if he sabotages well liked incumbents in their state like Rubio or Portman. Rubio has zero risk of losing to a Dem in 2022 but a retard like Matt Gaetz makes it a tougher race.

AZ would be very winnable for the GOP except the AZ Republican Party is off the rails crazy in a state that’s always liked more moderate Republicans more (the chair of the state party is a chemtrails nut :lol). Nevada is the better comparison for AZ than Colorado is imo.

Warnock will have an uphill battle if he’s running against a country club Republican but similar issue that AZ has the state GOP has gone full Trumptard despite having a huge suburban population it used to rely on to win elections.

If Jaime Harrison is serious about giong back to Howard Dean’s 50 state strategy and if the Dems don’t let McConnell obstruct, I think they pick up seats in both houses of Congress. The 2nd one is a big if, but I can already tell Harrison/Biden will handle midterms a lot better than Obummer/Wasserman Schultz did.

In the Dept of BigCorp, formerly known as Dept of Labor

On Day One, Biden took out a top anti-worker villain of the Trump era

getting rid of National Labor Relations Board general counsel Peter Robb.

On Inauguration Day, Biden requested Robb's resignation (https://thehill.com/regulation/labor/535094-biden-asks-for-resignation-of-nlrb-counsel-report#.YAikwyrkAAE.twitter), and

when Robb refused, Biden fired him (https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2021/01/20/biden-fires-nlrb-peter-robb/).

Robb had 10 months left in his term, but worker advocates felt—and Biden apparently agreed—that

the extreme anti-worker agenda he was bringing to the role was such that 10 months was way too long.

Big move for reproductive health:

Biden 'will be revoking the Mexico City Policy in the coming days'

Republican presidents since Ronald Reagan have applied the Mexico City policy, and Democratic ones have revoked it. But, as is so often the case, Donald Trump went further.

Trump’s version of the Mexico City policy applied not only to federal family planning money, but to all U.S. global health assistance.

That means it applied to as much as $10 billion in funding rather than to around $600 million.

Inflation pressures despite a weak economy and 10 million missing jobs.

It is interesting that these price pressures are happening even as the overall economy is not exactly booming, with GDP down 2.8% in Q3 compared to a year earlier,

while 10 million jobs have disappeared,

according to the BLS jobs report for December,

amid a suddenly weakening employment scenario since late last year:

https://wolfstreet.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/US-employment-nonfarm-2021-01-22-Employed-millions-household-establishment.png

Price pressures are now being reported across the economy.

While lamenting the further deterioration in their business, companies in the service sector –

the biggies are finance, insurance, healthcare, information services, and professional services –

in the district of the New York Fed also reported rising prices and wages,

as the Weirdest Economy Ever (https://wolfstreet.com/category/all/weirdest-economy-ever/) is playing out.

President Joe Biden saying he's working to unite the country should not be believed, according to political analyst Oliver North on Newsmax TV.

"His pitch for unity is phony," North told Greg Kelly on Friday’s ''Greg Kelly Reports.'' "He's failed to stop the Senate [impeachment] trial to convict [former president Donald] Trump. It shows a lack of leadership. It's going to doom him and the Democrats in the 2022 elections.

"Ultimately, we're going to get Republicans back in the House and the Senate in charge of doing things. Hey, give some credit to Trump for the COVID vaccine in record time. Give some effort to say something decent about the people for [Biden] to say he wants to do a hundred million vaccinations in his first hundred days. The Trump legacy is not to be embarrassed."

North, a retired Marine lieutenant colonel who also served on the National Security Council in the Reagan administration, expressed concern over several international threats facing Biden. They included China, the Israel-Arab situation, the Paris climate accord and immigration.

North also is the founder of Fidelis Publishing. He extended an offer to Trump officials and staffers who are being shunned by other publishers.

He said Fidelis offers a "counter attack on the cancel culture."

President Joe Biden saying he's working to unite the country should not be believed, according to political analyst Oliver North on Newsmax TV.For any one who might have missed Ollie North first time around in the mid '80s

https://www.washingtonpost.com/resizer/GwdKRYLeljozLeGdLU9avE4-JJM=/arc-anglerfish-washpost-prod-washpost/public/S2CCAIYRV42SVCKWDOEYISIZ5M.jpg

North came into the public spotlight as a result of his participation in the Iran–Contra affair (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran%E2%80%93Contra_affair), a political scandal during the Reagan administration, in which he claimed partial responsibility for the sale of weapons through intermediaries to Iran (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran), with the profits being channeled to the Contras (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contras) in Nicaragua. It was alleged that he was responsible for the establishment of a covert network which subsequently funneled those funds to the Contras.
Congress passed the Boland Amendment (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boland_Amendment) (to the House Appropriations Bill of 1982 and following years),[22] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oliver_North#cite_note-Webb_1999-22) which prohibited the appropriation of U.S. funds by intelligence agencies for the support of the Contras.

