Dems have been told to stay on the floor as a second vote will be held as soon as the failure in the first vote is made official by the clerk.
Johnson is not currently on the floor. Well, not the floor of the House, at least.
Johnson did some backroom dealing and got 2 votes switched prior to the first ballot being gaveled closed, which got him to 218 which is the bare minimum required to prevail. So, technically, he won on the first ballot.
Judge Merchan will sentence Trump for his 34 felonies on Jan 10. Trump has to attend, but can Zoom in if he prefers. Merchan has already indicated that there will not be a custodial element to the sentencing.
Trump is not formally a felon until sentenced. So while this may seem performative at this point, there is some legal weight to whatever punishment Merchan applies.
Apparently, Trump is angry that the flags will be at half staff on his Inauguration Day. Is there a more needy ego?
ETA: hereâs a quote of great irony:
âThe Democrats are all âgiddyâ about our magnificent American Flag potentially being at âhalf mastâ during my Inauguration,â Trump said, employing a term frequently used for the lowered position when the flag is on a ship.*
*âThey think itâs so great, and are so happy about it because, in actuality, they donât love our Country, they only think about themselves,â Trump said.â
There was a time when a Presidential inauguration was a celebration, as it was a manifestation of our democratic principles in action. A time for brass bands and waving the flagâŚdressing up. Sadly, those times are long gone.

Upper Class Twit of the Year. Youâve reached the final stage Donnie. Put on your watch, and sneakersâŚthen you know what to do. Win, Win, Win!
Just a reminder that the Senate was sworn in on Friday while the House was sucking up all the news.
That means that Kyrsten Sinema and Joe Manchin are no longer Senators.
Mitch McConnell is somehow still haunting the chambers.
Heâs got that shit locked-in.
So prior to the election, Musk cranked the anxiety to 11. Now that Trump is about to be sworn in, heâs going to suppress bad news.
Itâs so obvious and unsubtle that even MAGA is seeing through it.
Think of all the user seconds he saved by typing âF uâ

Good velo on that
âFactually distinguishable from the actual recordâ, Judge Merchan denies Trumpâs efforts to stave off sentencing on Friday. I donât know if that phrase is common legal parlance, but it should be framed and hung in a museum.
Giuliani has been held in contempt by a Trump-appointed judge in the settlement of the judgement against him in the election defamation case. Heâs been fucking around on this since Day #1, and the judge has had enough.
Rudy has been claiming that he registered as a resident of Florida prior to the judgement against him, meaning his Palm Beach condo would be subject to Floridaâs homestead protections. Giuliani has been pressed time and again by the court to prove this claim but has failed to do so.
The judge ran out of patience and has taken an âadverse inferenceâ from Giulianiâs continued failure to present the paperwork for his FL residency. He is going to go forward on the basis that such paperwork doesnât exist because, if it did, it wouldâve been presented already.
So Giuliani is going to lose his $3+ million FL condo and, given that he has zero money, further contempt issues could see him in jail.
Things to watch this week:
- Trump is begging Merrick Garland not to release Jack Smithâs reports on the two suspended prosecutions; and
- Trump is begging anyone who will listen to stop the sentencing for his 34 felony convictions on Friday.
Three days is an eon in TrumpWorld, so letâs see how these pan out.
