Mcmahon’s Tiebreaking Homer Lifts Last-place Rockies Over Nl West-leading Dodgers 6-3

Trump and his allies signaled Sunday that they intend to call the shots in the Republican-led Senate, pushing the candidacy of Sen. Rick Scott (Florida) for GOP leader and demanding that Republicans allow Trump to make appointments to his administration and the courts without Senate approval. Via The Washington Post: Trump, who last year promised that he will be dictator “for Day One” of his presidency and has repeatedly expressed admiration for authoritarian leaders, insisted that the next Senate Republican leader make it possible for him to fast-track his nominations over any opposition. Writing on Truth Social on Sunday, Trump said: “Any Republican Senator seeking the coveted LEADERSHIP position in the United States Senate must agree to Recess Appointments (in the Senate!), without which we will not be able to get people confirmed in a timely manner.” In April 2020, frustrated with the Senate’s speed in confirming his nominees, then-President Trump threated to take the unprecedented step of unilaterally adjourning Congress to make recess appointments.

Conservative pundit George Will argued that President-elect Donald Trump would not appoint people who previously disagreed with him because he was both a "sore loser" and a "sore winner." During a Sunday panel discussion on NewsNation, host Chris Stirewalt noted that Trump had indicated he would not give jobs to former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley or former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo even though they had served in the former president's previous administration. "Interventionalist kind of Republicans, more hawkish Republicans are nervous," Stirewalt pointed out. "Well, it's easy to say that what we've learned is that he who was a sore loser in 2020 is a sore winner in 2024, settling scores with his own team," Will explained.

Once again, we can count on the useless Dana Bash to allow Republicans like Jim Jordan to spew lies with no pushback. Jordan made an appearance on Sunday's State of the Union on CNN, and was asked by Bash about Trump's threats to "prosecute Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Barack Obama, Liz Cheney, Nancy Pelosi, Adam Schiff, General Mark Milley, Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg, New York A.

"Helmets of the Fatherland," indeed. As the author of the prank noted later, "According to our legend, evil NATO troops are going to irradiate the Russian people. Our teachers must learn to resist this impact with simple means of protection, such as a tinfoil hat." Source: Moscow Times In the Voronezh region, teachers from seven schools, following a false order, organized the "Helmet of the Fatherland" campaign, during which they made and put on tinfoil hats - for "protection from the effects of NATO satellites." The author of the prank was Belarusian prankster Vladislav Bokhan, who sent out "orders" on behalf of "United Russia." Bokhan explained the gist of his joke on his YouTube show: "According to our legend, evil NATO troops are going to irradiate the Russian people.

Back in the pre-Trump-bare-election-win days (yep, ignore the usual b.s. from the corporate media, as I said on my livestream last week, there were a ton of votes left in California and by the time they're done Kamala may only lose by 1.5% or less of the popular vote) I put together this video, and I think it's even more relevant now.
