Welcome to January halftime from the Twitterverse. I was planning to post a Twitter collation monthly but my bookmarks file is bulging already so I’ve decided to go bimonthly instead.

January Halftime features an eclectic collection. Most were bookmarked because they tickled the funny bone or elicited an “awwwww” from me. Some are more dramatic entries. Funday Furkids make several appearances because I couldn’t possibly leave them out! All are favourites for one reason or another. Enjoy.

Let’s open with a celebratory tweet from January 15 then move backwards in time.

Never heard of American Thinker before. Obviously it’s oxymoron since pro-Trumpers aren’t known for their thinking skills, or their patriotism for that matter.

In response to the vanishing vaccines…

A pillow salesman apparently has some ideas about declaring martial law

Lots of commentary on the historic second impeachment.

In response to republicans whose argument against impeachment was that Trump’s term was almost over…

Anyone heard from Melania lately?

They should not have been presented to the dummy student in the first place.

In response to the story that Trump admin advisors and staffers are being shunned by employers:

Meanwhile, those who were fired…

Not The Onion:

And Funday Furkids make their first appearance to lighten the mood!

Cat Dad problems in lockdown:

Vegetables…

and tricky spices:

From the Susan Collins School of Learning Lessons, here is the RNC:

Art:

Education:

We’re not too thrilled with any of the others in the Trump Administration either.

Well this snippet of information explains a lot. Is this common in Alabama by any chance? I’m thinking this may also be the case with the majority of Alabama voters…

Spelling Bee:

True, literally and figuratively, sometimes even in the way they died.

And one from my mate, Captain Shower Cap:

Remember the good news before January 6? We didn’t have long to celebrate it then but we’ll have two years to enjoy the effects.

And here are the winners…

…and the angels:

Now we’ve won the Senate, this is what Biden, Harris and a Democratic Congress will use their powers to bring to the American people:

As we crossed the threshold into 2021, this overview of 2020 was apt and accurate:

And Dr Jack Brown expressed what most of us felt.

It’s going to feel even better soon – roll on January 20, 2021!

  3. That tweet from “Taniel” regarding Ronna Romney McDaniel isn’t really all that new. I mean, when the RNC’s first Black chairman actually had a relatively decent election cycle, he got dumped. When Reince Preibus had a definite disaster of an election cycle, he got reelected to the chairmanship and then, when he had a second disaster of an election cycle, he got reelected yet again.

    Apparently, if you’re white and you lose Congressional seats, governorships, presidencies, state legislatures, etc, you get reelected to the post but if you’re Black and you actually see a few gains here and there, you’re out on your ass ASAP.

  4. I still have trouble wrapping my mind around that goober Connor Sheetz managing to taze himself in the nuts and killing himself. (Am I a bad person for admitting it’s so hard because I keep laughing when I think about it?) For anyone who’s not familiar with the Darwin Awards, it’s a website that was created to tell the stories of people who (usually fatally) did stupid things that removed them from the gene pool – as in unable to contaminate the human race by producing offspring. Like I said they usually got nominated because they wound up dying, but sometimes they survive their folly but lose their “family jewels” or at least render them non-functioning. Anyway, those who are cited as actual award winners are the ones who commit the most spectacularly stupid feats. THIS guy however, giving himself a heart attack and dying from it by tazing himself in the nuts during a failed insurrection will I think wind up under consideration for a lifetime (deathtime?) achievement award.

    • Unfortunately for the human race, he procreated before killing himself.

      Incidentally, the Darwin Awards predate the website. As I recall they’re part of the Darwin Society which has been around for yonks.

      • At least he can no longer contaminate the human race more than he already has. Tasers and pepper spray are dicey weapons for self-defense precisely because a single person being attacked, or trying to use one with a group of attackers (even a seditionous mob of pals) so often leads to getting the spray on yourself, getting the contact points of the taser pressed into you by your attacker or the crowd as you’re trying to press the button, etc. Cops work in pairs or teams, or they too can wind up on the wrong end of things. A kubitan is a much safer and more effective tool for self defense. As for this guy, I get that he self-tased himiself but in the BALLS? WTF? Not that I feel an ounce of sympathy for him (I don’t) but I still marvel at him managing to zap himself in the spot any male would most want to protect from injury!
