Trump talked out of pardoning kids and Republican lawmakers
President Donald Trump received an unsettling warning on his final Saturday night in the White House.
Huddled for a lengthy meeting with his legal advisers, Trump was warned the pardons he once hoped to bestow upon his family and even himself would place him in a legally perilous position, convey the appearance of guilt and potentially make him more vulnerable to reprisals.
So, too, was Trump warned that pardons for Republican lawmakers who had sought them for their role in the Capitol insurrection would anger the very Senate Republicans who will determine his fate in an upcoming impeachment trial.
White House counsel Pat Cipollone and another attorney who represented Trump in his first impeachment trial, Eric Herschmann, offered the grave warnings as Trump, his daughter Ivanka and her husband Jared Kushner listened. Other lawyers joined by telephone. They all told Trump he should not pardon himself, his family or any GOP lawmakers in a prospective manner unless he was prepared to list specific crimes.
Cipollone and former Attorney General William Barr both warned Trump earlier this month they did not believe he should pardon himself, multiple sources familiar with the matter told CNN last week. Barr conveyed this position to Trump before resigning last month, sources say.
Trump continued to bring the matter up in the ensuing days, even after officials believed the issue was resolved. But the sobering meeting on Saturday evening at the White House seemed to put the idea to rest.

Have we talked about Bean Dad yet?
So this guy named John Roderick posted a story on Twitter that went something like this...his nine-year-old daughter daughter asked him to open a can of beans because she was hungry. He made her open it herself, although she didnt know how to use a can opener. It took six hours.
People were angry about this. Some saw it as abusive. Others went through his old tweets and found several that come across as racist and antisemitic. Apparently he also liked to threaten to rape people.

Anyhow, he hosts a podcast with Ken Jennings, the Jeopardy guy. Jennings tried to defend him. It didnt go over too well. And some of Jennings old tweets are coming as a result. Looks like Bean Dad may keep Jennings from getting a full time gig on the show, although they havent said anything.

"I'm not going to say 'Happy New Year,' I'm going to say 'Jumanji!'"
I cant take credit for that one, it came from my wife. But Jumanji to all my friends on DU. We will escape this nightmare soon.
