    I'm sure Khalid Sheik Mohammad would play golf with him.

    How Is Trump's Lawyer Jenna Ellis 'Elite Strike Force' Material?

    excerpt:

    "Since she graduated law school in 2011, nothing in her record in the courtroom — limited mostly to appearances in state court as a prosecutor or as counsel for clients charged with assault, prostitution, theft and domestic abuse — shows any time spent litigating election law cases.

    She holds herself out as an expert on the Constitution based on her self-published book and her teaching of prelaw classes to undergraduates. She has never appeared in federal district or circuit court, where most constitutional matters are considered, according to national databases of federal cases, and does not appear to have played a major role in any cases beyond her criminal and civil work in Colorado."

    I'm not trying to be cute here .......... but many of Trump's base wouldn't even know the meanings of many of the words in such a book. It's a sad truth. I'm not saying every Trump follower - but many, many of them. I know a good number of hard-core Trump-base people. They really struggled in school, thought school was stupid, and to this day can't put clear sentences together that make sense. They can't spell for sh*t, never use punctuation when writing, and use slang words as though they were valid words found in a dictionary. How could they possibly read & comprehend a biography about Trump??

    And let's say that such a book would sell for $24.95. If it's between a case of beer, or a carton of cigarettes, or gas in the car, or groceries for the family .......... and buying a book about Trump ............ somehow I don't think that book is at the top of the list for much of his base. (hard to believe with all the high-paying jobs, and yearly $1000 bonuses & profit-sharing everyone is getting from the huge corporate tax breaks ...... right???)

    But they believe EVERY word that Trump says - sucking in the delusion that because Trump made lots of money (honestly? ....... with a "small loan of a million dollars from his father to get started" .... Trump's own words) - that he's going to get them all high-paying, secure jobs!!! Boy ............ now THAT'S drinking the KOOL-ADE. Complete faith in a no-good scoundrel of a grifter.

    The president has remained largely absent on a pandemic of historic proportions.
    By Ben Gittleson

    Trump fixated on his own political fate as virus kills record number of Americans

    excerpt:

    "A day after the United States' coronavirus daily death toll nearly surpassed the number killed in the Sept. 11 attacks, President Donald Trump remained out of sight -- fixated not on the raging pandemic but rather on his own political fate.

    The president made no public appearances Friday, a day after the United States recorded 2,879 Americans deaths caused by COVID-19, 217,664 confirmed cases of the virus and over 100,000 hospitalizations -- all records.

    Trump has spent his waning days in office not focused on leading the United States through a historic, deadly crisis but rather fundraising for his future political endeavors and sowing doubt in the country's democratic foundations."

    Supreme Court order, state GOP leaders effectively end Trump’s hope for Pa. legislators to reverse election results

    Supreme Court order, state GOP leaders effectively end Trump’s hope for Pa. legislators to reverse election results

    excerpt:

    "If its fate had not been abundantly clear already, President Donald Trump’s dream of having Pennsylvania’s GOP-controlled legislature overturn the state’s election results received what appeared to be its final death blows Thursday with a late-night order from the U.S. Supreme Court and an unequivocal statement from the General Assembly’s Republican leadership that they had no intention of doing so.

    The Supreme Court order came in response to a request from one of the president’s top boosters in Congress, U.S. Rep. Mike Kelly (R., Pa.), who has asked the justices to declare the state’s vote-by-mail law unconstitutional and to “decertify” Pennsylvania’s results, which cemented President-elect Joe Biden’s victory by roughly 81,000 votes last week."

    The leadership of the Republican-controlled state legislature in PA isn't going to give a slate of electors to Trump.


    Supreme Court order, state GOP leaders effectively end Trump’s hope for Pa. legislators to reverse election results

    excerpt:

    "But facing continued pressure from a segment of their party, Senate President Pro Tempore Jake Corman (R., Centre), and Majority Leader Sen. Kim Ward (R., Westmoreland), joined House Speaker Bryan Cutler (R., Lancaster) and Majority Leader Kerry Benninghoff (R., Centre) in issuing their most definitive statement yet declaring the matter dead.

    “The General Assembly lacks the authority to take action to overturn the popular vote and appoint our own slate of presidential electors,” it read, adding: “While we clearly recognize the need for legislative action to address the issues presented by the 2020 General Election, some of the actions requested by our residents would require us to disregard the statutes and Constitution we have fought so hard to protect.”"

    After a purge, Trump appoints Lewandowski and Bossie to Defense Business Board.



    Trump purges Pentagon advisory board and gives seats to former campaign managers

    Trump purges Pentagon advisory board and gives seats to former campaign managers - CNNPolitics


    excerpt:

    "President Donald Trump has purged a Pentagon business advisory board and replaced its members with his former campaign manager and deputy campaign manager, neither of whom have served in the military or have any apparent experience with the defense industry.

    Acting Defense Secretary Christopher Miller announced Friday that Trump loyalists Corey Lewandowski and David Bossie would be appointed to the Defense Business Board to partly replace nine members who were ousted earlier, according to a statement from the Pentagon. Politico was first to report on the departure of the nine members."

    Miller is the acting Defense Secretary because Trump fired Esper after the 2020 election via a tweet.

    Trump was frustrated that Esper didn't want to turn U.S. troops onto U.S. civilian demonstrators.

    Esper is the first Cabinet Secretary to exit during a lame duck period since the Johnson administration in 1968 during the height of the Vietnam war.

    Trump himself does not like to read. I doubt he had the attention span to read Charles Dickens.
