  1. As part of ABC News’ complete and total surrender to Trump, George Stephanopoulos must give Trump a million dollars of his own money. Anybody who thinks this is not a dangerous path for us to follow, is not seeing the bigger picture.
  2. It won’t matter so long as we remain a country wherein guns are valued more than people.
  3. Rural America needs to start voting in their own interests and resist appeals that animate their racial anxieties and opposition to equity principles.
  4. Likability, along with character are virtues that are no longer valued by voters. Do you Trump at all?
  5. I disagree. By any objective measure, both of the women who led the Democratic ticket were more qualified than the man they against. America has made it abundantly clear that is not ready to elect a woman in general and a black woman in particular. Gavin Newsome could have run on the exact same ticket with the same policy platform and messaging, and would have defeated Trump.
  6. At one of his rallies, Trump told his people that he really didn’t care about them, that he just wanted their votes. You can’t be more disrespectful and still have dumb ass people support you, unless of course all you’re irrationally concerned about the dispossession of white people.
  7. I’ll admit to be surprised at the sheer number of post election autopsies that blame ignorance of policy positions and Democratic malfeasance in messaging for Trump’s win. Really? If we want to keep it real, there are other reasons why dominant culture voters opted for Trump: https://www.facebook.com/share/v/xK1PNXbfcZCHh6ui/
  8. Or the bobble head that simulates giving head. That’s gonna be the big seller.
  9. Well, either we have an “open border” as Republicans have alleged for 4 years, or we don’t.
  10. The OP explains my issue either way him and his whining about wokeness has only gotten worse.
  11. This is bad form even for a Trump nominee:
  12. Had the heads up on local butter biscuit becoming HUD Secretary. He’s everything you would not want to lead HUD in a housing crisis. He an anathema within the black community.
  13. This whole sad saga has me thinking about why preservers of the status quo are unalterably opposed to what might be learned from an examination of CRT. The scholarly framework holds that racism goes far beyond just individually held prejudices, and that it is in fact a systemic race and class phenomenon woven into the laws and institutions of this nation. Those who craft the laws and define the parameters in which institutions exist and operate, do so to ensure that results redound to their benefit. No poor or minority person in this country could ever get away with what Trump is on the verge of getting away with, and that’s because laws and institutions generally don’t exist to help them.
  14. Elon Musk has called MSNBC “the utter scum of the Earth.” He has said the channel “peddles puerile propaganda.” Just a few days ago he said, “MSNBC is going down.” And now he is posting memes about buying the channel. Conventional wisdom holds that Musk — the world’s richest man and key Donald Trump ally — and his friends are just joking. But Musk’s posts are adding to the anxiety that MSNBC staffers are feeling about the reelection of Donald Trump and the recently announced spinoff of Comcast’s cable channels. I spent Sunday on the phone with sources to gauge what might be going on. I learned that more than one benevolent billionaire with liberal bonafides has already reached out to acquaintances at MSNBC to express interest in buying the cable channel. The inbound interest was reassuring, one of the sources said, since it showed that oppositional figures like Musk (who famously bought Twitter to blow it up) would not be the only potential suitors. https://www.yahoo.com/finance/news/elon-musk-floats-buying-msnbc-150921328.html
  15. And this is just the beginning.
  16. Sigh…this butter biscuit here… https://mail.yahoo.com/m/folders/1/messages/AIoHpxdjtZmcZ0EzIwfQAAwFu6U?.src=ym&reason=mobile
  17. The somber skies and howling tempests that oft succeed the bright sunshine are upon us. We’re in for a rough two years.
  18. https://www.dw.com/en/fact-check-what-role-did-disinformation-play-in-the-us-election/a-70729575
  19. Butter biscuit, Scott Turner will be Trump’s HUD pick.
  20. Pam Bondi. She’s every bit as bad as Gaetz. Lord help us.
  21. The worst possible pick would be Paxton. He’s certainly mean and evil enough.
  22. The airlines are really happy at finally being done with Sec’y Buttigieg. Now they can go back to being shitty to customers.
  23. Chuckle. They may sniff around an Iceberg lettuce only because it’s the least nutritious. They’re suspicious of the other woke lettuces.
  24. Undocumented workers are 3.6% of the US population. The mass deportation that a majority of Americans voted for will disproportionately impact construction, agriculture and hospitality industries. Mass deportation will remove 30% of workers in major construction trades and 28% of graters and sorters who keep agricultural businesses afloat. A quarter of domestic household workers will be sent packing. Among the millions of undocumented workers who will be deported are one million entrepreneurs who pump an estimated 27 billion back into the US economy. Mass deportation will deprive local, state and federal governments of 46 billion in federal tax dollars that would no longer be paid, and another 29 billion in state and local taxes. When Trump deports with “shock and awe” as promised, the result will be a 4.2% decline in US GDP, which is only slightly better than the 4.6% decline we experienced in the Great Recession. Again, I want to see the look on the faces of those holding up Deport Now signs when Iceberg lettuce at Kroger is $12 a head.
