Trump Whines About ’60 Minutes’ Interview With Ex-DHS Official Who Debunked False Voter Fraud Claims

Nope, the law of gravity was repealed by executive order, the same one that keeps Muslims out of the US.

I’m guessing she did a whole tree on the theme on immigration: the baby Jesus in the manger inside a cage, immigration agents in full tactical gear, weeping parents, space blankets, frozen burritos, and the whole thing covered in barbed wire. There’s probably a string of lights too, but only one and only every 4th bulb works. The ribbon across the front says, “I really don’t care, do U?”

ETA:

It’s our final Christmas with Melania Trump, and we shall celebrate in the usual way: by accompanying FLOTUS on an annual tour of her White House decor, a one-minute video that also appears to serve as a trailer for a movie about a woman who wakes up in a castle one holiday season and goes searching for the person who spiked her eggnog with mushrooms.

I suspect no confirmations will be forthcoming. That way, all these great people Biden is nominating can only work for something like 90 days and then they have to be replaced with other ‘acting’ candidates. The instability this would cause to the Biden administration is not lost on McConnell, who will make sure that either all nominations are voted down for any reason they can find, or hearings not happening at all.

If you don’t think it can happen, have a look at Wisconsin. We’re two years in to Governor Evers’ administration, particularly at Andrea Palm, who’s role has been temporary for the entire administration:

Andrea Palm - Wikipedia

Wisconsin DHS[edit]

In January 2019, Governor-elect Tony Evers nominated Palm to serve as Secretary of the Wisconsin Department of Health Services. Palm and other Evers-nominated cabinet secretaries began performing their duties while their confirmation hearings were pending. Palm’s nomination stalled in the Republican-controlled Wisconsin Legislature, with members citing Palms decision to name a former Planned Parenthood lobbyist as her deputy.[6][7] Wisconsin State Senate Majority Leader, Scott L. Fitzgerald, has continued to block Palm’s nomination from appearing before a full Senate vote.[8]

COVID-19 response[edit]

While still acting as Secretary-designee, Palm has been tasked with managing Wisconsin’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Various mayors requested that Palm use her authority as Secretary to prevent in-person voting during the 2020 Wisconsin Democratic primary. Governor Tony Evers signed an executive order for all-mail-in election, but the order was rejected by the Republican-controlled Wisconsin Legislature.[9] In May 2020, the Legislature filed a lawsuit against Palm personally, accusing her of “violating state law by extending the governor’s emergency rules, exceeded her authority by closing businesses and locking down individuals, acting ‘arbitrarily and capriciously’ in her order, and usurping the legislature’s oversight powers”.[10] Member-elect of the U.S. House of Representatives Tom Tiffany later called on Palm to resign.[11] An updated stay-at-home order, issued by Palm, was struct down in a ruling by the Wisconsin Supreme Court, effectively reopening several businesses in the state against warnings by public health officials. In the decision, the Court ruled that while Governor Evers had emergency powers authority, Palm did not.[12][13][14]

This is what is facing the entire Biden nomination process. Guarantee it.

I’m not confident even then, honestly. The margin will be so small that all McConnell has to do is convince one or two Dems that won’t face re-election for four or five years that he has their backs.

Of course, he’ll be lying, but we have some weak-minded people out there that could probably be convinced their pet project will get funding in exchange for voting against the nominee. You know it will happen.

All because we couldn’t deliver the down ballot vote despite millions of dollars spent. This should’ve been easy.

Fox News should do its duty and have Krebs on there, as well.

There’s a good OpEd in today’s NYTimes about what happened after Germany lost WWI. Many tried to say it wasn’t true that Germany lost, that it was a “stab in the back,” and that this sort of lie, oft repeated, does somehow get into the Zeitgeist of susceptible people.

I’ll be optimistic right with you. I agree that much of the reporting about his every tweet ends with his presidency. Now, that’s not to say we won’t hear about the more outlandish stuff, but I do think/hope even the media has begun to tire of his shenanigans. Frankly, it’s just gotten boring and tedious. He’s starting to remind me of one of those stage kids, always desperate for attention, and never knows when to turn it off. If they lose those two GA senate seats, even the GOP will be trying to change the channel.

It is getting harder and harder to put up with the whining of the manchild in the White House. There is nothing that he can just accept as being less than perfect when it comes to the actions of himself and/or his administration. It is even harder to stomach the acceptance of this whining as anything other than childish by his cult followers.

There is a work-around, should we lose the Senate.

Nancy adjourns the House, and Mitch refuses to adjourn the Senate. When there is a disagreement between the houses of Congress about adjournment, the President gets the last word. Biden orders the Senate adjourned. Now he makes recess appointments. They are only good through 2022, so it’s much better to take the Senate, but this will work.

Obama couldn’t use it, because he didn’t control the House after 2010.
