This particular case may have a lot to do with it. The rehabilitation aspect is nonsense. There are things you simply cannot come back from.

You know, Biden did not survive in Washington as long as he did, and reach the heights that he did, without political chops. I'm starting to believe more and more that he knew Kamala-lama-ding-dong was a ticking time bomb and unable to wage a successful national campaign.

By naming her so soon after the coup, ol' Fuck-up Joe gave Obama and his faction a royal screwing without benefit of lube. Obama never got a chance to shoehorn his preferred candidate into the nomination.

And then, just to ladle a little icing on the cake, Biden made a few decent gaffes or just weird statements, guaranteed to tie her to him. Not saying all the goofs were planned, probably just a couple.

Maybe Biden and Dr. Jill get a chuckle or too, as they walk out of the Whitehouse door for the last time.

@LuFins-Dad said in What will Biden say tomorrow?:

No attempts at unifying or healing the divide.

Well, yeah. Of course not. That's a big part of why they lost.

Not that the Orange Man will deliver that. But you can't keep going around demonizing the unwashed, then cry about losing an election because the unwashed didn't vote for your side.

@LuFins-Dad said in Reddit Upvotes:

They were also trying to manipulate community notes on Twitter.

Yep. I remember that.

Ain't irony ironical?

Looking forward to Maher tomorrow.

I'd start looking at Notre Dame, Vanderbilt, Texas A&M, Ohio State Community College, etc ...

Or even better, find Marines receiving an honorable discharge.

Being a lame duck might actually be a strength for Donald. He doesn’t have to be worried about reelection. Plus the unusually broad coalition gives him a mandate to make broad and sweeping changes. He can likely push through some of the reforms that everyone can ultimately see needs to be made.

I wonder if they’re still marketable? They could have picked up pathogens in the ‘wild’ that would confound any testing they’re used for.

I remember some irony. One of the professors over there, during the first TDS pandemic of 2016 to 2020, was on record that if he worked with anybody who supported Trump, he would quietly attempt to professionally marginalize them as much as possible. This raised no eyebrows, as it is a known thing that people with his mind virus would do. The Trump retribution against wrong-thinkers, on the other hand, is paranoia about extremely fanciful scenarios. This is the difference between the children and the adults in the room. Knowledge and acceptance of actual reality, vs paranoia about fanciful scenarios that would, even in the worst case, merely match what the other side has always lived with.

I think there are several big city mayors that might not find some new immigration rules refreshing.

Ok, who has the upper hand in trade negotiations, America or China?

A Jan 6 lawyer says,

I’ve been told for three years in DC courtrooms that using the word “fight” in political commentary is a call for revolution and incitement of violence.

VP’s don’t have immunity.

Someone might need to investigate the VP’s concession speech.

Harris used the word at least a dozen times.

Lock her up.

I was hoping this would be a story about the economic effects of deporting a bunch of low paid illegal workers.

@Axtremus said in A New Beast?:

An electrical vehicle may be 20% to 30% heavier

Considering the beast weighs 20,000 lb that's a lot of extra weight. However, considering it's flown on a C-17 Globemaster, it's probably within spec even at the higher weight. C-17 is rated at about 170,000 lb.

the matter of charging infrastructure

Something tells me that the USAF and SS could come up with a way of charging the beast while it's on the airplane.

😆😆😆
