Trump probably should have read some of his briefings as there was probably some really fascinating stuff in them. But he spent his Presidency saying stuff like “Someone should really look into that” as if someone else was President (and now someone else is). Maybe he forgot that he could get his minions to bring him the answers to just about any question he ever wanted to ask. But once he worked out how to use the remote control to watch cable news 24/7 and how to order cheeseburgers, his curiosity was sated.

Iran is shaping as the more likely one.
Israel has been blamed for the assassination of one of their top nuclear guys.
There was a story a few days ago that Trump had to be talked out of bombing Iranian nuclear sites.
Netanyahu's urging Biden not to re-adopt the Iran Nuclear deal.
Would Israel try and provoke something in the last days of a Trump Presidency....support will likely be a lot less for such actions under a Biden administration?
Would he find a willing partner in Trump?
It won't have an effect on the Presidential succession...but it would certainly give Biden a rocky start to his Presidency.

Iran will behave itself. Israel will see to that with or without Biden ... and with the overwhelming support of their oppressed population to effect regime change.

What a spot on summation... though I would add one thing to the final sentence - golf. Cable news, cheeseburgers and golf.  ;D

Its a bit like Men In Black i think. Aliens are everywhere, they are just hiding in plain site. America elected one with some not quite right orange hair recently.

I suspect that one or two are buried in what passes for his ?

I suspect it's not the folks "of consequence" we need to be concerned about.
It's the "nutty no-counts."

Speaking of Trump.
I bought myself a new Trump Wedge today, first class cheating no more looking over the shoulder!

Biden has now passed the 270 certified electoral college vote barrier (three states are still to certify) so the outcome of the election is done and dusted. Of course, the POTUS continues to maintain that he has "never lost an election" : 
Meanwhile, the runoff elections in Georgia are very tight and it may end up with the VPOTUS having the balance of power in the Senate.
