Is that a nod to Trump being under a cloud? I'd have otherwise expected this to have been filed under [POLICY]

With apologies to Irving Berlin
As he hasn't yet been charged with anything arising from the Mueller investigation due to the Justice Department guideline that prohibits the federal indictment of a sitting president, in theory, there is nothing for him to pardon. He may be able to pardon himself of the impeachment that passed the house and failed at the Senate.
I am just a bit pessimistic about how far they are willing to throw the book at him at Federal level with the messages of "healing" from the President-elect. Depends on how far Barr has managed to knobble the Justice Department as to how it will function after. At least the State level actions and the bankers finally having enough something to hope for.
The handicap of Trump's golf partners does not matter - he cheats.

“To say ‘Donald Trump cheats’ is like saying ‘Michael Phelps swims,'” writes Rick Reilly in the new book “Commander in Cheat: How Golf Explains Trump”
Of course the result of the American election would have been well known in advance to Cummings with all the AI and Superforecasting that he does. On the other hand, we may see him doing a day trip up to Barnard Castle again to check his eyesight if he has incorrectly read the forecasts
And now for the next question, will he leave as a gentleman or will he be escorted out by men in uniforms or white.
The exit of autocrats that he so admires is seldom with grace. The very stable kind of guy could have a very stable kind of breakdown.
Get the popcorn in and let's wait and see.
...that's the Bullingdon Club for you
The Bullingdon Club is a private all-male dining club for Oxford University students. It is known for its wealthy members, grand banquets, and occasionally bad behaviour, including vandalism of restaurants and students' rooms.

Perhaps the vandalism of restaurants and student rooms was what set in motion the wreaking of the United Kingdom
+1 I've never been so happy about the result of an election... even one in another country

And over in Westminster...

Apparently it does still stink now and then and the Honourable Members do find the resultant atmosphere a bit odorous to conduct their own odorous business, which is why there is a multi-billion pound refurbishment on the horizon for Westminster
It will take a bit of time for lingering smell to disperse after the delivery of the Super Strength Elephant Laxative in the form of Democracy being delivered to eject the odorous orange lump and his policies from American and World affairs. After that, almost anything would smell of roses. The problem is around 70million people chose to back him
since for the past 6 months you have been buying useless tat from Amazon during lockdown then you will want to buy these amazing products for your family for Christmas
I think Covid-19 cut off the supply of tat from conferences for family Christmas presents
David Icke has been permanently suspended from Twitter, so we won't be hearing more from him from that source

The upper limit is important as the mission planning would have had to take that into account for the fuel required for the return journey.

The name "Beresfords" is indelibly etched in memory of their handling of the Miners' Compensation Scheme.

Trying to deal with 4.4 million small claims might be the bigger nightmare for FB, the claimants might end up with more in their pockets but the lawyers' children might have to subsist on dry bread and gruel.
Yes, something even along the lines of the Payment Protection Insurance(PPI) redress that got setup in the UK. I can't remember the exact lead up to that being setup - test case/official inqurt, but, it was made easier and straightforward for the individual to claim. Of course it did also spawn the hoards of PPI leaching firms trying to get their grubby hands on what was due to you.
Baroness Harding, the Tory peer who leads the government’s much-criticised test-and-trace programme, should be removed and replaced, a senior Conservative MP has said.
Sir Bernard Jenkin, MP for Harwich and chair of the powerful parliamentary liaison committee, called for her to be given a “well-earned rest” and moved on to focus on “lessons learned”.
