I’m even wondering if Trump is going to try and issue back-dated EO’s and pardons for the next few weeks.

First sentence of this article is (my bold): ā€œAs the President boarded the plane for Florida Monday morning,ā€ I think it’s Wednesday? After 4 years, I think all of us are a little shaky on truth. Better times are ahead!!

The man belongs in the sackcloth and ash the rest of us are metaphorically wearing after four years of his rule.
When can we start shunning him?

This is another instance where ā€˜bipartisanship’ is not at all what we need. Screw the Republicans. You can’t bargain with individuals who will betray you at the first chance.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: we can’t pin all our hopes on hope.

Nah, Ellis is a political appointee, in violation of government hiring mandates.
Pelosi caught that. He’s not long for the job, even if he retains the civil service standing during his hoped for reassignment on Guam, the Northern Marianna Islands or to Nome.

So basically he ran out of time to be even more evil. That’s about all this amounts to if you ask me.
