Swalwell sure got THAT right...

He started Joy Reid’s show, following a story about Trump’s transition team, by saying essentially: transition to WHAT? It certainly isn’t going to be the White House.

They have normalized this mofo: it’s a fait accompli that he’s gonna win? This is beyond absurd. This has gotta stop NOW!

They’re real busy talking about Shithead Convict’s transition team and not discussing his indictments and conviction.

That's the key - "Federal Funds". Trump is trying to figure out how to grift those funds. He's gotta know he can't win...

I could be wrong, and I’ll have to double check. I know he tried to get away with keeping Biden from getting his transition team funding. He had some loyalist running the office in charge of that, and she wouldn’t release the funds until it was obvious to the deaf, dumb and blind that Cantaloupe Caligula had lost.

maybe pay-per-view if the US Dept. of Justice could set that up. I'd pay to watch.

If scientists are telling us the truth as they see it, climate changes in less than a half century will bring Hell on this blue planet. Respect, ethics, morality, and character better make a resounding return, to enable the best of our human species to survive. We had better enjoy the joy while we have it without parsing its meaning and intent. The pandemic was just a warm up, and look what the weird and cruel did with that.

to Ukraine was badmouthed by Rudy Giuliani for not being sufficiently loyal to Trump, who was reported to have said “she’s going to go through some things”. He fired her shortly thereafter.

This remark by Trump was included in the witness testimony at Trump’s first impeachment.

Now it’s his turn to “go through some things “.
