Don Lemon has OFFICIALLY deleted his X account!

Can't take the heat. He got the vapors.

A story about the Onion that sounds like something from the Onion. Satire is dead.

For the non-elitist, here's a link to the article that doesn't have a paywall. You're welcome.

Look up Curtis Yarvin and Blake Masters.

Well, then Pence should consider himself lucky that he won't have to make that decision. Democracy is messy.

Is Gaetz still facing possible criminal charges

He's going to be the Attorney General. Suck it up!

Gaetz doesn't accept PAC money. He has unmatched integrity for anybody in DC.

The hardliners wanted Scott. Thune's appointment shows that the cooler heads are still in charge at the moment.

Another example of an Infinite Jest

Democrats would be over the moon if Hillary did this.

that should scare the ---- out of you.

It doesn't. All cabinet members are loyal to the POTUS. You should know that.

We've had a turnip as POTUS for the last 4 years. That hasn't bothered you.

Hegseth is a combat veteran with two bronze stars that doesn't think women should be in combat. At least he has real experience and is sensible. Better than a pampered guy that has been behind a desk most of his career.

Not to mention the Democrats wouldn't've had their collective asses handed to them a week ago.

If Democrats cared about seniors, those seniors could live on social security.

If Democrats still represented the working man, those earning less than $48K could have a house, two cars and afford a family vacation.

Trump will say whatever he needs to to be popular. He doesn't have any real opinions.

I also told him once that his persona was getting more belligerent and divisive. To me, he had seemed like a more benign, if crazily narcissistic, Macy's Thanksgiving Day balloon of a figure in the New York real estate days.

Why was the former pro-choice Democrat going down such a dark and authoritarian path as a candidate?

"I guess," Trump mused, "because of the fact that I immediately went to No. 1, and I said, Why don't I keep the same thing going?'"

Trump can play it round or square, pro-choice or anti-abortion, pro-TikTok or anti-TikTok, pro-crypto or anti-crypto. He has no philosophy, except: What's in it for him? The only thread of continuity in his life is self-interest. He supercharged and retrofitted the Republican Party for his own benefit.

Blackjack!!!!

Tulsi Gabbard is the best option. She'd at least would try to keep us limited in foreign entanglement.

And so much for Junior's pledge of using his influence to keep neocons out of the cabinet. His pop still humiliates him.

I wouldn't put it past Trump to rip the rug out from under Rubio. But he'd be an idiot take the job. It's two years tops. And you'd preside over the death throes of the international order.

Despite expectations of radical change, the new administration will likely be similar to previous ones, particularly in foreign policy, due to the entrenched bureaucracy and the limited power of elected officials to effect substantial change. Americans don't fully appreciate the structural limitations of the presidency and therefore have unrealistic expectations of Trump's ability to bring about significant change.

Trump and Vance are not strong enough to replace Washington or even control it. They can do what any Republican administration does: bring in a different faction of staffers. This will change a few things that the government does in some ways. It will not involve any serious changes to the way government works or we live our lives.

Their lack of strength is not their fault. As democratic leaders, they have only the strength that the voters give them. The voters are not ready to trust them with full power over the government, which is the only way they could get anything done. They are not strong enough because we did not give them enough strength.

Worse, by refusing to see the difference between the dramatic narrative and the sordid reality, by investing emotional energy in the drama without any equivalent energy in wanting to make it real, or any anger that it is not real ... you give your leaders no choice.

They would love to lead us for real. First, we would have to follow them for real and we're not ready to do that. So ...

Project 2025 was developed out of Readiness Exercise 1984 Bravo (REX84B) by retired Gen Louis Giuffreda and Reagan's primary Advisor Edwin Meese can be implemented.

Summarized, REX84B calls for the suspension of the Constitution, the Bill of Rights and the Writ of Habeus Corpus. The idea was continuity of government in the event of a national catastrophic event. REX84B includes a Mass Detention Camp location and scenario. This is the core of Project 2025 from the pens and minds of the boys and girls of the Heritage Foundation of which failed, former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich is a member as well as a reminder of "ole Cue Card Ronald Reagan." Heritage Foundation did not come up with this Nazification Plan on its own"the Foundation does not have anyone that smart, though they do have plenty of smartasses like Gingrich.

There is a bit of a flaw though. The Constitution, Bill of Rights & Writ can only be suspended in the event of a bona fide National Emergency, not the feeling that one is coming or Trump's rumbly diaper dump feeling that something "bad" is about to happen in the US. It must be a VERIFIED threat to the Nation.

Encore!

For the remnants of the Nooner! With gusto, boys, With gusto!
