Refill the swamp!
In one of his final acts in office, in the wee hours of the night, President Trump revoked Executive Order 13770, an order on ethics he signed when he first took office, freeing the way for people who have served in his administration to cash in with lobbying gigs.

Trump leaving to the sounds of "My Way" was a nice touch
That song is the musical equivalent of an overcooked steak covered in ketchup.
I unironically love that song.
But then, I also unironically enjoy Arby's.
Trump's ruined one for me.

I once had a student write a paper about that song
He ended up failing my class for plagiarism.

I turned it on while he was boarding the plane
"YMCA" was playing. It was...bizarre.
The second generation boarded the plane to "Hold Me Closer, Tiny Dancer."
His music choices have always been strange
He has an odd fondness for gay anthems and angry protest music. I suspect that Trump doesn't pay much attention to lyrics.
"My Way," on the other hand, is perfect in its bombast, self-importance, and utter inanity. It's such a terrible song that it's hard to imagine more fitting exit music.
He pays NO attention to lyrics
'Fortunate Son'
'Born in the USA'
'Won't Back Down'
'Keep on Rocking in the Free World'
"My First, My last, My Everything'
'Everybody Hurts' - If they had to make an REM selection it should have been "Can't Get There From Here'
Those first 3 songs ARE about him. Just in the absolute
opposite way that he (or whoever around him picks the songs) thinks.
What did we learn, Palmer?
What will MAGA learn?
Trump ran off to Florida to the strains of Macho Man, having neither "declassified everything," nor declared martial law. Instead, he spent his last presidential energies pardoning Steve Bannon, who defrauded MAGA out of millions in a fake Wall scheme--and a whole bunch of other swamp creatures. And notably, he didn't pardon Snowden or Assange, as his followers wanted. There was no Storm. No Great Awakening.
Anyway, they'll have learned nothing.

Considering that a woman stole Pelosi's laptop
and tried to sell it to the Russians, that movie has been largely de-fictionalized.
It was barely fiction in the first place

I had drop nuclear bomb
I won’t toss out my bingo card until 12:01 EST.
I bet no one had “commute the sentence of Kwame Kilpatrick” on their card
people here in Detroit have been waiting for it
It's a shock but hardly a surprise.
Trump envies Kwame's style
Also he floated that during the campaign thinking it would attract support from black Detroiters. LOL.
Dude's wife put a hit out on a pole dancer
Detroit Cop shot the stripper in the head as she sat in a parked car.
That's hardcore.
As someone who remembers Midwestern conservative cranks
using Kwame Kilpatrick as a stand in for any and all ~CORRUPT DEMOCRATS~, this is an extremely funny thing.
I'm sure his base will ignore/justify it
but I wonder what they think of all the pardons. Perusing the list, there seems to be a lot of non-violent drug offenders and fraudsters. I'm sure they don't care about fraud, but I'd think his base was pretty anti-drug.
I didn't perform an exhaustive search, but I didn't see any pardons for the Capitol rioters in there...

He pardoned Bannon for running a 25m
scam on the Maga base. By all that is right and logical they should be pissed.
What I find curious about that pardon is Bannon had 3 other co-conspirators in the scheme and he was the only one that Trump pardoned. True Bannon can't be charged with anything federal in that case, but I suspect some of those co-conspirators had other dealings with Bannon that they will now talk about to extricate themselves from their legal predicament.
Bannon's pardon won't help him with any new charges.
He's also balls deep and likely exposed in the Jan 6 rally.
Those people love being fucked in the ear
just as long as it's a rich white man doing the fucking. Mission accomplished.
The Bannon pardon isn't complicated, just more self-dealing as he views him as a lifeline for another run in '24.
No Joe Exotic
But Casey Urlacher made the cut.
