World Economic Forum: Here Are All The Covid-19 Precautions At Davos 2022There’s that old saying, “Do as I say, not as I do.” So a big question is what are political and political leaders actually doing about Covid-19 precautions for themselves right now?

Trump fighting to bar use of White House lawyers' grand jury testimony in special counsel probe: Trump wants to bar the use of testimony from Pat Cipollone and Patrick Philbin.https://abcnews.go.com/US/trump-fighting-bar-white-house-lawyers-grand-jury/story?id=97661011Good luck with that Trump. A judge already ruled they had to testify in front of the grand jury and have done so. Trump has already established that he looks best in orange - once this is over his jump suit will match his makeup.#uspol #uspolitics #Trump #Jan6 #corruption

Former VP Mike Pence is campaigning on a story line that "he was always going to follow the constitution." He's also a lawyer, so why did he call former VP Dan Quayle for advice on whether he could "as President of the Senate" do anything Trump was asking?#uspol #trump #pence #republicans #sycophant
