Nov. 11 - Pfizer and BioNTech announce preliminary Phase 3 clinical data of 90% efficacy.

Nov. 11 - The Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation announces that preliminary Phase 3 clinical data for Sputnik V demonstrates 92% efficacy.

Nov. 16 - Moderna announces initial Phase 3 clinical data of 94.5% efficacy.

Nov. 18 - Pfizer/BioNTech announce final Phase 3 clinical data of 95% efficacy.

(no later than) Nov. 20 - Russia to announce that Sputnik V shows 98.2% efficacy

I'm wrong on the date for the Sputnik announcement.

But yesterday the org behind the Russian vaccine said that it would be cheaper than Pfizer or Moderna's.

So there's that kind of oneupmanship.

It's one thing to spin doctor for the public. It's quite another to go to prison for perjury. Who wants to do that?

Sidney Powell just got a 12-hour Twitter "timeout", according to her lone remaining legal client, traitor General Michael Flynn.

Amy Covid Barrett just turned down Trump's lawyers' Pennsylvania appeal to the Supreme Court shadow docket.

Cue Trump's indignant "stabbed in teh back!" rhetoric.

Looking increasingly grim for Cheato Benito's court-ordered second term.

Janet Yellen as treasury secretary. It's almost like Biden thinks actual competent people should run departments.

I love how Biden's cabinet is so diverse, rather than grabbing a bunch of filthy rich "yes men".

So refreshing to have a real President again.

Laura Ingraham delivers the bitter news to Wingnut Nation today. A rare moment where reality intrudes upon the comforting embrace of the Fox Distortion Cocoon.

It's been so...long...since I've seen a real Cabinet filled with...c-c-competent people...

50M Americans are expected to travel for Thanksgiving between today and Sunday.

That's a 10% decline over the same time period in 2019.

COVID-19 what?

Flynn appears to have been pardoned.

Guess he has the goods Trump doesn't want out.

I can't wait until January 20th, 2021. Feels so far away. Maybe he would have a massive coronary between now and then.

WATCH: Neo-Nazi begs man to stop filming after he gets caught putting up swastika stickers

A man from the San Francisco area confronted an individual for placing swastika stickers around town and captured the confrontation in a video that has since gone viral, SFGate reports.

Noah Mohan was walking his dog when he noticed the man placing the stickers featuring the swastika with the phrase, “We are everywhere.” That’s when he took out his cellphone and began recording, asking the man to show his face. When the man refused, Mohan told him that he shouldn’t have a problem showing his face if he truly stood by his ideology.

As the man continued posting the stickers, Mohan followed him and ripped them down.
“Not in my city,” Mohan said.
The man repeatedly asked Mohan to stop recording his actions.

“If you stop filming me, I will leave right now,” the man said. He later added, “I just want to let you not film me because I don’t want to get my family caught up in this.”

“F*ck your family,” Mohan responded. “Your family should teach you better.”

SF Nazi is a wimpy Nazi.

Thank you @AndrewYang for
running an issue focused
campaign and working to
bring new voters into the
political process. I look
forward to working together
to defeat the corruption and
bigotry of Donald Trump

6:14 PM - 11 Feb 2020

(It took so many, to get Joe Biden there.)

Darn it. I just found a couple thousand Biden votes in my car that I forgot
to drive Arizona and hand off to the Dominion agents there.
And I’d worked so hard with my sharpie on them!

It's like Trump never grew up.
"You cheated!" is a child's cry
after losing at Candyland.

Only 50 days now. I like the idea of a massive coronary though, but a CVA like a certain "disabled veteran" here would not be out of the realm of "early Christmas presents" either.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell told reporters he's talking to
administration officials about a separate coronavirus bill that President
Trump will sign.

How much of the $500 billion is going to Trump's ultra-wealthy cronies ?
Which subsidiary of a mega-corporation will be handed cash, meant for laborers ?

Evidently the scope of Flynn's pardon is breathtaking. It absolves him of virtually any/all federal crime on the books. Commentators mention that not even Richard Nixon's pardon was this extensive.

There’s a new way to spell “Karen” — C-A-R-O-N-E.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2020/12/03/melissa-carone-michigan-trump-giuliani-election/

Weeks after Melissa Carone was tapped by the Trump campaign as a star witness in Michigan, little appeared to be going as planned with the contract IT worker’s testimony — an unverified series of claims about ballot fraud at Detroit’s vote-counting center.

In interviews with conservative-leaning media last month, her offbeat tale suggesting ballots were being smuggled inside food vans seemed to baffle even Fox Business host Lou Dobbs. Two days later, a Wayne County judge ruled that her allegations “simply are not credible.”

Yet, there she was in front of a Michigan House panel on Wednesday, dressing down a Republican lawmaker as she loudly insisted, without proof, that tens of thousands of votes had been counted twice.

The President's lead counsel, his finest lawyer, his elite force kraken,
is equal parts sweat, melting hair dye, and flatulence. I believe the Republic
is safe.
