I heard a scurrilous rumour that McDonalds is distancing themselves from the CFSG, changing their name to “McCaines”.
LOL! You can definitely tell the difference in his tone when he’s doing his ad lib “lock ‘em up” shtick and when he’s been advised to read something presidential and no fun (to him). I couldn’t bring myself to listen but good to know he had the flat “no fun” voice.
Just pray Pence isn’t Susan Collins furious.
brilliant, that
That last conversation between Pence and Trump must have turned mighty ugly. I’d love to have been a fly on the head in that room.
I hope so.
Pence had his family with him ( his wife, one of his daughters’ and her husband) at the Capitol when it was stormed, and they all heard the insurgents chanting “Where’s Mike Pence?”
Man, you tongue-kiss the man’s ass vigorously for 4 years straight, indulging his every perverse whim…and the second it gets too kinky and you pull back a little bit he sends a lynch mob after you and your family. I’d be a little perturbed, too.
Hopefully can’t get as much done, either.
I think the next in command takes over as “acting whatever” and would then be eligible to do a 25, but not expecting it to happen. They’re all still a bunch of gutless opportunists.
And on that note, he has no leverage. I guess he could write it on a napkin, lol.
They probably had to cut out all the parts where he starts rambling about how Biden should be arrested.
You’re taking “bugging a room” a bit too literally.
Yeah the rats are leaving the ship. They no longer have his twitter account to fear. He’s a tweetless tiger at this point.
Clearly the president is losing his grip on power (and reality). What remains to be seen is who fills that gargantuan vacuum, though it won’t surprise me if he makes a comeback amid a wave of nostalgia in a year or two.
Or get Angelica to:
You may have missed this:
Trump set Pence up as his scapegoat and then incited a mob and deliberately sent it at Pence and his family.

I’m reminded of that Bible verse about reaping what you sow …
Iraq has just issued an international arrest warrant for murder for Individual 1.
Isn’t the rule for the 25th that you need half of the primary department heads? If all but two of them quit, then, technically, can the 25th be invoked with only one of them?
How can you issues any sort of pardon unless you also state what crime the pardon is being issued for?
That would mean admitting crime or possible crime in the first place
…not if it’s an Eschrodinger’s crime.
The specific wording is “the principal officers of the executive departments”, which IMO could be construed to apply to an acting secretary, but IANASCJ.
Watched the hostage video a couple of times (I have nausea medication). His unseen wrists might as well have been handcuffed to the podium, for all the accordion-playing he wasn’t doing, but I noticed that every now and then he would gesticulate with his fingers to emphasize certain words or phrases. It struck me that it was an (unconscious?) signal that he was marking those words/phrases with caveats, much like he uses quotation marks for random words in his tweets. Or maybe I’m just reading into something that wasn’t there.
