Adelson is mentioned prominently in this Colbert monologue:

On an unrelated note, I love that Jon Batiste’s band has several women.

More news about Sheldon

Quote

Sheldon Adelson, the chairman and CEO of Las Vegas Sands and a major donor to Republican politicians, died late Monday following complications related to his cancer treatment, his company said. He was 87.

Adelson took a leave of absence from Sands last week to resume treatment for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, which his aides first disclosed in late February 2019.

"His impact on the industry will be everlasting," the company said. Sands' shares opened slightly higher Tuesday.

Adelson's funeral will be held in Israel, the birthplace of his wife, Dr. Miriam Adelson. Plans for a memorial in Las Vegas, where he ran the Venetian and Palazzo casinos, will be held at a later date.

I wonder if the terrorist-in-chief will even acknowledge his passing or if he's too far gone worrying about his leaving office.  I don't think said terrorist will be particularly welcome at Sheldon's funeral services.

Maybe whoever does his official scheduling quit or is hiding in a closet somewhere?

OTOH, I would think the folks in Alamo, TX have heard enough indications on the news about Trump planning to turn up in the vicinity to at least inquire.

This is all so bizarre.

You know that he probably wanted to go to "the Alamo" but someone -- probably Rudy -- goofed it up.  I guess he's lucky not to be going to the Alamo Car Rental place.

probably the same people who thought it is totally appropriate to storm the Capitol because they pay taxes.. It's just as nice as people telling me at work that I have to do X and Y because they pay my salery.. Really...

Many years ago, I went to dispatcher certification training at a joint police academy. The instructor I liked the best was a real smart ass. During one of the classes, he said that when a caller would say that they pay his salary, he'd respond with, "I'm glad you brought that up. You need to get a better job because I need a raise." I'm still laughing about that more than 30 years later. Of course, he had the right tone, so he never got complaints. I probably would have gotten fired if I tried to say it to a caller.

I'm worried about the comeback tour - it won't be Trump, but Trump Jr, Ivanka, some charismatic and fascist senator. 4-10 years from now

Failson #1 (Jr.) has really honed his demagogue chops; like his dad, he draws from inciting the mob.  *note* snorking three or four lines of uncut Peruvian marching powder is a great primer before mounting the stage

Numerous of the Federal alphabet agencies and state AGs will get after it.  There will be a lot of legal wrangling.

Materials recovered during the raid on Epstein's mansion -- what's up with that? If Trump pardons Jizzlaine Maxwell, I will completely lose it.

I saw a clip of the orange one telling the media that the potential impeachment is „ridiculous“, „a continuation of the biggest witch hunt in politics“, „causing tremendous anger“ and „terrible.“ Also, that he doesn’t want any violence. Reading between the lines, he wants us to know he’s not afraid, however, he is afraid of what may happen, and if anything violent happens, you better not blame him because none of this is his fault.

unfortunately, the clip is from a German news site and doesn’t indicate from when exactly the statement is, but I would guess from some time earlier today shortly before he boarded the plane to whatever Alamo he‘ll end up visiting.

He is remarkably calm. What did they drug him with? Not the angry red faced screaming i expected.

You know how people who are absolutely petrified about impending events can suddenly become completely still? All the fear and trepidation has sucked all their energy away and they have nothing left. So they appear quiet and calm. I think that might have happened with Trump. His constant anger and angst have drained him.

Or they've found some better drugs for him.

I almost think Twitter should put up a special page if you go to the former fuck face account beyond the account suspended message and instead tell the world that he's not above twitter rules and why exactly his account was terminated.  I think it'd be kind of humiliating for him to get singled out for being a fuck knob. 

And here's my updated what I hope fuck face's wikipedia entry looks like in about a year.
 

Quote

Donald John Trump (born June 14, 1946) is an American convicted felon serving the equivalent of 5 life prison sentences at the Administrative Maximum Federal Prison in Florence, Colorado.  He was the 45th President of the United States from Noon on January 20, 2017 through 7:49pm Eastern Standard Time on January 14, 2021 when he was removed from office by Vice President Michael Pence via the 25th Amendment to the United States Constitution.

Trump's term has been noted for the number of firsts during and after his Presidency.  He became the only President to date to be impeached on two separate occasions.  He became the first and only President to date to be removed from office through the 25th Amendment to the Constitution prior to the expiration of his term.  He is the first former President to be permanently barred by Congress from holding elective audience in the United States.  He is the first former President to file bankruptcy after leaving office.  He is the first former President to be convicted of a Felony after leaving office, and the first to serve time in prison after leaving office.

Main Article: Criminal Trial and Conviction of Former President Trump

After being removed from the Presidency he was briefly succeeded by Vice President Pence as Acting President.   Upon his departure from office he was charged with numerous felonies both in the Federal system and in various state courts.  Former Vice President Pence refused to pardon him for his crimes after Trump left office.

Trump is projecting as usual but just for the record, I'd be fine with President Harris too.

Gloria, don't you think you're fallin'?
If everybody wants you, why isn't anybody callin'?
You don't have to answer
Leave them hangin' on the line, oh-oh-oh, calling Gloria
Gloria (Gloria), I think they got your number (Gloria)
I think they got the alias (Gloria) that you've been living under (Gloria)

I've got a couple of suggestions for names what about Barack Obama tower or Hillary Clinton tower? Both have ties to Chicago.

Or the best of both worlds, the Michelle Obama Tower.

And since she has honorary doctorates (three of 'em) in addition to her law degree, it can be the "Dr. Michelle Obama, Esq. Tower"

Listening to whatever weirdness that babbled out of that moron’s mouth today made me what to beat my head against my desk.  Utterly delusional

I used to work at a public library and get told that.  I’m not sure how much those people thought I made, but thankfully more than their taxes towards the library.

Why am I unsurprised that this mob breached copyright again? Geez guys, play music from the idiots that agree with you - and even then, get permission.

At least the lyrics were unintentionally fitting.
