These are interesting, historic times with the potential for world-changing events. Society is typically oblivious to such epochal times until they are over, but I think we have a man among us who may end up as well known to our posterity as Julius Caesar is to us. Or Nero…
I wish I could be around in a couple of thousand years to see the verdict on the era of Donald Trump.
The OrangeMan Cometh #2.
Can we please not have a traditional outside inauguration with every single government official there? Scott Adams talked about this today. Just a private quiet swearing in.
…order in some McDonald’s while were signing the pardons and EOs
AGREE.
It occurred to me that all of those government employees who fancy themselves part of "the resistance" and are quitting X are giving the DOGEs a handy list of the first round of firings. If they're dropping X because of some anti-Constitutional "resistance" move, then they are most likely not ones we want in government employment.
Re: the Polymarket raid - my money is it's either child porn or some obscure money fraud thingy. Odds are the second one, but wouldn't dismiss the first option.
Remember that Madison home with the giant Trump sign? I happened to drive by it today. It's still up.
Have the ceremony in Des Moines while announcing it as the new HQ of the Dept. of Agriculture. Or Fargo, the new home of the Dept. of Energy.
Did that house ever give the cake back?
Some a youz are still on your election night benders. Time to sober up as the real work hasn’t started yet…
Headline: "Fulton DA Fani Willis indicates she’ll push ahead with election interference charges against Trump"
I'm going to need a bigger popcorn bag.
Anyone besides me remember when Tim Walz (aka Sergeant Major Chickenshit) called JD Vance “weird”? Althouse even blogged about it. By Election Day it was pretty obvious that it was Walz who is weird, and. Vance who is normal, authentic, and authentically normal.
Note: if you don’t know how to put shells into your shotgun you probably shouldn’t have a photo op where you’re pheasant hunting.
A Dukakis/Tank moment.
A little while ago I noticed the full moon rising in a sky of that pale blue, which delicately outlined the bare limbs of trees to look like a kind of filigree; it looked like a paper moon.
Yesterday the moon shone down on the lake in full darkness, the mountains were black, and the sky a kind of dark silvery blue. The lake was flat calm and black, except for where little ripples reflected the silver moonlight, but what was really cool was that there were some ducks or geese out there swimming, and the little wakes that they make reflected the silvery moonlight in the black water.
"You can talk about whatever you want."
I want to talk about the experts - all the experts who all agree that the election outcome is bad, and who now scoff at Trump nominating non-experts to do jobs that only experts can do.
But the jig is up. They're finding out what happens when the thin blue line of experts (media, government, education, and entertainment) no longer holds sway. Isn't that what happened with this election? A major of people stopped listening to the experts and believed their own eyes and ears and bank accounts?
Watching the now-shattered blue line of experts attempt to reform and resume making unified 'authoritative' pronouncements, is rather comical. But they don't seem to know what else to do. The jig is up, but they can't help themselves.
I have made this comment before, the Democrats have propaganda professionals who look at their own candidates with an unblinking eye, and whatever shortcomings they notice, they give the order to try to project this weakness onto the opponent. I truly believe that it is fully intentional, and that they have a manual, probably found among Goebbels's papers in Moscow, and smuggled here at the cost of many bribed hands.
So Walz calling Vance "weird" is just one example. Rich does this kind of thing all the time.
Or Wasili, AK ... new home of the FBI. Just mail them their clothes.
Can we just normalize executing traitors?
I want to debate who is more avuncular. Donald or Elon?
How's she gonna do that from Gitmo?
With quite a few votes still to be counted Trump is at 75 million and Harris at 73 million, 50.1% to 48.1%. Three candidates share the rest. He could fall below 50% of popular vote after all.
Tim "Jazz Hands" Waltz. I've never seen a gayer politician, including that guy who got it up the kiester in the Senate.
Maybe Kamala can get to 81 millon. Like Joe "LOL" Biden did.

She misses Trump calling at 3 am.
Yeah, I don't recognize votes counted a week+ after the election. They could have come from anywhere.
It will probably be up for a couple years or more now.
I looked up Jeff Sessions to see if he was still alive. Yes he is. 78 years old.
Such a disaster as AG. Such high hopes for him at first. I wonder what he thinks about all this - Trump’s election, etc.
