Barr's plan (and likely Trump's) was to replace Berman with some neophyte lackey from corporate law, while it was said quite some time ago that Berman would only step down if his deputy took his place and not someone with no experience.

 

And then it was all over. Geoffrey Berman says that now that the plan is to have his deputy take over, he will step down as US attorney in Manhattan.

There are rumors floating around that Tik Tok kids and K-Pop fans RSVPed for thousands of tickets as a joke. Don't know if it's at all true but it made me giggle. This must be embarrassing for the clown car known as Trump Inc. Anyway you look at it, they flopped.

It's true.

 

 

I just hope that the media doesn't use this to help Trump. It's not as if there was a ton of overflow crowd waiting to fill those seats.

Paltry rowd size will never explain word salad like this.

 

Remember when @weijia got dragged for saying a WH official said this to her? The president just said it onstage. https://t.co/veq6IM8oJ8

And racist word salad, at that.

 

 

 

 

I have some faith from these images that many people (not including the ones that played him for tickets with no intention of showing up) that follow him do seem to be taking the pandemic seriously, and are avoiding crowds no matter what his team says about COVID.  Which means they are questioning him.

 

And the tweet about the attacks not working as well this time because Biden is not as good a target as Clinton are correct from what I have seen and heard from my conservative relatives.  Fox News has spent 20 years solid painting Hillary as their big bad, only breaking from her at times to target Obama with racist attacks.  Biden is a newish target for them compared to the other two, doesn’t seem to generate the same conspiracy mania, and even though he has demonstrated legit concerns over the years they are more nuanced to turn into topics and haven’t had as much time to get their people in a mania about them.  It’s not like Fox is going to spend much time on Anita Hill in a sympathetic light to condemn Biden, for example.
