There's no way Trump could memorize a gold code.
He's be sitting there for hours trying to authorize the launch with "MAN CAMERA WOMAN TV" |

He doesn't have to memorize anything. But maybe somebody could steal his biscuit.

I'm trying to remember the name of the NAZI white supremacist on Trump's staff. The name totally escapes me. The guy had spoken brazenly of ending democracy in the US. Skinny bald guy
Help me. |

Lindsey Graham tweeted
@LindseyGrahamSC As President @realDonaldTrump stated last night, it is time to heal and move on. If Speaker Pelosi pushes impeachm ent in the last days of the Trump presidency it will do more harm than good.I’m hopeful President-elect Biden sees the damage that would be done from such action. |

Kaitlan Collins CNN
One of President Trump's closest confidants and top aides, Hope Hicks, is discussing resigning before he leaves office, according to two people. She has told people if she does, she would likely leave within the next 48 hours. It's not clear she has made a decision. |

Biden asked a question about whether he supports Trump's impeachment answers "I have thought for a long time that President Trump was not fit to hold the job. That is why I ran. What the Congress decides to do is for them to decide,"

... and Joe is glad that Trump isn't showing up on his inauguration.
ETA: ... but he'd "be honored" to have Pence there, because he says they should stick to the traditional ways of transfering power. On whether Ted Cruz etc. should resign, he essentially said "Naah... I just want to see them soundly beaten the next time." Which is good, although I fear the voters' political memory isn't anywhere near long enough. BTW, listening to Biden... at least when you know he was a stutterer, you can sort of hear the traces of that. But I must say that it's refreshing to listen to a soon-to-be-POTUS who not only speaks in full sentences but also makes coherent points and doesn't ooze BS. |

Right- after two months of doing his damndest to divide and fracture, enabled by folks like you, now, when there's no more place to retreat for either of you, is the time for healing. Maybe the time for worrying about whether actions could do more harm than good was when it was your actions that would be the difference.
So...**** you, Lindsey. |
