Trump does this to Bill Barr too, despite Barr being his biggest supporter. It exposes Barr as a liar and Trump a dumbass. But Trump cant help himself. He has to be Big Boy In Charge, even when his subordinates are trying to insulate him.

If you haven’t yet read Emily Murphy’s official letter from the GSA. I’d implore you to. She claims in the letter that Trump didn’t order her to delay the transition, but Trump tweeted that he’s now finally ordered her to sign off on it.

Tomorrow, an armored truck will pull up to the Biden transition team HQ and unload the first installment of $7 million in government funds ... in pennies.

That tweet has “Ivanka” all over it. Trump probably hasn’t even seen it. And his “white knighting” is predictable.

I’m guessing it’s because she was summoned to give a briefing to key members of the House of Representatives tomorrow, to see whether she and the rest of her merry band of idiots have to testify at a congressional hearing.

She was facing the prospect of being questioned by Katie Porter. NO ONE who is doing wrong wants to be grilled by Rep. Porter.

I’m impressed that they managed to contradict each other while still lying through their teeth. Truly, courses will be taught on this administration.

What’s the betting odds that Emily Murphy suddenly found herself in the spotlight and suffered enough backlash to cave vs she discovered her spine and did the right thing?

I want to put $20 on backlash.

“Please know that I came to my decision independently, based on the law and available facts,” Murphy wrote. “When it became clear to me that Trump’s attempted Coup would likely fail I decided to avoid jail time by doing the right thing. I was directly pressured by the Executive Branch —specifically Donald Trump—…

At least she finally did her duty to her country instead tying up government business out of misplaced loyalty to a dude who would throw her under the bus, back it up, and drive over her again without a second thought.

Plus, Charlie Kaufman worked on the initial script. I’m at least curious about this thing.

wake me up when one of Ivanka’s friends wants to talk about this

We are so close to the vaccine. It’s hard to say no to everything. There are some calculated risks we can take - read the science. Outdoors, distanced, no large gatherings, etc. But some things are a no. I don’t do anything indoors unmasked, at all.

It’s like, did anyone remember Glenn Beck after he left Fox News to make his own “media empire”? And Beck is probably the better businessman.

This is OT, but you should read this live thread of today’s hearing in the AZ election “fraud” lawsuit. It is . . . something.

They’re putzes, schmendricks (esp Jared), schmekels, schmucks, shlemiels, fercockt, khazers, and I don’t like them, either.

L’hitraot, you entitled, narcissistic, worthless cretins. Don’t let the door hit you in the tuchus on the way out.

I saw someone say the unofficial state motto is “fuck around and find out” :D

Can’t say as I’m a huge fan of our mayor in general, but I fucking love Philly. Of COURSE it’s a huge dance party to drown out Trump supporters at the convention center. Of COURSE when Trump supporters say they want to come down here and cause trouble we’re all saying BRING IT. If he tries to stifle our voice I can…
