Trump so brave to make a appearance this afternoon, I'm sure he will provide evidence about everything that will come out of his pie hole, let's see if he takes any questions

No questions, just claiming his efforts on bringing in the vaccine, even though for Pfister only easing the protocols helped them. They didn’t get any money.

And, he’ll complain on the date of the announcements...that they were only AFTER the election.

Bill Barr denounced for pushing executions even after the administration was voted out

   
A group of Democratic lawmakers on Friday demanded the Trump administration halt federal executions—a practice it brought back after a 17-year hiatus—citing the threat of "irrevocable injustice."

"While you will remain in office for a few more weeks, going forward with executions in the weeks before the new administration takes office would be a grave injustice," the lawmakers wrote to Attorney General William Barr.

Trump Throws Twitter Tantrum As Long-Shot Attempts To Stay In Power Fade Away
The outgoing president retweeted a supporter who called his opponents "anti-American and anti-Christian" following an underwhelming protest in Washington.


The week ended with judges in several states rejecting President Donald Trump’s attempts to overturn the election results and the coronavirus pandemic surging, but Trump himself took to Twitter Sunday for one of his now-familiar rants. 

Trump admitted defeat to President-elect Joe Biden in one tweet, falsely claimed the election was rigged in another and retweeted a supporter who called Trump’s opponents “anti-American and anti-Christian” ― all before 10 a.m.

Trump adviser: Michigan should 'rise up' against coronavirus restrictions
https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/526094-trump-adviser-michigan-should-rise-up-against-coronavirus-restrictions

Coming off the kidnap plot, I bet having Atlas talking about folks in her State "rising up" made Governor Whitmer feel all warm and fuzzy.  At least she is doing something - unlike this White House.

The Trump Legacy.  
No one has ever assembled a bigger collection of unqualified hacks, crackpots, clowns and crooks in a single administration,......at least since the Penguin became mayor of Gotham.

The deafening silence of Republican senators on Donald Trump's increasingly erratic behavior

"We invited every single Republican senator to appear here on @MeetThePress this morning," NBC's Chuck Todd said Sunday morning. "They all declined."

That is absolutely remarkable. Sunday talk shows are the bread and butter of aspiring politicians. They scrap and fight for coveted slots on those shows, knowing that the permanent political class watches them religiously -- and that if you want to get your name out top donors, the media and the rest, doing a series of Sunday show appearances is a really good way to do that.

Why? Simple: None of them wanted to a) defend Trump's tweets or b) tell the President to tone it down, thereby incurring the wrath of the man who is, without question, still the most powerful person in GOP politics.

This is, in a word, gutless.....

"All that is necesssary for evil to triumph is for good men to remain silent". I guess that takes the pressure off  most Republicans to speak out.
