Expect Loomer to be pretty much invisible if Melanoma isn't in residence.I have 3 questions.
1) Will his side chick, Laura Loomer, be involved in this administration? I'm thinking an advisory role, behind the scene,of course.
2) Who will be the token black? Kind of how Ben Carson was installed in an unsexy position, HUD which is largely invisible, rarely makes news and no one cares much what they do, but hey, they have a black guy.
3) How to repay Lindsey Graham? Well, aside from keeping his "secret" safe. He's one of the MAGA tribe's biggest dick riders after all...I'm thinking
Whitehouse men's room attendant would be most appropriate.
And the media leaks from those who have their knives out have begun. Gabbard better put on her big girl panties because it's about to get rough.It is an open secret that Gabbard is a Kemlin asset since 2016. And her repetition of Kremlin propaganda and appearances on Kremlin TV propaganda shows should have disqualified her right away from any position, let alone Director of National Intelligence.
Shows how far the US has actually sunk.
					
				What? That leave Tommy Tuberville just the Director of the CIA?I still expect Hershel Walker or some other black dude to be nominated for Department of Ed with the express direction to destroy it.
Wouldn't Stalin be proud?Coming right up....a purge of the military.
And Erdoğan.Wouldn't Stalin be proud?
					
				Keeper of the Sprayer? Could be hairspray. Could be Orange Wash. Your choice.I have 3 questions.
1) Will his side chick, Laura Loomer, be involved in this administration?
Kanye West. Secretary of Commerce. Or Press Secretary.2) Who will be the token black?
Ambassador to China?3) How to repay Lindsey Graham?
Perhaps unironically, both parties are suffering from the thin cord of identity. Republicans sacrificed so much of their former platforms to back Trump and the margin of fundamentalists and crazies. Democrats sold their soul to become the party of anti-racism to the degree that they took for granted the very races they claimed to represent, not to mention ignored the huge sexism present in working class Blacks and Latinos.There was a humorist who used to be featured on 60 Minutes by the name of Molly Ivins. Molly was from Texas and she used to refer to Texas as "The National Laboratory for Bad Government".
In Texas, there's a war underfoot in the state Capitol. A Democrat hasn't held state-wide office since 1994. It's a one-party State. For years, the business lobby (aka the "Chamber of Commerce" faction) in the Republican Party poured millions into the Texas Republican Party in order to get Republicans into power. About 8 years ago, the Republicans turned on them. There's a civil war going on in Texas between the old-time business-oriented Republicans and the MAGA crowd that is funded by a handful of White Christian Nationalist billionaires.
Similar things are happening in Florida. No one would have guessed that a weak governor like Ron DeSantis would have said, "Fuck you" to Disney, one of the State of Florida's largest employers. It's the same phenomenon: the Republican Party turning on the companies that help put it into power.
View the lunacy in the appointment process as part of a nationalized Republican civil war. It's a war between the business lobby in the Republican Party and the Tea Party/MAGA insurgency that has taken over the Republican Party (and made it a branch of the Trump Organization). It's a war between MAGA and the Reagan-Bush factions of the Party. It's a war between the Republican Senators and the Republican House Freedom Caucus. Trump's strategists is setting up a loyalty test in order to set up a primary purge of any Republican who won't blindly do what he wants. It's what happened in 2018 with old-line business conservative Republicans like Bob Corker (R-TN) and Jeff Flake (R-UT).
If the Republican Senators don't stand up to Trump, they will lose the power granted to them by the Constitution to control the Executive.
Several members of the left flank of the Democratic Party have made some very interesting statements about the results....If anything, this has the potential to play into the reform we all need, centrism. We'll see. I heard Senator Chris Murphy already signalling a move to center.
The math has backfired on the progressives. In an attempt to better justify the attention on LGBTQ issues, there has been an unsubtle effort to exaggerate numbers, especially when trans becomes the topic, and it was easily seen as an opportunity by the right to use for attack.The Democrats should have learned from the 2020 campaign that they can't have it both ways; their platform is clear but too many Democratic candidates listen to consultants who tell them to try to appease everyone in the party. Democrats lost because they didn't communicate with the public about what was happening with the economy. But politics is a game of addition and they didn't add any voters by being wishy-washy on fringe issues like transpeople in sports (of which there are very few but Republicans spent over $200 million scaring the public to believe it was ubiquitous).
They almost did, though. The margins were much closer than Trump is going to claim. His surrogates are running around saying, "The American voters have given him a mandate." Trump barely cleared 50% in five of the seven battleground states. That's not a mandate.Nothing matters. The US just wouldn't elect a blk female candidate as Prez, Ever.

Harris got tagged with a shitty economy and a gross mismanagement of messaging on issues like the border. If the White House communications team and Biden would have gotten in front of messaging these issues and looking like they were doing something about them (appearances are everything), Harris might have pulled this off.

Of course. We'll only elect goose-stepping Nazis and will approve infanticide for babies with the "gay gene" and will drill until we reach China.
Good examples have already been given aboutt why blaming the loss on sex and race is just ignoring the reality of there being MANY reasons why Harris lost. Trump is a monster, so Americans indeed deserve whatever befalls now.
The forum isn't a forum for discussion when it presents valid arguments against the monotone. Let's just dismiss anything inconvenient, and true, with crankiness and dismissive rhetoric.
Need to rant a lot. We're in the ranting room apparently.
The cracks are starting to appear.... It's a war between the business lobby in the Republican Party and the Tea Party/MAGA insurgency that has taken over the Republican Party (and made it a branch of the Trump Organization). It's a war between MAGA and the Reagan-Bush factions of the Party...
President-elect Donald Trump’s defense secretary pick, Pete Hegseth, paid a woman who accused him of sexual assault in a settlement agreement that included a confidentiality clause, according to Hegseth’s attorney.
Attorney Timothy Parlatore said Hegseth denies assaulting the woman and has characterized the October 2017 incident in Monterey, California as a “consensual sexual encounter.”
