Trump Raised $76 Million — Then Spent Nothing On Vote Challenges Or Georgia

Trump’s bait-and-switch ads cited the need to contest his election loss and for the GOP to hold the Senate as he sought funds for his “leadership” PAC.

Country music legend Dolly Parton said in a new interview that she turned down the Presidential Medal of Freedom twice when it was offered it to her during the Trump administration.

Parton, 75, told NBC's "Today" show that she was unable to accept the offers mainly due to personal reasons.

"I couldn't accept it because my husband was ill and then they asked me again about it and I wouldn't travel because of the COVID,” Parton said.


She also stated that President Biden has made the same offer.

"Now I feel like if I take it, I'll be doing politics, so I'm not sure,” Parton added.

NBC notes that former President Obama said during an appearance on the "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" last year that not giving Parton the medal during his time in the Oval Office was a "mistake."

"...Biden says he won't settle for COVID-19 aid package that 'fails to meet the moment': White House..."

The Economy Does Much Better Under Democrats. Why?

NYT

reader comment

Also worth stating that Democrats are pretty good at capitalism.

Supply side economics isn't wholly without merit, but it has to be balanced with "demand side" economics.

Government spending is good for the economy and the private sector. Raising wages is good for the economy and the private sector. Redistribution is good for the economy and the private sector. Hell, regulations can even be good for the economy, because when all of the sudden there's a new rule that your coal plant can only produce 2t of CO2 per day, you've got hire people to make upgrades and improvements to that power plant.

PLUS we engage in rational foreign and trade policy, none of this "Hey, let's start a 19th century tariff war with China and see what happens!" bullshit.

The economy does well under Democrats because we try to help the supply side, we try to help the demand side, and we try to spend government money, all of which are good for the economy.

Republicans only have two cards up their sleeve: Tax cuts and deregulation. Democrats, on the other hand, are playing with a full deck.
Absolutely agree.

Dolly has done an amazing job of both being a liberal and not losing her conservative fan base.

*stolen from another board*

"..It made me do a double take the first day I saw a cable news report mentioning something someone said in a tweet. I thought to myself that the "real world" and "teh internet" shouldn't intertwine. I thought it was dumb but moved on with my day.

Little did I know that the next four years would be reporting on what our President was tweeting on the regular. I couldn't even scroll through on Google News without seeing that shithead's tweets coming up spewing needless hate and misinformation into the world.

History will look back on this time and wonder what the **** we were all smoking to allow any of this to happen..."

Off The Rails Bonus episode: Inside the craziest meeting of the Trump presidency

https://www.axios.com/trump-oval-office-meeting-sidney-powell-a8e1e466-2e42-42d0-9cf1-26eb267f8723.html

This will be the best thing you read today

excerpt:   Trump was no longer focused on any semblance of a governing agenda, instead spending his days taking phone calls and meetings from anyone armed with conspiracy theories about the election. For the White House staff, it was an unending sea of garbage churned up by the bottom feeders.

Powell began this meeting with the same baseless claim that now has her facing a $1.3 billion defamation lawsuit: She told the president that Dominion Voting Systems had rigged their machines to flip votes from Trump to Biden and that it was part of an international communist plot to steal the election for the Democrats.
She will lose and I’m only too happy for her to have to depart with some of her dishonestly made wealth.
Too bad.

We didn’t, when that was the fault of republicans who gave Trump his seat through the electoral college just so they could stay in charge.

OK, bring it.  Lindsey is starting to sound like a middle schooler. lol
I hope the Democrats get him and Moscow Mitch for their obvious lies and wanting an insurrection.

Exactly! I was wondering this myself when I hear the lies that Moscow Mitch always breathes. He’s no different than Trump.

Trump is all about fraud because he himself is a fraud.

I read that 100,000 small businesses closed permanently because of the pandemic and rioting. Furthermore, 60% of small businesses fear they will not survive through 2021.   Almost all of this catastrophic damage can be directly attributed to Trump's failure to address the spread of the covid pandemic and curtail the rioting that occurred throughout the year.  If we had had a competent president, we would not be in the predicament in which we presently find ourselves. 

What has happened to this nation is far more damaging than any of the wars we have ever been involved in throughout our history. More so even than the Civil War.

You can't be serious. We had a pandemic that derived from China with no known treatment or cure compounded by no equipment to deal with it. That caused the science everyone wanted to follow to shut things down and quarantine. That certainly will ruin a lot of businesses. Some covid relief funds haven't been spent by the states.

It is illegal to send troops into a state without their request unless it protects federal property. When he sent US Marshalls and other federal law enforcement to protect a federal courthouse, they were called secret police and even stormtroopers by Pelosi.

I get amazed that no one holds China responsible.
