ETA: Tomorrow.

Yeah, Trump…and you’re still IMPEACHED and will always and forever be an IMPEACHED PRESIDENT!

P.S.
Obama was never impeached.
And, oh yeah, he was RE-ELECTED to a second term.

Ooooh, that’s gotta burn. Least I hope so.

Trump is dedicating his last days in office to making sure the competent people still have careers by firing them. Bless him.

Just replace him with someone who will say the election was totally rigged.

Makes perfect sense.

Krebs joins Jim Mattis and Scott Gottlieb as the only people whose reputations and job prospects have improved (Miles Taylor is trying…) after their stint working with the Trump crime-family.

#ETTD is the rule, with only a few exceptions. If the Trump folks were smarter, others would have pulled the move Krebs just did, but they are all not that smart…

Grrr. I know the MI State Board is 2x2 Repub/Dem. Anyone have any clue which way they would lean?

Trump will go to any lengths -ANY!- to avoid being embarrassed when we discover he hasn’t been a billionaire for more than a decade, if ever.

Oh, and to keep the rest of his ‘perfect call’ transcripts out of the public eye. I bet the Pentagon or the CIA has dirt on him that they refuse to turn over, and Trump has no legal machinery to force them to hide it.

Mr. Biden? If you remain true to your word and let the new DOJ make independent decisions, you had better make sure beforehand that they are fully staffed from the get-go.
