One change I like when going from Trump to Biden...

...is that the Biden team isn't permanently pissed off like the Trump team is.

No honor among thieves: NC GOP group under investigation for selling fake Trump signatures

https://www.rawstory.com/2020/11/gop-group-under-criminal-investigation-after-auctioning-maga-hats-with-fake-trump-signatures/?utm_source=push_notifications

The Lower Cape Fear Republican Women, a GOP group based in Wilmington, N.C., held a fundraising auction at which one of the exhibits was a pair of red MAGA hats said to be hand-signed by Mr. Trump. Someone bid $1600 for them.

After he got them home, he examined the hats more closely and determined the signatures were digitally printed, not signed with Trump's hand.

To this I have three questions:

1) Why does the Latin phrase "caveat emptor" spring to mind?

2) Or a slightly more modern saying about fools and their money.

and

3) Should I buy one of those printers? (They're $17,000.) I could make just so much fucking money if I had a printer that would print on a hat.

Just so everyone knows...

The piece of furniture Trump is looking stupid behind in the picture everyone's having so much fun with is called a Console Table. It's the kind of thing you'd have in your entryway for people to put their hats, gloves and purses on when they come to visit, and it's also where your cat will probably sleep (on the hats and gloves, of course) after he knocks the purses off.

Question for induction range owners

I ordered my induction range yesterday. I own a large collection of aluminum pans, none of which will work on it. I have a few enameled cast iron pans, which are not cheap. Besides seasoned cast iron, which I don’t like, what pans do you use on your range?

The outgoing president traditionally gives the new one a gift

What do you think Trump will give Biden?

I’m voting for a box of dead rats.

I've been thinking about this "election fraud" thing...

...and it occurs to me that if the Biden campaign really was going to commit voter fraud, they would have gone for the gusto and also defeated Mitch McConnell, Lindsay Graham, Susan Collins, Joni Ernst, Tommy Tuberville, and both of Georgia's senators.

Milwaukee Trump rally shut down early, Serb Hall manager attacked

https://www.wisn.com/article/pro-trump-rally-shut-down-in-milwaukee/34677909

The general manager at Serb Hall told WISN 12 News they did what they could to keep people spread apart.

He said they socially distanced 450 tables and chairs, but when people weren't complying with the rules, the manager ended the event early.

That's when he said he was attacked.

Does anyone know how "Tuberville" is pronounced?

I suspect the obvious pronunciation is not the correct one.
