In his Omicron remarks yesterday, President Biden had reasonably good things to say about his predecessor: "“Thanks to the prior administration and our scientific community, America is one of the first countries to get the vaccine.”

So this presented Trump with an existential dilemma. He went on Fox and said: “It is a little tough to be overly critical now because he just thanked us for the vaccine and thanked me for what I did,” Trump said. “You know, that’s a first — so it is very tough for me to be overly critical now.”

Just another example of how there’s just a transaction meter where his ethics should be. You praise me, you’re good. You criticize me, you’re bad.

It happened. Pictures of Trump (when he was in the hospital with Covid), apparently signing a blank sheet of paper:

And re: Biden praises Trump for expedited vaccine development; Trump praises Biden for praising Trump:

To be fair, that cut both ways. Biden praising Trump there was just a transaction intended to soften some of the Trumpist anti-vax hostility, in the hope of luring some of them to relent and get their vax. I hope it works. If it helps any anti-vaxers to reconsider and get their shot, it’s all good. (Blech.)

Can anyone estimate the number of hours that he has spent practicing his signature?

Personally I can’t count that high, but imagine it’s literally years of his life, and innumerable sheets of paper.

More like McConnell pissing me off on this one (because he’s the one doing the judge-appointing)…

Sulzberger, said in a statement on Friday. “In defiance of law settled in the Pentagon Papers case, this judge has barred The Times from publishing information about a prominent and influential organization that was obtained legally in the ordinary course of reporting.” Mr. Sulzberger said Justice Wood’s order that the company return the documents had “no apparent precedent” and “could present obvious risks to exposing sources.”

And hopefully next time around a partisan hack judge won’t be presiding.
