“Et tu, Brute?”

Congress finally passed a $900 billion Covid-Relief bill, which went to the president’s desk for signing; the bill includes among many other things:  $600 payments for all qualifying adults & their children, unemployment insurance extension with $300 enhancements, a 30-day extended moratorium on evictions, monies for rental assistance and SNAP benefits (aka food stamps).   Also included is some monies for getting folks vaccinated.  Covid-19 virus is mutating in U.K. and other European countries; U.K. is shutdown to most travelers.   The Russians massively cyber-hacked & breached our federal agencies, such as Treasury, Homeland Security & U.S. Nuclear weapons agency.

Retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, former (fired) U.S. National Security Advisor, stated that Trump should definitely declare martial law and re-run the voting systems in the states Trump lost.  Rudy Giuliani, chief-enabler of presidential-fantasies, who charges $20,000 daily retainer fee for Trump legal work, called Homeland Security, insisting THEY  go to swing states & seize those voting machines.  Smartmatic’s election-tech vendor demanded retractions from right-wing media organizations for their lies regarding his machines, and some have walked-back their defaming-comments.  Trump’s previous coup-attempt failed in the courts and this ploy will fail also.  While Krazytown resident & clown-lawyer, Sidney Powell, has Trump’s ear, Giuliani declared that “she does not speak for the president”.  “Trump is lashing out & everyone is in the blast zone!”  Trump is turning on his VP, Chief-of-Staff,  lawyer Pat Cipollone and all other “disloyalists”, who won’t follow him off the cliff of declaring martial law, blocking Biden’s victory & refusing to leave the White House.  A military spokesperson announced, “the military is not the arbiter of elections”.   Pence must validate Biden’s victory, on the Senate floor, on Jan 6th; finally the “Et tu, Brute” moment will arrive!

SDNY has active federal investigations into Giuliani, and they want his electronic communications.  It’s reported that Giuliani received half a million dollars from Lev Parnas & Igor Fruman.  SDNY is also investigating Trump for several crimes.  We will see a wholesale-pardon-flurry soon as Trump pardons his entire family, his cohorts & himself.   Trump’s longtime banker resigned 12/22 from Deutsche Bank, which has had a ‘tricky Russian connection’ & has been fined for money-laundering in the past.  Meanwhile, the Trump administration has stepped-up executions & deportations.   WE WANT ‘HIM’ OUT!    House Speaker Pelosi said, “I’m counting down the hours til he’s gone.  I plan to pull him out of there by his hair, his little hands & his feet!”
