Bikes and public transit make it all better. And beer.
Trump says he’s going to redo the air traffic control system . . . I am pretty sure I will never fly again if that happens.

Imagine thinking about Trump 1 and acting like he wasn’t the president for the entirety of 2020 - maybe one of the worst years in U.S. history - made far worse by Trump’s incompetence.

Or Nice Polite Republicans

I gave up on NPR (Nice Republican People) long ago.

Yeah - TBogg is great.

It’s how it works sometimes.

Notwithstanding the BS of Tapper, I think it’s clear that Biden was not up to the campaign.

Likely Biden would’ve lost also by a close margin. Musk spent his money finding the idiots in PA, WI and MI.

It’s sad for me because no president ever did more for me.

Lots of snippy people here today.

Yep

Maybe - it’s also likely separating would have cost her votes elsewhere.

I think Gaza policy is a major factor in why many people stayed home. They didn’t vote for the monster, but were ambivalent about supporting Harris in states like NY, CA and MA. They cld protest non-vote and she’d still win.

I think you missed my Fuck Off license.
November 3, 2025 at 8:05 PM
It would’ve happened if Biden had run too.

Harris ran a good campaign. One big mistake was not separating from Biden on Gaza. It’s likely why she lost the popular vote with people just sitting out.

Harris likely lost the electoral college election on Musk money locating idiots in MI, PA and WI.

True - but he should never have looked for a second term. His age and infirmity was a problem.
November 3, 2025 at 7:19 PM
Without the celebrity Monster the Republicans have nobody else. It’s going to be a cold day for Republicans when he’s gone, and that alone might motivate them to play stupid about the two terms limit. But it also condemns them to running with a person who most people despise.

A Trump campaign in 2028 would likely damage the Republicans as it’s clear he has reminded people how much they hated him in 2020.

(Trump had no coattails in 2024.)

The orange monster is THE celebrity politician. He’s vital for Republican success, but also an anchor that will drag them down.

I want Musk in Gitmo writing a $200,000 personal check to every Federal employee with the memo line (handwritten) saying “Elon Musk is an idiot.”

No leaving Gitmo until every check is written and cashed.

Now for Thiel and the other fascist billionaires . . . plain financial ruin, n Gitmo trials.

Well . . . There was a riot at the Capital.

Also - despite it being oddly fun to ride in snow. I won’t ride on snow and icy conditions days as I had the fastest riding-to-smashed on the ground I’ve ever experience. And a sore should for almost a year.

The snow just makes it too hard to see a problem under it. And ice is ice - always bad.

Mittens (not just fingered gloves), good boots, and scarves make all the difference.

Head covering of some sort is important, but people know that. Keeping your hands, feet and face warm though seems to be less obvious for some people.

Warm extremities make all the difference in enjoyment.

. . . WTF?!
October 28, 2025 at 11:45 PM
Where is the SNL skit with a group of people watching Raiders of the Lost Ark and each person being asked occasionally to identify the obvious bad guy in the scene? And failing.
October 28, 2025 at 11:44 PM
And the “emergency” declaration will fail. People are incredibly sick of him. The military leadership hates him.
October 28, 2025 at 10:37 PM
At some point Republicans are going to dope out that a Donald Trump candidacy in 2028 will doom the party. Nobody can run against him because it’s a cult. If Donald runs the cult will fall in line.

My guess is that he doesn’t run, but declares an “emergency” that requires him to stay in power.

Buffoon fascism is usually campy.
October 28, 2025 at 3:43 PM
It’s not so easy to go backwards once the route has been decided.

Truly President Obama spent too long trying to accommodate the Republicans. It was a mistake, but lots of Dems are (or were) pro accommodation.
