    I doubt Trump would mind. Not that he'll succeed.

    A US federal judge has thwarted Trump’s biggest attempt to stifle the H-1B visa

    would have made it harder for the millions of existing holders to live and work in the country,

    and made it very tough for aspirants to get the coveted visa.

    (DHS) had said it would

    change the definition of “specialty occupation” for granting H-1B visas,

    raise the bar for prevailing wages, and

    limit the validity of the long-term work visa in some cases.

    Trump reportedly won't attend Biden's inauguration

    or invite Biden family to White House

    we should not expect to see Trump’s pouting face at Joe Biden’s inaugural.

    Which is a shame, not just because watching Trump scowl his way through the ceremony would be a source of national entertainment,

    but because it would be an absolute breech in a long line of peaceful transitions.

    However, Trump would not be the first;

    Andrew Johnson was the last of three who refused to attend the inauguration of the successors.

    Racist.
    Authoritarian.
    Impeached.

    Sounds like an appropriate role model.

    A group of U.S. states led by New York is investigating Facebook Inc for possible an rust violations and plans to file a lawsuit against the social media giant next week, four sources familiar with the matter said on Wednesday.

    The complaint would be the second major lawsuit filed against a Big Tech company this year. The Justice Department sued Alphabet Inc's Google in October.

    More than 40 states plan to sign on to the lawsuit, one source said, without naming them.

    Facebook declined to comment.

    Ignoring warnings his lies could get people killed,

    Trump posts rant full of ‘unhinged’ falsehoods




    the outgoing in bent late Wednesday released a 46-minute speech jam-packed with blatant falsehoods and fabrications about mass voter fraud

    “the most important speech I’ve ever made,”

    Trump did not mention the catastrophic public health crisis during his speech,

    Trump used his speech to openly plead with the Supreme Court—to which he has appointed three right-wing justices—to intervene on his behalf,

    When those votes are corrupt,
    when they’re irregular,
    when they get caught,
    they’re terminated,
    and I very easily win,” Trump said, falsely.

    “In all states, I very easily win, the swing states.”

    Inhofe loudly sets Trump straight on defense bill

    Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.) told President Trump on Wednesday he'll likely fail to get two big wishes in pending defense spending legislation, bellowing into his cellphone: "This is the only chance to get our bill passed,"

    Inhofe leveled with Trump — over speakerphone while walking through the Senate's Russell Building — that

    the bill won't meet his demand to repeal liability protections for tech companies, or

    block efforts to re- le military bases named for Confederate figures.

    Cutting Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security, social safety net, is always OK

    But don't never NOBODY never block or the MIC corporate welfare $Ts.

    "The princess does not care whether you agree or disagree, she is merely indicating that she would prefer to see you pretend to agree."

    “The president honored World AIDS Day yesterday in a way that no president has before with the red ribbon there, and I think he commemorated the day as he should,” McEnany said.
    As pointed out by ABC News’ Karen Travers on Twitter, Trump wasn’t the first president to use the red ribbon. Both former President Obama and former President George W. Bush hung red ribbons on the White House during their administrations to mark World AIDS Day.

    The Blade sought to press McEnany for a clear answer on why LGBTQ people were omitted from Trump’s World AIDS Day proclamation, but she refused to answer and instead took a question from the pro-Trump One America News Network. McEnany didn’t respond to the Washington Blade’s request to comment via email whether she stands by her remarks on the red ribbon.

    Now that he's lost the election, Trump doesn't care at all about the military base names. That was always shameless theater for the far right.

    Sure, why not.

    The official serving as President Donald Trump’s eyes and ears at the Justice Department has been banned from the building after trying to pressure staffers to give up sensitive information about election fraud and other matters she could relay to the White House, three people familiar with the matter tell The Associated Press.

    Heidi Stirrup, an ally of top Trump adviser Stephen Miller, was quietly installed at the Justice Department as a White House liaison a few months ago. She was told within the last two weeks to vacate the building after top Justice officials learned of her efforts to collect insider information about ongoing cases and the department’s work on election fraud, the people said.

    Stirrup is accused of approaching staffers in the department demanding they give her information about investigations, including election fraud matters, the people said. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to publicly discuss the matter.

    On Thursday, Trump appointed Stirrup to be a member of the board of visitors of the U.S. Air Force Academy, according to a White House press release.

    Wisconsin high court declines to hear Trump election lawsuit


    A divided Wisconsin Supreme Court on Thursday

    refused to hear President Donald Trump’s lawsuit attempting to overturn his loss to Democrat Joe Biden in the battleground state, sidestepping a decision on the merits of the claims and instead

    ruling that the case must first wind its way through lower courts.


    In another blow to Trump, two dissenting conservative justices questioned whether disqualifying more than 221,000 ballots as Trump wanted would be the proper remedy to the errors he alleged.

    (This is probably the only bill the GOP would buck Trump's veto on. What a lovely fare thee well that would be.)

    Sure, but that's too late for Loeffler and Perdue.

    No doubt about it. The only suspense here is how far Trump is willing to carry his tantrum over getting his nose tweaked by Twitter.
