These are hard to look at, but explain the past four years in a way reading about them never could.
This limited edition 10-day advent-style calendar counts down to the end of Donald J. Trump's "presidency" and helps raise funds for RAICES, which is working to reunite families with their children detained by U.S. Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE).
CNN's Kevin Liptak hit the nail on the head in his Christmas Eve piece, "Trump puts on show of erratic behavior in final days":
One Republican official said Trump was simply seeking to exact revenge on the Republican Senate leaders, including Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and the number two Republican in the chamber, John Thune, who helped negotiate the package. Both have discouraged efforts to challenge the Electoral College results next month.

Just so we're clear, Trump is staying silent on Nashville until he finds out whether the person responsible supports him or not.

And regarding the horrifying bombing Christmas morning in Nashville, this tweet sums it up nicely. Thank God no one was killed.
The publicly-stated position of President Trump's legal team is that the reason Trump lost Georgia is because Georgia's Republican Gov. Brian Kemp has been bribed by a Venezuelan front company in cahoots with the CIA to throw elections to Communists. https://t.co/1OZpTODaN1

Scratch that ...
President Trump’s personal attorney Rudy Giuliani said that Sidney Powell, an attorney who appeared in public arguing for the president at a press conference, isn’t part of the president’s legal team https://t.co/g20H6Vqkiy

Gaslighting to the bitter end
Does this mean the Dominion machines didn’t switch out millions of votes and Hugo Chavez had nothing to do with this?

first they came for Sidney Powell and I did not speak out— because I was laughing so hard I couldn't catch my breath
— Jeff Tiedrich (@itsJeffTiedrich) November 22, 2020
She's the same crackpot behind Michael Flynn's change of heart
After claiming the Republican Ga. Governor took bribes from a dead Venezuelan to rig the votes--and also claiming Loeffler was voted in fraudulently (as the party scrambles for her to win the runoff)--Sidney Powell is demoted. So that's what it takes to exit this clown car.

Chris Christie blasts Donald Trump's legal team as 'a national embarrassment'
For clarification:The Trump campaign lawyer who said Gov. Brian Kemp was bribed by a Venezuelan front company in cahoots with the CIA to throw elections to Communists was released.The lawyer who said Frank Luntz had a micropenis is still on the team.— andrew kaczynski🤔 (@KFILE) November 22, 2020
Here’s how Hugo Chavez, dead since 2013, became responsible for Trump’s election loss
I'm old enough to remember the very first Georgia recount.

Trump requests Georgia recount, meaning 5 million votes will be tabulated a third time
If you had done your job, America's governors wouldn't have been forced to fend for themselves to find tests in the middle of a pandemic, as we successfully did in Maryland.Stop golfing and concede. https://t.co/tCXO8etxge— Governor Larry Hogan (@GovLarryHogan) November 22, 2020

I agree with this woman below. Unless Joe Biden commits treason, I don't want to hear one f**king thing from the left until the end of the second Harris term.
If announcing he's running in 2024 will make this petulant grifter leave, then let him announce he's running in 2024. Whatever it takes to make him just go away.
Congratulations to President-elect Biden. I have prayed for our President most of my adult life. I will be praying for you and your success. Now is the time to heal deep wounds. Many are counting on you to lead the way.

Over the past 15 years, Trump paid more for sex than he did in taxes.

Judging from his taxes, Trump has probably personally done more to defund the police than anyone else out there.

Donald Trump once claimed a $70k tax deduction for hairstyling, but wants to cut SNAP benefits for millions of low-income families.It’s all a cruel joke.— Robert Reich (@RBReich) September 27, 2020

Both of these are Deutsche Bank (DBTCA) loans. From his financial disclosure, we know that Trump owes at least $25M to DBTCA for another property - Chicago.
— Scott Stedman (@ScottMStedman) September 27, 2020
Altogether, Donald Trump still owes DBTCA over $310,000,000. And the loans are coming due. pic.twitter.com/0oVgr2uuiW

I have no more energy for outrage. The election is 37 days away -- just vote.
This is about more than one man's personal tax scams. Donald Trump is a liar, a cheater, and a crooked businessman, yes. But he's also taking advantage of a broken, corrupt, and unequal system that’s built for people like him to do what he did.

Perhaps the best take -- and another sad reminder that our nation's misogyny has twice robbed us of the best (wo)man for the job