One thing I love about Trump is that he is already sucking all the air out of the room. The Dems, even the President and VP, seem utterly irrelevant. He is dominating the news cycle in a way no one can ignore. He’s not even inaugurated yet, but he’s already governing from a position of strength. It’s just remarkable.
Don’t Cry, Cryo! 😂 Need a Break from Trump’s Term? Freeze Yourself for 4 Years!

Be sure to watch to the very end.
He could fall below 50% of popular vote after all.
You mean like Bill Clinton did? Twice?
Yancey: I answered your question, but Ann had blocked me from the thread, so you can find my suggestions at last night’s overnight comments and also an explanation of how Trump wants the Senate to suspend itself so he can just insert Gaetz with no hearings. But by law they will have to confirm him right before the midterms, which will destroy us. And I wasn’t calling Big Mike a fool. That’s just a function of how the thread works. Maybe once you read it you will see what really happened. But it’s hard to defend yourself when everyone is calling you pejoratives and you are blocked from responding with facts about the legislative process. Gail Heriot is my choice, but it would be funny as heck to insert Roger Stone and Ann Coulter. And Stone certainly meets the persecution/revenge status sought by otherwise reasonable people here … only he’s good at it.
@Tina Trent, you called me a fool??? That’s classified information! Expect the FBI to pound on your door about oh-dark-thirty.
We'll see what progress has been done by then, we saw what a great jobs sessions did right
You think any of the dozen senators actually would vote for heriot,
This will be known as the "COVFEFE" era. It was when smartphones seduced most people and reduced functional intelligence by 25% in a very short period (2007 to 2016). The whole world stopped watching the outside environment like normal animals and began staring at their phones. Alone together.
Most people on Twitter in 2016 (i.e., Democrats) succumbed to the Woke mind virus because the infinite memory of the Internet forced defensive "good person morality," and many people developed social media anxiety disorders. Women became paranoid Karens and dogmatic bullies, while uncompetitive males gender swapped as passive-aggressive bullies and "winners." Trump developed the world's shortest attention span and lost control over his mouth as a bully too. But, perhaps because of his age, he reverted to the largely functional political strategies of his youth (i.e., the 1980s to 1990s).
In 2,000 years Trump's mugshot and assassination fist-in-the-air photos will still be iconic. He has transcended the ordinary several times over. There may be (golden) statutes of Trump in a few decades. Installed by Democrats!
I've never head of some Trump's nominees. But I'm certain I'll end up liking all of them. Why? The unhinged establishment reaction to all of them.
@Tina Trent
I have no doubt that what you have to say about Matt Gaetz is true. I once had an encounter with an Illinois congressman who was a blithering drunken idiot.
However, being a drunken creep does not seem to disqualify politicians from holding office.
Teddy Kennedy and Chris Dodd could not be reached for comment.
Just remember ... Dana Bash's husband signed the infamous CIA-FBI 51-agent letter claiming Hunter Biden's laptop was Russia "disinformation."
Dana Bash then moderated Trump in the CNN debate.
Dana Bash's now ex-husband is telling CIA employees not to follow Trump's orders - to commit treason.
A lot of people are going to need to be erased soon. Expect what's coming.
So the AfD is now polling 2nd in the German snap elections, so the left wants to ban it "to protect democracy." I wonder if Fred Mertz is still looking like the next Chancellor? If his wife is named Ethel, I will go along with banning AfD just to get him in power.
CNN's Jim Acosta is claiming ... live on CNN ... that Trump didn't win the election.

I didn’t. But I was accused of doing so and blocked from saying I didn’t. I guess that was the FBI. All downhill since the Church Committee. They couldn’t prosecute Weathermen OR spy on Walter Mondale anymore. Though I guess they had to draw straws for the latter assignment.
Geez, I thought working for Cliff Kincaid and being recruited by the Birchers would protect me from such perfidy.
It’s Slanders Time. The MSM propaganda army is getting its personal destruction narratives polished up. No reputations are safe for the next two years.
Louie Gohmert would make another great cabinet appointment to dismantle the DOJ, if he isn’t too retired. Cruz would be ideal, but the Senate can’t lose him. I see him on the Supreme Court. I hate to say it, having buried two immediate family members to the disease, but she has had type 1 diabetes for a long time, and from her face puffing as it does, I imagine she’s on dialysis or had a transplant and has steroid syndrome. I wish her health: it’s a horrible genetic disease. But Cruz would wipe the floor as a SCOTUS member.
