Non worries, Bob. We can wait. In the meantime, I'll remind your readers that Republican voters tried to overthrow the government of the United States of America because black people's votes were counted in the 2020 Presidential election. Also, since I'm not employed by the corporate-owned Right-wing media, I can absolutely confirm it's because Republican voters are nothing but a shit pile of bigots. Have a great morning.
In a related development, Orange Chickenshit's lawyers would kindly like AG Garland to block the Jack Smith report from being made public. How else will he be able to continue screaming at his adoring fans that the DOJ had no evidence, that it was all a witch-hunt?
Holy shit, it looks like Garland is not still alive.
U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon deferred the matter to the Eleventh Circuit but temporarily blocked the release of the report "to prevent irreparable harm arising from the circumstances as described in the current record in this emergency posture, and to permit an orderly and deliberative sequence of events."
Aileen FUCKING Cannon rides to the rescue once again. Where the hell are the Dems screaming bloody murder like the republicans would be doing? This country is gone. King Donald is in charge now.
This will give David in Cal all morning to explain why it was genius of Trump to lie to Republican voters about Haitian immigrants eating pet cats and dogs. I'd love to hear David in Cal's explanation on how that helped him shore up his base of Republican voters. Alternatively, he can work ever so diligently explaining how he can tell the difference between Neo-Nazis, white supremacists, and the fine people on the Right who attended the "Unite the Right" march in Charlottesville, VA.
Focusing on either of those issues is a political mistake. They only carry weight with voters who already dislike Trump. Voters, including persuadable moderates, have heard them ad nauseam. Recycling them makes you look too focused on the past. If Dave in Cal is smart he will discuss those issues with you all day long - because they will never bring you any political benefit and they will only make you look out of touch.
Yet, Bob, the media, and some dead-enders here at TDH still insist there is something other than bigotry that got Trump elected President. Do you think it's just a distraction from moving forward?
10:59, 10:39 is correct. Everyone already knows the Republican Party is a shit pile of bigots, including as you wrote Bob, the media, and some dead-enders here at TDH. They are never going to admit this, or defend against it with a good faith argument, so what's the point? Better to look forward on how to protect the most vulnerable members of society, as the fascists on the Right continue to scapegoat them for their own failed miserable lives.
Trump would like nothing more than the left insist bigotry got him elected President. That would be another in a long line of gifts they have laid at his feet. If you dislike Trump, insisting bigotry got him elected President would be really dumb. I would double check what you think the benefit of these accusations are and whether they are worth it. It may lead you to consider refreshing them. They only help Trump.
Right-wingers think discussing bigotry is woke and they are fighting woke. See Bill Maher's latest tirade. It is their catchall term for anything they want to keep doing that Democrats oppose.
If you are making the accusation in good faith by all means continue to call all Trump voters bigots. I'm just trying to warn you that it's a political mistake.
Trump won the election because the people who love illegal immigration, because it keeps their labor costs low backed him. The entire idea that Republican voters are going to get some kind of bigoted payoff from Trump is laughable. Trump's too busy stuffing his pockets with their tax money, selling off the country piecemeal for his financial benefit, and giving the rest to the corporate elites who are his real constituents, instead. Why call Republican voters "bigots", when we can laugh at them being played for suckers. The David in Cal's of the world may call Trump playing Republican voters for the fools they are "genius", but the rest of us see Trump as a typical, Right-wing lazy sack of shit, who takes the easy way out instead of putting in any effort.
11:18, If calling Trump voters "bigots" helps Trump, wouldn't Fox News be more focussed on calling Trump voters "bigots", then blaming terrorism on immigrants?
You don't call Trump voters "bigots" in order to persuade them. They are not persuadable of anything. You can then bigots to identify them, so that no one accidentally allows them to mess up things we care about, such as putting reasonable people on school boards or hiring committees. If you don 't expect right action from bigots, they won't disappoint you and you can insulate them from positions where they might do harm to others.
When bigots run for local office, they put certain MAGA keywords into their campaign materials. These very helpfully identify who to avoid voting for. DEI is in that category now. If Republicans manage to eliminate such language, we will have to find other ways of separating the deplorables from the good decent people who don't go out of their way to harm minorities and other targets of bigotry.
“ We are about to experience something that’s never been done before
Republicans have only controlled the White House, Senate, and House for 10 years in the past century
And you know how many of those years included a 6-3 conservative Supreme Court plus a powerful MAGA media ecosystem with hundreds of millions of followers to hold RINOs accountable?
Yes, once again Dems have cleaned up the economic mess left them by Republicans and handed over a smoothly-running economy. My guess: Trump will screw it up within two years.
Same thing, if he actually invades Canada to make it our 51st state.
If you want to see racism in action, ask yourself why Trump wants Greenland as a state but not Puerto Rico. Hint: It has nothing to do with mineral deposits or reindeer.
It would be fun if Trump tried to give the blue Southwestern states back to Mexico, because TX is a major obstacle to such a plan, given that there are still some red voters living there. The look on Ted Cruz's face would be priceless.
It is well demonstrated that tax cuts for the rich do not benefit society, it only benefits…the rich.
Trump and this Congress, due to circumstances such as the filibuster and limitations on reconciliation, will be the most do nothing admin/Congress in history, which is in sharp contrast with the Biden admin, which was one of the most active admins in trying to progress society towards a better path.
I don't want my son's balls cut off by Democrat feminist monsters masquerading as legitimate medical professionals or to lose a job to an unqualified DEI recruit.
In that case, you should have voted for Harris. She was the only presidential candidate who believes that government should not dictate health care choices of anyone -- such decisions are between a young boy and his doctor and should not be a political matter, Harris said.
