The Presidency of Donald J. Trump, Episode XIV: T-minus 97 Hours

What’s insane is that in 2020 we’re pointing out that it’s insane that a cop aided in a coup attempt incited by the President–as though the latter fact is just a footnote.

As per usual seems Melania wants us all to empathize with how she must be coping.

Yes, and that’s like the third worst thing about the letter.

Is Fox like literally not taking his calls? He has a press room in his house. I think any press conference would be covered.

From the article:

Cumulus and its program syndication arm, Westwood One, “will not tolerate any suggestion that the election has not ended. The election has been resolved and there are no alternate acceptable ‘paths.’ ”

The memo adds: “If you transgress this policy, you can expect to separate from the company immediately.”

Since the election, Cumulus has remained silent while its most popular hosts — which include Mark Levin, Ben Shapiro and Dan Bongino — have amplified Trump’s lies that the vote was “rigged” or in some way fraudulent.

On his program on Tuesday, the day before the march on the Capitol, for example, Levin fulminated about Congress’s certification of electoral votes for Biden, describing the normally routine vote as an act of “tyranny.”

“You think the framers of the Constitution … sat there and said, ‘Congress has no choice [to accept the votes], even if there’s fraud, even if there’s some court order, even if some legislature has violated the Constitution?’ ” Levin said, his voice rising to a shout.

I’m finding myself empathizing a tiny bit with the true believers and even less with the enablers like Cruz, Hawley, Giuliani, Fox, Bannon, ONN, etc. (and I was already at zero with these people).

Trump is probably between the two categories (because he almost seems insane enough to be a true believer), but every remaining day he has on earth should be made miserable.

I would offer these people job interviews just to troll the shit out of them. “Thanks for coming in.
Tell me about a time you took a job working for an obvious fascist and what you learned from that experience.”

This did not happen with Gerald Ford

Ford was an elected official, but wasn’t elected to the position from where he assumed the presidency, which is essentially the same case for Pompeo.

the idea that there will be any amendment that has anything to do with selecting the president is 100% pure fantasy in the current environment.
