Will Donald pardon the turkeys or will the turkeys pardon Donald?

John Kelly speaks up:

Is it me but watching NBC News on YouTube but looked like Trump has changed his hair colour? The weird, nasty orangey blonde seems to have been replaced by iron grey at the sides and white on top! Probably means nothing or the light reflecting or something but it looked different!

Oh just seen others have commented on this too! I hope it is because he's depressed. He deserves to be depressed the wanker.

My guess is that the change in hair colour is part of a shift towards looking too old, unwell and frail to do prison time. Although that hasn't gone so well for Weinstein

Wow. That statement from John Kelly pulls no punches: the transition process needs to start (even if it has to be halted later if Trump is declared winner of the election) so that whichever administration comes in, it will be up to speed and staff will have been security checked.

'Trump says the vaccine will be available to everyone by April except in New York state where the governor has decided not to help with that “for political reasons.”
Trump is basically manufacturing a standoff with Cuomo over a vaccine that hasn’t shipped yet.'

Huh? Why would the state of governor prevent vaccines? My son is anxious to go by to NYC and go back to his college.

I was telling my sister that's it's a shame that this vaccines was ran purely capitalism because it They can control the price.

News of the vaccine are somewhat premature.

It's about half way through the testing needed, although results look very promising.

Then, because it's an RNA vaccine, the logistics for distribution will be a bit daunting, as it will need a -75 oC cold chain. There aren't many of those freezers around. They are usually -20 oC.

At research labs we may have 1 of those for 3 or, often, way more -20 oC.

That John Kelly article...

Trump is about Trump, I think he must hate America to be stopping the transition going ahead which, in this covid climate, is just damaging the country.

Ironic. The Koch brothers spent billions on dividing the country. Now it's 'got out of hand' so the remaining Koch brother wants to heal the country. you couldn't make it up....

My dp keeps saying that Trump could still win the election because the bookies haven't paid out yet 🙄

Bookies won't be happy to pay for the odds they were giving for a Biden win.

Tbh I don't understand betting - it confuses me!

I wonder how many Republicans voted for Biden.

I'm getting the impression that more moderate Republican voters have ticked "Biden" then voted red down the ticket. The want republican values but not Trump.

I wondered whether the grey hair signified that something had got through to Trump about how unpresidential and undignified his stance is, and he thought what he said might carry more weight without the orange hair. But that doesn't account for the continued thick layer of make up on his face.

Is Charles Koch having a "Do you still think you can control them?" moment?

Don't think that about the grey hair at all. He's channelled grey hair before, then next time it's back to nicotine orange!

There's a meme along the lines of 'In a final bid for victory Trump changes name to Biden'. Maybe the white hair is the first step in that process? The tricky bit will be growing a soul though.

the press release from the company was for the stock market. a routine thing for new medicines. they usually don't end up in msm, just the stock market pages of business magazines.

This is why his hair has changed colour

God speed, little pig. God speed

Interesting piece about the Reagans.

Did they open the doors to 45?

His hair frequently looks grey, I think the blue tones in certain types of light cancel out the orange a bit