DEI exists to make sure that QUALIFIED applicants get fair consideration alongside the cronies and family members of rich right wing Republicans, when applying for jobs. The Republican version of DEI is to insist that qualifications do not matter, that this is not an actual meritocracy, and to give preferential treatment to friends and family of those with money, like Elon Musk and Don Jr.
The belief that anyone who gets a job that a Republican screw-up wanted must be unqualified, is a salve to the egos of white MAGAs, who are too undereducated to get any jobs on merit. How do we know this? Look at them buying those Trump $2 bills and trying to deposit them in their bank accounts. How stupid is that?
On Jan 6, Heather Cox Richardson described the peaceful tranfer of power that took place in Congress as it certified the election results. She then described what took place four years ago, when Donald J. Trump planned and executed a conspiracy to derail that transfer of power to Biden using illegal means.
Today, there is discussion about whether Jack Smith's inquiry into Trump's actions should be made public, as is routine whenever a prosecution is ended. Failure to release the report would enable Trump's attempt to rewrite the history of what occurred on Jan 6, 2021. Already, public understanding of what happened has shifted in response to Trump and the right wing's whitewashing of that attempt to overthrow Biden's win.
It is important that we remember what occurred. I strongly recommend reading Cox Richardson's essay:
Trump has become Hitler, abrogating treaties and just taking other countries because he wants them:
"And if Denmark wants to get to a conclusion but nobody knows if they even have any right, title, or interest, the people are going to probably vote for independence or to come into the United States. But if they did, if they did do that, then I would tariff Denmark at a very high level."
Denmark is known for medical innovation and there are drug companies there. Tariffing Denmark would cause the price of those drugs to increase. Also Legos.
But the precedent here is obvious. If Trump takes Greenland, other watching nations will capitulate in advance (like Zuckerberg did) and there will be no effective checks on Putin.
Simon Rosenberg, who is usually an optimist, says this:
"Trump’s repeated threats against the sovereign nations of Canada, Greenland and Panama are a direct attack on the post WWII American-led global order. Our support of Ukraine has been a means of protecting the foundational principle of that order - the unquestioned sovereignty of all nations - one that Russia has violated by its invasion. Trump’s clear flouting of this foundational principle of the modern world - not ruling out direct military seizure, like Russia in Ukraine - could be interpreted as his walking away from this global system that has made America prosperous, safe and free. It is also a way of providing cover and justification for Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, and future acts by autocrats around the world. Coupled with Musk’s escalating attacks on the pro-Western, pro-US governments of Canada, Germany and the UK the new Trump regime seems hellbent on helping Russia and China forge a post-American global system, one built on force and dominion and not freedom and democracy. "
“Rambling” means Trump has the knowledge to address a very wide variety of topics. “Bizarre” means we never saw anything like this level of competence from Biden or Harris.
oh easy answer: because the bullying never works, particularly with Trump who's full extent of knowledge and skill around deal making goes only as far as losing the entire half a billion he inherited from his neglectful father and then running all his business ventures into the ground so that he has filed a historic level of bankruptcies and now OWES more than he OWNS, and not to nice banks - because they no longer will loan money to him, but to scary people in Russia and Saudi Arabia.
Quaker - I just watched the press conference. No country was threatened with military action. Trump did threaten tariffs. He also reiterated his threat not to protect NATO members in default.
Any references to military action came from the media, not from Trump.
He also reiterated his threat not to protect NATO members in default.
That is not a thing, you insufferable little fascist bastard. Can you just fucking go away or at least shut the fuck up during the funeral ceremonies of President Carter.
@4:53 - on a couple of occasions, a reporter asked Trump if he would commit to not using military force in some situation. Trump responded that he would make no commitments. That is the closest Trump came to any military threat.
It was a gotcha question IMO. No President would make such a commitment, particularly when he’s not even in office yet.
You are incorrect David. No president-elect would make such threats, particularly when not in office yet. Even renaming the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America is a territorial threat. And no, he isn't joking.
Mexico is not called America and the Gulf of Mexico does not encompass the whole Western Hemisphere. It was a threat to Mexican territorial sovereignty. Unsubtle and clear.
That's a terrible gotcha question for Trump. A better one would be , "Have you stopped raping teenagers because they remind you of your daughter, and if so, when?"
Biden's legacy: One term president, lost to Trump, caught censoring free speech, caught lying about his son profiting off of his name while he was tweaked out on crack, made a fool of himself in a historic debate, one of the most unpopular presidents in United States history, wore sunglasses, ordered cool ice cream flavors.
11:18 And despite all this, he will rank well above Trump in large surveys of historians and presidential experts, not difficult since Trump currently ranks dead last. A position he himself is now planning to challenge in his second term. Off to an excellent start. Cheer him on.
5:14 A reporter asked about the possible use of force in reference to acquiring Greenland from Denmark, which Trump did not rule out. DiC, you have shit for brains if you think that this posturing is acceptable with reference to US relations with a sovereign ally.
We are stuck with this kind of posturing as it is what Americans voted for. If you don't like it, don't back candidates that can't make it through elections, are historically unpopular, are roundly despised by Americans, can't form coherent thoughts without a teleprompter, walk everywhere like they are on a sheet of ice, are visibly corrupt sleazy DC insiders, are loved by a tiny fraction of partisan historians (154 people total) on an obscure survey and order cool ice cream cones as an idiotic marketing gimmick.
"Donald Trump Jr. quickly left Greenland Tuesday after spending less than a day in the autonomous territory of the Kingdom of Denmark.
The son of President-elect Donald Trump traveled to the island as part of his father's effort to purchase the territory. Representatives from Denmark, however, made it clear that Greenland was "not for sale."

Trump and Biden are both elderly. Unlike Trump, Biden is not demented. Jimmy Carter was engaged in diplomatic missions at age 86, way older than Biden.
