POWERLINE'S Week in Pictures asks "What else can go wrong in 2020?"

Now that you know, go see the rest.

I THOUGHT ESSENTIAL PEOPLE WERE TO BE VACCINATED FIRST: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez shares her experience with the COVID vaccine.

And with a Trump vaccine, no less....

HERE COME THE POTHOLES: 'Mayor Pete' nominated for Transportation Secretary.

AN OPEN LETTER TO GEORGIA SECRETARY OF STATE BRAD RAFFENSPERGER:

Mr. Raffensperger,

There is a Senate runoff election coming soon and I am very, very concerned that you're not front-and-center assuring Georgians (and all Americans, for that matter) that the election will be fair, honest, and transparent. I expect you to be out front, telling all of Georgia exactly how the absentee and mail-in ballots will be received, stored, safeguarded, and verified to be legal -- in all counties, in advance of and during counting. I want to be assured that there will be partisan poll watchers present at every counting location at every moment those stations are open.

So far I've been very disappointed.

Yes, you recounted the ballots after the Presidential election, but that was Kabuki theater and we all know it -- the horses had already left the barn before the doors were closed.

Yes, you told us that illegal voters will be identified and prosecuted, but to date I haven't seen or heard of a single prosecution.

Yes, you've told us your doing "a statewide review of signature match" to "help instill confidence in Georgia's absentee ballot system in future elections" but will it be in place on January 5th?

Given that track record, how can you assure me that the Senate runoff will be honest?

His office hasn't responded to earlier missives; I doubt he'll respond to this either.

YES! YES, YES, YES. It's high time elected officials forfeit their paychecks during lockdowns.

We have to forfeit ours; turnabout is fair play....

MAYBE THEY SHOULD TRY TEACHING INSTEAD. Bill de Blasio says mission is to 'redistribute wealth' in NYC school system.

Let's face it; the progressive Left is batshit crazy. They should be removed from any government office by any (legal) means possible and never ever be permitted to return.

INSANITY HAS TAKEN OVER THE LEFT: Pennsylvania health department issues safety tips for COVID-free orgies.

This from a man / woman / trans/ an it.

EXCELLENT QUESTION. If lockdowns work why is California a global COVID-19 hotspot?

Why don't you ask Gavin Newsom? He'll be - maskless - at the head of the table at the French Laundry restaurant in Napa Valley.

HELEN KELLER was just another privileged white person.

Perhaps Anita Camera should read this.

'Woke' is just a synonym for barking-at-the-moon crazy.

THE AIR FORCE introduces the first artifically intelligent copilot -- on a U-2 Dragon Lady. Prepping it, I suspect, for the RQ-4 Global Hawk.

RANDOM THOUGHT: On Twitter the URL [Uniform Resource Locator] is often longer and more informative than the tweet; it tells you more about the twit than does the tweet.

THE INMATES ARE TRULY RUNNING THE ASYLUM: Seattle waiting on judge’s decision on a lawsuit before clearing Cal Anderson Park. Read it and weep for America.

UPDATE: Finally the cleanup begins; and the anarchists simply move down the street.

I'M NOT SURE I LIKE THIS: I left New York for Florida in the 2020 pandemic and this is what happened to me. Be a Floridian or a New Yorker, but not both.

I'd rather not see Florida New York'd. But ... better Florida than Georgia where I live.

KURT SCHLICHTER: Pardon everyone.

Well, why not? In our political system the guilty will never get punished anyway....

GLENN [INSTAPUNDIT] REYNOLDS: It's time for the Deplorables to become the Unconquerables.

Mikhail Kutuzov, the Russian general who administered a crushing defeat to Napoleon, did so by realizing that as long as he kept his army intact, he didn’t have to win flashy victories. And he eventually ground Napoleon’s forces down to a nub. Likewise, so long as the ­Deplorables don’t give up in their opposition, they can’t really be ­defeated. By staying motivated, the Deplorables can become the Unconquerables.

"Every normal man must be tempted at times to spit upon his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats" said H.L. Mencken. Now is that time.
