Joe Biden is now POTUS



That’s the catch! Just because someone title says “D or R” doesn’t mean they’ll operate as you think. It wouldn’t surprise me at all if there are Rs that run as D just o hold that office and fuck shit up when it suits the cause. It’s another long game strategy aka spies and sabotage.

In this case I would think the push is for the difference. 2000-300 = $1,700
 
WTF?!?!?!?

These politicians are going to find Post-Trump is going to be hard. THey are FOREVER stained with their attachment to that piece of crap. People and their rivals will never let them forget it.

Worst, We haven't learned 99% of the stuff that was going on in the WH. Give it a few weeks/months after Trump leaves office and all that information starts coming out. It's going to make it worst for them considering they knew about all of it and still did nothing.

Cats like Romney, to a small degree, are the only ones that can kinda hold there heads up high after Trump. One of the only top GOP people that publically spoke out against Trump. The rest were silent as mouse and complicit.

Lady G is already trying the bullshit "Let's just move on" strategy...No bitch! That's not going to work.
I agree with this post. What the republicans did not factor in was Trump behavior. People like Pence and other republicans had their agendas but there was a limit. They still had morals and certain lines they would not cross.

What they did not see or turned a blind eye was to Trumps ways. Trump has no limits. He is a get at all cost type of person. There is not a line he would not cross to get what he wanted or felt he deserved. People dying in the riots or cabinet members dying in the process, meant nothing to him as long as he became president. It was not until Trump put their lives in danger, basically putting out a hit on them before they opened their eyes to see how dangerous he was.
 

White House in 'crisis management' mode: lawyers being consulted about potential impeachment

(CNN)Outside lawyers are being sought for consultation by the White House about the prospect of a last minute, rapid impeachment of President Donald Trump, a source familiar with the matter said.

The source said at this point lawyers advising the White House believe there is not enough time logistically for Democrats to move articles of impeachment out of the House and into the hands of senators for a speedy removal of the President before January 20.
But the source said lawyers for the President have started to game out the impeachment possibility as the likelihood of Vice President Mike Pence and the Cabinet invoking the 25th Amendment seems remote.

The source added the President's attorneys have been consulted about the language used in Trump's video messages in the aftermath of the Capitol riots. During that process, White House counsel Pat Cipollone and chief of staff Mark Meadows went to Trump to urge him to record the videos to save his presidency and hold off efforts to remove him from office.

White House counsel considering resigning, source says


Cipollone is now considering resigning, two sources familiar with his thinking told CNN's Pamela Brown. Since the election, he had considered it multiple times but has been urged to stay for the good of the country by members of the Senate and the Cabinet.

Cipollone defended the President during impeachment proceedings over phone calls with the leader of Ukraine, but his potential exit raises questions about who would represent Trump if current impeachment talks pick up more steam. Cipollone's participation is now highly unlikely.
The White House is in "crisis management" mode following the siege at the Capitol, the source said.
"The lawyers are involved," the source said.

Meetings have been almost non-stop inside the White House to hash out plans to bring the Trump presidency to an end in the least chaotic way possible, the source said.

"Can you land the plane with 12 days left," the source said, summing up the goal of the remaining staffers and advisers around the President.
 
Corporate America is finally divorcing Trump

New York (CNN Business)Lured by his promises of fat tax cuts and deregulation, Corporate America enthusiastically backed President Donald Trump following his shocking 2016 victory.
But the relationship broke down as Trump failed to condemn racism, attacked major American companies, ignored the climate crisis and imposed tariffs. And the divorce was completed in spectacular fashion this week after Trump incited an angry mob that assaulted the US Capitol.
When Trump took office, the business community initially praised the self-styled CEO president's pro-business agenda: In late 2016, the influential lobbying group Business Roundtable cheered Trump's economic team and tax cut promises. The following year Jay Timmons, CEO of the National Association of Manufacturers, urged lawmakers to back Trump's infrastructure plan and said "all of Congress needs to get onboard the 'Trump train."
Both parties struck an entirely different tone this week with the insurrection on the US Capitol, a symbol of American democracy, proving to be the final straw.



Donald Trump should be removed from office to preserve democracy, business leaders say

The Business Roundtable slammed US politicians for spreading the "fiction of a fraudulent" election, warning it's a threat to democracy and the economy. Leading CEOs condemned the violence.
And in perhaps the strongest political statement by a major business group in modern history, Timmons -- a former GOP operative -- called on Vice President Mike Pence and the Cabinet to consider removing Trump from power: "This is chaos. It is mob rule. It is dangerous. This is sedition and it should be treated as such."
close dialog


But critics say business leaders should have condemned Trumpism far earlier and in some ways enabled him.

