Gotta swamp the drain.

EXCLUSIVE: Right before he was put in charge of a Senate subcommittee with jurisdiction over the Navy, Sen. David Perdue began buying up stock in a company that made submarine parts. https://t.co/rlE9MLbpl9

Yes, all the marauding hordes screeching about Trump’s defeat somehow didn’t materialize. I wonder why. Perhaps they are just cowards with giant compensating guns? Just a guess.

Trump is suffering withdrawal following his humiliating loss. He cannot believe that a clear majority of Americans have rejected him. He needs to dree his weird and face up to a future without Air Force One.

Because he can.

With a heaping side order of “when you and your entire party are rotten to the core and enmeshed in countless crimes, sabotaging the judiciary for a generation starts to seem like a really good idea.”

But you can’t call him a ‘socialist’, so … what’s the label? Since ‘socialist’ seems to be such a big winner in this election cycle, Dems must come up with a handy label for Republicans, and I’m serious. “Capitalist pig” doesn’t do it anymore.

@steviedee111 and @epirali
I have read that the Danes are very strongly considering culling their entire mink population. Apparently the mink are infected with SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes Covid-19) and the zoonotic virus is mutating. They are considering destroying a fortune in mink production because the mutated virus would not be addressed by the currently formulated vaccines.

Equally deadly? Fairly likely actually. Widespread? Perhaps within rural Denmark. Borders in the EU are porous by design.

BREAKING not the NEWS!!!

WASHINGTON —A Florida man who hates the job he has held for nearly four years is nevertheless refusing to leave it, puzzling psychologists.

While many people are reluctant to leave jobs that they enjoy, the man has shown every sign of despising his job from the day he took it.

Rather than applying himself to the tasks before him, he has gone to great lengths to avoid them, watching television most of the day and frequently leaving the office to play golf.

Sometimes, he has even hidden in the basement of his workplace for hours, according to reports.

And yet, despite his obvious distaste for his job, he has steadfastly refused to accept the fact that he was fired from it two weeks ago.

Dr. Davis Logsdon, chairman of the psychology department of the University of Minnesota, proposed a possible explanation for the man’s bizarre actions.

“This is the behavior of someone who has failed at many jobs,” he said. “On some level, he is terrified that he is not employable anywhere else.”

Maybe we can GoFundMe him a nice 737 MAX, since his FAA says it’s now the safest plane ever made…

Not a shrink here, but I’m guessing that no one exists for Donald “Willard” Trump unless they’re standing right in front of him. So for him, a quarter of a million people who died in the last 9 months didn’t really exist in his warped little mind.

Actually he knows that if he leaves this job, his next permanent residence will be compliments of the NYS DOJ. That’s why he’s terrified.

If you’re saying I understated the difficulty of making Trump’s pandemic response, to the extent there was one, reflect well on him, well, yeah, I do that deliberately all the time. :wink:

Trump has never surprised me.
Now, McConnell and his Senate, Republicans in the House no longer surprise me.
They disgust me.
I still, more strongly then ever, believe they all love their power on who lives and who dies.