OTOH, I wouldn’t care if anything happened to Elena Kagan, that woman-hating hag.
Elon shouts louder, jumps on more furniture, and is still pumping out babies. Does that count?
She’ll have a new boyfriend by then, hire him to massage her thigh in the courtroom, and it will never go away.
Well, they’ve done it before. Don’t underestimate her.
Doug Burgham is going to be Interior Secy said the Palm Beach billionaire. Oil and gas cometh back and inflation goeth away. Hurray.
This is the thing y’all wanna hang your hat on?
Gaetz isn’t intelligent, disciplined, or connected enough. This is a bureaucratic-heavy lifting post. Plus, he has more addictions than Ted Kennedy, who just focused on two, and by what I’ve heard, could only perform one of those.
Oh, for Christ's sake. Acosta is talking about the popular vote, not the electoral college.
Amusing conjecture at the Conservative Treehouse. The Senate rejects Matt Gaetz's nomination. Ron DeSantis then sends him to the Senate to fill Marco Rubio's seat.
NY Post: Trump to nominate North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum as Department of the Interior secretary
The schadenboner will just not go away.
Reader dude? do YOU think that in order to "win" the "popular vote", you have to be over 50%? as opposed to having more votes than Anyone else?
What other things do you think?
People on X, and many here, are upset big time with some of Trumps picks. I suppose they prefer the old school way. someone with years of experience being corrupt, and putting them where they can continue to enjoy the grift. It's early days for sure, but I prefer some new blood. people who don't understand the 'this is the way we do things' bull shit.
The entire edifice is so rotten it needs new people who can rip it apart, and try to rebuild what is worth saving.
Of course, if you think the whole things is just fine, then you voted for harris.
Less orange, more enraged.
new people who can rip it apart
I think it likely that some will fail badly, but hey, that is how Musk develops his rockets. Let's see how it falls out. It's a wonderful world ...
How are the Badgers going to do against the Ducks on Saturday?
I've been listening for a week how Tump had well over 50 per cent and even a landslide. Just observing.
I've been listening for a week how Tump had well over 50 per cent and even a landslide. Just observing.
Considering your side - including leftists who are no longer posting on this blog - were convinced Trump was going down to ignominious defeat, you may want to consider what we were listening to (over and over and over and over again) and how it turned out.
In other words, we have every right to rub it in your face ... yet are being very restrained in not doing so.
I didn't predict defeat for Trump. Certainly not against Biden, and not against Harris when she failed to get a bump out of the Convention. Besides, you're not rubbing anything in my face. It's the internet.
It is shameful that they are still counting votes. What ineptitude.
"“We take pride in the fact we are not rushed,” said California Secretary of State Shirley Weber at a virtual press conference. “We make sure every person who is eligible to vote gets a chance to vote.”"
So do the other states that were done counting 10 days ago. What a joke.
Pray for frigid weather. Reagan 1985 inside for that reason.
@Tina Trent, FWIW I’m pretty skeptical of Mr. Gaetz myself. We Republicans won the House ten days ago despite the debacle of trying to select a new Speaker following Gaetz, Mace, and six other nincompoops joining with the Democrats to oust McCarthy. My fullest respect is reserved for people who evaluate consequences before they engage in activities.
"Even the folks who we think shouldn't have ought to have a voice!"
"Um... no? No, they shouldn't."
The world exists beyond our petty concerns.
A thousand years from now, what we're going through may be remembered... or it may not be much more than a historical footnote. (WW2 may be remembered as a time when several countries ganged up on one, and only the historians will really remember who did what to whom.)
We need to learn that no matter who gets elected, the world will still keep turning, things will go on, and in a hundred years it's not going to matter much. In a thousand, we'll be forgotten except by historians - and in ten thousand years we'll be... nothing.

@CitizenFreePres
Megyn Kelly explains why Trump appointed Matt Gaetz.
Short and excellent clip.
https://x.com/CitizenFreePres/status/1857317292238852434
Yes, I agree.
The setting waxing gibberish moon this morning produced a beautiful halo and a sundog through the haze.
Life is beautiful 💪🤪🤙
Huh. You say our Blogmistress and/or Meade are blocking you, yet your snotty comment here aimed at them managed to get through. Explain that. Are they playing mind games with you??? Why would you be worth the trouble?
