President Grinch

   The president left town two days before Christmas, leaving behind a veto of military pay hikes as well as a threat to veto a covid relief bill. A result of his action could be a government shutdown within a few days, since the veto was part of a larger bill authorizing funding for the entire government.
   Soon after the Grinch left town, the White House added another 26 names to the president's pardon list, which included several who were convicted of several crimes, including lying to Congress, and other federal offenses.
   The list included two of the president's close associates and a family relative.
