Report: SARS-CoV-2 is unhappy

with its Trump Hotel accommodation, and is actively exploring options to terminate the arrangement.

The principal complaint is inedible steak: “really greasy, has no flavor, over-priced and just gross!!”

And I would have got away with it too

If it wasn’t for that damn China virus.

Trump’s COVID infection may have spared the nation from his ‘let it bleed’ shitshow after the election. For Trump, more important than power, or staying out of prison, is is not losing face - that incredible effort he devotes to saying that the MF is not a loser. Now he can blame the China virus. I hope he does just that.

My 2020 song. These Days. Powderfinger.

These Days. Performed during lockdown. 2020.

This life, well it’s slipping right through my hands.
These days turned out nothing like I had planned.

'Rachel Maddow Show' Scores All-Time High With Mary Trump Interview

Source: Hollywood Reporter

MSNBC's Rachel Maddow Show hit an all-time ratings high Thursday night with an interview with Mary Tump.

Maddow's sit-down with President Trump's niece drew a record 5.23 million viewers to the show, leading every show on cable and broadcast in primetime Thursday. The audience for the hour easily surpassed The Rachel Maddow Show's previous high of 4.47 million viewers, set in January for an interview with impeachment figure Lev Parnas.

Thursday's edition also claimed the largest viewership for a regularly scheduled show in MSNBC's history.

Mary Trump's book, Too Much and Never Enough, has become an instant best-seller for its account of how the Trump family shaped her uncle's personality. Mary Trump, a clinical psychologist, details how her family played a role in developing what she says is Donald Trump's narcissism and inability to empathize.

Biden 2008: Promises to pursue Bush Administration crimes: "No AG or President is above the law".

Deerfield Florida, October 2, 2008

QUESTION: I'd like to know if you guys are going to pursue the violations that have been made against our Constitution by the present administration and restore the Constitution to its rightful place in our society?

BIDEN: Yes ...

We will not be estopped from pursuing any criminal offense that's occurred ...

(The Judiciary Committees) .... will go through it with a fine- tooth comb.

(Any criminal violations) ... will be pursued ... out of the need to preserve the notion that no one -- no one -- no attorney general, no president, no one is above the law. (Applause).

Answer in full:

BIDEN: Yes. (Applause.) Now, look, here's the deal. My colleagues can tell you, particularly Henry Waxman, one of the things that happens is -- you know, there's a phrase in the law, those of you who are lawyers. Sometimes you're estopped from being able to present something, meaning your failing to have acted in the past precludes you having the right to act in the future. We will not be estopped from pursuing any criminal offense that's occurred. Now, here's what's happening: Patrick Leahy in the Judiciary Committee and Henry Waxman from California, in his oversight committee, as well as John Conyers in his Judiciary Committee, what they're doing is they're doing the right thing. They're not making false accusations about anything. They're not making unfounded accusations. They're collecting data. They are subpoenaing records. They're building the file, and they're going through it and will go through it with a fine- tooth comb. If there has been a basis upon which you could pursue someone for a criminal violation, they will be pursued -- not out of vengeance, not out of retribution; out of the need to preserve the notion that no one -- no one -- no attorney general, no president, no one is above the law. (Applause).
