I talk about Biden's sadly DOA immigration bill and some of the really good stuff in it, the Facebook - Australia story, Ted Cruz's ill fated Cabo trip, Cuomo lying about the number of grandmas and grandpas that dies of COVID in NY nursing homes, my bewilderment at political parties hitching themselves to jackasses, and few other bits 

TL;DL - everything is kinda horrible and broken but hey we might be getting some sweet at home COVID tests and another vaccine on the US market.  

Well January sure turned out to be a weird month no? This past week capped it off with the rise of meme investing, preparing for impeachment 2.0, and a Texas court blocking Biden's 100 day deportation moratorium.  A heads up - I'll be announcing in the next week changes to my Patreon and Substack accounts going forward, keep an eye out

The Trump administration is officially over and the Biden administration is gearing up; from the executive orders Biden issued on Day One we get a glimpse into his policy priorities.   Plus, we have an impending impeachment trial and the possible formation of a Trump based political party.

The past week brought us Trump's second impeachment, details on the upcoming inauguration, and details on just how stupid (or overly confident) the Capitol rioters were.   I also discuss the upcoming battle over the next stimulus bill and how jamming a $15 minimum wage requirement in it might have poison pilled it.   Don't forget to subscribe to my Substack jenmonroue.substack.com

I don't know if this will go down as the week the GOP finally died but after losing Georgia, a riot in the Capitol building, and their leading losing his social media platforms it is on life support

Good news -- it's 2021! Bad news -- January is going to be a hell of a month   We've got a fight over if Congress will approve additional direct stimulus finds (no), a vaccine rollout that's not going so great (eh), the first shot fired in the Vaccine War (yikes), and a last ditch phone call from to get the results of the Georgia election altered (oh boy)   Next week -- the Georgia Senate runoff and the Congressional approval of the Electoral College vote.

The last full week of 2020 is officially over! This stupid dumb year is almost over!   We still have insanely high unemployment and no COVID relief package but we do have another vaccine on the horizon.   We also still have Trump and his swampy pardons, plus an unexplained RV explosion in Nashville

In the past week -Barr handed in his resignation -FDA approved Moderna's vaccine for EUA -FDA also approved a completely at home rapid COVID test kit -the federal government kinda botched the Pfizer vaccine rollout -we learned that (probably) Russian state sponsored hackers gained access to federal computer systems and has been rooting around in them since the spring

Bad news - unemployment has once again skyrocketed and the FTC wants to break up Facebook   Good news - the 2020 election legal odyssey has ended and the first batch of Pfizer vaccine is officially in distribution
