Cool. He’s going to be in a pissy mood during Thursday’s extravaganza. Now’s the time to pile on with bringing up all his other failures. I want this low-life to suffer in a manner commensurate with how he has made others suffer.

This likely moots the retrial of the racial animus prong of the Maryland case, although I would not be at all surprised if the judge rules on the improperly concealed evidence in connection with a motion for sanctions against the bad actors in the government.

Hope someone at the print shop double-checks that they get the right version… Or we’re going to get an “oopsie” in a few months…

It’s the only thing out so far… Guess he could have been called in to talk Trump off the ledge or something… But really doesn’t seem at all the right thing that would have required him to turn the plane around. Can phone this one in.

Only if Trump went into apoplexy and collapsed, shouting, 'get me bus, a big bright yellow bus," and then began singing, “The Wheels on the bus go round and round, …”

With that, Attorney General Barr told Pence to raise he very right wing hand, . .

(Sounds like a treatment for very a bad script . . )

My thought too. They had to bring Pence back to help calm an enraged and combative Trump down enough to persuade him to let this happen. But I’m still watching for them to continue the fight and “correct” it during proofreading.