North solicited $10 million from the Sultan of Brunei (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sultan_of_Brunei) to skirt U.S. prohibitions on funding the Contras. However, he gave the wrong number of the Swiss bank account intended to launder the money, and it went instead to a Swiss businessman. A Senate committee investigating the transaction tracked it down so it could be returned to Brunei.[23] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oliver_North#cite_note-23)

In an August 23, 1986, e-mail to National Security Advisor (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Security_Advisor_(United_States)) John Poindexter (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Poindexter), North described a meeting with a representative of Panamanian General Manuel Noriega (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manuel_Noriega): "You will recall that over the years Manuel Noriega in Panama and I have developed a fairly good relationship," North writes before explaining Noriega's proposal. If U.S. officials can "help clean up his image" and lift the ban on arms sales to the Panamanian Defense Force, Noriega will "'take care of' the Sandinista (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandinista) leadership for us."[24] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oliver_North#cite_note-24)[25] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oliver_North#cite_note-25)

North told Poindexter that General Noriega could assist with sabotage against the ruling party of Nicaragua, the Sandinista National Liberation Front (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandinista_National_Liberation_Front). North supposedly suggested that Noriega be paid $1 million in cash from Project Democracy (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Endowment_for_Democracy) funds raised from the sale of U.S. arms to Iran for the Panamanian leader's help in destroying Nicaraguan economic installations.[26] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oliver_North#cite_note-26)

In November 1986, as the sale of weapons was made public, North was dismissed by President Ronald Reagan (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ronald_Reagan). In an interview with Cigar Aficionado (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cigar_Aficionado) magazine, North said that on February 11, 1987, the FBI detected an attack on North's family[27] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oliver_North#cite_note-27) from the Peoples Committee for Libyan Students, with an order to kill North. Although government officials later expressed skepticism of this claim,[28] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oliver_North#cite_note-WaPo1988Jul22-28) and no charges for this alleged plot were brought,[29] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oliver_North#cite_note-Time1988Aug01-29) his family was moved to Camp Lejeune (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marine_Corps_Base_Camp_Lejeune) in North Carolina (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Carolina) and lived with federal agents until North retired from the Marine Corps the following year.[30] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oliver_North#cite_note-30)[31] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oliver_North#cite_note-31)

In July 1987, North was summoned to testify before televised hearings of a joint congressional committee that was formed to investigate the Iran–Contra scandal. During the hearings, North admitted that he had misled Congress,[32] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oliver_North#cite_note-32) for which, along with other actions, he was later charged. He defended his actions by stating that he believed in the goal of aiding the Contras, whom he saw as freedom fighters (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_fighter) against the Sandinistas and said that he viewed the Iran–Contra scheme as a "neat idea."[33] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oliver_North#cite_note-perfect-33) North admitted shredding government documents related to these activities at William Casey (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Casey)'s suggestion when the Iran–Contra scandal became public. He also testified that Robert McFarlane (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_McFarlane) had asked him to alter official records to delete references to direct assistance to the Contras and that he had helped.[34] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oliver_North#cite_note-34)

North was indicted in March 1988 on 16 felony counts.[35] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oliver_North#cite_note-northindictment-35) His trial opened in February 1989,[36] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oliver_North#cite_note-northtrialopen1-36)[37] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oliver_North#cite_note-northtrialopen2-37) and on May 4, 1989, he was initially convicted of three: accepting an illegal gratuity, aiding and abetting in the obstruction of a congressional inquiry, and ordering the destruction of documents through his secretary, Fawn Hall (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fawn_Hall). He was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Gerhard Gesell (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerhard_Gesell) on July 5, 1989, to a three-year suspended prison term, two years probation, $150,000 in fines, and 1,200 hours of community service.[38] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oliver_North#cite_note-38) North performed some of his community service within Potomac Gardens (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potomac_Gardens), a public housing project in southeast Washington, DC.[39] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oliver_North#cite_note-39) However, on July 20, 1990, with the help of the American Civil Liberties Union (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Civil_Liberties_Union) (ACLU),[40] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oliver_North#cite_note-40) North's convictions were vacated, after the appeals court found that witnesses in his trial might have been impermissibly affected by his immunized congressional testimony.[41] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oliver_North#cite_note-41)

