Gracenote - the company formerly known as CDDB - which helped you label tracks as you ripped them from your CDs... - Mop Jan 6, 11:12
There is teargas now. Yay? -- nm - Beryllium Jan 6, 11:06 14
- How about green slime fron that nickleodeon show -- nm - eag Jan 6, 11:08 1
  - x -- nm - prayformojo Jan 7, 05:18
- THis is hysterical. They never expected taht cops would push back. Their entire world has collapsed. -- nm - loosilu Jan 6, 11:07 11
  - Shoot a few. - Will Hunting Jan 6, 11:09 10
    - To your IM - because they're white. Period. nm - Johnny Lawrence Jan 6, 11:11 9
      - And also, I'm sure a decent number of the cops are PB anyway. -- nm - Shaun Jan 6, 11:14
      - In addition to that, apparently they are ridiculously easy to disperse. They're totally clueless. They've never had to be situationallyl aware before. - loosilu Jan 6, 11:13
      - If it was BLM, we would have had tanks parked there shooting.. (NM) - Marlowe Jan 6, 11:13 5
        
        I think they probably do have gear parked around the corner. These guys brought firearms (which is illegal in DC). -- nm - loosilu Jan 6, 11:14
        
        Sadly, this is true. -- nm - David Jan 6, 11:14
        
        yep. And where is the effing National Guard since the Capitol Steps have been breached? -- nm - Diva Jan 6, 11:13 2
        
        They have been activated, I don't know if they are staged anywhere. -- nm - loosilu Jan 6, 11:14 1
        
        yes, I posted they were activated. Just wondering where they are right now. -- nm - Diva Jan 6, 11:15
      - yep. -- nm - Diva Jan 6, 11:12
Freshman U.S. Rep. Haley Stevens (D- Michigan) tweets that she is "sheltering in place in her office". -- (link) - budice Jan 6, 11:00 7
- Freshman Rep Nancy Mace (R - South Carolina) tweets that she had to evacuate her office. -- (link) - budice Jan 6, 11:04 6
  - Why aren't they in the joint session? -- nm - spamlet Jan 6, 11:11 1
    - That's what I was wondering (hairsplit: Not currently a joint session). -- nm - loosilu Jan 6, 11:12
  - It was a stroke of genius for counterprotesters to stay away. It gave the PB nowhere to focus their rage. -- nm - loosilu Jan 6, 11:08 3
    - Except for the Capitol building -- nm - eag Jan 6, 11:09 2
      - YOu can't get close enough to do any damage. They're fighting the cops. -- nm - loosilu Jan 6, 11:11 1
        
        Did Trump finally finish his Deh Fuhere speech im working so im only going by what ST is seeing -- nm - eag Jan 6, 11:14
Cruz hasn't learned anything since that time he shut down the government. -- nm - David Jan 6, 10:56 5
- It's cool imagery to be disputing an election while actual riots are happening. Cool cool cool. -- nm - Reagen Jan 6, 11:11 1
  - I remember when they asked Republicans why they didn't vote for him, the most popular response was too dishonest. -- nm - David Jan 6, 11:13
- I'm watching the House, but the current R is screeching too loud. Is Senate better? -- nm - loosilu Jan 6, 10:56 2
  - Klobuchar is up now. She's doing a very good job. -- nm - Diva Jan 6, 11:00 1
    - Thanks. -- nm - loosilu Jan 6, 11:05
Cruz can go eat a dick. -- nm - Diva Jan 6, 10:51 4
- Trump bashes his family and he's still polishing the knob -- nm - budice Jan 6, 10:58
- He can eat ALL the dicks. nm - Johnny Lawrence Jan 6, 10:54 1
  - And the objection is only for the states his Dom lost. -- nm - Johnny Lawrence Jan 6, 10:54
- Not it! -- nm - TWuG Jan 6, 10:53
Belief is not evidence, Ted, so shut your traitorous mouth you limp dicked lickspittle -- nm - TWuG Jan 6, 10:51
I've had no success with Texas Workforce. I received no return message from my state rep. My fed rep's site mentions specifically she can only help... -- (edited) - Qale Jan 6, 10:42 1
- send me your address - mud Jan 6, 10:53
LOOK AT THAT FACE -- (link) - ty97 Jan 6, 10:41
Oh - so we're going to the "we're better then the Dems" argument? The same motherfucker that allowed the Supreme Court justice to be confirmed. nm - Johnny Lawrence Jan 6, 10:38 2
- Senate Minority Leader-Elect -- nm - budice Jan 6, 10:41
- It’s all he has -- nm - mara Jan 6, 10:40
Mitch sounds like he's on the verge of tears. -- (link) - mud Jan 6, 10:35 14
- He is still a slime. But that was a good (and necessary) speech -- nm - Fuzzy Jan 6, 10:56
- Are his hands curling in on themselves and soon he will shrivel to a dense dustball of nothingness? -- nm - JaxSean Jan 6, 10:42
- He's moved into strong both sidesism so he can suck it. He is, has been, always be an ass. -- nm - TWuG Jan 6, 10:39 2
  - Absolutely. -- nm - pmb Jan 6, 10:45
  - this -- nm - Diva Jan 6, 10:44
- “if we overrule them it will damage our democracy forever.” -- (link) - mud Jan 6, 10:36 8
  - I'd say I'm impressed that he's standing up for democracy, but the truth is he knows there's no further straws to grasp and is just trying to cover his ass. -- nm* - Mop Jan 6, 10:48
  - Says the guy who preannounced the fix was in on an impeachment trial. -- nm - Max Jan 6, 10:37
  - I'm deeply bothered that he is actually making sense and I mostly agree with what he's saying -- nm - oblique Jan 6, 10:37 5
    - i am just thankful that at this very very very very late date he is doing the right thing (i mean, it shouldn't be a question, but it is.) -- nm - Andie Jan 6, 10:37 4
      - It’s only because he believes it will be in his long term interests to do so. If he thought it would work he would do it in a heartbeat. -- nm - pmb Jan 6, 10:39 3
        
