[I'm thinking of inviting readers to compete picking the date on which the post-Biden president will be sworn in. Readers can express it as a date certain or a distribution (say, a Gaussian or a MAB) on the calendar. Selecting a date certain (i.e. 20 January 2025) makes sense only if you believe that Biden will serve out a full term, otherwise … . Maybe I'll even make a donation to the winner's favorite tax-deductible organization. Thoughts? gjr]

HP is moving it’s headquarters to the new computer manufacturing facilities in Texas and leaving the plants in CA. Man, if Wells Fargo or any of the Fortune 500 companies headquartered in Frisco or LA moved out of state, boy that would mean a lot of lost revenue for the state and put the hurts on the cities. Mucho bucks. You don’t need to move it all out of state. Carl Jr’s moved its headquarters out and left the burger joints here. The corporate taxes go to their new home, all in all. Same with HP. Do you want to pay CA tax or Texas tax? Do your employees want to move also and buy a house with a yard and no sales taxes?

Why such bitterness directed at Barry? It is because he dared, dared I say, to run against the candidate that Pig Wiggly donated $500 to to get his man elected? Is it Wally? The man with a tan won, which should have been the end of the story with normal people. Opps, Barry was running for something, not against something. It’s all how you look at it. It’s not personal…for those without OCD and inflated ego. Inflated like a Macy’s Christmas Day Parade big a Bibendum—the adorably puffy white mascot of the Michelin Man, Bib for short.

“What you guys don’t get is that on Jan 20th President Trump becomes Mr. Trump….”
Oh RX one. You are as bad as Punchy when it comes to projecting and assuming and connecting dots.
What in the heck makes you think we just don’t get it? Hmmm. It’s a given for years now. 20 gazillion lawsuits for sexual harassment and probably rumors of rape and peeing on a Moscow bed the Obama’s slept on. Another 50 lawsuits about Trump’s taxes, campaign violations (civil court), and probably something filed against Trump and his family from every Dem State AG from New England to Hawaii. It’s been baked into the cake for 4 years now.
RX Crosstops, tell us….er…..me something new for once. Please. I beg of you. Just once is all I ask. I knew that Trump would be impeached for something before he was ever sworn it in 2017. Everybody knew cause that’s what your news sources were clamoring for, demanding, and creating the echo chamber to have it happen. Impeachment was baked into the cake at least two years prior to whenever he got impeached. Maybe 3 years.
I did not know the details in November 2016 of what exactly the Impeachment grounds would be, but everybody knew it was coming. The details and evidence was not necessary. The timelines and dates were not necessary. I figured it would be over some Russian Collusion Delusion or any one of a number of excuses. He has to go!
I love the pending case working its way through the system (formerly 1 of 3 such cases) about Trump shredding our Constitution by the violating the emoluments clause!! It still makes me laugh. The suit is being brought by a quite upset DC restauranteur because all the foreign diplomats flying in the Capital are dining at the Trump International Hotel, Washington and at not his establishment. He is losing money. It’s not like it used to be before Trump. Trump is enriching himself by taking money from foreigners each and every time when they wine and dine in style, just 5 minutes from the White House at the Hotel. Violation! Throw Trump in the Black Hole of Calcutta and let him eat rats. Wonder what that restauranteur thinks of the C-19 lockdowns, roflmao.
Spare me.
Again, my Moral Better, exactly why do you think “you guys don’t get it”? We get it load and clear. Not because of anything Trump has yet to be proven he done did, but solely because “we guys” know beyond a reasonable doubt how evil you and yours truly are.

‘Kook Conspiracy Zone on CNN: Trump Trading Giuliani Pardon for Silence?’
“If you’ve got an unproven, wacky conspiracy theory you would like to float, try CNN. Chances are, the “journalists” there will take it. So long as it targets a Republican, of course.
On today’s New Day, CNN legal analyst Elie Honig floated the possibility that President Trump might be making a deal with Giuliani to grant him a pardon in return for Rudy’s silence on Trump’s ostensible misdeeds. Honig, of course, offered no evidence in support of his slimy suggestion.
CNN’s Laura Jarrett [daughter of Obama aide Valerie] suggested that the fact that Giuliani might be requesting a pardon is evidence of consciousness of guilt. No—it’s evidence that Rudy might understandably be concerned about possible retribution from a Biden administration. But the others loved Laura’s suggestion. Co-host John Berman gave it a “ding, ding, ding!”, and guest co-host Erica Hill enthused: “such a great point!”

‘Nets Push Trump Family Pardon Speculation, Ignored Obama Helping Terrorist’
“ For two evenings now, all three of the broadcast networks have peddled unsubstantiated claims from anonymous sources claiming President Trump talking about issuing pardons to himself and his adult children. Both ABC and CBS made sure to make comparisons to President Richard Nixon, with the former straight-up lying about the source of the speculation and claiming it came from the President himself.
Meanwhile, none of these networks cared when President Obama commuted the sentence of unrepentant, Puerto Rican terrorist Oscar Lopez-Rivera. They also praised the commutation of Chelsea Manning, who leaked sensitive U.S. intelligence that ended up in the hands of Osama bin Laden.
Suggestions that the President was looking to pardon his adult children and himself stemmed from a Tuesday New York Times report. In the first paragraph, the paper admits the claims came from “two people briefed on the matter,” which was code for ‘anonymous sources.’
But on ABC’s World News Tonight Wednesday, chief White House correspondent Jon Karl lied to viewers and claimed Trump was the source of the reporting:
“The President also suggested he’s concerned he may be prosecuted after leaving office. Just as his allies are talking about preemptive pardons for members of the Trump family and even Trump himself. It’s unclear if he could pardon himself, but in the past, he has said he has the power to do it.“

“The group, The New Georgia Project, was founded by former Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams to help register new voters. Ultimately, the 2014 investigation found no wrongdoing by the group, but did cite 14 people for forging 53 voter applications. All those cited were working as independent contractors, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
On Wednesday, Raffensperger announced an investigation into several progressive organizations he alleged “sought to register ineligible, out-of-state, or deceased voters” for the Jan. 5 Senate runoff elections. Among those named are Vote Forward, The New Georgia Project, Operation Voter Registration GA and America Votes.
GEORGIA GROUP FOUNDED BY STACEY ABRAMS UNDER INVESTIGATION FOR SEEKING OUT-OF-STATE, DEAD VOTERS
“I have issued clear warnings several times to groups and individuals working to undermine the integrity of elections in Georgia through false and fraudulent registrations,” said Raffensperger in a statement. “The security of Georgia’s elections is of the utmost importance. We have received specific evidence that these groups have solicited voter registrations from ineligible individuals who have passed away or live out of state. I will investigate these claims thoroughly and take action against anyone attempting to undermine our elections.””
