President Trump complained for nearly a week about a "disgraceful" $2.3 trillion COVID-19 relief and 2021 spending package Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin helped negotiate, "only to sign it and get nothing in return?" Politico's Playbook editors Jake Sherman and Anna Palmer marveled Monday morning. "Trump got taken to the cleaners."

After this "bizarre, embarrassing episode," all Trump proved is that "he had no discernible strategy and no hand to play," Palmer and Sherman write. "He folded, and got nothing besides a few days of attention and chaos. ... Zip. Zero. Zilch." Trump issued a statement insisting he got promises out of Congress, they note, but "he'll never get the spending rescissions he's asking for — like, zero chance" — and his support for a vote on $2,000 stimulus checks will only "split the Republican Party on the way out the door."

"This is probably the most fitting coda to Trump's presidency, and a neat encapsulation of his relationship with Congress," Palmer and Sherman argue. "He never cared to understand the place and was disengaged from its work. They'll be laughing — er, scratching their heads — at your genius about this one for a while, Mr. President."

Palmer also noted the terrible optics of Trump sitting on relief checks, unemployment benefits, and rental aid from his golf resort in Palm Beach, while Vice President Mike Pence is on a skiing vacation in Vail, Colorado, and Mnuchin took a private jet down to his vacation home in a Mexican resort near Cabo.


Maybe there's something fitting about that, too.

...beware the manga!

has drumpf had his covid shot yet ?

$2 for just $14.

I like the way he explained what 'First Come First Served' meant.

Thoughtful.

They should have made it a 3 dollar bill.

I guess the price of various novelty pen holders and pencil sharpeners will be dropping soon....

Poor old baldy orange loser, it seems the GOP are throwing him under the bus. He so desperately wanted to get his own back on Twatter for blocking his shitty tweets, but they won't let him.

Fuck off baldy orange loser!

WASHINGTON — The Senate on Friday joined the House to override President Donald Trump’s veto of a sweeping military policy bill, delivering the first such blow to Trump just weeks before he leaves office.

The Senate voted 81 to 13 to approve the $741 billion National Defense Authorization Act, achieving the two-thirds majority required to defeat the veto. The House overrode the veto on Monday by a vote of 322-87. As a result, the legislation will become law.

Trump vetoed the measure on Dec. 23 after lawmakers refused to include his request to add a provision repealing an internet liability law known as Section 230 that protects social media companies. The previous eight vetoes issued by Trump had been allowed to stand.

Congress overrides Trump'''s veto for the first time on major military bill

I can see it.

Plane Sightings Fuel Rumors Trump Planning Escape to Scotland on Day Before Biden Inauguration


Something strange is happening on the west coast of Scotland. According to a report from the Sunday Post, a lot of unusual U.S. military activity has been recorded at one airport that just so happens to be very close to President Donald Trump’s flagship Scottish golf resort. In fact, the report states that Prestwick airport has been told to expect the arrival of a U.S. military Boeing 757 plane, one that has reportedly been used by Trump before, on Jan. 19. If that date rings a bell, it’s because it’s the day before Joe Biden’s presidential inauguration. The report also states that several U.S. Army aircraft have been spotted carrying out surveillance above Trump’s Turnberry resort in recent weeks. An airport source told the paper: “The survey aircraft was based at Prestwick for about a week. It is usually a sign Trump is going to be somewhere for an extended period.”

Does Scotland (UK) have an extradition treaty with the USA?

S0 I google it and it said "In Scotland, the Supreme Court will only hear an extradition case where it involves a 'devolution issue'. "
So I guess it all depends which way you are headed on the evolutionary scale.

More importantly, he has no "essential" reason to travel to Scotland and the Krankie has said he won't be allowed in.

Who chooses a vacation at a Scottish golf resort in winter? I’m sure the diminutive SNP leader would take great pleasure in denying Trump access. In the same way she’s takes great delight in cashing cheques from Westminster in order to fund her ability to do just that.

In four years, Donald Trump has taken the USA to mob rule. Nicely done, chump. The republicans supporting him are just as accountable.

These are white supremacist terrorists. Round them up and charge them with insurrection. Those that don't surrender on the spot, shoot them.

And the 50% (51?) of the US voters as well...

So the man who has been given a time-out on social media sites because he keeps acting unhinged, lying and fomenting violence, still has the nuclear codes.

Sleep well I guess.
