A POEM FOR THE END by Sheila Dershowitz
Good night loon,
Good night goon,
Good night nastiest man in the room.
Good night lies,
Good night spies,
Good night rants and alibis.
Good night twitter,
Good night tweets.
Good night all those crazy bleats.
Good night red hats,
Good night cruel chants,
Good night sniveling syncophants.

Good night evil nasty fuckers.
Good night Ivanka
Good night Jared,
Good night Barron, we hardly knew ya.
Good night thief,
Good night grief,
Good night cruel and callous chief.
Good night fake news,
And Fox and friends,
This is how the nightmare ends.
Good night at last.
It’s time to go,
The American people told you so.
I thought I'd find some other creative celebrations, but maybe people are just too worn out.
The right-wing desperate look-at-me stylings of Anthime Joseph “Tim” Gionet, also known to some as Baked Alaska, have been known around these here parts for years. Gionet is a never-ending source of embarrassment to himself and others, with incident after incident of cruel and aggressive and always bad behavior—frequently criminal—recorded (usually) by Gionet himself for his social media live feeds.
With the U. S. on high alert for right-wing terrorism and more U. S. soldiers in Washington, D. C. than in Afghanistan and Iraq, combined, Sen. Josh Hawley – the same MAGA mind who helped incite the armed insurrection at the Capitol on January 6 with lies – would rather delay the Department of Homeland Security from getting a secretary ASAP because nominee Alejandro Mayorkas is too kind to brown people for Hawley's taste.
CNN correspondent Manu Raju explained that to fast-track the nominee, all 100 senators have to agree to a quick vote.

Parting cheap shot: "Ahistorical 1776 Report Issued by Trump Denounced as 'Racist Garbage' and 'Most On-Brand Thing Possible'
"Releasing the 1776 Commission report on MLK Day is the Trump administration reaffirming its commitment to racism above all else." Common Dreams.
Former Fox News host Shepard Smith blasted his former employer and their hosts for spreading misinformation and ejected the truth for opinion based on lies during an interview with Christiane Amanpour.
Smith said he stuck around as long as he could on Fox News so that another opinion person couldn't replace him, but then it became too much and he left.
Smith, as we've meticulously documented over the years on C&L was a vocal proponent for the truth and was constantly at odds with the Trump administration and his surrogates.