Trump should order the construction of a gallows placed in front of his podium as he takes the Oath of office.
Get the attendee's attention.
"Trump developed the world's shortest attention span..."
Or consider the possibility that he has low tolerance for fools and rapidly rejects nonsense arguments. You know that Dunning Kruger works both ways, right? In other words, I will need a lot more evidence before I accept your attention span hypothesis.
John Bolton said that Trump had the "attention span of a gnat" when what probably happened is that Trump showed zero patience for his arguments that the only way the US could ever be safe is by starting wars all over the globe to try to make sure that no power ever arose that could rival us. Inevitably, just as happened against Hitler, the other countries will put aside their differences and align against us. You know, like China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea might form a defensive alliance, which the neocons will call an "offensive alliance," because that's how their propaganda works, but the global south will cheer this alliance on.
Hey, wait a minute! Isn't that exactly what is happening? Not just that, but populist resistance to Bolton's plan for endless war will rise throughout the West. I heard an interesting comment about Wisconsin in 2016 election. It seems that the counties that Trump flipped were also counties that had experienced high losses of their young men in these endless wars that Bolton loves so much. It makes sense as conservatives see defending their country as a core value, and used to be more likely to sign up, but now... joining the army isn't about defending our country, it's about wrecking other countries. That's John Bolton's strategy, keep rivals from arising, keep the global south poor, it leaves us master of the ruins. Trump rejects it.
@Now is the winter...:
The attention span argument follows from Trump's constant tweets in his early administration. All evidence comes directly from him. COVFEFE in the middle of the night. No one has ever been able to interpret it. This, plus his knee-jerk reactions to any slight, even from allies or semi-allies. He was not unlike cranky old Parkinson's Biden.
From 2007 to the Trump administration, smartphones made many people very very very dumb but few noticed or cared. Too much brain time was spent downloading apps, checking Facebook, tweeting, posing for selfies on cliff tops, playing pretend farmer, or buying jewels to advance in a game. Trump inadvertently drew attention to a massive cultural crisis -- but TDS projection put the blame on him.
Computer scientists, engineers, and introverts were unaffected by smartphones because they invented them and lived in their own heads already. In contrast, the extraverts or socially-focused people who recently called computer users nerds and geeks were unprepared and slammed.
See the very different normie attitude toward computer geeks prior to the smartphone:

Yes. That's correct. He's LYING LIVE ON TV about who won the popular vote for President, otherwise known as "THE ELECTION."
I think you mean "gibbous" moon. "Gibberish" is what Inga sends us.
I hope somebody over there consults a history book because banning a certain party and even throwing its leadership in jail back in 1923 didn't work out all that well just a few years later.
Just remember: The people who last week were chanting "Genocide Joe Has Got To Go" are this week shaving their heads, quitting Twitter and promising not to pollute the gene pool with their offspring.
These would be the so-called "lamentations" that Conan was explaining are best in life.
That's a pretty garbled argument, and relies far too much on your low opinion of Trump as "evidence;" that's known as the "attribution fallacy," which basically means that if you hate somebody, you look for the worst possible interpretation of that person's actions. MSNBC is devoted to nursing this aspect of human nature in their viewers.
I've never believed Trump was playing 4-D chess but I do wonder if that's a contingency plan (I know nothing of Florida politics so don't know how reasonable appointing Gaetz would be.)
There's always some nomination that gets all the fireworks going. If you can control them, and give some the opposition somebody to focus on, it could benefit the rest of your nominees.
Oh, and that's a pretty careless use of the term "follows," as if you were completing a deduction, when all you really have is an inference, an inference, as I said, colored by your hatred of Trump. You should get over this and wonder why the Democrats lost to this guy, and my answer would be that the Democrats have embraced the neocons, and their endless wars, and have acquired their stink. AOC got together a group of 22 Democratic congresspeople who opposed us getting involved in the border war in eastern Europe, for example, and they were shouted down and forced to walk it back. The dislike of war didn't just disappear because the neocons made these people shut up, no, it re-emerged as votes for Trump.
Lots and lots of socialists support Trump, socialists who pride themselves on intellectual analysis of politics and economics and matters of war and peace, does that make you wonder if your argument possibly has some flaws? People who never have doubts, BTW, are usually wrong.
“(WW2 may be remembered as a time when several countries ganged up on one, and only the historians will really remember who did what to whom.)”