        I actually think it's like Barr. Even Mitch has some lines he won't cross. His ego prevented him from accepting this scenario as realistic. -- nm - David Jan 6, 11:03 1
        
        That I’m not at all convinced of. His lines are simply the ones that he think might come back to bite him. I see no basis for believing he has - pmb Jan 6, 11:08
        
        Yup. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Jan 6, 10:42
Whoa. Elon Musk is close to overtaking Jeff Bezos as the richest man in the world -- (link) - decline Jan 6, 10:32
My brother tells me that the lockdown in Quebec has most stores shut down as well. - Mop Jan 6, 10:31 7
- We set a new record today, after setting a new record yesterday. 31 and 27 respectively. -- nm - Shaun Jan 6, 10:40 1
  - I've heard rumours we might go red soon... -- nm - Beaker Jan 6, 11:09
- The numbers in ON and QC are very very bad :( Still, I'm surprised that curbside pickup is affected. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 6, 10:39 2
  - It's bonkers. They're going to all these extremes and people are still getting sick. Get your shit together, people. STAY. THE. FUCK. HOME. -- nm - Mop Jan 6, 10:50 1
    - People are still getting together. I just read a really interesting article about the news non-english speakers get and how it doesn't address the - Andie Jan 6, 10:52
- Pretty much it yes -- nm - Guigue Jan 6, 10:37
- It's been like that in Ontario for two months. -- nm - Andie Jan 6, 10:34

  - You're not suggesting movies have lied to me, are you? -- nm - spamlet Jan 6, 11:14
- The county refuse collector here built the worlds largest collection of classic cars...has two museums, one downtown, the other in a nunnery -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 6, 10:47
- That's commercial. The bins discussed on B2 are residential and that's city run sanitation. A different kind of corruption. -- nm* - Krusty - Diamond Dog Jan 6, 10:29
This 61 year old who just died of covid is the former brother in law of one of my best friends. it's a horrible story. -- (link*) - Andie Jan 6, 10:26

eek -- (link) - mud Jan 6, 10:23 36
- jeebus -- (link) - decline Jan 6, 10:29 29
  - Where are our unmarked federal police forces when we need them? -- nm - Mop Jan 6, 10:39 3
    - If only law enforcement agencies knew there was going to be an angry mob in DC today... (NM) - Marlowe Jan 6, 10:56
    - Most of them were contractors, so I'd guess ... rushing the capital. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 6, 10:40 1
      - (Oh, that should be spelled capitol, shouldn't it?) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 6, 10:41
  - "police can't stop them" Bull fucking shit. Start shooting them with rubber bullets. They'll fuck off pretty quickly. -- nm - Shaun Jan 6, 10:39 4
    - Those are only for black protestors. -- nm - pmb Jan 6, 10:41 1
      - This -- nm - JaxSean Jan 6, 10:54
    - Fixed it: "police can't stop them" Bull fucking shit. Start shooting them. They'll fuck off pretty quickly." - Beaker Jan 6, 10:41
    - Right. A pretty good case can be made for "Why isn't this crowd being dealt with in the same way as when you cleared out the park for Trump's walk?" -- nm - Volnelk Jan 6, 10:41
  - Does any of this vindicate Jovian yet? or do they have to get inside for it to count? -- nm - Max Jan 6, 10:36 15
    - Jovian thought the coup would work, so no. -- nm - David Jan 6, 11:02 7
      - and that elections would be cancelled, judges would throw things out, etc etc -- nm - Reagen Jan 6, 11:08 6
        