The individual members of the prosecution team had isolated themselves from news reports and discussion of North's testimony, and while the defense could show no specific instance in which North's congressional testimony was used in his trial, the Court of Appeals ruled that the trial judge had made an insufficient examination of the issue. Consequently, North's convictions were reversed. After further hearings on the immunity issue, Judge Gesell dismissed all charges against North on September 16, 1991.[42] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oliver_North#cite_note-42)

Daily Average of '100 Million Vaccines in 100 Days' Topped Repeatedly Under Trump

That literally makes no sense. :lol

President Joe Biden's goal to vaccinate 100 million people against COVID-19 in his first 100 days in office depends on an average achieved several times by the Trump administration.

Bloomberg News reported 1.3 million vaccines were given on Thursday, Biden's first full day in office.

However, a record-high 1.6 million immunizations were administered on Wednesday, the day Biden took office. The seven-figure mark also was reached with 1.3 million on Jan. 11 and with 1.1 million on both Jan. 14 and 16, per the New York Post.

While saying he and his team were focused on a "wartime effort," Biden and his top spokesperson repeatedly have been pressed by reporters about whether the vaccination target is too low.

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki was asked Friday why not aim higher since the past-week average before Trump left office was 912,497.

"We set that goal before any American had received a single shot," said Psaki, referring to the vaccination plan Biden announced in early December.

"So the incoming Biden administration felt it was important to set what was described as a bold and ambitious goal at the time, and many doubted we could even get there."

On Thursday, Biden expressed similar words after being asked if his goal were ambitious enough.

"When I announced it, you all said it's not possible," Biden said. "Come on, gimme a break, man! It’s a good start."

Those words came at the end of a briefing in which Biden announced his "full-scale wartime effort" to beat the pandemic by invoking the Defense Production Act, which aims to increase vaccine production and establish federally funded vaccination sites nationally.

Psaki on Friday also blamed the outgoing Trump administration for creating operational challenges.

"We want to set our own markers and markers for the American public so that they know we're meeting our goal," she said. "If we surpass [the 100-day goal], that’s great."

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said 17.5 million vaccines had been given out of 37.9 million distributed nationwide.

"Pay attention to what's going on," Carson told host Grant Stinchfield on Friday’s ''Stinchfield.'' "Remember what's happened over the last four years. How the economy just skyrocketed because of the policies, removing all of those regulations, letting people spend their own money, determine their own way.

"Those are the things that had a very, very rapid ameliorating effect on America."

Carson, the retired neurosurgeon turned 2016 presidential candidate, tweeted his thanks to former President Donald Trump on Wednesday for allowing him to serve in the administration.

Just two days later, Carson was asked how it felt to see much of the Trump administration's work being undone by Biden's executive orders.

"Well, there'll be a lot of things that will not be able to be torn apart and we need to concentrate on those," he said. "I hope people are paying very close attention because you see two very distinct philosophies on how things should be run.

"When this country was created, it was created as a place where there would be individual freedoms. Where you could live your life the way you wanted, you could believe what you wanted, you had religious freedom, as long as your rights didn't impinge upon the next person's rights."

Carson sounded as if he was counting on Americans to get turned off eventually by Democrats' polices

The state of New York lost 1 million jobs in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic, including 578,000 in New York City alone, according to a new state Labor Department report.

The job losses, which caused 10 percent of the state workforce to vanish, came after lockdowns, tourism drops, and tanking business activity, reports The New York Post. In New York City, the decline meant that 12 percent of jobs disappeared, marking the highest job loss in the state.

In the United States overall, 6% of jobs dropped, marking half the rate of New York City, which was the initial coronavirus epicenter last spring.

The economy has also stalled during the second COVID-19 surge, with New York State losing 37,200 jobs in December, compared to November of last year.

Most of New York City's job losses came from the restaurant, food services, and beverage industry. In December 2019, 324,500 people were employed in that sector, compared to 183,800 in December 2020.

The industry also lost 11,700 jobs in December compared to November after Gov. Andrew Cuomo reinstated the ban on indoor dining in New York City in an attempt to contain the second COVID-19 surge.

