Many of the media's talking heads are arguing that there's no point in pursuing any of this if it wouldn't change the outcome of the election. Which, if we had more time to compose our thoughts and were 100% sober, we'd try to describe as something other than complete bullshit. But that's what it is.

Whine Bar
To show that there is a fresh wind in Washington, perhaps because president-suspect Biden blows, the announcement has come that Gropin' Joe's proposed communication team is comprised entirely of women, which the media assures us is absolutely great, important, historic news because... um... well... vaginas!
Mind you, President Trump already has a large number of women in high level communication positions, but they don't count because they're professionals first and women second. Not so with the incoming team, who will proudly place a lower priority on being logical than gynecological. And although this means that we'll likely never know what the hell a Biden administration is thinking, we'll definitely hear a lot about how it's feeling.
Of course, the communication team shouldn't get too settled in, as we have a strong premonition that the nature of their job will be changing in the near future...
It's a good thing that we can count on this being a fair and honest election, right? Or...will it be as much of a wildly corrupt clusterfudge as the general election a few weeks ago? We've got a pretty good idea, based on this post from our own John the Econ...
My friends subscribe to the USPS's "informed delivery" service which sends you an email with pictures of the mail you can expect to find in your mailbox later in the day. They got a bit of a surprise yesterday when their informed delivery email included no fewer than three applications for absentee ballots that they did not request. And even bigger surprise arrived later when they received all of the mail described in their email except the aforementioned absentee ballot applications.
I wonder who will be voted for on those 3 ballots.
Related to that (and to our increasingly splitting headache) officials in Georgia have announced that they've already received more than 940,000 absentee ballot requests, although they weren't quite clear on whether or not they were all requested by Stacey Abrams.

I've Got A Fraud In My Throat
The more detailed information we get on the recent election returns, the more impossible it becomes to believe that Joe Biden managed to "win" against all statistical precedent unless a long, long list of election improprieties was actually vote fraud on a massive scale.
Trump is still making legal challenges, but seemingly without much help from the DOJ or the FBI. Let alone the media, which suddenly has no curiosity whatsoever about how the literally impossible happened in swing state after swing state after counting was suddenly stopped and observers removed, following which there was a literally unbelievable surge for Joe Biden when new "votes" started appearing by the truckload and counting resumed, unobserved, in the dark of night.
As we've said here before, we will never accept Biden as president, nor believe that this was a fair and uncompromised election. We can only hope that somehow Trump prevails in the courts. Otherwise, Democracy is as dead as last Thursday's turkey carcass.
In the meanwhile, Biden is still play-acting at being the president-elect...

BACK(DOOR) TO THE FUTURE
First things first: before anyone gets the vapors, you should know that you're looking at the hole in a cake donut in the cartoon above. And our sincere apologies to anyone who was eating a cake donut while reading this.
But pastry aside, that doesn't make Barack Obama any less of a talking asshole. While pushing his 27th autobiography, he's now spouting endless lies and revisions of recent history which give us a throbbing headache the like of which we haven't had in four years. For him to accuse Trump of putting (ahem) "undocumented workers" in "cages" that Obama himself built raises hypocrisy to an almost metaphysical level.
Barry also accused President Trump of saying "bad things, racial things, about Hispanics" (which isn't true) before himself going on a diatribe about how Hispanics gave Trump a lot of votes because they're homophobes and misogynists who don't give a sweet fiddly-damn about human rights. Which raises an interesting question: why is Biden's top priority in these plague-ridden times to give amnesty and citizenship to 11 million of these apparently dreadful people?
LAST BUT DEFINITELY NOT LEAST
There will be paper hats, party horns, and cheap champagne (Alma brut) today in the Jarlsberg household as we celebrate Mrs. J's birthday! We keep such celebrations small, even when the four horsemen of the apocalypse aren't restricting the number of diners in 5-star restaurants with strolling violin players. But that makes the day no less special, and we hope you'll join us in wishing the ever-wonderful Mrs. J a very Happy Birthday indeed!
