Yet Trump continues to blast any Republican official of any level who doesn't fall into the lockstep of his ridiculous claim.  One has to wonder:

 

a)  will he can Barr?  I would be shocked, mind;  Barr's been incredibly staunch;  he's been Trump's total lapdog.  

b)  is Trump *trying* to fracture the Republican Party?  Or is it simply the Trump narcissism kicking in, and there's no thought at all to the consequences?  I'll grant that the latter has considerable support, but one can't ignore the possibility he *is* trying to do that, and attach most of it to him.

The Rachel Maddow Show yesterday was amusing.

 

She played a clip from a few months ago of the Governor of Arizona bragging that the president and VP were calling him so often that he gave them their own ringtone: Hail to the Chief.

 

In an amusing accident, the Governor chose to sign, while on TV, the documents certifying that Biden had won the election in his state.

 

As he's starting to sign the documents, you can hear "Hail to the Chief" starting to play from the phone in his suit pocket.

 

The Governor took his phone out of his pocket, glanced at the screen, silenced it, and placed it facedown on his desk then continued signing the documents.

 

Makes you wonder who was on the phone and what he was planning to say.

 

The clip is probably available somewhere on YouTube.

Sorry, you can't claim statements like that are a joke in the position you're in.  Heck, one of us trying to claim it on a board like this would be held accountable.  It's absolutely beyond the pale.

 

And apropos, there is this:

Since that clown works for Guiliani....

 

And Hannity is already suggesting Trump pardon himself, but hey, that was simply a matter of time.

Happy Holidays everyone!

 

The administration has scheduled 28 indoor events at the White House to celebrate the holidays.

Some changes have been made from previous years:

 

“This includes smaller guest lists, masks will be required and available, social distancing encouraged while on the White House grounds, and hand sanitizer stations throughout the State Floor,” said spokesperson, Stephanie Grisham. “Guests will enjoy food individually plated by chefs at plexiglass-protected food stations. All passed beverages will be covered. All service staff will wear masks and gloves to comply with food safety guidelines. Attending the parties will be a very personal choice.” 

 

But before Grisham even issued this statement, the mentioned safety guidelines had already been ignored. On Monday, a reception for volunteers who helped decorate the White House did not adhere to social distancing and many did not wear masks.
