Trump is begging his supporters to fork over cash for the Georgia runoffs.

There's just one hitch: Trump's new political machine is pocketing most of the dough — and the campaigns of the Georgia senators aren't getting a cent. https://t.co/Mra6N8qsy1

so what’s new? that’s his m.o. he scammed 1/3 of the whole country in 2016 grifting campaign donors and all the taxpayers for past 4 years charging them to pay rent & travel expenses for golf and ego trips to prop up his properties.
D’ump’s golden rule: “do unto others before they do it to you”
some more bits of scripture for D’ump – something about love thy neighbor and turn your other fat cheek even if they don’t love you
wapo:
Query: would D’ump presidential library located at mal an ego (likely an unused closet) cure his legal problem with palm bch; that is, is it okay for a former prez to have their legal residence at same address as their library?
Dumbass’ problem is that he entered into an agreement with the town of Palm Beach to allow turning Mal an Ego into a club from a residence. Question is whether Palm Beach can enforce that agreement. According to a guest on mojo Palm Beach aggressively enforces its code provisions, which is likely what the effect of that agreement is – Maybe he’ll let Rudy try to argue the case once he gets sued by the town of Palm Beach other residents of the town of Palm Beach then force those provisions of the agreement that prevent him from making Mal an Ego a residence for in excess of 21 days in a year. He’s been so successful with the election litigation it strikes me as a no brainer.
Pogo, wonder how the club will fare anyway. Maybe another reason to pretend he’s running again, keep membership up. But one perk will be gone. Last time they raised dues they included a ride on Air Force One.
NOt onlly can he no longer offer rides on Air Force One, but the neighbors have already requested removal of the helicopter pad and refused installation of a boat dock.
Uneasy lies the head which wears maga hat #1. Tight as don’s hatband. Etc.
Hard to say about the health of Mar a Lago as a golf club. Looking at its pre 2017 numbers might give you an idea, I suspect it’s doing fine and will – upper echelon clubs tend to be pretty well membered up. It’s amazing to me – initiation fees of a couple hundred grand and dues of $1000 and up per month is beyond my means. Not sure what the Dumbass Club figures are, but I suspect they are in that range.
I hope that Joe’s directive to each of his Cabinet and agency heads is that they immediately review every appointment made in the past 6 months and if they are not protected by civil service rules that they be replaced with competent people loyal to Biden. He should fire Lewandowski in his inaugural speech.
Oh, and Tony, Biden should absolutely not pardon D’ump for anything. He doesn’t have to get involved with any decisions made by his AG or the US Attorneys he appoints, but a pardon? Hell no.
speaking of Twitter jail….
Glad to see Jennifer Granholm is getting a leadership role She is wonderful too bad she was born in Canada
people for the american way:
foxnews:
After weeks of pressure from all sides of the Democratic Party’s vast coalition over the makeup of his incoming administration, President-elect Joe Biden on Wednesday pushed back against his critics as he made another history-making Cabinet nomination.
“By the end of this process, this Cabinet will be the most representative of any Cabinet in American history. We’ll have more people of color than any Cabinet ever. We’ll have more women than any Cabinet ever. We’ll have a Cabinet of barrier breakers, a Cabinet of firsts,” Biden emphasized on Wednesday.
Biden, who has vowed to make good on his promise that his administration would “look like America,” touted his choices to date, saying “our Cabinet doesn’t have just one first, or just two of these firsts, but eight precedent-busting appointments. And today a ninth – the first openly gay nominee to lead a Cabinet department and one of the youngest Cabinet members ever.”

speaking of our new cabinet of firsts, here’s the next SOS mr. blinken (aka Ablinken on spotify)
the 12/14/20 new yorker had a piece on what may interest the guitar aficionados on the trail titled “a dad-rocker in the state department” along with this caricature of him

I just saw that SFB twitter account was hacked a few months ago by a “white hat” hacker, they find holes and let people know. The password was “MAGA2020”. That had to be set up for him by someone who knew he was illiterate and probably could not remember anything else.
Blinken is a credible player. I’d wager he’s listened to a bit of Bonnie Raitt. She coulda written that song.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAH.
I call bullshit. This fatass has probably come into contact with a hundred people who would have tested positive over the past month. Word yesterday on Joy Reid’s show was that the 900 person party he was planning, at which he was going to give an address, yielded 70 RSVPs, he substituted a different speaker, then cancelled the party. Maybe that was true and maybe it’s true that he is self-quarantining after coming into contact with someone who tested positive – I don’t know, but I do know he’s the Liar in Chief’s second and he ain’t far behind, so I call bullshit.
Looks as if a lot of you will be knee deep or more in white stuff.
Here it’s wet and heavy, just changing over to snow from rain and projected to go on for another 5 hours or more.
Oh , BTW, driving up route 50 today I was in the lane behind a pick up truck with two flags flying behind the cab. One was a Confederate battle flag, and the other was a Trump 2020 flag that showed Trump dressed up as if he were some sort of a goddamn Navy seal or something holding an A.R. 15 and looking all buff and shit. I gave them the salute that I always give Trump flags and signs.🖕🏼
Tony, saw that. It was DiSantis lying for Dumbass when he thought Florida mattered to Dumbass’ attempt to be re-elected.
Yep, Pogo, that POS DeSantis lying for Trump. A lackey for a Trump, like so many. Man, I’m so sick of these people. Florida just elects 2 creep Senators as well.
Jamie…. we are expecting about a foot and a half…. but it’s going to be light and fluffy. It’ll be much easier to deal with than the last storm… which, BTW, had melted down to maybe an inch.

Loeffler sounds like she is on board to commit treason in Jan 6th. Heaven forbid if she wins on January 5th, but she should not be seated based on her public allegiance to tRUMPsky in attempt to overthrow the government.

Any word from Twitter?
Weather Report: Rain, rain, rain, and more rain
Nothing from Twitter. I just deleted it. If they decide a 76 year old great grandmother is no longer a major threat to the nation, I’ll let you know.

The descent into madness continues…and, I hope tRUMPsky doesn’t go to Biden’s swearing in ceremony. He says he won’t leave the WH. He usually follows through on the craziest stuff.
patd, love the GoldenCalf!
So, due to his own decision decades ago, trumpity can’t live in his own ugly mansion on the sea. They could go to the nearest Red Roof Inn.
Shit gets real. My best friend in Bama and his wife tested positive. Mild symptoms but they’re scheduled to receive antibody transfusions Monday. Dunno, no regeneron cocktail for them. Draws a distinction between real folks and the mutherfuckers known as trumpco. I hope those bastards spend an eternity melting slowly at extremely high temperatures.
Agreed, Pogo!
TYVM Tip. Yes, Fuggem.
Odd night on the tv. SNL Christmas on NBC and Super Duper Alice Cooper on AXStv. Excellent flipping alternatives.
And as dumbass tries to fleece his stupid followers, from the world of bad news, per NYT,
Turned the Corner, hunh? Stupid mutherfucker.
