Trump's final days in office are tailor-made to keep the spotlight on him at the expense of Biden, who is scheduled to take office at noon Wednesday, according to reports. Here’s a thread

Since the attack on the US Capitol, Trump has lost allies and faces a second impeachment trial. But until noon on Wednesday, he retains the vast powers of his office — and seems intent on using them.

🙏 Pardons 🙏
Trump is said to be planning a last-minute spree of pardons, which he can issue unilaterally and would spawn another chaotic news cycle.

The list was drawn up during a Sunday meeting between Trump, Jared Kushner, Ivanka Trump, and other aides, and will most likely be made public Monday or Tuesday, @washingtonpost reported.

The list is not expected to include Trump, @cnn said, though the president is said to have considered pardoning himself and his family.

✈️ Skipping Biden’s inauguration ✈️
Trump has said he will not attend Biden's inauguration, which is set to be held under unprecedented security following the Capitol riot.

Instead he plans to fly to his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, where he is expected to land just ahead of Biden's inauguration ceremony, a photo op likely to drag attention away from Biden in real time.

🎤 2024 candidacy 🎤
Trump was previously thought to be planning an even more audacious Inauguration Day spectacle, having touted the idea of announcing his 2024 candidacy to a rally of supporters.

That plan seems unlikely now, given his political struggles — if he is convicted in the Senate impeachment trial, Congress could move to bar him from all public office, disqualifying him from running again.

⌚️ The future for Trump ⌚️
Out of office, Trump will have a far smaller megaphone, with his Twitter account still out of his hands and bans on other platforms. https://t.co/HXkd2c1yiV

Allow me to offer some commentary on several SCOTUS cases that are NOT the #moab, but which, considered in aggregate, will reveal my impressions on the #TRUMPSMASH #lawOfFunny

Can someone give me a google number or something? I want a party line.

Funny, before the election I recall lefties muttering the caravan must have been a Trump setup because it made the open borders crowd look so bad. Why would the pro-migrant crowd engineer a crisis that played into Trump's hands? THIS is why. THESE are the "optics" they wanted.


This media manipulation effort was inspired by the success of the "kids in cages" freakout, a 100% Stalinist propaganda drive that required people to forget about Obama putting migrant children in cells. It worked, so now they want pics of Trump "gassing children on the border."

There's a heavy air of Pallywood around the whole thing as well. If the Palestinians can stage huge theatrical performances of victimhood with the willing cooperation of Western media, why shouldn't the migrant caravan organizers expect the same?

It's business as usual for Anarchy, Inc. - the worldwide shredding of national sovereignty to increase the power of transnational organizations and left-wing ideology. Many in the media are true believers. Others just cannot resist the narrative of "change" and "social justice."

The product sold by Anarchy, Inc. is victimhood. It always boils down to the same formula: once the existing order can be painted as oppressors and children as their victims, chaos wins and order loses. Look at the lefties shrieking in unison about "Trump gassing children" today.
