Gotta love it when they start eating their own.
You would think they would know that these charlatans always over promise and under deliver. It has been ever thus. As they turn on Rudi - how long before Trump does the same? After all he needs to retain his fascist base of vileness for the grift to continue post January, and these morons who fell for the nonsense still expect action and some kind of hail mary to 'save' dear leader. Trump needs to throw them a bone or two... seems like Colludy Giuliani is a good a place to start as any...
Those with an ethical and intellectual deficit are not known for their patience...

I know that she is batshit cray cray and everything she spouts is bollocks but I could really buy into this message...

As sure as night follows day...
How do we know that the traitors in the senate have finally acknowledged that President-Elect Biden will be residing in the WH in January? By their ramping up the deficit hawkery and ratfuckery with immediate effect and to be continued for the next four years...
Could their mendacity and hypocrisy be any more transparent? They are shameless. Utterly and completely barefaced in their crooked duplicity. These faux "constitutional warriors," who assert themselves to be "constitutional conservatives" supposedly defending their "constitutional republic" from all manner of "government tyranny," when a democrat resides in the WH, is a far cry from the reality and you have to be terminally stupid as a voter not to see it. Every time a republican seizes the reigns of power in 3…2…1… Deficits? What’s a deficit in comparison to BUILD THAT WALL and tax cuts for the wealthiest. Priorities people. Budget smudget. Government bailouts for banks and corporations are not handouts to the 1%, honest guv. 👀
We all know that building a deficit under conservative control is a vital tool to retain power and control and line their grasping wallets with grift. When a democratic White House be like, time to get back to being righteous as a nation and serve the common good well then, Lindsey and his ilk get their deficits fans out and proceed to have a deficit fainting fit.
As disgusting as it is predictable.
Right on schedule...

Vice President Mike Pence: "[Democrats] want to make rich people poorer, and poor people more comfortable."
Wait? What? We want to tax the rich and support the poor to have better life chances. Who knew? Dammit the VP Grift a Lot must have got hold of our commielibrul decoder ring and figured out our secret undertaking.... you know Operation Being A Decent Human Being. The horror!
Shock. Horror. Say it isn't so?

I’m always amused when Republicans (accidentally) accurately describe the left’s goals and... they’re perfectly reasonable and popular and it isn’t the gotcha that the GOP thinks it is.

"The number of senior officials who quit on principle is close to zero. The number of former Cabinet officials who came forward during the impeachment to give testimony is zero. In many cases, aides personally broke norms and laws. How many Hatch Act violations did they commit? How many officials pushed through a national security clearance for Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, when he objectively would not qualify for one in a normal administration? How many took to social media to deceive their fellow Americans? Trump could do what he did because of the John Kellys, the Kayleigh McEnanys, the Kellyanne Conways and many other aides whose names are not familiar to us,"
Exactly this. They cannot get to rehabilitate themselves. They all played the toxic game and they must all pay the price...

https://twitter.com/JRubinBlogger/status/1340710125955403776 That these people are suffering damage to their credibility and condemnation from their fellow Americans is a positive sign our body politic still retains an appreciation for democracy and a moral compass.

Pentagon in shock as Trump's new defense chief orders a department-wide halt to cooperation with...
...Biden’s transition teamActing Defense Secretary Chris Miller has ordered the Pentagon to “halt cooperation with the transition of President-elect Biden” — a move that has Defense Department officials baffled.
“A top Biden official was unaware of the directive. Administration officials left open the possibility cooperation would resume after a holiday pause. The officials were unsure what prompted Miller’s action, or whether President Trump approved,” Axios reported.
----
“Blocking the transition could have slowed down vaccine rollout. But they didn’t care,” the group said in a tweet. “Pausing Pentagon cooperation with the transition could put people in danger. But they don’t care.”

What a difference an election makes...
From Trumps VERY white, VERY male, VERY pale and VERY stale White House to Joe Bidens cabinet... sums up the starkness of the difference between the two men and their belief systems in a way nothing else could.
All of the firsts!

Suddenly, this is the most polite WH in history. “Pardon me.” “No, pardon me.” Etc.
[link:https://edition.cnn.com/2020/12/16/politics/donald-trump-pardons-lame-duck/index.html|]
Emphasis mine.
The stench of corruption will be forever on them. As someone said on the interwebs a few days ago, you have to admit your guilt to receive a pardon and these are some of the guiltiest fuckers of any administration ever.
The 'Law and Order' President, once again demonstrating his complete and utter contempt for the rule of law. I mean cone on, pardoning his own CFO, for illegal shit he did at Trumps behest? Straight up in your face middle finger to the norms of governance. Would not have expected anything less...
Remember in the before times when people at least understood they were supposed to have a sense of shame? Let us get back to that in the aftertimes. Let this shameless corruption be put where it needs to be...

If there is a governing principle in who appears most likely to secure clemency, it is someone the President either knows personally or who has powerful connections lobbying on their behalf. At least one person working on behalf of clients seeking pardons said they hoped their loyalty to Trump over the past four years would pay off now......In all, the President is considering pardons for more than two dozen people in his orbit whom he believes were targeted -- or could be targeted in the future -- for political ends....Instead, Trump has focused more on those within his own circle, including Michael Flynn, his former national security adviser whom he pardoned last month.
Another name among the many under consideration for clemency: Allen Weisselberg, the chief financial officer of the Trump Organization, who has come under scrutiny by investigators for his role in hush money payments.
As of this week, officials said a preemptive pardon for Trump himself has also not been ruled out.
