The "Trump is going to get worse" meme...

...I think that the more we say "Trump is going to get worse," the more it's posted as clickbait on Raw Story and elsewhere, the more we encourage him to GET worse.

Fact of the matter is that he's gotten worse every day since he scowled his way through his inauguration.

He just "is," and it's a matter of degrees. I don't think encouraging him to not BeBest by predicting he'll be an even bigger dick is helpful as he continues his quest to be an even bigger dick.

ARIGATO GOZAIMASU for the HEARTS! Greatly appreciated and wonderful.

It's been a great Friday night...a NEW possum showed up on our back deck for a snack, AND I got hearts. THANK YOU!

Trump shares his thoughts on Joe Manchin after he failed to recite the loyalty oath.

@realDonaldTrump

I was very surprised & disappointed that Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia voted against me on the Democrat’s totally partisan Impeachment Hoax. No President has done more for the great people of West Virginia than me (Pensions), and that will....

....always continue. Every Republican Senator except Romney, many highly religious people, all very smart, voted against the Impeachment Hoax. @SenCapito was all in (a great person). I was told by many that Manchin was just a puppet for Schumer & Pelosi. That’s all he is!

"Friends" cast rumored to be looking at a $3-$4 million payday...EACH...for a 1 hour special

https://www.buzzfeed.com/marissamuller/friends-reunion-hbo-max-details

Back in November it first came to light that a Friends reunion special could be in the works at HBO Max. Now, it seems like this dream might soon become a reality.

Apparently, the cast's negotiations stalled at the end of last year but it has since picked back up and all that's left is some signatures, according to Deadline. Those signatures would grant each cast member between $3 million and $4 million just to appear on an hourlong, unscripted reunion special.

This special, which sounds a lot like a group chat, would coincide with HBO Max bringing the full series to fans on its upcoming streaming service.

TBH, it makes sense that the reunion we may be getting is more of a fun hang with the cast than it is an update on the lives of the characters — especially because co-creator and executive producer Marta Kauffman shared that she and her collaborator David Crane have no interest in doing that.

Iowa and New Hampshire will not be moved from the Primary Schedule as long as I am President. Great tradition!

BEN CARSON on Trump: "The people who drive the cars and park the cars at Mar-a-Lago -- they love him ... you know, people say he's a racist -- he is not a racist."

Looks like Trump put some safeguards in place with Uncle Bill against future investigations.

Renato Mariotti
@renato_mariotti

This ensures that if Trump engages in wrongdoing again, the FBI can't investigate it without Barr's approval.

Given Trump's treatment of the whistleblower, we might not find out the next time Trump abuses his power.

The memo was issued on the same day Trump was acquitted on charges that he had abused his office to push a foreign power to publicly announce investigations into his political rivals. https://nyti.ms/39cEP5P

Trump praises Stefanik and "that mouth."

4.) Trump pays very creepy tribute to Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) by complimenting her looks and “that mouth.”

Trump gave a very strange shout out to Stefanik, who emerged as one of his most vocal defenders in the House of Representatives during last year’s impeachment inquiry.

“I thought, ‘she looks good, she looks like good talent,'” Trump said of Stefanik. “But I didn’t realize that when she opens that mouth, she was killing them.”

Just turned MSNBC back on...he's still going after an hour, sniffling like a truffle hunting pig

I tried turning it back on, hoping he was finished.

He's not finished...this is a MAGAt rally, not a press conference.

JESUS, they're blasting "Hail to the Chief" as he enters.

He's now clapping for himself.
