"The next time we elect a president,

for God's sake can we do a background check? "- David Letterman

Funny line but David forgets Trump admitted to being a sexual predator on every TV in America and at least 20 women had accused him of inappropriate behavior.
And endless requests for his tax returns were ignored.
Multiple bankruptcies failed to impugn his claim of financial acumen.
Trump settled numerous federal charges of red lining , discrimination and flat out fraud. Trump University anyone?

Let's be honest, the GOP knew what they were selling and way too many voters knew what they were buying. A pox on all their houses.

Wouldn't a non-specific Trump self-pardon, upheld by SCOTUS,

have the effect of crowning Joe Biden king ? It puts him above the law, plain and simple.
In fact, as an example, couldn't JB round up every member of the Trump gang and throw them in Guantanamo with the lame excuse "some people were saying" they took military secrets with them and would otherwise sell them to our enemies. Doesn't have to be true because JB would be outside the justice system. Trump caged innocent children who posed far less of a threat to our national security.

Is Trump really thinking through his abuse of the pardon power of POTUS, it could bite him on the ass?

Same deal with Trump resigning, "POTUS for a day' Pence granting him a non-specific pardon. If that's allowed to stand and Pence and then Harris are complicit, JB is effectively a king.

We really gotta tighten up some of the mechanics of our constitution.We're heading for a cliff and I believe even Trump will apply the brakes but then again I thought HRC would be elected.

I'm curious?

Does SCOTUS and staff mask up at work? Do they even meet these days or are they "zooming"?

This story spurred immediate comparison to Trump's assault

on the election results......


"Nov 18, 2020
For 15 years, Sweden thought they were hearing Russian submarines invading their territory. They regularly investigated, sending subs, boats, and helicopters at great expense, only to come up empty-handed.

Upon investigation by a biologist, it turned out to be herring farts."

Memo to progressives in the DC area

I'd be much obliged if y'all turned out HUGE for JB's Inauguration for comparative photo images.

Pound this point home to the electorate

"One month before Election Day, the country struggles to find reliable information about whether the president is even healthy enough to be reelected or fully capable of running the government."


" Intelligencer asked the senior White House official how the country could trust others serving in the White House to be truthful about the status of their own health when carelessness and secrecy have so far been the COVID status quo.
The senior White House official said, “I can’t.”

GOP tried to make HRC's health a huge issue in 2016, Dems are being handed this at the perfect time. Ignore the optics and embrace the REALITY!

Parscale to a mental hospital?

So if he decides to testify that a Trump was complicit in a crime, his testimony is that of a deranged witness? Suspicious?

"Stand back and stand by."

Sounds like Trump has coined a new campaign slogan?

Congressional subpoenas of trump's taxes

have been successfully rebuffed to date. I'd bet a subpoena of the NYT would not be rebuffed or refused for the returns they have?
