What happened on January 6th?
It did snarl traffic, but a lot less bear spray and Confederate flags. Of course, it is January 6th. It is the day that traditionally we now pretend that we knew was a big deal in terms of certifying the elections.
But...
Be honest. Before that insurrection, you had no idea. You had no idea there was a January 6th ceremony or what it did or why it did. Now you just got to act like, oh, yes, the reading of the election. So important. But let's get to it. It always begins with the traditional children's procession where they bring in boxes filled with the cremated remains of their dead pets. And then they dump them, all the ashes, on the speaker's desk. And then the speaker blows on the dust until the name of the president-elect is conjured in the mist. America is a wondrous land. But it's good to see them bringing in the boxes there. Nice to know that democracy now has pallbearers. So, so trenchant. Of course, the ultimate indignity of this January 6th is that Donald Trump's opponent, Kamala Harris, because she is the vice president, serves as the master of ceremonies to this... Really, you are a very reactive and sad group. The empathy is off the charts with this group. Kamala Harris has to be the master of ceremonies. But it does suck.
The votes for President of the United States are as follows. Donald J. Trump of the state of Florida has received 312 votes. Kamala D. Harris... That's got to sting.
She's like, um, I can hear you. God damn. It's like attending your own funeral. And even the mourners are like, woohoo! I can't imagine anything that would be more uncomfortable than standing there while the crowd applauds your opponent.
Kamala D. Harris of the state of California has received 226 votes. Wait, hold on.
That sounded louder. There's a lot of joy in that room. I think she could still win this thing. She just needs to find like 130,000 votes in Georgia. And then, you know, tell me Michigan, Pennsylvania, maybe Wisconsin, maybe nice to flip North Carolina. But ultimately, the certification ceremony that we all look forward to every four years since I was little. went off without a hitch. Because it's amazing how smoothly our democracy can work when you don't act like a little bitch when you lose. Not naming names. Just saying. But it was lovely to begin this new political year on a peaceful and calm note. Because the actual new year was really quite rougher. You know, the hopeful dreams of a peaceful new year filled with love and camaraderie of people in Times Square holding in their pee for 12 hours and shattered by a terrorist attack at 3.15 a.m. in New Orleans.
The attack was sudden and horrific and sent law enforcement scrambling to find the perpetrators and viewers scrambling to find out if the perpetrators once found would validate or invalidate their previously held political viewpoints.
We are hearing local reports that the suspect has been named as Shamsud Din Jabbar, which would indicate Middle Eastern descent. Oh, would it?
You don't believe he's of the Mayflower Din Jabbars? The Connecticut Din Jabbars? I'm going over to the country club today. We're going to play around with Din Jabbar.
So, .1 MAGA. The FBI confirming that an ISIS flag was located in that Ford F-150 pickup truck when the attack occurred. ISIS flag, that's 2-0 MAGA. It's best of five.
Papa needs a brand new reason to deport everybody.
