Cheeto throws Sidney Powell under the bus

At least he didn't say she only fetched coffee.

After Sidney Powell pleads guilty in Georgia case, Trump claims she was ‘never’ his attorney, despite their past ties

Former President Donald Trump claimed Sidney Powell was “never” his attorney in a social media post Sunday, three days after she pleaded guilty in the Georgia election subversion case.

Despite Trump’s claims, Powell was briefly an official member of Trump’s legal team in 2020, and Trump stayed in contact with her on election-related matters even after she was ousted from his campaign.

Dear attorneys for Cheeto:

This turn of events proves something - not only should  you wait for the retainer check to clear before doing anything for him, his campaign, or one of his companies, you should probably photocopy that check before depositing it,

Colin Powell dies of Covid

From CNBC - 

Colin Powell, trailblazing soldier and statesman who made case for 

Iraq invasion, dies of Covid at 84

Colin Powell, the trailblazing soldier and statesman, has died from Covid complications at the age of 84.

Powell, who was fully vaccinated against Covid, had several underlying conditions. He had been suffering from Parkinson’s disease and had been treated recently for multiple myeloma, according to a Powell family spokesperson.

FWIW, I always thought that he, not Barack Obama, was best positioned to be the first African-American president.

He had lots of respect, from many places across the political spectrum.

Then he fronted for the Bushies in their desire to mount a Forever War.

His lies cost him, in any political aspirations he might have had, and, more importantly, the respect given to him, respect he would have needed in any political office.
