“Skip town” sounds sort of “gangster-ish”…especially since “junket”, “good will trip”, etc. are available
Oh, I am so reminded of having to relate to a hung-over shipmate his actions the night before at the Hail and Farewell ot the O-club. These Repugs are now beginning to come to. It’s herd-memory is being awakened. Smell the bile and sweat. It is going to be a bumpy ride, folks.
…with the potential for even more stops to be added to that schedule.
IOW, if it turns out he needs to stall for even more time to do nothing productive, he will add more destinations to the itinerary. Another lazy Conservative.
It sounds like Trump is not going to resign so that Pence can pardon him. Trump apparently hasn’t seen that train that everyone else sees coming. Pence will probably come back soon enough so that he can use AF2 but that isn’t going to leave much time if the resign and pardon deal is on.
It is also completely unsupportable in the face of the riding infection rates of the second wave of the virus. A multi-country farewell jaunt to try and burnish his own image separate from tRump’s a mere two weeks before the end of the administration? Come on.
Fingers crossed that Pence has a modicum of sense regarding how monstrous a Trump resignation-pardon scheme would be judged by the history books.
Although it’s been rather head-spinning the lengths that a so-called “devout” Christian has gone through to explain away the contradictions of supporting a foul-mouthed serial adulterer and walking embodiment of the Seven Deadly Sins.
