On a different note, getting a SF Giants Season Ticket holder “Spring Training Games Presale.” During a winter where owners have locked out players. COVID aside, what are the odds there will even be Spring Training games?

If GOP feels so strongly about the 60 vote threshold seems reasonable they should cheerfully rescind their 2017 Millionaire/Billionaire Tax Cuts… which McConnell set aside the filibuster to pass 51-48.

Today Oklahoma Senator James Lankford went off on a tangent claiming we are all united on some things, including love for Betty White. And he moves into an anti-abortion and anti Roe v. Wade rant.
Dear Senator Lankford – the late great Betty White was pro-choice.

Supreme Court rejected Former Guy’s attempt to block his administration’s records from being handed over to Jan 6 Committee. They’re showing as much loyalty to man who installed them on SCOTUS as he has shown to all those who helped him become President. Karma’s a b*tch.

Cory Booker bringing facts – “You want to know what’s going on in Georgia. Dwindling polling places in diverse areas, w/ some voters in predominantly black areas waiting up to 10 hours..giving up a day’s salary. It’s a modern day poll tax.” (White people don’t wait to vote.)

Dear fellow Democrats. We can’t primary Sinema until 2024. We CAN defend Mark Kelly’s Senate seat in 2022. And get him and good Democrats help in the Senate.
Val Demings in Florida would be a fine start.
