Continuing the gastrointestinal theme, ex-President has just announced that David Gasser will be replaced as impeachment lawyer by Bruce Castor.
Trump’s previous impeachment lawyers reportedly could no longer “stomach” his false claim that the 2020 election was stolen from him.
Which recalls the Three Stooges classic “Oily to Bed, Oily to Rise” (1939):
No, before its sad demise, Trump University had no law school.
William Barr, wherever he may be sheltering, has made no comment on the ex-President’s new impeachment defense team.

Someone has spray-painted the word “Unfair!’ on Presidential bedroom wall at White House. Could paint crew come to the second floor, please?
Yes, we hope it’s only paint.
Would be grateful if everyone could please keep an eye on eBay today to make sure that nobody upstairs at the White House is trying to sell off the Lincoln Bed or a Gilbert Stuart painting for quick cash.

Tonight, in our beloved country:
"Defense officials tell AP they fear possible inside attack at inauguration, will have National Guard troops vetted.”
This AP report about fears of “possible inside attack” shows why security and safety must overwhelm any other consideration when President and Vice President are sworn in on Wednesday.
Please reconsider possibility of inauguration at military base or another fortified location. Symbolism must bow to safety.

Now Lindsey Graham is pleading by letter with the new Senate Majority Leader, Mr. Schumer, to shut down Trump’s impeachment trial, on grounds of avoiding “further division.” Graham claims that otherwise “history will judge us harshly."
Chutzpah, thy name is Lindsey Graham.
In the LBJ lexicon for politicians for whom he had contempt, Lindsey Graham would qualify as a “squealing worm."

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?
