He ain't moving back to Mar-a-Lago...
There's talk that Trump will be moving back to Mar-a-Lago after he leaves the presidency.
That's his official mailing address, however he cannot live there.
Why?
Purchased in the 80's it was his plan to live there. In the 90's he had some financial troubles and planned to divide the land into smaller properties (probably to build on and sell) however, the Palm Beach city council rejected his plan so he converted Mar-a-Lago into a private club. Signed into a contract agreed by Trump and the town, it stipulates the use of guest suites are limited to a maximum of 3 non-consecutive seven day periods by any one member during the year. While contracted, it appears it wasn't enforced as he's spent more than 130 days there while in office.
All of this has been taxing to the town of Palm Beach as his every visit requires street closures, mooring access, protecting roads and ocean access with high security. Mar-a-Lago is only a few miles from the West Palm Beach airport and that traffic is also affected for every entry or departure.
Palm Beach has several options should Trump actually decide an extended stay and that includes revoking the Club's occupational license blocking his ability to obtain revenue to maintain the facility. Would it end up in a battle with Palm Beach? Possibly and we've grown to know that Trump may not actually 'get his way' but he always has a few alternate plans to get around laws, rules or agreements that he's agreed to.
If the fight isn't worth the trouble, probably the easiest solution is to buy a luxury property nearby and use Mar-a-Lago as any member would.
No longer being president, security for him and his family would be reduced.
I'm sure the neighbors would be delighted not having to pass security clearance coming and going whenever he is around.

Decieving your voters about Election Fraud when you are trying to win an election is Bad.
Ya, A LOT later. After all, The presidential swearing in is only 14 days after the Georgia run off. Plenty of time.
You see, when you start telling your voters that their votes have been stolen, to appease the whines of a 74 year old toddler, your voters naturally start wondering why they should come out and vote. After all, the Enemy could just steal their votes again, right? So, why bother voting if the result is, as that voter said, predetermined?
Its a pickle. After al,l if you tell them the truth that there was no voter fraud, your Toddler could start screaming and attacking your candidates in revenge. Conversely, if you keep lying that there WAS voter fraud, your voters might not show up as they don't see the point, and they cant understand why you are not focusing on keeping their Toddler in his job which will piss them off and make the stay home.
In both scenarios you lose anyway! It is truly a pickle.
More keeping of his promise of diversity

Biden chooses an all-female senior White House press team

WILMINGTON, Del. (AP) — President-elect Joe Biden will have an all-female senior communications team at his White House, reflecting his stated desire to build out a diverse White House team as well as what’s expected to be a return to a more traditional press operation.
Biden campaign communications director Kate Bedingfield will serve as Biden’s White House communications director. Jen Psaki, a longtime Democratic spokeswoman, will be his press secretary.
Four of the seven top communications roles at the White House will be filled by women of color, and it’s the first time the entire senior White House communications team will be entirely female.
President Donald Trump upended the ways in which his administration communicated with the press. In contrast with administrations past, Trump’s communications team held few press briefings, and those that did occur were often combative affairs riddled with inaccuracies and falsehoods.
Trump himself sometimes served as his own press secretary, taking questions from the media, and he often bypassed the White House press corps entirely by dialing into his favorite Fox News shows.
In a different area of the White House operation, Biden plans to announce a number of his top economic advisers this week. He'll name Neera Tanden, the president and CEO of the liberal think tank Center for American Progress, as director of the Office of Management and Budget, according to a person familiar with the transition process granted anonymity to speak freely about internal deliberations.
In a statement announcing the White House communications team, Biden said: “Communicating directly and truthfully to the American people is one of the most important duties of a President, and this team will be entrusted with the tremendous responsibility of connecting the American people to the White House.”
He added: “These qualified, experienced communicators bring diverse perspectives to their work and a shared commitment to building this country back better.”
Bedingfield, Psaki and Tanden are all veterans of the Obama administration. Bedingfield served as communications director for Biden while he was vice president; Psaki was a White House communications director and a spokesperson at the State Department; and Tanden served as a senior adviser to Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius and helped craft the Affordable Care Act.
Others joining the White House communications staff are:
— Karine Jean Pierre, who was Vice President-elect Kamala Harris’ chief of staff, will serve as a principal deputy press secretary for the president-elect. She’s another Obama administration alum, having served as a regional political director for the White House office of political affairs.
— Pili Tobar, who was communications director for coalitions on Biden’s campaign, will be his deputy White House communications director. She most recently was deputy director for America’s Voice, an immigration reform advocacy group, and was a press staffer for Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.
Three Biden campaign senior advisers are being appointed to top communications roles:
— Ashley Etienne, a former communications director for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, will serve as Harris’ communications director.
— Symone Sanders, another senior adviser on the Biden campaign, will be Harris’ senior adviser and chief spokesperson.
— Elizabeth Alexander, who served as the former vice president’s press secretary and his communications director while he was a U.S. senator from Delaware, will serve as Jill Biden’s communications director.

