Q NOTES 274: Countdown, Day 38

Sunday was a crappy day with gloomy skies, cold wind gusts and a few spells of heavy rain. I was trapped in the house by the weather, and there wasn't much news worth writing about. Today, even though it's Monday, is starting out as the opposite of yesterday. The weather is beautiful: chilly, with blue skies, plenty of sunshine, and very little wind. It was excellent weather for an early three-mile walk, and there are good things happening in the news.

In Wisconsin, the conservative state supreme court threw out Cheez Doodle's last-minute appeal, which was heard on Saturday. One of the four right-wingers teamed up with the three liberals to make it a 4-3 majority against Cheezy.

Elsewhere, the Electoral College voting is underway, with Joe & Kamala headed for an official victory. Cheez Doodle and his lunatic loyalists will still be pretending to overturn the (D) victory with a variety of dog-and-pony shows that qualify as public nuisances, but unfortunately aren't illegal. Stephen Miller, the current counterpart of Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels, has been on TV discussing the alternate electors who will give Cheez Doodle victories in all those swing states Biden won in the real world.

I have a feeling Cheezy will start losing enthusiasm for this game he's playing if the money stops pouring in. As stupid as his dim bulb followers are, they may still be sending donations after the inauguration on 20 January, which will encourage his deluded fantasies. 

Update 4:56 PM: In breaking news, Billy (Booger) Barr has resigned as AG. Did he jump, or was he pushed? It won't matter in 38 days. 

Texas Rep. Dan Crenshaw (that guy with the pirate eye patch) is the kind of jack-off that can win an election in most districts in Texas. He's been getting attention in right-wing circles since he's presumed to potentially have national appeal. Dan just released a self-promotional video in which he acts out a lot of heroic crap he saw in Sly Stallone and Tom Cruise movies that were made when they were much younger. I stumbled onto it yesterday, and watched as much as I could stomach. I doubt Crenshaw realizes that this much self-glorification makes him the ridiculous asshole of the week.