The hospitality sector, which includes hotels, arts, and entertainment, also dropped 366,000 jobs statewide, with many hotels and the Broadway theater district remaining shuttered.

According to Cuomo’s economic forecast, released as part of his new budget plan this week, the state will probably not recover all of its lost jobs until 2025.

Andrew Rigie, executive director of the NYC Hospitality Alliance, said restaurants and bars are essential to the city's "social and economic fabric" and the city is at a "crisis level like we've never experienced."

New York City restauranteurs also complain that indoor dining is banned in the city but is allowed elsewhere in the state if combined with social distancing restrictions.

“If New York City is to pull itself out of this economic grave and gain jobs, we must safely bring back regulated indoor dining like it’s permitted in the rest of New York State, and the Biden Administration and Congress must enact the RESTAURANTS Act stimulus plan very soon,” Rigie said.

The 277 Policies for Which Biden Need Not Ask Permission

As president, Joe Biden could take action on hundreds of policies without having to go through Congress.

Not all of the proposals are new ideas.

In fact, 48 are simply calls to roll back Trump-era policies,

or to reinstate Obama-era rules and committees that Trump ended or disbanded.

Any remotely competent Democrat ought to be able to implement these immediately, no matter what their particular policy vision.

Of those 48 Trump policies that the document calls to roll back, 28 are shifts in immigration policy.

The overrepresentation of immigration issues speaks to the extent and the horror of Trump and Stephen Miller’s xenophobic project.

Each of the six unity task forces proposed executive branch policies. From most to least, the issue areas were:

Immigration (79 policies)
Climate Change (56 policies)
The Economy (55 policies)
Education (39 policies)
Criminal Justice (36 policies)
Health Care (27 policies)

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., announced Friday that she will formally deliver the article of impeachment against Donald Trump to the Senate on Monday.

That will set into motion the unprecedent trial proceedings against the former president on a charge of incitement of insurrection over the January 6 deadly Capitol riot.

There was initial talk the trial might not take place for months. However, both Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, have agreed to beginning the Senate trial the week of February 8.

John Roberts, the chief justice of the United States, would normally preside over any Senate trial of the president.

But despite such niceties and trappings, a Senate trial would amount to more of a political sideshow than a legal proceeding.

Washington insiders say much of the effort is about Democratic revenge against Trump, and payback from establishment Republicans like McConnell. They never liked the outsider Trump and don't want to see him back in the White House come 2024.

Despite McConnell's effort to re-cast himself as an opponent of Trump's electoral challenge – "the mob was fed lies" – the record shows he strongly supported Trump's post-election voter efforts.

Shortly after the election, McConnell said from the Senate floor that Trump was "a hundred percent within his rights to look into allegations of irregularities and weigh his legal options."

McConnell added: "Let's not have any lectures about how the president should immediately, cheerfully accept preliminary election results from the same characters who just spent four years refusing to accept the validity of the last election."

In the end, McConnell refused to call Biden president-elect until December 15, and only spoke out against Trump in recent weeks.

Here's why:

1. The Impeachment itself was a sham.

A House impeachment is meant to be a deliberative process, one in which witnesses are heard and subjected to cross-examination, and the issues are fully debated, first in committee, then on the House floor.

What happened instead was what Rep. Ronny Jackson, R-Texas, called, "a stain on our nation."

Professor and constitutional law expert Alan Dershowitz was more specific. He told Newsmax TV that when the House voted to impeach, it "committed six independent violations of the Constitution."

Knowing they were immune from prosecution for anything they say or do on the House floor, House members "violated the free speech provision. They violated the impeachment criteria. They violated the bill of attainder. They violated due process, on and on and on."

In addition, the president was denied the fundamental Sixth Amendment right to counsel, which should void his impeachment altogether.

2. A trial violates the very purpose of impeachment.

A president or other federal official, is impeached for one reason alone — to remove this person from office.

In this case President Trump vacated his office on January 20. More than that, when the Joint Session of Congress certified the electoral vote on January 6, it gave the election to Joe Biden.

Article II Section 4 of the Constitution provides that "The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment" and a Senate conviction.

On that point William Jacobson, Cornell Law School professor of law, observed that "the premise of impeachment is that it is against someone who is the president, not someone who once was the president."

That view is shared by former federal appellate Judge J. Michael Luttig in a Washington Post article when he opined that a post-departure "Senate trial would be unconstitutional."