        I love the guy, but his tinfoil hat wasn't the greatest look. -- nm - David Jan 6, 11:12 5
        
        Don't gaslight this. -- (link) - Max Jan 6, 11:14 [Backboard] 4
        
        What are the things that are happening that we said wouldn't happen? -- nm - Reagen Jan 6, 11:20 3
        
        So everyone was in agreement that a coup was happening? -- nm - Max Jan 6, 11:24 2
        
        We were in agreement that Trump was going to challenge a loss by multiple means, and that he was likely to encourage violence. - Reagen Jan 6, 11:27 1
        
        Right. It's whether it would work that was always the debate. Everyone here knows what 45 is. -- nm - David Jan 6, 11:50
    - Nice. -- nm - Qale Jan 6, 10:52
    - I have been vindicated 100 times over! -- nm - Bark Multiverse Jan 6, 10:45
    - I'm not sure anyone disputed the existence of crazy, violent Trump supporters. -- nm - Reagen Jan 6, 10:40 2
      - At Trump's spurring. To his credit there may be a bigger crowd at the Capitol now than at his inauguration. -- nm - Max Jan 6, 10:42 1
        
        Will this change anything will it keep Trump in power? - eag Jan 6, 10:54
    - It's only sedition if it comes from the Sedité region of France, otherwise it's just sparkling fascism. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 6, 10:37 1
      - [snork] -- nm - mud Jan 6, 10:39
  - I mean, at this point this becomes a physical attempt to overthrow a government, so these people should all be sent to Guantanamo, no? (NM) - Marlowe Jan 6, 10:35 1
    - i mean, yes. they won't, but they should. -- nm - Andie Jan 6, 10:36
  - crazy. -- nm - Andie Jan 6, 10:34
  - losers -- nm - mud Jan 6, 10:32
- In his bunker, Pootin is LOVING this. (NM) - Marlowe Jan 6, 10:26 3
  - Trump's the best purchase Putin ever made. -- nm - David Jan 6, 10:59
  - Trump too -- nm - mara Jan 6, 10:37
  - ayup. -- nm - mud Jan 6, 10:31

I don't have any details yet but Cuomo is good to go on legalizing weed in NY. -- (link) - Krusty - Diamond Dog Jan 6, 10:20 8
- Man, I would so be high in Central Park. Or the Cloisters. -- nm - con_carne Jan 6, 10:32

    - Lol. Maybe try thinking of a new business like my state does literally all the time. -- nm* - con_carne Jan 6, 10:35
    - One of VA's new laws this year is a restriction on casino table games, which surprised me as the opposite direction I thought states were going. -- nm - Max Jan 6, 10:28
    - Having it legal in 20 states and not the rest is weird to me. It's worse than it just being Vegas. Just go all the way. -- nm - Volnelk Jan 6, 10:25
    - Yup. I'm not a fan of gambling in general but if that's what people want to do with their money that's their prerogative. Hopefully we also invest - Krusty - Diamond Dog Jan 6, 10:24
Fuzzy, Schumer will get to decide when votes are scheduled, so he can coordinate with the VP's office on timing -- nm* - ty97 Jan 6, 10:20
I believe only three states are going to be objected to, though. -- nm - mara Jan 6, 10:17 5
- 2 Hour Time Limit per objection. Both House and Senate must agree with objection to be valid(majority vote) -- nm* - budice Jan 6, 10:20 4
  - What happens if they were to agree (they won't, but pretend). Are the electors replaced? Ignored? What? -- nm - ty97 Jan 6, 10:22 2
    - I don’t know if anyone really knows. -- nm - mara Jan 6, 10:28 1
      - This. There are even questions about whether the Electoral College Act itself is constitutional. Best explanation I've seen lately was from ... -- (link) - ReluctantCynic Jan 6, 10:36
  - I'm guessing Nancy and Mitch had conversations on how to deal with these idiots -- nm - eag Jan 6, 10:22
And now, he is gone. Amy saw on FB. - Spawn Jan 6, 10:16 33
- I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm glad that your father isn't in pain anymore. Please try to focus on that. It helped me get through. -- nm - David Jan 6, 10:58
