He did -- Reagan snuck him in early '87 to discuss Soviet policy.

Didn't know that (or that Reagan solicited him: always thought it was the way around, with everyone--unsolicited phone calls).

It was the moment when the Reagan-Gorby defrosting continued and the conservative backlash had begun.

"Gloria" again. "Cursing the dead that can't answer him back"--he finally figured out it was safer, from a legal standpoint, to use music by dead people.

I was just listening to a podcast talking about how a lot of other incumbencies would have spaced their actions out over longer time. like one significant thing a day whereas the new one has just announced a load of things on the first day. BUt it seems like there is so much negative that is leftover from t that they are having to try to clear up so much of it so fast. Can probably announce positive steps they are taking in their own light at the p[ace one might be used to but there's just so much mess to deal with before they can really move on.
Hope it all goes smoothly and Hawley and others don't do their best to compound the mess they made.

Had to get one last round of evil in before he left, though this reeks of Pence’s special touch. Good fucking riddance.

Is it not odd in itself that Acosta would be chosen to cover the t departure. I didn't think there was much love lost between the 2 parties. MIght have thought that t might still have some sway over who didn't get to cover him. But was he invited like the moochwas to the leaving do? Is he actually even more pathetic about who he's reaching out to right now than might be immediately obvious.

I wonder how Gays for Trump feel about this.

A thread of coping weirdness.

Today is Inauguration Day. It will be a milestone day for QAnon supporters. We may see splintering as Biden takes office between those realizing QAnon isn't real & those doubling down & moving the goalposts. Here's a poll from a QAnon Telegram channel today suggesting a divide. pic.twitter.com/CDdG2vm5ZD

I just wanna take a moment and really feel this.

He's gone. No more President Trump. There were times that it felt like I might not survive to see this glorious day.

I mean, yeah, he left a lot of shitty, broken things in his wake, but still.

But Old Lunch, do you not trust the plan?

The new deadline for QAnon followers is when Biden steps up to take the presidential oath.

He - alongside Hillary, Obama, Pelosi and Schumer - will be arrested by the military and taken to an underground base to face a military tribunal which will be live on all TV networks. pic.twitter.com/XoxpLUN7C5

Oh wow, CNN is saying Trump left a letter for Biden. Can't wait.

Air Force One took off to "My Way," as the Bidens walked into St. Matthew's for mass.

And...scene.

These are the prepared remarks we received before Trump’s speech. He was planning to mention @PresElectBiden and @KamalaHarris by name and even wish them well, but he did not.

In fact, his actual speech was completely off this script: pic.twitter.com/LBODyeQG7E

Sadly, I don't think it was a coincidence that there were 17 flags behind Trump. Whatta fuckin' tool, good riddance to rotten trash.

Vladislav Bibidonurtmi (Old Lunch), Wednesday, 20 January 2021 14:12 (three years ago) link

Is Biden the only one who can make what's in this letter public? I've got to believe it's more or less "very complex--be careful" (and if not that, a celebration of Space Force). We may never know.

17 flags? idgi

“I do not believe any man in America gets more calls from women wanting to see him, meet him, or go out with him. The most beautiful women, the most successful women—all women love Donald Trump.”

For what it's worth: apparently Nixon first returned to the White House at Carter's invitation.

Would love to see footage of Biden nonchalantly chucking that unopened letter into the recycling bin along with the Bed Bath & Beyond mailer and something from AARP.
