We need HUNDREDS of pardons now given the likes of Kash Patel scalping people at DOJ.

Great Piece! The house is on fire and all WAPO and the Times can talk about is how Biden broke a promise. Seriously? Say hi to your dogs.

Hi, Charlie— This is a first for me, opening to Charlie Sykes and getting in a solid run of laughs for the day😁 Really, some brilliant strokes of the pen on these moments. I thank you for your wit and wordsmithing. You are our treasure and what a bargain you are. Bless you!

Keep calling it the Musk-Trump administration. It will drive someone crazy, if his name is not first.

When I see the reaction of some to Biden's pardoning his son, I want to scream. Biden is a father, served the nation well. A nation that basically gave him the finger. So - using a power within his rights, he pardoned someone who did the most harm to himself. I don't want to hear on word about the pardon - by a good president, especially in light of the incoming president who actions right now would be a scandal in a different world.

I saw a quote (maybe Bill Maher)

“It’s like half the passengers on the Titanic were pro-iceberg”

A lot of us on the anti-iceberg side clearly see what is happening (thanks to Charlie and others) but how do we get the Icebergers to care? Will they be happy with the deep state conspiracy until it affects them personally?

His appointment of Kash Patel is Trump waving his a** in all of our faces.

What an embarrassment this oncoming Administration is. This is what you get when the national leader is a convicted felon BEFORE his election. And here I thought Trump 1.0 was mortifying….

"Elon Musk, the world’s wealthiest man and President-elect Donald Trump’s 'first buddy,' took to his social media platform X ...."

Not Truth Social? A big clash is coming between these two "buddy" competitors.

At this point, the con man likely doesn't give a rat's ass about Truth Social. It was just a way to gin up his basement dwellers. He's got a much bigger bank to rob now.

Why are these things so crystal clear to the “rest of us” but not to the people that voted for Trump?! My husband and I are just average people, we follow the news but aren’t news junkies, why do we anticipate a disaster that is unfolding in front of our eyes ? We’re in our 70’s but fear for our children and grandchildren, that what we have had will be history,( possibly erased from the “new” history books ), a fond memory of how things are/were , before they were erased by an authoritarian and his revenge tour. Can see it, can hear it happening but feel helpless in doing anything about it, except for the excuse and/or bumper sticker of “ Dont Blame Me, I Didn’t Vote For Him !”

Charlie,

Do us a favor and keep at it! Drum, drum, drum these facts on all the Trump rubbish coming with the set-up of his administration. It is deplorable, disgraceful, and disgusting! But, these are Donald Trump’s friends, donors, and connections. All are unfit for political consumption!

MEET TRUMP'S CHOICE TO LEAD THE FBI, SO AS TO MAKE IT HIS PERSONAL GESTAPO "Responding to a question from Bannon as to whether a second Trump administration “could get rolling quickly on prosecutions.” Patel responded with a breathtaking claim, that has not received the attention it deserves.

“We will go out and find the conspirators, not just in government, but in the media. Yes, we’re going to come after the people in the media who lied about American citizens, who helped Joe Biden rig presidential elections– we’re going to come after you... https://kevinmcdonald.substack.com/publish/posts/detail/152409399?referrer=%2Fpublish%2Fposts
