#NEVERSAYHISNAME

This is fabulous and accurate.

Daughter of MLK and Coretta Scott King posted this advice as the next 6 months are going to "get real."

      1. Don't use his name, EVER (45 wll do).
      2. Remember this is a regime and he's not acting alone.
      3. Do not argue with those who support him. It doesn't work.
      4. Focus on his POLICIES, not his orangeness or his mental state.
      5. Keep your message positive. They want the country to be angry and fearful because this is the soil from which their darkest policies will grow.
      6. No more helpless/hopeless talk.
      7. Support artists and the arts.
      8. Be careful not to spread fake news. Check it before you post it.
      9. Take care of yourselves, and most importantly…
      10. Resist!

When you post or talk about him, don't assign his actions to him; assign them to "The Republican Administration," or "The Republicans." This will have several effects: the Republican legislators will either have to take responsibility for their association with him, or stand up for what some of them don't like. He will not get the attention he craves.

So Much for That "Mandate"

From PalmerReport:

We keep hearing about how Donald Trump won this election in dominant fashion and now has a mandate from the American people. Here's the thing: it's simply not true. The votes are still being counted, and it turns out Trump is now a lock to get less than 50% of the popular vote. What's more he'll end up having defeated Kamala Harris by as little as one percent of the vote.

I can hear you asking now: so what? What's the point? He still controls every branch of government, no matter how narrowly he won. The point is this. One of the reasons Trump and his people (and the complicit media) is hyping this notion of a "Trump mandate" is that they know how hard this is going to be for them to govern. Trump won because Americans are very stupid when it comes to economic issues, and much more racist and sexist than we'd hoped. But the reality is that most people who voted for Trump in 2024 still don't like him, aren't excited about him, and merely voted for him because they stupidly think he'll bring prices down.

Most Americans who voted for Trump in 2024 didn't sign on for his extremism, his corruption, his dementia, or his massive incompetence. They just wanted cheaper eggs. Once they see that Trump can't magically bring prices down, they'll very quickly have buyer's remorse and will very quickly be willing to turn against Trump. He could be looking at an approval rating in the thirties by early next year, which would make him so unpopular that he'd lack the political muscle to accomplish much of what he wants to accomplish.

That's why it's a big deal that Trump isn't entering office with a mandate to begin with. He narrowly won and he got less than 50% of the vote. Hell this guy ran in three presidential elections in a row and couldn't get 50% of the vote in any of them. He's the same unpopular loser as ever.

So we need to be taking Trump's narrow win and lack of a mandate and shouting it from the rooftops right now. We need to shout down any media outlet or talking head who claims Trump has a mandate. He simply does not. We need persuadable Americans in the middle to know right off the bat that Trump didn't even get 50% of the vote and that the American people didn't give him a "mandate" to do anything. That's how we drive Trump's approval rating down further, and ensure that he's too politically crippled for any of his agenda to come easily to him.

Saturday "Jokes"

You know you're old when you don't recognize the host or the musical guest on Saturday Night Live.

Two deaf men were in a coffee shop discussing their wives.
One signs to the other, "Boy was my wife mad at me last night.
She went on and on and wouldn't stop!"
The other one says, "When my wife goes like that I just don't listen."
"How do you manage that?"
"It's easy! I turn off the light!"

Oh great, Daylight Saving Time is over.
Now we can all enjoy the sunset while we're eating lunch.

Stop blaming everyone for all of your problems.
Pick one person you don't like and blame them for everything.

So just to be clear, Dems rigged the election against tRUMP in 2020 but then just forgot to do it this time around?

I'm not sure who needs to hear this, but you don't need anything from Amazon today. HA!

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Gopher, Netscape with frames, the first browser wars, searching with AltaVista, pop-up windows self-replicating, trying to uninstall RealPlayer. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.

We aren't ending friendships over politics, we're ending friendships over morals.
There is a huge difference.

The only thing you can do about awful people is not be one of them.

Was in the pub last night and telling my mates the joke about, "What would you do if an epileptic was having a fit in the bath… throw your washing in" … The bloke on the next table said, "My brother who's epileptic had a fit in the bath and died"… Well, if the ground could swallow me up, I apologized and asked him if he drowned. He said, "No, he choked on a sock".

So, the country's going to be run by a bankrupt "businessman," a Fox News anchor, a Bond villain, and an OnlyFans creator? It's like Idiocracy has come to life.

The Fallout Begins

An interesting side effect of Trump's picks for filling his cabinet is the reaction of Wall Street to his selections.. This isn't getting a lot of press because the Main Stream Media is still trying to sane wash everything he does. They don't talk about how Evangelicals are upset about his choice of Kennedy to run Health and Human Services because Kennedy is Pro Abortion. Wall Street, on the other other hand, does not like Chaos, and the Orange Anus is trying to destroy the institutions which provide stability. Wall Street knows that no country in the world will talk to Tulsi Gabbard about intelligence, except those who are already cozying up to Putin. Wall Street does not want a House of Representatives that is focused solely on retaliation and retribution. Wall Street understands that Matt Gaetz hates America as much as Donald Trump, and disapproves. As a result, Wall Street has been in decline. Wall Street understands that people living in a chaotic America are not going to spend their hard earned dollars the way Wall Street wants them to, and this will be a shocking surprise to the cultists. Trump doesn't care, he loves Russia, not America." ~ Dave R
