I’m looking forward to hearing from a professional press secretary. Or even a professional president aided by a professional press team. It must be a challenge for even an actual professional press person to have to front for a totally unprofessional boss who is unable to focus on anything and unab...

This CNN "Cabinet picks" page seems to be regularly updated. So a good point of reference.

https://edition.cnn.com/2020/11/24/poli ... index.html

Some of the individual picks have been posted on other threads especially the Trump interference threads.

I thought this was a good one because it suggests movement towards the goal.

Just ran across this. Any truth to it? The interesting part of starting impeachment proceedings today.....the one real restriction on presidential pardons is they cannot pardon someone for a crime which leads to impeachment. So if they vote to impeach him today, even if he resigns, Pence will not b...

Isn't there a thread for Members of Congress Behaving Badly? Don't suppose there's only one.

Couldn't you write it the other way round, so that it doesn't appear to be retroactive? 1) With effect from the ratification of this amendment, no President may self-pardon. 2) With effect from the ratification of this amendment, no criminal indictment, conviction or sentence shall be deemed void or...

Count down clock is down there. This one is more like a scoreboard. Just until we hear from Orly L.

Joe Biden will be president in one scaramucci. :-D One scaramucci is one too long. If T**** appoints any new staff from now on, that appointment will last less then 1 scaramucci, and will therefore define a new unit of time rendering the scaramucci redundant. At that time we will say that Joe Biden...

Actually it's "Blaire" according to her own handle, we need Orly L back to put the thread name right.

Wolf Blitzer is worried about LDIT 's mental health without his tweeting ability. "He has been more unstable in recent days in any case".

Good point.

I'd be on board with that. And while we're amending the Constitution, let's require candidates running for President and Vice President to make public their financial and tax information, as well as their medical histories, so we can decide whether they're fit to hold office. Let's require Presiden...

Constitutional question. A pardon (self pardon in this case) has no effect on State crimes only federal crimes. What is the status of crimes against the laws of D.C. which isn't a state? If D.C. charged rioters with some offenses, disorder, weapons, curfew etc, and "others" of inciting the...

Isn't that Deutsche Bank? They will want to solve that problem quickly once he loses his status.

There was a lot of talk that he was likely to launch Trump TV (sorry I mean trump tv). Then around the time FOX was insisting that Biden was President-elect and T fans turned against FOX, CNN interviewed an executive from Newsmax TV. To open, the interviewer suggested to him that T was going to set ...

Also: Biden has selected Lisa Monaco, a former homeland security adviser in the Obama administration who has become a close aide to Biden, to be the deputy attorney general, according to a person familiar with the decision. The President-elect has selected Vanita Gupta, who served as principal deput...

Official Schedule President Trump will work from early in the morning until late in the evening. He will make many calls and have many meetings. The President will depart for the Ellipse at 10:50AM to deliver remarks at a Save America Rally. The White House 9:00 AM Pool Call Time 10:50 AM The Presi...

Aaand CNN too.
President-elect Joe Biden announced he will be nominating Judge Merrick Garland to serve as the United States attorney general.

Sen. Klobuchar reacts to Judge Merrick Garland nomination

"... take on the FBI, the Intelligence Community".
Isn't that TREASON?

And, also, Impotus is providing a very clear bit of evidence that he considers service to (his idea of) the Repub party as = service to the country.

cheated a bit this time, I knew I could be around at the historic moment, I set the alarm clock ;) Biden Inauguration Timer flash 16.jpg ps. no - I will not hang around to capture all of those timer transitions :-D But the 17 17 17 17 one was extra significant because 17 is the Qth letter of the al...

I'd have been more impressed if Raffensberger had just said "Mr. President, you're incorrect, and we have nothing more to discuss." And then disconnected the call. You wouldn't have been impressed, because if that had happened, the call would not have been 'released' /leaked then widely r...

Court orders all witnesses to be disclosed by 1-5-2021 by both parties. Deft heard on post-conviction relief pending appeal. ADA heard - requests to continue w/jury trial. Parties to be in courtroom this courtroom at 8:15 am on day of trial and will go to Mariner for jury selection . Court heard - ...

On Petula Clark: My daughter, who obviously never heard of Petula Clark, read to me the update about "Downtown" being played by the RV, and pronounced "Petula" like the first part of "petulant". Took me a second or two to figure out what she was trying to say. I have N...

If you've never come across that name before, and see it written, "Petula" (or "Kamala" for anther example), it's quite likely you would not know the preferred way to pronounce it. I was quite little when "Downtown" came out and I seem to recall the DJs were not certain...

I'll give him a pass on the $75,000 requirement, since elsewhere he claims damages of $500k . But c'mon dude, it's called DIVERSITY jurisdiction because you need parties from two DIFFERENT states. You libel Mr Mac Isaac by dramatically understating his worth. Twice. So by poot math at least that's ...

A major incident that is certain to have many posts added should have its own topic. The Fogbow habit of reusing old topics for years on end makes for a difficult read in my opinion.
