   He doesn't need the support of trump nutters for any future presidential bid (he must realise he is not going to get anywhere with that).

   Harris has to be sworn in on Jan 20 before Dems will have the majority. Just heard that Elaine Cho, who is Mitch'swife just resigned. That's either a sign they are going to go with the 25th or a sign against depending on which way you think Cho might have weighed in. Trust me Trump is weighing some even more crazy shit.

   "Trust me Trump is weighing some even more crazy shit". Great, thanks Bob - not only am I completely freaked outby B.1.1.7, now I'm worried about a war with Iran... :wink: (and I trust you have sources to make that statement...). There's no question he's gotta go - 100%.

   Off the record (although you can find them on GISAID) we now have two independent instances of E484K on top of the B.1.1.7 constellation

   This is trumps cabinet. It takes 8 to invoke the 25th unless another one resigns. Not sure that I see 8 sane names onthe list.