Kick Trump Goodbye !
Yep, we get to kick him and his corrupt cronies to the curb and Trump into court. 
Only 56 shopping days until the Biden inauguration and you can bet,
he won't have to lie about the attendance.
Trump lied over 22,000 times while in office.
No one should ever support such horrendous behavior.
After 4 years of record lies, corruption, and ineptness,
finally the USA will again have a real president and VP, who will actually help
the average American, rather than themselves.
The countdown to Biden inauguration continues !

Pardon me pres...
It's customary for presidents on the tail-end of their stay to pardon a few people on their way out.
On Wednesday, Trump announced a full pardon to his ally, retired Army lieutenant general Michael Flynn who pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI in its investigation of the 2016 election.
Lots of speculation to the long list of others... like Roger Stone and Paul Manafort.
Does this list of pardons signify the realization that Trump acknowledges his presidential term will end in January?

Newsmax CEO Says Its Coverage Is Not Accurate, They Have No Evidence of Election Fraud
I know our collection of outspoken people here like to throw out Newsmax links. Well this interview from a couple of days ago shows that their CEO is laughing all the way to the bank with them, and calls their most cherished stories just "opinions." Not to mention calls into question the accuracy of his own channel and says there wasn't any Election fraud.
It's sad to see people so mislead, and so proud of being mislead. But at least this might be a glimpse behind the curtain at how the people they trust as alternatives to the "main stream media" are in fact laughing at them, and peddling lies for profit.

In response to: Newsmax CEO Chris Ruddy has admitted that some of the channel's post-election news coverage has not been accurate, but defended the output as merely providing people's opinions.
Ruddy was being interviewed on Peacock's The Mehdi Hasan Show about how he can justify the misinformation and conspiracy theories that have been aired on the network, which has seen a surge of viewership and praise from Donald Trump.
Hasan accused Newsmax's post-election coverage as like "watching a parallel universe" as it continues to push disputed claims of widespread voter fraud, the debunked theory that Dominion Voting Systems glitch massively favored Joe Biden and the suggestion that Trump could still be president in January.
Hasan also played an "especially ridiculous" clip from Diamond and Silk, who appear on Newsmax despite being cut from Fox News for spreading conspiracy theories about the COVID-19 pandemic.
During the clip, Diamond and Silk, real names Lynette Hardaway and Rochelle Richardson, claim the "China Virus" and the "scandemic" are linked to an overall plan for the Democrats to rig the election.
"Given you yourself have been a journalist Chris for more than 30 years, do you feel embarrassed to be running nonsense like that on your network and calling it news?" Hasan asked.
"Like all the networks, and networks you've been on, there's a lot of opinion hosts, and they have all sorts of things that I don't subscribe to," Ruddy replied.
"I do believe in free discourse, I believe in people having their opinion. We're not saying that that is accurate."
Hasan then interrupted Ruddy to ask him "You're not saying your own shows are accurate?" which he does not respond to.
"We have gone out of our way to say we have no evidence that the Dominion software was manipulated in any way," Ruddy continues.
"We are reporting what people are saying like the Trump campaign, we're not necessarily embracing it."
Hasan then asks when history looks back on this "undemocratic moment" when many Republicans were trying to "overturn a free and fair election" whether Newsmax would be "proud" of what they chose to air.
Hasan gives an example of the press conference from recently fired Trump lawyer Sydney Powell, who is accused of being a QAnon supporter and suggested that former Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez, who died in 2013, created the Dominion Voting Systems to help rig the election for Biden.
"She's a prominent attorney that filed on this. She's a former U.S. attorney. Again, I think the public can make a decision rather than you or I, as to the quality of the information she's giving and whether she's legit."
Hasan tweed out a clip of the interview, which has since been viewed more than 200,000 times.