And imagine opening this Pandora's box. With the cancel culture, will there be demands that every president who served during slavery be removed?

3. Who presides over the Senate trial?

As mentioned earlier, the chief justice normally presides over the impeachment of the president.

However, Trump is no longer the president — he is a former president.

Politico reported that Chief Justice John Roberts may bow out this time in an effort to keep the court as apolitical as possible.

Although a Roberts spokesman declined to comment on the issue, another Hill source told the publication, "He wants no further part of this."

And in that event Vice President Kamala Harris may end up presiding, given that for impeachments other than the president, either the vice president or a senator serves as presiding officer. That would make the process totally political and unseemly — the current administration going after its predecessor.

4. A Senate trial is shaping up to be a kangaroo court.

Senate Republicans urged their Democratic colleagues to begin trial sometime in mid-February, in order to give the Trump legal defense team a chance to adequately prepare.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., rejected that suggestion and called for a speedy trial beginning February 8, adding that there will be "a full trial, it will be a fair trial."

Sen. Lindsey Graham, a South Carolina Republican, said that an impeachment trial on a president no longer in office would be unconstitutional. He added that he predicts victory even if the case is heard on the merits.

"On the facts, they'll be able to mount a defense, so the main thing is to give him a chance to prepare and run the trial orderly, and hopefully the Senate will reject the idea of pursuing presidents after they leave office," Graham said.

5. The evidence doesn't support the article of impeachment.

The impeachment article accuses President Trump of "willfully inciting violence against the Government of the United States" with a speech he delivered to supporters on January 6 "that encouraged — and foreseeably resulted in — imminent lawless action at the Capitol."

However the evidence simply doesn't support the article for at least three reasons.

First, the riot was apparently pre-planned: The president could not have incited something planned well-ahead by others without his involvement. There is clear evidence a crowd began building before Trump even spoke. And The Washington Times reported that "initial court documents show that at least two suspects arrived on or before Jan. 6 armed with explosives, tactical gear and caches of weapons. Facebook has come under fire for failing to remove "Stop the Steal" pages allegedly used by organizers weeks and even months ahead of the rally."

Second, Trump specifically called for peace: The president predicted that "I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard." He said of the unconvinced Republicans, "If they don't fight, we have to primary the hell out of the ones that don't fight. You primary them. We're going to let you know who they are."

Third, authorities failed to protect the Capitol with the most basic of security. Security of the Capitol is the responsibility of the Congress, not the president. On the very day of the riot, questions arose over the Capitol building's lack of security: "How did so many rioters get into this building from so many directions? How was it breached?" Rep. Karen Bass, a California Democrat and House Judiciary Committee member, told ABC News. "You saw people with ropes scaling the building. You [normally] can't even get into this building with a purse." Capitol security and police failed to do the most basic thing as the crowd moved toward the building: lock the doors!

6. A Senate trial would be a colossal waste of time.

Although the House can impeach on a simple majority vote, it takes a two-thirds vote of the Senate to convict. The Senate is currently divided evenly at 50 members each (with independent Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders caucusing with Democrats).

Even in the event the Democratic caucus holds firm to convict, and GOP Sens. Susan Collins of Maine, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Mitt Romney of Utah, and Ben Sasse of Nebraska also vote to convict, they would still be 13 votes shy of what would be needed to convict.

Accordingly, the trial would be just for show, with all the participants knowing full-well what the result would be.

This could very well be their undoing in the long run. Ballotpedia reported that as of January 21, the Congressional approval rating was 13%. Using its time for something that's doomed from the start, and a move that looks more like political payback rather than serious judicial action, may well send those dismal ratings further south.

7. A trial would further divide a very polarized country.

President Biden campaigned for "the soul of the nation," and frequently delivered a message of unity — of bringing the country together. And he mentioned it again during his inaugural address Wednesday.

"On this January day, my whole soul is in this, bringing America together, uniting our people, uniting our nation. And I asked every American to join me in this cause," Biden said. "With unity, we can do great things, important things."

Despite the media spin about Trump's electoral challenge and the riot, President Trump remains very popular, and Rasmussen reported this week that his approval rating rose to 51%. The Rasmussen poll was one of the most accurate polls of the 2020 election.

Continuing with a charade of an impeachment trial would only further divide the country, a fact not lost on the Rev. Franklin Graham.

