Joe and Mika missed rule no. 1:

The only way a journalist should look at a politician is down.

Boaz, why do you think people attack you personally? I'm not saying they don't; I'm just wondering why you think it is. Strictly policy?

And her proven record of results entails what exactly?

Well, I'd certainly hope so. P Diddy doesn't have things locked up.

I'm curious to know what she thinks her qualifications are for a particular Cabinet post, other than fealty and being someone for Trump to rub up against.

What do you do at a --- n Go gas station?

On a purely objective basis, of course, many of Trump's new Cabinet folks look like whackjobs.

Mnuchin had to be the great role from Central Casting, though. Him and his evil blonde henchperson.

Southerners would just love seeing themselves lumped in with those other cultures.

Does she speak German?

James Carville anyone?

The body's natural function is to die. Things take weird turns along the way.

The Chinese will always have our asses kicked six ways to Sunday.

They think long term, not for the next election cycle.

We might not like their methods or results, but many of ours are pretty unsavory.

Setting the stage for a Vance/Uday administration, which may or may not be something to look forward to.

My son sent me their announcement from Instagram, and it's hilarious, if you can get to it. (No app required.) Their ad policies, I believe it is, would include "... making orphans available to factories, at no cost to the factories!"

Whatever comes out of Trump's mouth is what I stand for.

Boaz, recently (paraphrased or damn close to it)

# 1....anything to screw democrats.

Even if it means electing a russian puppet and becoming a fascist state.

Finally you post something true.

Precisely. I wonder what cabinet appointments or even federal policies during the present administration were the results of wanting to pwn the MAGAts.

Who are the infants here?

Well-intentioned empire? America? When? For a few decades in the previous century?

What does it say that this load of pus is seemingly a reasonable voice anywhere?

She's not much at handling her own personal intelligence, such as it is.

As bad as corky is for continuing to cling to Harris being a good choice, you and your party are far, far worse.

Nailed it.

so which group of your so called 'low lnfo voters ?"

I was just quoting the earlier material.

My next-door neighbor is an educated black lesbian who voted for Trump. All bets are off. And she has kids in their 20s, one of them a daughter.

We're finding out that "one person, one vote" means just what it says, like it or lump it.

I hate Trump, but I'd be useless to everybody if I stayed in a crazyass state of rage. I got work to do and family members to care for.

And the folks who want to rage and rage and rage here? If they're not channeling that into something more productive, they're defecating where they sleep.

SO the already low info swing voters, and a few Republicans, chose the devil they knew rather than the devil they didn't.

--Corky

I'm coming to grips with the apparent fact that Trump isn't just for MAGAts anymore.

Those low info voters and few Republicans kicked the Democrats' ass. America is in a world of hurt, but just about as always, the Dems' loss is purely on themselves.

I also think Trump won't last long physically. And I don't think Vance can reach his level of amorality. I hope not anyway.

That's just dumb.

Because way too many Americans can't remember when civility was the primary means of getting things done.

Civility is out the window culturally across the board.

We are in uncharted territory, but the more I read about how what's happening here has already happened to varying degrees around the world, the less encouraged I am.

I believe DarkVader is right. Many things were skewed when Obama -- center-right on a worldwide scale, in many ways Bush III -- was painted as a Marxist socialist (Kenyan, bad mustard-chooser and brown-suit wearer). We are pretty well screwed until the country can agree on basic facts and definitions and get away from right and left cultural issues.
