Hmmm, if Trump’s first term is any indication. It’s just a question of when the wheels start to fall off especially with mass expulsions and tariffs. Adding to his history of incompetence he’s tapped incompetence at every turn to drive his agenda. Once the 1% get their tax cut made permanent, Trumps job is done. Above all else he’s a LAZY pos. Wait for it!! It will be painful but as noted in the piece he doesn’t have a mandate and the twits who thought they wouldn’t be affected by his draconian immigration policy and didn’t vote will find out they made a huge miscalculation. After all, Trump looks after Trump, and no one else.
I was going to make a joke about Trump nominating Hulk Hogan for some cabinet position. I’m now hearing that Scott Jennings is proposing that Hogan should fill Marco Rubio’s senate seat and I now realize it will be a miracle if Hulk Hogan isn’t serving in our government very soon in some capacity. I don’t know adequate expletives for any of this.
Just heard. The STUPID Orange Snake wants RFK Jr as the Health secretary! I don't know who's crazier - the Snake or or any MAGA Senator who would ever vote for him!
You captured this perfectly! And now, I guess we wait and see how long it will take for his uninformed voters to discover that their clown has a flamethrower and intends to set the nation on fire.
One thing we know about ALL of Trump's cabinet selections is that they are all liars. Trump's narcissistic cult-member litmus test is s/he say publicly that the 2020 election was stolen from him. A lie. A damned lie. And so, let's call his cabinet the "Team of Liars" from now on. (No doubt they'll reprove that handle nearly daily starting January 20th.)
Trump vote 2M higher than 2020. Harris vote ~6M lower than Biden. Total vote >2M less than 2020! Appointments already on track to be worse than expected.
Adam Tooze shows graph that most US counties depend on government transfers for 25% of personal income.
How long will it take for “normal” low income Republicans to realize that they have been played for suckers & losers. Again!
I’m the child of a deaf person. Lemme tell you how relaxing childhood vaccines is going to go. Your kids probably will survive measles, but they might not, and they might end up with vision loss like a psychiatrist I worked with. At best, they’re going to have a miserable two weeks. And you might be vaccinated, but your unborn child isn’t. Best start opening up those deaf schools again. Oh wait, we don’t want to fund special education 🤷♀️
I made a bet with my son regarding the election. If Harris won, he would download Substack. If Trump won, I would download X. Thank goodness you’re there. We can’t lay down and die even if we may feel like it at times,
Regrettably, had to pass up buying The New York Times which I desperately wanted to buy upon arrival in Hong Kong (only place in--part of-- China I've ever seen with the Times!). However, I'm still getting my "To The Contrary" fix while in LN Fortunate Coffee here. It's my only news source whilst in Hong Kong!
Since my head is still reeling from learning the place I'm renting will be sold, I have enough to depress me. My question is - what are Fox and CNN saying about the idiots the Orange Snake is naming to his Cabinet?
Thanks. Right now, no idea. Worst case is having to move to MN where my sister lives. Sorry Dave, and anyone who lives around Lakeville. It's cheaper in rent, which is good, but oddly the state taxes are higher than CA, and moving 2000 miles sight unseen is scary.
Eva, all my best wishes again. No time is good to have to deal with such personal upheavals, but you've been through a few of them (including the personal losses that are equally difficult), and you will surely come through this one with the decision that is best for you and your pup.
Thanks. I'm in a kind of limbo period. I haven't seen anything "official" about this place. But I'm looking at all the websites for housing here and MN. The timing itself is a problem. Moving around here is hard enough. Moving to MN - OUCH! - as I'm doing it alone and I get cold when it's 70!

How long? Never. They're too stupid, ignorant, and evil. The cult is strong in those ones.
Spot on as always, Charlie. And also, as always, thanks for the canine pics!

You were too early! Than comes Gaetz.
Somehow we got both the shark and the electrocution.
Pete!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
He goes thru people like toilet paper, not mere tissues.
I realize it is still very, very early, but damn, Mr. Sykes, do you have to be right.
All kidding aside, thank you for reporting the truth!
I cannot, and will not support any "mainstream media" for the foreseeable future.

Sorry to hear that, Eva. Good luck finding a new place to call home.

yep, 70 is sweater temperature for me, too.
