Good morning everyone, and Happy Friday!

Excuse the really stupid title, please. It just seemed to work on a bunch of different levels for a fleeting moment. Night thread, etc.

Anywho, we have the rusty gears of democracy turning, the whistles blowing, the committees assembling. You could almost be forgiven for thinking you travelled back in time to 8:30am outside of a Pittsburgh steel mill.

With any luck, this somehow ends up with ol’ Trumpy getting tossed out of the White House onto his (t)rump, but we’re not quite there yet, and we have yet to see how far the GOP will go to destroy whatever shreds of dignity they have left defending their Orange Overlord.

Onward and leftward!
