At the start of Thursday’s news conference, Giuliani said he, Ellis, Powell and other attorneys present were “representing President Trump and we’re representing the Trump campaign.” Ellis introduced the group as “an elite strike force team that is working on behalf of the president and the campaign to make sure that our Constitution is protected.”

On one hand it's pretty embarrassing to be teasing someone because they sat at a small table, on the other I get it.

I wonder if Trump wanted a small table because he thought it would make him look big?

You can't get more definitive than this.

Attorney General Bill Barr says no evidence of widespread fraud in 2020 election

Trump's own lapdog has said there's no fraud. Job done, right?

“To date, we have not seen fraud on a scale that could have affected a different outcome in the election,” Barr told the AP.
The headline pretty much summarizes it.

...that they gave the launch codes to.

Although after the admissions from others that they misplaced them, I do wonder how many backup processes are now in place.

Yep, looks like Trump's tactic of "I don't want to create a panic, so I'll do nothing whatsoever" re coronavirus is going just swimmingly.

and pissing of some republicans too by releasing a video saying they should up the Covid relief.

The one good thing about Trump, he didn't really care for one side or the other.
However that was only because he cared for himself.

Now if they can find someone that doesn't care for either side, but cares for the people, then they may turn out ok

If you ask me, they did have someone exactly like that, and the DNC refused to let him be the Democratic Nominee in 2016.

facepalm

A desperate man will resort to desperate measures.
Of course if Trump had won, we'd be hearing about what a great, free and fair election it was, with the best outcome in America's history. It's only because he lost that suddenly it becomes "fraud". But that's par for the course for a narcissist.

Something I don't understand is Kushner's work in the Middle East. Looks like the Qatar blockade is effectively resolved. Along with establishing relations between Israel and various states in the region that have long stood against Israel.

Opposing the boogeyman that is Iran has been the main tool used to achieve these changes from what I can see.

But I don't really get Kushner's angle. Cash is the obvious one, but who would be paying up? Legacy is another, but I never figured Trump and co. cared for an actual legacy when they're so willing to believe whatever they like. Trump will always imagine himself the US's best president in any scenario.

In any case, it can't be denied this administration has had some real impact in the region.

Trump permanently suspended from Twitter as of just now.
If only they'd done this 4 years ago.

Qatar crisis: Saudi Arabia and allies restore diplomatic ties with emirate

Quote:
Kuwaiti mediation efforts appeared to make little progress until late last year, when the Trump administration intensified pressure on all sides for an end to the stand-off that thwarted their efforts to assemble an alliance of Sunni-led states to counter Iran and its proxies.

Mr Trump's son-in-law and senior adviser Jared Kushner visited Saudi Arabia and Qatar in December, and reportedly flew to al-Ula on Monday to attend the summit.
Does anyone have any insight into what happened here? This is legit, legacy stuff. It might not be peace in Israel, but if the Trump administration especially Kushner actually played the role it appears they did, it's a real diplomatic achievement.

But fuck knows what's actually going on. In any case I think Qatar has come out stronger, their resiliency tested.

Kushner must be spewing over the Capitol riot. Shits all over anything he might have gotten done.

If you were wondering why it took until the last week of the Trump administration and a literal coup attempt to ban Trump from Facebook and Twitter:
Quote:
Facebook and Twitter have lost a combined $51 billion in market cap following their bans of President Donald Trump last week as investors balked at the tech giants' surprise censorship of Trump roughly two weeks before his term was set to end.
Outrage SELLS. Letting Trump spew his poison made these fuckers rich.

Hello, I am a patriotic supporter of President Donald Trump who broke into the U.S. Capitol and attacked police officers because I believed the election was stolen and it was my duty to overthrow the government using only a flagpole I picked up along the way and the horns on the cool viking helmet I wore.

I am now being told I have lost my job and might go to prison.

This is an absurd, Orwellian trampling of my First Amendment rights, according to a person I follow on Twitter.

What kind of country are we if an outstanding citizen like myself can be fired, arrested and charged with domestic terrorism just because I livestreamed myself joining hundreds of other freedom fighters in attempting to crush a screaming law enforcement officer before defecating in the offices of Democratic lawmakers? ...

That seems both unfair and tyrannical. I have never once had to face consequences before, so clearly there’s a problem. ...

Can you imagine what it must be like for the Capitol IT team? They must want to pull out every cable, every computer, every hub and switch and router and set them all on fire. You could never trust any bit of hardware or software that was in the building on that day ever again.

Well, that was that. What a fucking ride.

Will anyone at the top face consequences, or will it just be the poor schlubs who showed up to the Capitol receiving the extended Federal prison terms?

Hours before they assume office, however, there is a fear among Biden’s team that the roadblocks they encountered during the chaotic transition shielded them from understanding the full scope of the problems at various agencies, and that the state of the executive branch is far worse than they understood — “the tip of the iceberg” as one senior transition aide put it.
Gonna be a long hangover from Trump's term.
