I just had a scary thought- what if trump loses in 2020 and decides to run for re-election in 2024? Hopefully the GOP would be able to squash that like a bug. Then - oh the tweet whining. He'd be 77. Same age Joe Biden is now.

No, we don't walk away. But when we're holding on to something precious, we run.

I was hoping for someone under the age of 60 myself.

I'm still trying to figure out if it's legal for trump to allow Fauci to testify before the Senate but forbid him from testifying before the House. I can't even find anything on that ever-popular legal eagle, Google, Esq.

I can't even find anything on that ever-popular legal eagle, Google, Esq. There is no specific law which makes it "legal" nor "illegal". What would have to happen is the House would have to file a lawsuit and get a court ruling.

Why can’t Fauci just walk over and say “I’m here”! Would Trump dare have him detained by the Sergeant at Arms?

Then I can change the joke to be more relevant... Grover Clevland called and left two non consecutive messages.....

I dunno. He probably feels like he can do a little bit of good by doing as he's told but can't do anything at all if he's fired.
OTOH, if he's fired, he can talk up a storm all over the news. Wait. Fake news, of course.

A friend of mine who I know is a staunch republican that won't listen to logic, posted the Faux news clip about trump not allowing Fauci to testify because the House is trump haters. I responded that he should be allowed to testify in both branches of Congress. I stated that's why we have 3 branches of Govt, for checks and balances. I wanted to add that if a Dem president did this, the Repubs would be storming the capital, WH with guns and confederate flags, but I bit my tongue.
