President and First Lady, Christmas 2018:
Aspiring to be American royal family:
On first full day as President, Trump stands before memorial wall of CIA officials “who gave their lives” to complain that press underestimated his inaugural crowd size—“It looked like a million and a half people”—& threaten reporters: “I think they’re going to pay a big price.”

Why are top members of an outgoing President's staff — four days before his term is done — now having an unannounced Saturday morning meeting at White House complex?

Yes, with both Kushners violating Shabbat to attend.
And for the thousand time, where is Pence and what is he doing?

Mr. Pillow has arrived at the White House to “cushion” the blow.

That Lincoln bust being carried away had better not belong to the permanent White House collection:

Make sure that Giuliani does not grab and resell the George Washington portrait that hangs in the White House East Room in payment of his Trump legal bills.
And no, Trump’s relatives are not legally permitted to take “souvenirs” home from the permanent White House collection of paintings, furniture and artifacts.

Do we feel safe with the security of President-elect Biden and Vice President-elect Harris provided by intelligence agencies, Secret Service and other government institutions that are under Donald Trump’s control till noon on January 20th? Every precaution must be taken.
Nixon talked on secret tapes about putting loyalists on Ted Kennedy’s Secret Service detail, said to aide, "Plant two guys on him.” Nixon also discussed revoking Kennedy’s protection, saying, "If he gets shot, it's too damn bad.”
Anyone think Trump wouldn’t descend to this level?
What assurance do we have that White House Family Quarters will be safe, sanitary and secure immediately after noon on January 20, 2021? Sorry to bring up delicate subjects, but the issue is too important to the country.

Josh Hawley may remind some Americans of Joe Cantwell, the malicious, corner-cutting Presidential candidate in “The Best Man” (1964), played by Cliff Robertson, whose mother-in-law, in real life, built Mar-a-Lago:
"If Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley had a conscience, he’d resign. He’ll have to be removed,” says Kansas City Star.
Simon & Schuster has just cancelled publication of Josh Hawley’s forthcoming book, reports @NYTimes:

McConnell is rising to the historical occasion.
McConnell should have drawn this line against Trump long ago.
All through history, Presidents have been disciplined by courageous leaders of their own party in Congress, but, in defiance of this history, Trump has been allowed to run roughshod for four years.
