According to a post in another thread, the speech is at 9 pm (likely so he can get maximum ratings on the East and West coasts at the same time).

Or course, but I think every politican does that.

The problem is, he's supposed to be campaigning specifically for Georgia candidates, so if he were a competent politician he would pick a time which is most beneficial for people in the Eastern time zone.

An earlier start time (perhaps 8pm) would have allowed people to get home sooner (since it is during the work week).

Interesting if True.

From what I understand, the outgoing president gets one last trip on Air Force one (well, the plane that the president normally flies on, which technically is only air force one when the president is on board). Normally it is used to fly the ex-president to his home city/state.

I wonder what will happen if Trump is out of the country at the time of Biden's inauguration, especially if his trip lasts more than a day or 2. Will they leave the plane there until he's ready to return? Will they fly it home without him? (I'd love to see him stranded in Scotland, having to fly home commercial. Or take a tramp steamer back to the U.S.)

I wonder what the over/under is on how much of his time will be spent talking about himself and how he should have won/will win in the end, instead of talking about the two candidates.

Does he still have his Trump plane or was it repossessed?
 
I was wondering what the hell was left for Trump to do in his last days of office, and then I read about his ordering a aircraft carrier to within striking range of iran…….

From: Wikipedia
The aircraft continued to be used by The Trump Organization for executive trips until 2019, when it was repositioned to Newburgh-Stewart International Airport, where it has been placed in long-term storage. The left Rolls Royce RB-211 engine has been removed.

The plane is supposed to be returned to service once Stubby McBonespurs is no longer president, but I don't know if it would be ready to fly by the end of the month.

(I don't know if the Trump Organization has other planes in their inventory that would be suitable.)

He is universally incompetent. If he was a "normal" lame duck president with the same Georgia situation, he'd be working his ass off for multiple days, probably making multiple appearances around the state. He wouldn't have anything else of significance going on.

TRump has ordered a Aircraft Carrier to within striking range of Iran.
That might be part of the answer to your question...

Look on the bright side this gives all kinds of opportunities for those who argue that the military will not blindly strike at a foreign power just because the president says to do so.

The question is also will he limit himself to conventional weapons.
 
Not exactly about Trump, but Trump-adjacent...

From: The Daily Beast
Jason Miller doesn’t like being called out for allegedly being a deadbeat dad. The longtime Trump adviser and chief campaign strategist tried to run interference for his boss on Sunday...CNN anchor Jake Tapper tweeted out, “The full call is here and while I have your attention pay your child support.”... Miller responded "You’re a fake news pussy, Jake. I’d like to see you say that to my face."
...
the Trump campaign was paying out Miller through a shell fund, in a possible bid to reduce his owed child support payments....

(Oh, and by the way, the child in question is from an extra-marital affair, born only a few months after Miller's wife had given birth.)

Just remember, the republican party is the party of "family Values" and personal responsibility.

I would almost have some sympathy for the mother (AJ Delgado), except she used to be a Trump campaign worker.

Yeah, the GOP is the party of family values.

Corleone and Soprano Family Values.

Miller is also the guy who spiked his (pregnant) girlfriend's smoothie with a drug to induce an abortion.

Nothing wrong with that...

After all the GOP wants to make sure women can't decide to have an abortion. It has no problem if the man decides the woman should have an abortion.

That's actually the strategy I used when posting an auction close time on eBay. I wanted people on both coasts to be able to get in the bidding war that inevitably happens at the very end!

Those 2 candidates are not supporting his coup attempt in the Senate. He doesn't really have a good reason to mention them at all.

No problem losing an engine, it still worked fine when they removed the last one.
