Tick, tick, tick! The loser will be out of the Oval Office soon and the world will rejoice.
@Rothko posted:Yes, he will be flying to PBI on Wednesday morning and will be staying at Mar-a-Lago. Not sure how that is going to work since his agreement with the Town of Palm Beach is that he can only live there for 21 days a year. And the Town will certainly move to enforce the agreement. So I predict that he will buy another house in Palm Beach nearby and live there, just going to the club in the daytime.
Even if he does make Palm Beach his permanent residence, you won't see him around the Town. His MO has always been to spend his time almost exclusively at Mar-a-Lago and the Trump golf resort in West Palm Beach. You never saw him at restaurants or on Worth Avenue or clubs or events outside the walls of Mar-a-Lago. He was always persona non grata at the other clubs on the island. The Shiny Sheet had a great article yesterday about how some members of Mar-a-Lago are dropping their memberships; seems like they don't want to be associated with him anymore and the luster of dining next to the President at the club no longer has appeal. Plus, the planes out of PBI will no longer be diverted away from Mar-a-Lago, so it's going to be noisy again at the club. The word is also that the City of West Palm is looking into whether they can now terminate the golf course lease for the Trump International club.
I've heard that Don, Jr. is looking to buy something in Jupiter. It sure as heck won't be on Jupiter Island, that's for sure.
And there was an article about how Ivanka and Jared, who are building on Indian Creek, are going to be blackballed at the Indian Creek Country Club - since it only takes one member to blackball and several have already said they would if they applied. A great quote was from someone saying that they could drive up to Mar-a-Lago to have lunch instead (a long trip for lunch). Someone else said that, to save face, they shouldn't bother applying to the Indian Creek club at all.
So, it is going to be interesting to have all of the Trumps down here in South Florida. The fact is, I think they are going to quickly find that their power and influence will diminish greatly after January 20th.
They can buy in Trump Jupiter, free golf, no travel off site. Stay away from me!!

I’m going to try and ignore 45 and his brainless minions going forward. I hope I’m moderately successful as I’m more than ready to turn the page.

With 70% of Republicans believing the Big Lie about the election, that's going to be a hard page to turn. Trump, as we all know and everyone's now seen very clearly, is just a symptom of the cancer lying underneath our society.
And yet, this is a new day.
Biden was inaugurated at about noon. I was driving at about 4PM and turned on a station to get news, and heard a right wing talk show host blasting the Biden policies. 4 hours after he took office.
Geez.

Just saw a guy on Fox say that Biden will be forced by the radical right to implement policies like abortion on demand or after birth. So abortion can be after birth? I learn so much watching Fox News!!!

Hey, Irwin. I heard your R-congressman got caught trying to pack heat into the House chamber. Claims he has gotten threats from "someone" who was released and is awaiting trial. Trump supporter?
Congressman Harris is a very conservative Republican. I don't live in his district. He lives around 8 miles from our house. He is Maryland's sole Republican congressman. Maryland is horribly gerrymandered. He is an anesthesiologist by profession and is opposed to universal health insurance. His District borders the Chesapeake Bay, which is a critical economic area and very important to keep pristine, and he has gotten miserable ratings from environmental groups. When the House voted 371 to 18 to denounce Q-Anon, he voted "present". He has opposed any restrictions relating to Covid. He supports the current dictator in Hungary. He has pledged to serve only 6 terms, and just got elected to his 6th term. He'll probably run again anyway. I don't understand why he thinks he needs a gun on the house floor, or in his office, or in committee hearings. But, his constituents love guns and think the 2nd amendment means that no gun restrictions are permissible. So, this affair yesterday where he tried to bring a gun onto the House floor will probably not matter to his constituents.
Nice job Time:
I was actually a little surprised how quickly his office was ready for him to sign executive orders that afternoon from the resolute desk.

No actual work had been done there for months. Move a few boxes of crap out, spray with disinfectant, good to go.

Competent experienced professional bureaucrats can do the needful pretty quickly if they've received clear sensible directions. Must have been a breath of fresh air for them.

Makes me wonder what the Pences were up to at the Observatory.
Either they never sat by the fireplace in their four years there or they just didn't give a shit about having the residence ready for the the new occupants. Poor form. No surprise.

CA has paid $11 BILLION in EDD payments, and maybe as much as $30 BILLION, to fraudulent claimants, many who are imprisoned. At the same type, we have botched the vaccine distribution (one of the worst performing states) and have now gone to a third party to straighten the mess out. No telling what that will cost. Don't even ask about the DMV fiasco. So much for the Golden State. It was, in 1960.
Hey tell Insight, formally Prosys, he's predicting Newsom is going to run for president. Though I don't believe the vaccine rollout is botched; it's pretty much the way I expected it to go.

What are "EDD" payments?
In the first federal stimulus, payments went to imprisoned people, because the law that was passed did not say they were excluded. In its haste to provide money to people who need it, the lawmakers and their assistants didn't think through everything. (Hardly novel).

California's unemployment checks.
