> [@TroutMan](#): > > Here’s a tough transition question - how long does Biden let the White House “air out” before moving in? And I’m only halfway joking. Can you imagine how COVID-ridden that place is? What are the odds that a few COVID-positive Republicans purposely lick the doorknobs and cough everywhere before their departure? My theory has long been that Trump will have someone create a false-flag “attack” on the White House that results in its destruction by fire or explosion or both—as a means of covering up his wholesale theft of all items of value in said facility. If that’s how it goes down, there will be no need of fumigation. There will be nothing to fumigate. ---

I keep having visceral flashes of the courtyard where Nicolae and Elena Ceaușescu were executed. Not advocating for it, and don’t want to see my country go this way. Just a bit of traumatic memory.

I’m equally sure there is a portrait of him in an attic somewhere that gets prettier by the day. To the extent the word “pretty” can be applied here, which is not at all. Who am I kidding? Both the portrait and the actual face just get uglier. ---
