I was asked to write a column that would be published in the event of a Trump victory next week. The assignment required me to enter that dark space and imagine what it meant. This is some of what I imagined I might have to write:
The New York Times published an op-ed on the polls yesterday jointly authored by Democratic pollster Celinda Lake and Republican pollster Amanda Iovino. Their main observation is expressed in this one bar graph...
We have unhappy news: Jeff Bezos thinks you are an idiot. Don't feel too bad, though, because he thinks we are idiots, too. Facing a rebellion from the staff of The Washington Post, not to mention an exodus of subscribers, he published an op-ed yesterday explaining why he spiked the paper's endorsement of Kamala Harris. In short, it was about integrity: read more
Barbara Pierce Bush tells PEOPLE she's "hopeful" that voters will back Harris on Nov. 5 to "move our country forward and protect women's rights" read more
"It may be little, but that's no secret," you're saying right now. But that is not what we are talking about. Nope, we mean something else said at the now-infamous Madison Square Garden rally (see above). Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) was there to participate, and also to remind everyone watching that he doesn't actually care about the values expressed in the Bible (if he did, he would not have remained on stage while the others spewed their bile). When Trump announced Johnson on stage, the former president said: "We can take the Senate pretty easily, and I think with our little secret we are gonna do really well with the House. Our little secret is having a big impact. He and I have a little secret"we will tell you what it is when the race is over."

* lfthndthrds (NSFW) has me plonked. Would someone be so kind as to let him/her know that while he/she cannot see my posts (head in the sand, if you will) I can still see his/her posts, and he/she cannot see my retort.
Thank you.

Self-evident?
So is this:
First there was this ...
Do you honestly think something went wrong on the server side to repost 1000+ times by Hans or was he sitting in his basement continuously hitting the publish comment button with ever growing incel rage until it finally posted 1000+ times? My bet is that someone's mom didn't bring the pizza rolls in time and Hans was rage hitting submit while likely screaming the n-word at the top of his lungs. Thankfully, he likely resides in a windowless basement so no one was exposed to his racial abuse....and then there was this...

While no one close to him says out loud that Bluewaffles is challenged, but it is true that he was sixteen years old before he learned how to wave good-bye.

That's the exact same thing as Elon Musk stating that the economy will crash (but, he says it will supposedly will "recover." Like the "We had to destroy the village in order to save it" promise).
As the world's wealthiest person, WTF would he care if the USA the world economy crashes? As shrimptacodan* says, he has the world's most -- money. While the rest o--s will watch as our investments and retirement disappear and costs soar.
* shrimptacodan has me plonked. Would someone be so kind as to let him/her know that while he/she cannot see my posts (head in the sand, if you will) I can still see his/her posts, and he/she cannot see my retort.
Thank you!

Feel the contextual love from Watters (not "Waters"):
Jesse Watters on Wednesday night shocked even his own co-hosts with his reaction to Vice President Kamala Harris ads informing conservative women they do not have to disclose for whom they voted " and that the information cannot be accessed by the public.Yep.
"If I found out Emma was going into the voting booth and pulling the lever for Harris, that's the same thing as having an affair," Watters said. "That violates the sanctity of our marriage. What else is she keeping from me? Why would she be lying?"
""It's over, Emma," he added. "That would be D-Day."
Real contextual love there from Watters.

It sucks to be as stupid as shrimptacodan.
Oh, and since shrimptacodan has me plonked* would someone please let him know that I can still see his posts, but he can't see my retort!
Thanks!
* What's fun about plonking here on the Retort:
Yeah, you can no longer see the plonked person's posts.Fun, indeed.
But they can still see yours...
Which means that you can't see the plonked person's reply.

Did you know that your wife is voting for Kamala Harris for president, MSgt?
I thought I would give you a heads up on that.
You're welcome.

With you, JeffJ?
Are you, or are you not, the Drudge Retort poster known as JeffJ, who was thrown off of the Retort and had to come crawling back as "Bellringer"?Are you brave enough to respond?
