"Leader" of Capitol insurrection reduced to begging supporters for donations while in hiding

He learned well from the master grifter, Donald J. Trump.

The authorities are coming for you, bucko, enjoy your last days of freedom looking over your shoulder.

Schumer and McConnell reportedly negotiating a power-sharing agreement in the Senate

This is according to Politico:

"Schumer (D-N.Y.) and McConnell (R-Ky.) are largely expected to run the Senate in a similar fashion to how former Senate leaders Trent Lott and Tom Daschle devised the last 50-50 blueprint in 2001. That allowed for committee memberships to be evenly split, with bills that receive tied votes advancing to the floor; the party controlling the White House would still set the Senate schedule and determine which legislation would get taken up"...

Rank-and-file senators were largely in the dark on how close — or far — the two leaders are from cutting a deal on all those critical items. Schumer said bluntly: “We’ve got three things we’ve got to do quickly, impeachment, nomination, Covid.”

In a Senate speech on Tuesday afternoon, McConnell said the "marching orders from the American people are clear. We're to have a robust discussion and seek common ground"...

In a letter to colleagues, McConnell indicated he wants a commitment from Schumer (D-N.Y.) to preserve the legislative filibuster as part of their agreement governing the rules of the 50-50 Senate. He said while he is taking his cues from the last split Senate in 2001, he also believes "we need to also address the threats to the legislative filibuster."

Defense officials warn of possible inside attack at inauguration; National Guard troops to be vetted

My god, this is so unsettling. I just want Wednesday to be over without incident. But that doesn't mean the threat will be gone. The Secret Service protecting Joe and Kamala are going to have to be on their toes every second of every day for the next for years. One slip up could be extremely costly in this environment.

Trump finishes with worst first term approval rating ever! MAGA!

https://twitter.com/JohnAvlon/status/1350647103425568769



A new Quinnipiac University poll finds that President Donald Trump's approval rating stands at 33%, while his disapproval is at 60%.

An average of recent polls finds Trump with a 38% approval rating and 59% disapproval rating.

A big question during the Trump presidency was whether anything could actually move the public opinion needle. It turns out that the insurrection at the US Capitol last week did exactly that.

The result is that Trump's final first term approval rating looks to be the lowest on record dating back since scientific polling began.
