I guess Gov RINO Ducey will have a primary in his future. ? The Republicans need to figure out how to expell all the Trumpkins or they never will be respectable again.

Nothing if not predictable

Not a covid story just a story how Trump took chunks out of the government literally.

In other, better news:

Trump's private bankers resign from Deutsche Bank

The private bankers responsible for lending to President Donald Trump and Jared Kuschner have resigned from Deutsche Bank, the bank said.

I am sure they are well compensated for their time spend (I want to avoid saying "their services"). But well, gone is gone. The fact that the bank has announced that they are leaving points to no more easy credits for the Trumps, at least that's what I hope.

Hey, this crazy guy is saying he might not leave again.

And here is the uncut version straight from the White House account.

I agree with every single argument made here:

President Trump has reached new levels of corruption, and the party of "Law & Order" is more or less silent. I hope someone has the guts to challenge those pardon in court, as they are clearly the result of corruption. Several of those pardoned were convicted for crimes committed to the benefit of the man handing out the pardons. If that isn't corruption, the nothing is.

The Republicans in the Senate had enough evidence to remove him from office after he was Impeached but went with party over country. What makes you think they will take him to task now?

One might think that they saw his defeat a way to get rid of him, prevent him from running in 2024.
