After his humiliating Christmas party (https://www.google.com/amp/s/news.yahoo.com/amphtml/report-hundreds-people-invited-mike-050400901.html), Mike Pompeo is now in quarantine after covid exposure (https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cnbc.com/amp/2020/12/16/secretary-of-state-mike-pompeo-will-quarantine-after-exposure-to-covid.html). They never learn, do they? 

 

"We want them infected". Honestly, isn't there any way that Trump and his henchmen can be charged with criminally negligent homicide/attempted homicide???

The prose is a shade purple...but it fits.

Apparently Trump has floated not leaving the White House on January 20th. Not surprising.

A point in favor of “delusional” comes via

CNN, which reports that Trump not only insists he actually won the 2020 election but has maintained at times that he will not vacate the premises on January 20, when his term ends. “In his moments of deepest denial,” it reports, “Trump has told some advisers that he will refuse to leave the White House on Inauguration Day, only to be walked down from that ledge.”

 

What are some other soap instances of characters being dragged out of a place? I know on B&B Stephanie had Thorne drag Donna out of the Forrester mansion and once had Brooke thrown out by security.

That's who this situation needs: Stephanie Forrester.  Or at least Susan Flannery.

 

But seriously.  I wouldn't put it past him to refuse to leave OR for the Secret Service (or whoever) to remove him.  In fact, at this point, I wouldn't be surprised to see Trump and his camp set up a sort of "second government" from within the WH (and if not there, then, ultimately, somewhere nearby).  Of course, the other branches of government would be forced to recognize Biden's administration as the only, legitimate administration.  But, like I said, I wouldn't put it past them.

 

  

I'm really enjoying the slow drip of cabinet picks. It reminds me that help is on the way.

 

 

 

And another historic pick. I like this but I also need this to be the last person he pulls from the House.

After Buttigeig was chosen for Transportation Secretary, I knew Biden would go with Haaland. The argument that Haaland has never run a department of that size as a means of eliminating her for contention for Secretary of the Interior fades away with the appointment of Buttigeig.

Biden truly is trying to demonstrate a willingness to incorporate the various constituencies and interests within the Democratic party, a delicate balance, for sure.

I think most of the picks have been exceptional. Buttigieg time will tell and Austin with the waiver needed(don;t like the idea of replicating anything Trump did) and Vilsack who I think is a terrible choice for Ag Secretary.  I thought Marcia Fudge was a shoe in for that.

Biden is a loyalist, and Vilsack has been very loyal to him. I felt bad for Fudge as the whole thing feels humiliating, but hopefully even though she did not want to go to HUD, she can help turn it around.

 

In abjectly terrifying news:

"GET OUT OF THIS HOUSE, YOU MISERABLE BASTARD! YOU LOST!" would definitely be a Stephanie line.

 

Silliness aside, I think Secret Service will have to put him out and might have to get DC Police involved. Anyway, not leaving the White House would do him no good because all security clearances and passwords will still be revoked on inauguration day. I also think that it's possible that Trump will try to start a shadow government, but not even Russia will recognize that and it will just be some weird cult like monarchy to bilk his supporters out of more money.
