The GOP is full of self-serving selfish assholes who care for nothing but their own enrichment....and the Democrats?
This is going to cost Trump about $17 million a year https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-trump-new-york/new-york-city-ending-business-ties-with-trump-organization-mayor-says-idUSKBN29I1R8
Maybe that's why he's going to stiff Rudy on his legal fees and travel costs?

I'd link to the WAPO article but it's behind a paywall.
"Trump has instructed aides not to pay Giuliani’s legal fees, two officials said, and has demanded that he personally approve any reimbursements for the expenses Giuliani incurred while traveling on the president’s behalf to challenge election results in key states. They said Trump has privately expressed concern with some of Giuliani’s moves and did not appreciate a demand from Giuliani for $20,000 a day in fees for his work attempting to overturn the election."
Now I'm waiting for Rudy to book the Four Seasons Total Landscaping carpark for a press conference exposing Trump corruption.
Any guesses as to when the trial will be held?
With 10 republicans voting to impeach the president from their own party, this is the most bipartisan impeachment in American history.
The acting U.S. attorney for Northern Georgia, who was named after his predecessor reportedly angered President Trump for not finding election fraud, told staffers in a conference call Monday that he dismissed two election fraud cases on his first day.
“I would love to stand out on the street corner and scream this, and I can’t,” said Bobby Christine, according to an audio recording of the call obtained by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
“But I can tell you I closed the two most — I don’t know, I guess you’d call them high profile or the two most pressing election issues this office has,” he said. “I said I believe, as many of the people around the table believed, there’s just nothing to them.”
Christine also said he found fewer election-related investigations in the office than he expected.
“Quite frankly, just watching television you would assume that you got election cases stacked from the floor to the ceiling,” said Christine. “I am so happy to find out that’s not the case, but I didn’t know coming in.”
Oh Mitch, Mitch, Mitch, the road your headed down isn’t one you want to be on. If you support impeachment I can promise this will be your last term in office. All the RNC $$ in the world won’t get you re-elected.
Microsoft-owned GitHub is facing an employee backlash after a Jewish employee was terminated two days after suggesting there were "Nazis" among the US Capitol rioters in an internal chat room.
...
On January 6th — the day of the siege of the US Capitol by a mob of Trump supporters — an employee at Microsoft-owned GitHub took to an internal Slack chat room to warn coworkers in the greater Washington DC area to "stay safe homies, Nazis are about," with a sad emoji.
A coworker was quick to criticize the employee for using divisive rhetoric, igniting a firestorm of internal debate, with many jumping in to take sides. That same day, HR reprimanded the employee, who is Jewish, for using the word "Nazi" in the workplace.
On Friday, two days later, the employee told Insider that he was terminated, with human resources citing unspecified "patterns of behavior." The employee asked not to be named, citing concerns over online harassment, but his identity is known to Insider.
"I did not know that, as a Jew, it would be so polarizing to say this word," the former employee wrote in a Slack group for Jewish employees, in a message viewed by Insider. The employee says he sent the message during the meeting where he was officially terminated from GitHub, before his corporate accounts got deactivated.

That's comedy gold right there... don't start a civil war if the jails don't serve organic food. LOL
From the same thread.
Only one person showed up to the pro-Trump protest outside Twitter’s San Francisco HQ
30 police officers were there to monitor the scene

Meanwhile at the State Department https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/christopherm51/state-department-website-trump-term-ending-employeeQuoteBoth diplomats said that an investigation into the matter could be a challenge, considering how many people have administrative access to the content management system used for the State Department’s official website.This statement is frightening.
Why? Because it means either they have no tracking on who makes changes (fucking wikipedia has that) or they all share one login.
Nit sure which is worse.
