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

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.

After 4 gut-wrenching years, the MAGAts' "Fuck Your Feelings" unity mantra comes home to roost.

The foremost thought in my mind during the multiple Republicans' call for "unity" was how quickly after Trump's taking office the slogan "fuck your feelings" entered the lexicon, along with "I made a liberal cry," and cocaine cowboy Don Jr gleefully "triggering libs" at every opportunity, making him an icon among his dad's lemmings.

And now, we have this. Thoughts and prayers, MAGAts. Thoughts and prayers.

'A horrible feeling': Trump supporters in grieving after they finally realize he's leaving
January 17, 2021

Woke up with a JOYGASM upon learining that the Pentagon told Trump "NO MILITARY PARADE FOR YOU."



Keep in mind that President-elect Joe Biden's inauguration celebration is being closed to the public because of the insurrection that Trump encouraged his followers to commit on January 6. At this time, over 20,000 National Guard troops will be on patrol in Washington D.C. and the FBI is tracking threats of violence for Trump supporters and other right-wingers who believe the president's repeatedly disproven claims that Biden stole the election through an unprecedented nationwide conspiracy of voter fraud.

Succinct tweet from Don Winslow sums up the Trump family legacy.

Don Winslow
@donwinslow

Dear Fred and Mary Trump,

Your son is the only President in history to be impeached twice. 30 sexual assault charges. 2 alleged rapes. 6 bankruptcies. 5 deferments. Thousands of kids caged at the border. And his own children who steal from kids with cancer.

The Trump family.
