    "Good Riddance": China Sanctions 28 Trump Officials Including Pompeo, Bolton, Navarro & Bannon

    With Joe Biden now sworn in as US President as of 12:01pm, China has slapped sanctions on a who's who of top outgoing Trump administration officials.
    Significantly, 28 Trump admin figures will be permanently barred from travel or doing business either on the Chinese mainland or Hong Kong.


    "China announces decision to sanction 28 U.S. figures who it alleged to have severely violated China’s sovereignty, including officials in the Trump administration, according to a statement from the Chinese foreign ministry," Bloomberg reports shortly after Biden took the oath of office Wednesday.

    About time China had the balls to do something. Ted Cruz isn't on the list. Pathetic

    No he doesn't.

    The problem with idiots is that they always overestimate and think the bar is as low for everyone else as it is self-set for them.

    Well 74 million people voted for him so he might.
    And if it splits the Republican vote that'd be interesting.

    It'll be that.

    A significant number of that 74 voted for him simply because he was nominally 'GOP' and they're brainwashed and indoctrinated to vote that regardless.

    It's why McConnell is coming out hard against him now because he can see the writing on the wall.

    How about this maneuver before he left office. Hope Biden will sign a new directive to reverse it, pronto. After all, Trump’s a billionaire and can pay for his own family’s protection.


    Trump pushes to have Secret Service protect 14 of his family members post-presidency

    The U.S. Secret Service will protect former President Donald Trump and more than a dozen members of his family, including extended family members, after the 45th President, defying usual agency regulations, ordered the expanded protections.

    "Trump issued a directive to extend post-presidency Secret Service protection to 14 members of his family who were not automatically entitled to receive it," The Washington Post reports.


    Taxpayers will be on the hook for the millions of dollars the additional protections will cost, even after the Trump family decimated the protective agency's budget over the past four to five years.

    Once a president leaves office he or she, their spouse, and children up until they reach the age of 16 are entitled to Secret Service protection. Protection for the president and spouse is for the rest of their lives.

    But Trump has demanded every family member who has ever been covered to continue receiving protection, for the next six months.

    "That means the expensive, taxpayer-funded security will continue for his daughter Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner, their three children, his son Donald Trump Jr. and his five children, his son Eric Trump and his wife Lara and his daughter Tiffany Trump," the Post explains.


    In just the first two years of his presidency Trump and his family members who are protected by the Secret Service took more than 4500 trips.

    Citizens for Ethics (CREW) on Wednesday noted that "the Trump family took more trips that required Secret Service protection in one year than the Obama family took in seven."

    Not only that..

    Trump also directed that three key officials leaving government continue to receive the protection for six months: former treasury secretary Steven Mnuchin, former chief of staff Mark Meadows and former national security adviser Robert C. O’Brien, two people familiar with the arrangement said.

    But surely President Biden has the final say now that Trump's toast.

    He will need that protection. Iran will probably be trying to assassinate someone in his family for the next 10 years

    I hate this triumphalist "president Donald trump" thread too. But he will still be a topic of discussion. So we need a new thread preferably with a demeaning title.

    Trump the B celebrity douchbag or something like that

    Trump has no legal team or strategy for Capitol riot impeachment trial

    -


    Key Points
    • Ex-President Donald Trump is not prepared for his Senate impeachment trial despite the fact that it could begin as early as the start of next week.
    • Trump, who is charged with inciting the deadly Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol by a mob of his supporters, still has not assembled a group of lawyers to defend him and has no clear legal strategy.
    • He had urged supporters to march to Congress and pressure lawmakers, including then-Vice President Mike Pence, to undo the election of Joe Biden as president.


    Rudy Giuliani, Trump’s personal lawyer, said Sunday that he will not represent him at the trial
    because he gave a speech at the same rally where Trump spoke just before the riot.

    Trump not prepared for Senate impeachment trial for Capitol riots
    Someone is sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago ...

    Yes, except this one,
    because he was so special, he is awarded a special title that I cant mention now because there might be children around.

    I would not object to this thread being closed.

    There are other threads highlighting what may happen to Trump due to his past indiscretions and illegal activities.

    Plus the term president and Trump mentioned in the same sentence irks me.
