The Breakfast Club (Democratic Journey)
Welcome to The Breakfast Club! We’re a disorganized group of rebel lefties who hang out and chat if and when we’re not too hungover we’ve been bailed out we’re not too exhausted from last night’s (CENSORED) the caffeine kicks in. Join us every weekday morning at 9am (ET) and weekend morning at 10:00am (ET) (or whenever we get around to it) to talk about current news and our boring lives and to make fun of LaEscapee! If we are ever running late, it’s PhilJD’s fault.
There are two and a half days to the Inauguration of the 46th President of the United States Joseph R Biden, Jr. and Vice President Kamala Harris.
This Day in History

Rant of the Week: Amber Ruffin – Black Heroes
Last week, a video went viral of Capitol police office Eugene Goodman being chased up the stairs by a crowd of pro-Trump rioters during the attack on the U.S. Capitol. Goodman knew that the floor of the Senate Chamber had not been secured yet, so he *intentionally* provoked the rioters into chasing him and then led them away from the chamber, giving senators time to evacuate safely. Let’s give a round of applause to this hero in a new segment called, “Hero of the Week!”

Late Night Today
The Late Show with Stephen Colbert is the only late night host with a new show on Friday nights.
Our disgraced, twice-impeached president is said to be planning to slink off to his Florida estate without attending Joe Biden’s inauguration, leaving in his wake untold numbers of angry, conspiracy-fueled supporters still bent on causing destruction in his name.
Quarantinewhile… As our host long ago predicted, 2021 has become the year of the Sea Shanty, particularly on TikTok where the old-timey songs about sailors and their travels are taking over the platform.

How much power is there in a horsepower, where does the term come from, and how did it become the most common way of talking about the power of a car engine? In fact the history of horsepower begins in the 18th century, and with a man whose name has become synonymous with a measurement of power – James Watt. It is history that deserves to be remembered.

Late Night Today
Late Night Today is for those folks who can’t resist the call of an early bedtime but still need a good chuckle and some satirical perspective to end their day.
The Late Show with Stephen Colbert:
The impeachment really got the portraits jumping out of their frames
President-elect Biden won’t be taking his beloved Amtrak train to his inauguration next week because of the clear and present threat posed by violent extremists inspired by the outgoing president.
The Daily Show with Trevor Noah:
Kens, Karens, and Roseanne. Here’s a look at discrimination in America.
late Night with Seth Meyers:
Seth takes a closer look at a twice-impeached Trump turning against some of his closest allies as his White House gets packed up.
Jimmy Kimmel Live:
Moving trucks showed up outside the White House marking the current administration’s final week in office, Trump reportedly did not want to denounce the violence following last week’s attacks, Rudy Giuliani is on the outs and Trump is insisting on personally approving reimbursements for his travel expenses, Lindsey Graham is fighting back against the House’s impeachment ruling, new Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene has plans to impeach Joe Biden before he even starts, major corporations have been releasing statements condemning violence in Washington after a can of Axe Body Spray was found at the site of the invasion, and this week in Unnecessary Censorship.
The Late, Late Show with James Corden:
James Corden kicks off the show excited to share he’s going somewhat off the grid with a new, old cell phone (no email, web, keyboard) — and the gang takes bets on how long he will last with it. And James dives into the headlines, including reports that an isolated and angry President Donald Trump is cutting lawyer Rudy Giuliani out of the picture, Donld Trump Jr. and girlfriend Kimberly Guilfoyle moving to Florida and Dodger Stadium becoming a massive COVID-19 vaccination site.
