He'll have to sit around a while. The Senate will be in session when he is inaugurated and will probably stay in session until summer. Longer if we are at war and he says he will use the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to implement his immigration policy and that requires Congress to declare war on...

https://www.cnn.com/2024/11/14/politics/video/tulsi-gabbard-director-of-national-intelligence-trump-bolton-digvid I think there are a few different approaches to cabinet picks. Trump is obviously, and true to character, leaned all the way to the wall on "loyal lieutenants". Some of his picks...

I've never heard of Rep. Thomas Massie, but I think he is a moron. Donald Trump is not the President of the United States. He is announcing who he wants for cabinet positions. He isn't nominating them because he can't. When he can, they'll be in session. If he wants a temporary recess...

When asked about the cost of childcare, Trump's answer was that it won't matter. His tariffs are going to make our country so wealthy it won't matter what things cost. That giant influx of cash will be coming from inside the United States. He isn't failing to acknowledge the reality of who...

Colonel Worf. Never addressed onscreen, but presumably an ancestor. Our Worf isn't that old. You know, in movies people generally look just like their grandfather or great-grandfather. It is kind of trippy to watch you watch the stuff backwards where it feels like Trek has always been...

This is a much better post. I think when you say "something as trivial as an opposing viewpoint", though, you are still not really reading the room. The poster that sent you the angry PM (the one we know about publicly) feels like a central characteristic is being threatened by Trump's...

I don't think Deathy was going to do all of that.

He cannot undo much of the harm Rudy has had.

my imagination animates your avatar when I read your posts. I am sort of disappointed how human you look...

I wish it was as easy to recognize them on sight.

I was thinking of Rudy Giuliani today because I was thinking that for the last few months Elon Musk should've been thinking of Rudy Giuliani. And Michael Cohen, of course. Trump is fire. No one touches him long without getting burned.

It could be generally true that both Biden and Trump have been almost equally guilty of telling their supporters that the other was dangerous to democracy and that we've only seen the violence that we've seen because Trump has a lot of violent morons among his supporters and Biden's are more...

Magnus, if you want to make a point here, you'll need to connect something that Biden said publicly with a negative consequence. Can you do that? Go listen to or read Trump's Jan 6 speech. Full disclosure, I have done neither, but I have it on trusted authority that he told them to "Fight...

I don't know how many people read QAnon stuff. I have always assumed it was a very tiny percentage. But Mattel accidentally prints a porn URL on some Wicked dolls and it is staggering to me how many people comment on Facebook that they did it on purpose. How many people have been trained now...

Not always too sure of Pale Rider's FB Friend (friends?), but that is a pretty good management summary of Trump's campaign.

Leaking. Freudian slip.

I haven't watched Kamala's concession speech, but the headline I saw said "We will be okay" which was really weird after a campaign about an existential threat to democracy and if you don't believe me ask the generals and his chief of staff and all the people who worked with him. But I don't...

Say what you will about the deep state, the Departments do know how to operate regardless of their political spokesperson boss. I've never seen any exposure of the meetings the level down there, but I expect they are a lot like when Trump goes to the Pentagon. The other people at the table...

The second one was very clearly incensed by Trump's position on Ukraine.

Of course you did. I am EVERY BIT as pedantic as you are. :) -=-=- We are actually saying the same thing. Trump and his supporters may succeed in changing the word. His most clever trick is to brazenly tell people what to think and then sit back and watch them do it. But I had never seen...
