Per pool, President Trump just spent a portion of his final Friday as president meeting with...the My Pillow guy in the Oval Office.
The pool report suggest Trump hadn't even been in the Oval prior to Lindell's visit at 3pm. Presumably only came down to meet with him. Image
WaPo photographer got a close-up of the My Pillow guy's notes.

Hard to read. Seems to push for using "martial law if necessary."

References Sidney Powell and, I think, an attorney at the NSA ("Fort Mead" sic). Advocates for Trump to "move Kash Patel to acting CIA" Image
WTAF is happening?
"It’s hard to characterize how bizarre and outrageous this is." washingtonpost.com/politics/2021/…

‘I just want to find 11,780 votes’ - Trump, in an hour-long call, pressuring Georgia secretary of state to recalculate the vote in his favor washingtonpost.com/politics/trump…
Oh Lordy, there are tapes
Bet y'all didn't expect Trump to prove election fraud exists by possibly committing election fraud

He sold himself as the greatest negotiator and dealmaker in history, but now he can't even get his own party to support something that his opponents already want.
He spent weeks obsessing over election fraud conspiracy theories while a bill was negotiated and passed by Congress, then he demanded something his own allies don't even want.

Now millions face the loss of unemployment benefits, eviction, and a possible government shutdown.

As election officials and their families get death threats and armed militias show up on their lawn to try to intimidate them into overturning the election, I'm reminded of the impassioned calls for "civility" we heard this summer and how conspicuously silent they are right now.
I may have missed it, but have Republican members of Congress spoken out forcefully about this?
Have I missed the powerful, unified message from Republican leadership calling for this kind of thing to stop?

"I have one company and my name is on it," Parscale says, apparently forgetting that he was already caught setting up a different shell corporation that was paid millions by pro-Trump outside groups and remains in good standing with the state of Delaware.
"I own the company solely," Parscale said of Red State Data and Digital, which notably does not have his name on it citizensforethics.org/reports-invest…
Also, what is it with the RNC and mysterious shell companies? propublica.org/article/the-rn…

1/ I have a gnawing fear that after Trump leaves office, a lot of people will tune out, feeling like the end of a presidency defined by corruption solves the corruption problem itself.

That would be a mistake. Trump is a symptom of problems that will continue after he leaves.
2/ Don't get me wrong. Trump is certainly a uniquely corrupt politician, but he was enabled by a system that was already broken.

Just as with Watergate, the work of installing guardrails and creating a less corrupt, more equitable system will go on for years after he is gone.
3/ Trump didn't break the system. The system was broken when he came in.

His recent formation of a leadership PAC is a perfect example of that. Leadership PACs have been around for decades and, long ago, devolved into slush funds for politicians washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/…

It wasn't until recently when I was listening to this that it struck me how many covers they played during this show. Nearly half the songs are covers, and three are Meat Puppets songs, which they brought the guys out to play with them.

For some reason, that makes me feel good.
I've said this before, but this is how I came to love Dave Grohl, even though I'm not a big Foo Fighters fan. He was doing one of those live radio shows one day, and he kept talking about bands he loved, and then being like "Oh can I play one of their songs!"
He was supposed to be promoting Foo Fighters, but you could tell he just loved music and didn't give a shit if he was promoting himself or someone else.
