Congress:

"It's true members of Congress sometimes vote with their feet—they’ll retire if they think they’re going to lose. But as a historical indicator, the number of retirements is surprisingly unreliable."@NateSilver538 breaks down retirements before midterms: https://t.co/N3ZmXC4T85 pic.twitter.com/vplJ7at2El

Good god almighty!

This woman at the Trump rally believes this current version of Joe Biden is “fake,” and “the real Biden was assassinated at Gitmo in 2019.”

She also believes Michael Jackson, JFK, Jr., and Princess Diana will be at Trump’s upcoming inauguration because he helped them “escape.” pic.twitter.com/hfpXhMp6M9

Racist, misogynistic GQPer whitesplains and mansplains Biden’s unnamed SCOTUS pick:

ICYMI: President Biden plans to nominate a black woman to the Supreme Court. In response, Mississippi Senator Roger Wicker says the President's pick would be a 'beneficiary' of affirmative action.

And he gets pushback:

White House pushes back after Republican senator says Supreme Court pick will be ‘beneficiary’ of affirmative action

Spokesman says Biden has record of “extraordinarily qualified and groundbreaking nominees”

Even From Miss Lindsey:

"Put me in the camp of making sure the court and other institutions look like America," @LindseyGrahamSC rejects the notion that President Biden promise to nominate a black woman to the Supreme Court is affirmative action, as his colleague Sen. Roger Wicker had suggested. pic.twitter.com/KCU6cIFXf9

TFG:

The Orange Ass held a rally:

Trump: Can you believe what’s happening? You can’t get anything. The shelves are empty. I did a book. They can’t publish it anymore. They can’t get the paper, the glue, the ink. Go out and buy it. You’ll like it pic.twitter.com/O35BexWbbq

After ranting about the prosecutors investigating him, Trump calls the prosecutors racist and says if they do anything illegal, he hopes there are massive protests in DC, New York, and Atlanta pic.twitter.com/RnY6F5OJNv
— Acyn (@Acyn) January 30, 2022

Trump seems very worried about criminal prosecution, actually mentioning DC and Atlanta (aspects of the attempted election fraud, I assume) and NY (Trump Org). He seems to be inviting mob action against officers of the law if he turns out to be at legal risk. Pretty dangerous. https://t.co/TklrhaxTQX

Move on!

He’s asking AGs that are there to investigate Hillary Clinton? pic.twitter.com/7aodUcSvN1

This is some scary merda!

IMPORTANT: Watch carefully. He reads this entire rant directly off the teleprompter. He fully intended to threaten unrest if he is criminally charged. And others worked with him to deliver that message.

I’ve told you one of the things his MAGA base has been pissed about for a long time is he didn’t pardon the insurrectionists before leaving office. Instead, he sold them to white collar fraudsters and rapper drug traffickers. https://t.co/87zt87sqFT

.@GovChristie on hot mic incident: "The one that Joe Biden has always had on his side was he was seen as a kind person. What he's showing now is that frustration and that anger that came out there are making people wonder whether that's still true." https://t.co/KEccdUd91j pic.twitter.com/Gdr4k8l3wK