"This is a lesson in not standing up to bullies," said Eleanor Bloxham, CEO of the Value Alliance, a firm that advises boards on corporate governance practices. "By embracing Trump, they were enabling a very narrow perspective, not a long-term one."
Senator Sherrod Brown, the ranking Democrat on the Senate Banking Committee, suggested the timing of the divorce was convenient.
"These CEOs have already gotten their tax cuts, deregulation and pro-corporate judges. They don't really need Trump anymore, so they can finally do the right thing," Brown told CNN Business in an interview on Thursday. "It's nice they stepped up with such great courage with 13 days left in the Trump administration."

'Oh no, Trump'
To be fair, the relationship between Trump and Corporate America has always been full of ups and downs. And CEOs did provide critical moments of moral leadership during the turbulent Trump era.
Back at the beginning, big business did not back Trump's candidacy.
"In the primaries, the feeling seemed to be, 'Oh no, Trump,'" Bloxham recalled of her conversations in 2015 and 2016 with generally Republican-leaning board members.
After Trump won the nomination, many business leaders threw their weight behind Hillary Clinton.
"They never saw him as one of them," said Jeffrey Sonnenfeld, founder of Yale University's Chief Executive Leadership Institute. Sonnenfeld recalled that some executives who are active CEOs today threatened to walk out when he brought Trump to a business summit around 2006.
Wait, there's tax cuts?
But once Trump won the White House, the industry saw him as a vehicle for the pro-business agenda they craved -- especially on tax cuts.
"In January 2017, there was great enthusiasm. He was speaking their language," said Sonnenfeld. "The business community was quite excited."
By the end of 2017, Trump delivered by enacting sweeping corporate tax cuts that the White House promised would create a roaring economy.

Democracy is under attack. And Wall Street is sounding the alarm

"The Business Roundtable did a deal with the devil," said Sonnenfeld.
Trump's tax cuts had a greater impact on Wall Street than Main Street. A lasting acceleration in job-creating investments never materialized, with the windfall largely going toward stock buybacks, dividends and mergers. By early 2019, Bank of America economists dubbed it the "investment boom that wasn't."
Beyond tax cuts, Trump set in motion a wave of deregulation that the business community was clamoring for after eight years of the Obama administration. And he appointed pro-business judges, including three conservatives to the Supreme Court.
"They got most of what they wanted," said Ed Mills, Washington policy analyst at Raymond James.
Clashes over race, climate and immigration
But relations began to fray in the summer of 2017.
First, business leaders including former Disney (DIS) CEO Bob Iger and Tesla (TSLA) CEO Elon Musk slammed Trump's decision to withdraw the United States from the Paris climate agreement.

Why Wall Street can disregard protests, assassinations and riots

And then CEOs led by Merck (MRK) boss Ken Frazier quit Trump's business councils in August 2017 after the president initially failed to condemn white supremacists at a rally in Charlottesville, Virginia. The advisory committees eventually disbanded, delivering a startling rebuke to the president.
"They didn't want to be on the wrong side of history," said Sonnenfeld.
Silicon Valley and other major US businesses have also repeatedly pushed back on Trump's immigration curbs, especially Dreamers, Sonnenfeld noted, saying "the business community has been one of the strongest voices in fighting the extremes of the Trump administration's policies such as immigration."
Too toxic?
The question now is whether business leaders will offer support to the Trump movement after his term ends January 20.
Trump and his surrogates have vowed to mount well-funded primary challenges to sitting Republicans who refused to back his attempt to overturn the election.

"You've got a lot of Republican businessmen wondering: Am I going to latch onto this Trump movement because it's still low-tax and pro-energy?" said Michael Cembalest, chairman of market and investment strategy at JPMorgan Asset Management in an interview conducted before Wednesday's siege on the Capitol.

"On the other hand, there is a lot of other stuff that goes with the Trump movement: anti-trade, intensely anti-immigration and arguably a degree of authoritarianism that isn't in sync with the party," he added.

Bloxham, the Value Alliance CEO, said much will depend on whether Trump faces serious consequences, such as impeachment or invocation of the 25th Amendment, before his term ends.

"If there is a strong response," Bloxham said, "then the Trump brand will be much more toxic."

Democrats could bring articles of impeachment to House floor as soon as next week, CNN reports

On Friday, Assistant House Speaker Katherine Clark told CNN that a House impeachment vote could happen by next week if the 25th Amendment is not invoked, which Vice President Mike Pence is said to oppose. Elected officials and members of the private sector have called this week for the president’s removal from office following the January 6 attack on the US Capitol building by a mob of Trump



 
I'm just saying, can I get a little credit for first bringing up a second impeachment earlier this week? Cats laughed at me talking about it would just be symbolic....
Cats, plural? Nope, that was just me. I don't remember the laughing part though. :dunno:
