    The football board had the very useful Daily Trump Tracker thread, which was a good place to briefly discuss the latest ridiculous thing that might have ended 97% of prior Presidential administrations even if it didn't necessarily justify an entire thread devoted to it in 2017-2019 (because of the sheer volume of these things). Since I don't see anything like that here already, I'll add one myself.

    Melania Trump ‘just wants to go home’ | CNN Politics

    In mid-November, as President Donald Trump railed against the election results, his wife, first lady Melania Trump publicly agreed with his sentiments. But privately, a handful of days after the final state tally, the first lady tasked an emissary with discreetly finding out what was available...

    ......“I’d be happy to die in this fight,” radio talk-show host Eric Metaxas assured Trump during a recent interview. “This is a fight for everything. God is with us. Jesus is with us in this fight for liberty.”

    Elsewhere Metaxas predicted, “Trump will be inaugurated. For the high crimes of trying to throw a U.S. presidential election, many will go to jail.

    The swamp will be drained. And Lincoln’s prophetic words of ‘a new birth of freedom’ will be fulfilled. Pray.”

    Just to be clear, Metaxas has publicly committed his life to Donald Trump, claimed that at least two members of the Trinity favor a coup against the constitutional order, endorsed the widespread jailing of Trump’s political enemies for imaginary crimes, claimed Abraham Lincoln’s blessing for the advance of authoritarianism and urged Christians to pray to God for the effective death of American democracy. This is seditious and sacrilegious in equal measure.

    There is something pathetic about Metaxas’s panting desire to be cruise director on Trump’s sinking ship. But I don’t think his attitude is merely the result of ambition or hero worship.

    . Metaxas seems to be a man in the grip of a powerful delusion. And this ends up feeding doubts about religion itself.....

    Dedicating your life to Trump is in the same category. If a Christian leader believes — honestly and adamantly believes — that Trump is a fount of truth, a defender of the faithful, a Lincolnian guardian of liberty and a victim of a nationwide electoral conspiracy, he or she is likely to fall for anything.

    People like this — people like Metaxas — make the critical intelligence of Christians seem limited. And what these leaders say about religion loses in credibility.......

    I almost (almost!) wish I knew a few people that far gone down the fecal rabbit hole, just to see what they do when Biden is sworn in.

    If Trump in office is God's will, Trump would still be in office. Maybe God's will is Trump out of office. His popular vote boat racing would be sufficient evidence.

    Awesome. And he won't even have to fake the cover like he's done before. Congrats to you, Donnie. You've earned it.
    Prominent German news magazine Der Spiegel on Thursday named President Trump its “loser of the year,” the same day Time magazine named President-elect Joe Biden and Vice president-elect Kamala Harris its “Person of the Year.”

    In an article titled "Der Verlierer des Jahres," which translates as "The Loser of the Year,” the publication’s Washington bureau chief Roland Nelles and Berlin-based correspondent Ralf Neukirch described Trump as "a man who ... was never concerned with the common good, but always with one thing — himself."

    I imagine there will be a number of tweet storms before it's all said and done. Lol...

    President Trump has governed by Twitter for the last four years – using it to announce new policies, fire government officials, and attack his enemies.


    But there are signs that the power of that bully pulpit is dampening during the lame-duck period of his presidency, even as the president uses it to push baseless claims of election fraud. His account has lost more than 300,000 Twitter followers since Nov. 17, according to data from the Twitter tracker Factba.se.

    That’s just a tiny fraction of his 88.6 million followers — but it’s a shift for an account that had largely been growing at a fast clip for most of his time in office, even as he attacked social media companies for censoring conservatives. Trump had only 20.8 million followers when he took office on Jan. 20, 2017, per Factba.se.

    Meanwhile, President-elect Joe Biden has seen his popularity surge in the aftermath of his election. His account gained more than 1.9 million followers in the same period, according to the Twitter tracker. But Biden, with 20.9 million followers, remains a much less prolific tweeter than his predecessor.

    Trump raised firing Barr in White House meeting on Friday | CNN Politics

    President Donald Trump raised the prospect of firing Attorney General William Barr in a meeting on Friday, but it’s unclear whether he’ll choose to dismiss Barr before the end of his term next month.

    Glad to see that Barr still has morals...

    "Barr has decided, for the moment, to stay on until the end of Trump's term unless he thinks the President is going to fire him, according to a source familiar with the dynamic between the two men, who Friday described a serious breakdown in communication, saying the "relationship is a Cold War."

    Meanwhile Trump’s chief of staff threatened the F.D.A. head’s job if he didn’t get the vaccine approval done on Friday

    Covid-19: F.D.A. Clears Pfizer Vaccine and Millions of Doses Will Be Shipped Right Away (Published 2020)

    The accelerated timeline comes after President Trump’s chief of staff threatened the F.D.A. head’s job if he didn’t get it done on Friday. The Trump Administration will buy another 100 million doses of Moderna vaccine.
    www.nytimes.com www.nytimes.com

    The F.D.A.’s decision followed an extraordinary sequence of events on Friday morning when the White House chief of staff, Mark Meadows, told the F.D.A. commissioner, Dr. Stephen Hahn, to consider looking for his next job if he didn’t get the emergency approval done on Friday, according to a senior administration official who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the matter. Dr. Hahn then ordered vaccine regulators at the agency to do it by the end of the day.

    i don't know what's going on with the quoting of my post too, but anyway...that's what I was getting at as well. He seems to have realized how big of a mess he got himself into and is looking to get fired to save his reputation. No one will forget him regardless.