In an open letter he posted on his Facebook page, Graham asked Biden to call the impeachment off for the good of the nation and in appreciation of the new president's "conciliatory words" that asked "both parties to work together."

"If the Democrats go ahead with pushing for the impeachment of a president who has left office, it would only further divide our nation," Graham wrote

Retired Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz railed against the scheduled impeachment trial of former President Donald Trump on Newsmax TV on Friday, calling it political theater and saying any conviction would be ''null and void.''

''If the Senate tries him, and convicts him, and disqualifies him, I believe it will be null and void, that it should be ignored,'' the 82-year-old Dershowitz said on ''Stinchfield.'' ''The Senate has no power to try and convict a private citizen, which is what Citizen Trump now is.

''They can go through the motions. It’s political theater. The reason I’m not participating in this directly is I’m neither a politician nor an actor. And so there is no role for me, as a real lawyer, as there was in the first impeachment.''

Dershowitz questioned how U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts could preside over the trial, who he says, according to the U.S. Constitution, presides over the impeachment trial of a president, which Trump isn’t anymore. He said Vice President Kamala Harris has a conflict of interest since she would be presiding over a trial that could potentially disqualify an opponent in the 2024 presidential election.

''The framers never intended a former president to be placed on trial,'' Dershowitz said. ''We are not a country that recriminates against people who have been defeated for office, unlike other countries in the world.''

Dershowitz also excoriated what Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said were ''hundreds of constitutional lawyers'' who he said have claimed that Dershowitz’s interpretation has been ''debunked, repudiated.''

''These are partisans who use the cover of scholarship to come to the conclusion they want to on partisan grounds,'' Dershowitz said. ''What they do is come to their conclusions first, based on partisan considerations, and then hide behind their pretended scholarship to try to come up with arguments that will justify their political conclusions. They should not be taken seriously.''

There isn’t a single Black woman on House Dems' leadership team. It’s not new.
Kamala Harris made history last week, but Black women in the House haven't held elected positions in leadership in more than four decades.

When Democratic Rep. Brenda Lawrence lost her leadership race by a single vote, she looked up the last time a Black woman was elected to sit at her party’s leadership table in the House.

She was stunned to learn it was Rep. Shirley Chisholm of New York — 44 years ago.

In the same year the U.S. elected its first Black woman to serve as vice president, the House Democratic Caucus once again elected a leadership team that didn’t include a single Black woman.

“When the vote is taken by our body, Black women don’t win,” Lawrence (D-Mich.) said in an interview. “I cannot comprehend how, for 40 years, a Black woman has never earned the collective majority vote of our caucus.”

In a caucus that frequently touts diversity as one of its core strengths, Black women have been repeatedly excluded from elected senior positions. And despite the country as a whole undergoing a reckoning over race in recent months, the current leadership team will remain in place for the next two years. It’s an issue several Democrats told POLITICO must be rectified, although no one has a clear idea on how to do that.

“I think it’s something that absolutely needs to be addressed,” said Rep. Karen Bass (D-Calif.) who just finished a two-year term as chair of the Congressional Black Caucus. “The caucus as a whole is sensitive to it now where I don’t know that they were a couple of terms ago.”

Here are the executive actions Biden will take this week (https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/535468-here-are-the-executive-actions-biden-will-take-this-week)

Here are the executive actions Biden will take this week
Joe Biden (https://www.thecoli.com/safari-reader://thehill.com/people/joe-biden) will spend the second week of his presidency in much the same way he spent his first: signing a slew of executive actions intended to roll back certain Trump administration policies while implementing his own.

Biden this week will focus on immigration, health care, climate and other areas, with each day following a designated theme. Here are the items Biden is expected to take action on, according to a memo obtained by The Hill.

Monday: ‘Buy American’ day

Biden is expected to sign an executive order that directs agencies to strengthen requirements so that they acquire goods and services from American businesses and workers.

During the campaign, Biden pledged to make a $400 billion investment during his first term in federal purchases of products made by American workers.

He additionally pledged to tighten loopholes and waivers that allowed federal agencies to buy products produced overseas, and to crack down on false advertising surrounding products that claimed to be made in the United States.

Former President Trump (https://www.thecoli.com/safari-reader://thehill.com/people/donald-trump) signed a buy-American-and-hire-American executive order during his first months in office, which aimed to boost domestic wages while restricting the flow of certain visa-holders.

Tuesday: ‘Equity’ day

Tuesday will see Biden sign a broad range of executive orders related to racial equity.

