"President Biden has removed the Diet Coke button."

Tom Newton Dunn
@tnewtondunn

President Biden has removed the Diet Coke button. When @ShippersUnbound and I interviewed Donald Trump in 2019, we became fascinated by what the little red button did. Eventually Trump pressed it, and a butler swiftly brought in a Diet Coke on a silver platter. It's gone now.

Ralphie sends Scut Farkus permanently to Mar-a-Lago, and America breathes a sigh of relief.

What an emotional day. I had MSNBC on from early morning till about 10. My girlfriend made a full Thanksgiving dinner (with a roast chicken substituting for the turkey, but everything else...her homemade stuffing, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, green beans, and homemade triple chocolate brownies for dessert. She came in and out of the bedroom while she spent all day making the meal to catch up on the latest.

And yes, the Susan Collins "I'm sure he's learned a lesson" remark after the first impeachment was basically prophecy for what happened on January 9th, because the last four years of Trump getting away with it all and continuing to shoot people on Fifth Avenue lost its luster after the Capitol insurrection.

What McConnell and his minions in the Senate will do during the second impeachment trial is your guess as good as mine.

All I know is that today, he got on that copter, held his rambling and pathetic final MAGAt rally as president for his small crowd, got on Air Force one, and he and the First Nude went to Mar-a-Lago F-O-R-E-V-E-R.

Let's take everything from this point forward one day it a time. And today, my friends, was a GREAT day.

Trump's big sendoff is looking like it will be Rudy and the Pillow dick.

NO PENCE.

NO LINDSEY

NO MILITARY PARADE

NO MAGA RALLY

SAD! UNFAIR!

To quote Alice Cooper: "Eighteen, eighteen, eighteen, eighteen (hours) AND I LIKE IT..."

15 minutes away from 18 hours to go.

My girlfriend is making a FULL THANKSGIVING MEAL tomorrow (except we got a roasting chicken instead of a turkey). She's making homemade stuffing, got cranberry sauce, homemade gravy, mashed potatoes, all of it, and said to me today "TOMORROW IS THANKSGIVING."

She even wanted to get champagne for a toast, but she doesn't drink and said she'd only have a couple of sips and it gives me a headache. So we'll probably pour some of the fruit juice we bought today and toast with that instead.

And seeing her joy fills my heart to bursting. And this is happening ALL OVER AMERICA, and ALL OVER THE WORLD,

That corrupt fat fuck is leaving in disgrace and Joe & Jill Biden and Kamala Harris are returning grace and kindness to the discourse.

I KNEW I was going to be THRILLED when it was time for Trump to slither away.

I didn't know that feeling would keep escalating with each passing hour.

Tomorrow is going to be WONDERFUL, folks.

"She didn't have to do that. No one else did it."



Most people know her as Jill Biden. But to some she is Dr. B, the compassionate and challenging educator who went the extra mile.

Stack said that while settling into American life she caught bronchitis and coughed endlessly though her classes.

“I didn’t have insurance. I didn’t even know where to go to the doctor,” Stack said. “[Biden] was trying to help me and figure out how to get that care. She didn’t have to do that. No one else did it.”

And the compassion was returned. Biden, in her memoir, recounted the time her sister underwent a stem cell transplant. The professor told her class at NOVA that she would miss their next session so she could care for her sister.

“I quickly faced the whiteboard so the students wouldn’t see the tears filling my eyes,” Biden wrote. “When I turned back around, every single student was standing. They made a line and came up to hug me, one by one. At that moment, I knew just how much I needed them.”

So Cheetolini is "not expected to" pardon himself, Don Jr, Ivanka, or Eric.

I am assuming that someone got through his thick skull and convinced him that not only would those pardons INVITE additional investigations but would also stack the deck against him at his Senate impeachment hearing.

I think you can bet the farm on Miller still being on the list, along with every other swamp dweller. If he pardons the organic food lives with mom horn and furs guy, I see it as the same as pardoning himself when it comes to the Senate, but who the hell knows at this point.

And I don't think he's giving his kids a thought. I think it's all about what he sees as best for himself.

Big caveat, this DID come from John Roberts at Fox News. He's no Hannity, but it's still Fox:

John Roberts
@johnrobertsFox
Sources with knowledge of the process tell
@FoxNews
that President Trump is NOT EXPECTED to issue "protective" pardons to members of his family, and is NOT expected to attempt a protective pardon for himself.
