Yeah I think it looks a lot better than the [current one](https://www.google.com/search?q=airforce+1&tbm=isch&chips=q:airforce+1,g_1:plane:b0ELZQ4aIg8%3D&client=firefox-b-1-e&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjEyeafrq7tAhVFHd8KHZu5D5gQ4lYoAHoECAEQGQ&biw=1612&bih=970). I agree that the baby blue just doesn’t work. No I have to go scrub myself with Brillo pads to get off the stink of agreeing with Trump. ---

Georgia election supervisor calling out Individual 1 and Republican Senators for letting Georgia officials to get death threats. He’s furious. (I also love the sign language interpreter).

What are the chances that Trump botches his own pardon? He doesn’t appear to be getting the best legal advice. Would he just try shot-gunning pardons, using all sorts of differt legal language, hoping one sticks in court? ---

Lest you think William Barr has even a modicum of honor because he has enough a grip on reality to conclude there wasn’t widespread voting fraud, don’t. He’s now appointed John Durham as special counsel to investigate the investigation into Russia tampering with the 2016 election. Durham has had 18 months to investigate, but apparently hasn’t found anything actionable so far. ---