The president is likely to establish a policing commission and reinstate Obama-era rules on the transfer of military-style equipment to local law enforcement. He is also expected to sign an executive order directing the Department of Justice to improve prison conditions and begin to eliminate the use of private prisons.

Other executive actions lined up for Tuesday include a memorandum directing agencies to strengthen engagement with Native American tribes, a memo ordering the Department of Housing and Urban Development to promote equality in housing, and an order disavowing discrimination against the Asian American and Pacific Islander community.

The latter issue came to the forefront early in the coronavirus pandemic, when Asian Americans said they were harassed (https://thehill.com/homenews/news/518806-use-of-china-virus-led-to-spike-in-anti-asian-bias-study) because the virus originated in China.

Some of the executive actions Biden is likely to take Tuesday are still being finalized and could include additional measures around immigration and reversing a ban on transgender troops serving in the military.

A memo previewing Biden's expected actions for his first weeks in office also included tentative actions on voting rights and sentencing actions at the Department of Justice.

Wednesday: ‘Climate’ dayBiden will announce Wednesday plans for a U.S.-hosted leadership summit to take place on Earth Day as one of multiple actions aimed at addressing the climate crisis.

A memo outlining looming orders also signals Biden will sign an executive order that initiates a series of regulatory actions to "combat climate change domestically and elevates climate change as a national security priority," though it does not offer additional specifics.

The omnibus order will also reestablish the Presidential Council of Advisors on Science and Technology, as well as a memorandum urging agencies to make decisions based on available science and evidence.

Biden on his first day in office (https://thehill.com/policy/energy-environment/535114-biden-nixes-keystone-xl-permit-halts-arctic-refuge-leasing) recommitted the United States to the Paris Climate Agreement and signed an executive order revoking a key permit for the Keystone XL pipeline and halting oil and gas leasing at a wildlife refuge in Alaska.

Thursday: ‘Health Care’ day

Biden on Thursday will take the highly anticipated action among pro-choice advocates of rescinding the so-called Mexico City policy (https://thehill.com/policy/healthcare/535212-biden-to-rescind-controversial-abortion-rule-in-coming-days), which bans the use of U.S. funding for foreign organizations that provide or promote abortions.

The policy, described as a “global gag rule” by reproductive health advocates, was first instated by then-President Reagan, and has been repeatedly rescinded by Democratic presidents and reinstated by Republican presidents in the years since.

Biden will also order a review of the Trump administration’s controversial changes to the Title X family planning program, which required family planning providers participating in the program to stop providing or promoting abortions to remain eligible for funding.

The president is also slated to sign an executive order aimed at strengthening Medicaid and initiating an open enrollment period under the Affordable Care Act.

Trump frequently bragged about gutting the Affordable Care Act by rescinding the individual mandate, though Republicans were unable to fully repeal the law as promised.

Friday: ‘Immigration’ day

Biden will build on some of the immigration-related actions he took on his first day in office with a few additional executive orders to be signed on Friday.

The president, according to the memo obtained by The Hill, is likely to sign an order related to regional migration and border processing that will rescind Trump administration policies around the asylum system and direct the creation of strategies to address root causes of migration from Central America.

Biden will also sign an order establishing a task force to reunify migrant families separated during the Trump administration. Biden himself faced criticism during the Democratic primaries for the Obama administration's deportation policies, but the Trump administration implemented an official zero tolerance policy that led to the separation of thousands of migrant families.

The president will also sign an order directing an immediate review of the public charge rule "and other actions to remove barriers and restore trust in the legal immigration system, including improving the naturalization process."

A fourth order, establishing principles to guide the implementation of the Refugee Admission Program, is tentatively on the schedule for Friday but could be scrapped or changed, according to the memo.

Employees at Amazon donated more than $2 million to President Joe Biden's 2020 campaign and just a few hundred thousand to former President Donald Trump, Fox Business reports.

The Center for Responsive Politics released data that shows workers at Amazon last campaign season donated about $2.22 million to Biden, about $900K to the Democratic National Committee Services Corp., and about $800K to Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., who mounted an unsuccessful presidential bid.

Trump received just about $260,000 in donations from employees of Amazon, the only Republican to make the top 10 politicians to receive money from Amazon workers.

Biden also took in millions from employees of other major technology companies, including Alphabet, Facebook, Apple, and Microsoft, for a combined $12.3 million.