I am assuming the “one country” is Japan.
Central Europe and deep into the Ukraine. Ukraine is too valuable to Germany for it to just rollover on American irresolution and utter lack of vision on Eurasian geopolitics, of which Germany has been an astute student of for two centuries or more.
Orban illustrates the populist right's great weakness -- its cheap opportunism and need for foreign subsidy. Subversion is never free. Putin harvests souls because these souls sell themselves so cheaply.
The process of building a newer, more independent, and assertive Next Europe begins with the German elections which will ironically take place as Washington inaugurates and celebrates American Retreat and the new American Insularism. Fate giveth and fate taketh away as the seasons turn.
Readering said…
“With quite a few votes still to be counted Trump is at 75 million and Harris at 73 million, 50.1% to 48.1%. Three candidates share the rest. He could fall below 50% of popular vote after all.”
Hypothesis: There is still an urgency to manufacture vote for Kamala. Not to give her the Presidency - that is not possible. Rather, it is to deny Trump the “popular vote” which could possibly trigger the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact giving even more states to Trump.
@Now is the winter...
Utter incoherence from you. You completely misinterpret neutral commentary. I DO NOT HATE TRUMP. He is flawed yes, but way way way way way more functional than Biden or Harris. I do not watch MSNBC, CNN, or Fox. Trump was a necessary and unavoidable reaction to the central deep state abuses of Obama and the Cheney wing of the G.W. Bush administration.
"Trump developed the world's shortest attention span and lost control over his mouth as a bully too. But, perhaps because of his age, he reverted to the largely functional political strategies of his youth (i.e., the 1980s to 1990s)."
So Trump is basically a zombie running off of the fossilized remnants of his younger brain.
"You completely misinterpret neutral commentary"
OK.
Exactly why this is necessary.
"Ukraine is too valuable to Germany for it to just rollover on American irresolution"
You know who was of great value to Germany, as a source for cheap energy, and a market for their manufactured goods? Just yesterday, German car makers were crying out that they need the Russian market back before they lose it permanently to the Chinese.
Face it, going along with warmongering neocons who have ideological reasons for wanting to "inflict a strategic defeat" on Russia, to make Russia more tractable, despite the fact that Russia was no threat to Europe, has basically destroyed the German economy. And no amount of pretty talk about how the sacrifices of the German people are necessary to meet the needs of America's strategy against China, is going to bring back Germany's economy.
You could say that the goal is to turn Russia into the next Africa, and if Russia is defeated, then there will be $72 trillion in resources to divvy up at bargain rates, but you know, there was a German leader who thought along those lines in the last century.
In the 19th Century, Bismarck inflicted a "strategic defeat" on Austrio-Hungary and its power collapsed. The problem is with this strategy is that it is high risk, and if the Russians pants NATO, showing it to the world to be a paper tiger, well... It would have been better to talk to Putin and avoided the whole mess. Germany would be enjoying prosperity, Ukraine would be intact, or maybe they could have a "velvet divorce," like Czechoslovakia did?
"Impossible! Haven't you read Mein Kampf about the terrible shame of giving up even a square inch of territory!" says Kiev.

All the manosphere talk is avoiding the elephant in the data: Trump gained in every demographic including women. Kamala lost ground with every demographic including women. Only the tiny sub-slice of highly educated white people showed increases for Harris. And even that was a very small percentage gain.
Re. SCOTUS, I meant Sotomayor. Re. AG, I mean Heriot. She has been appointed several times to clean up agencies. By the Senate. The fact that she flies under the radar speaks well of her. She gets appointed to DEI Commissions and fights like hell from within. Read some of her law articles. She’s not out there doing blow and groping teens all night. She’s a serious person who gets the job done.
Of course there are silly arguments thats all they got
Personnel is policy. So yeah the work has begun even though it will get harder.
Reforming the DOJ is too important to play funny uncle with.
Ottawa advised against releasing names of alleged Nazi war criminals over concerns for Ukraine - Globe and Mail
Bwahahahaha! I am betting his deputy PM, granddaughter of a Ukrainian Nazi who fled "persecution in Europe" and went to Canada, Chrystia Freeland, probably put a Lugar on Dreamy McDreamboat's desk, and then asked him if he really wanted to release those names.
Trolls like Dixcus seek weak-minded people to agree to endorse violence.
