Jeffrey Clark and Michael Flynn were leading figures in Donald Trump’s efforts to carry out a coup d’etat in 2020 and 2021. The result was mob violence, deaths at the Capitol in Washington, D.C., an array of criminal investigations and lawsuits, and what one former senior Trump aide went on the record to call “the worst day for the Republican Party since Lincoln’s assassination.”
In any other era, scandals like that would be enough to send those men off into immediate political retirement. But this isn’t one of those eras.

The White House says it has created a system that will allow the president’s son, Hunter, to sell his artwork without knowing the name of the buyers to prevent anyone from trying to curry favor by purchasing a painting during a planned auction this fall. But former Obama ethics chief Walter Shaub called the arrangement “preposterous and very disappointing.”
Hunter Biden has pursued art as a career recently after writing a memoir about his struggles with substance abuse. He is also currently under investigation by the Department of Justice...

Members of the U.S. Space Force will now be called “guardians” — and of course, the internet had a field day.
Vice President Mike Pence made the announcement on Friday, and the United States Space Force tweeted that the name was settled on “by space professionals, for space professionals” after a yearlong research process.
Today, after a yearlong process that produced hundreds of submissions and research involving space professionals and members of the general public, we can finally share with you the name by which we will be known: Guardians. pic.twitter.com/Tmlff4LKW6

“The opportunity to name a force is a momentous responsibility,” the U.S. Space Force tweeted. “Guardians is a name with a long history in space operations, tracing back to the original command motto of Air Force Space Command in 1983, ‘Guardians of the High Frontier.’”

President Donald J. Trump unveiled the official logo for the Space Force on Friday and was instantly jeered and cheered by Star Trek fans who say the design boldly goes beyond the line of borrowing.
Trump’s tweet unveiling the logo is another reminder that the sixth branch of the U.S. military will be an extra-terrestrial enterprise. What better model for that mission then Starfleet, the exploratory and quasi-military organization that Gene Roddenberry introduced in the landmark first episode of Star Trek in 1966?
The Commander-in-Chief was an impressionable 20-year-old when Roddenberry’s space-faring sci-fi classic premiered on NBC so it’s possible it left a real mark on him — as it certainly did with Nasa types, inventors, and scientists of several generations. But the new Space Force logo stirred an instant backlash that suggests its imagery may cling-on to Trek motifs too much.

President Donald Trump traveled to Pennsylvania on Monday to stand in front of Air Force One and speak to a fired-up crowd of supporters. Some of his time onstage was spent hammering 2020 election talking points, like immigration (“We don’t want people coming up here! Our country is full!”); the rest was spent rambling about whatever happened to cross his mind. The president is expected to officially launch his reelection campaign next month, for instance, and he’s been wondering about a new slogan. “Do we want Keep America Great or Make America Great Again?...

President Trump built his reputation on his business acumen and negotiating skills. On Tuesday night, the New York Times provided a trove of evidence that he doesn’t have much of either. The news organization obtained the president’s tax information from 1985-1994, and the numbers reveal that the only real skill possessed by the vaunted real estate mogul was hemorrhaging obscene amounts of money. In fact, Trump lost more money than any other American taxpayer over the course of the decade in question: $1.17 billion.

During last Friday’s March For Life rally in Washington, D.C., a confrontation was captured on video between a rowdy group of students from Kentucky’s Covington Catholic High School and a Native-American protester named Nathan Phillips. The enduring image of the fracas will be that of a student named Nick Sandmann, wearing a “Make America Great Again” standing face-to-face with Phillips, who was resolutely playing a hand drum. In a widely circulated clip, Phillips was taunted by the teens, but on Sunday Sandmann released a statement alleging otherwise...

Though Trump’s decision to shut down the government may keep him in Washington for the holidays, it won’t keep taxpayers from footing a heavy portion of the bill for Mar-a-Lago’s New Year’s Eve party. As was noted by Quartz this week, government spending data shows that the Secret Service paid Grimes Events & Party Tents Inc. of Delray Beach, Florida, $54,020 on December 19th for “Tent Rental For Mal.” An employee of the company confirmed to Quartz that it is providing tents for the annual for-profit bash at...

White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders’s affirmation of being booted from a Virginia restaurant may be an ethics violation because it was confirmed from an official government Twitter account.
That’s the opinion voiced by Walter Shaub, a former federal ethics chief who worked under Barack Obama and Donald Trump. His comment has been picked up by others, with one Democrat House member calling for an ethics investigation on the tweet.
Sanders and her family were attempting to dine at the Red Hen in Lexington, Va on Friday. They were asked to leave by the owner, and Sanders later confirmed the incident, saying she left quietly and that the request to leave was blamed on her affiliation with President Donald Trump.
“Last night I was told by the owner of Red Hen in Lexington [Virginia] to leave because I work for Potus and I politely left,” she tweeted. “Her...

Fox News contributor Tomi Lahren was slammed over the weekend for remarks she made about immigrants.
“You don’t just come into this country with low skills, low education, not understanding the language and come into our country because someone says it makes them feel nice,” she said during a segment on “Watters’ World” Saturday. “That’s not what this country is based on.”
Lahren’s observation is at odds with the country’s history of immigration and the words of the poem engraved on the Statue of Liberty, which literally reads: “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.”

A Fox News tweet lauding Lahren’s position on the issue was quickly seized upon by critics who raked the contributor over the coals.
“I’d trade Xenophobic Rage Barbie for a hard working immigrant any day of the week and twice on Sundays,” said former Office of Government Ethics director Walter Shaub. “Contributing less than nothing to this country, she exists only to make lazy white supremacists ‘with low skills, low education, [barely] understanding the language’ feel nice.”

No/low skilled labor is what made America great.

Donald Trump Jr. is being criticized as tone-deaf after he praised the “smiles” of India’s poorest citizens during his controversial visit to the country to promote his family’s real estate projects.
President Donald Trump’s eldest son told India’s CNBC affiliate in New Delhi on Tuesday, “There is something about the Indian people that is unique here to other parts of the emerging world.”
“You go through a town, and I don’t mean to be glib about it, but you can see the poorest of the poor, and there is still a smile on a face...

Mike Huckabee Suffers Twitter's Wrath for Cheap Shot About Ruth Bader Ginsburg Skipping Trump's Sotu
Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is skipping President Trump’s first State of the Union address on Tuesday, and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee felt the need to explain why in the form of a tasteless Twitter joke.
On Sunday, the Republican tweeted a photo of the infamous moment when Ginsburg nodded off during former President Barack Obama’s State of the Union speech in 2015.
“It’s not fair that ppl are criticizing Justice Ginsberg for skipping Sotu! Security concerns wouldn’t allow her to bring Cpap machine into House Chamber,” Huckabee joked, referring to a device called a continuous positive airway pressure machine,...
