Assuming the Democrats recapture the House in 2026, they'll probably impeach Trump four or five more times just for the hell of it.

When you have to rely on Ilhan Omar to try to make your argument, you're in really big trouble.

Between Greenland, Canada, Panama, and now Gaza, I think Trump may be an old-fashioned imperialist. Maybe we can make the Philippines a colony again.

I didn't expect that they would do any self-reflection at all. After all, what good is self-reflection when you already know everything?

True, but they do give sh it when you talk about it constantly and it seems to be your most important issue.

I can't believe that a thread on Democratic self-reflection has extended to 23 pages. I was thinking two pages at most.

If you're going to start a trade war, maybe extract something more meaningful than 10,000 troops on a 5500 mile border to deal with a fentanyl problem that isn't really much of a problem. During the last fiscal year, 43 pounds of fentanyl were seized on the Canadian border, which is 0.2% of total fentanyl seizures. Big whoop. Other than to stir things up which Trump likes to do, there just really isn't much point to this.

After two years of Trump, the Democrats should do well in the midterms. However, that might depend on the quality of their candidates. If they continue down the insane road that they're on now, they're likely to underperform in 2026, just as the Republicans did in 2022, thanks to the terrible quality of Republican candidates that year. Assuming the Democrats win back the House, they'll probably impeach Trump four or five more times before the end of his term just for the hell of it.

I noticed this as well. On at least three occasions, Nantz called a first down and then had to take it back as the refs marked the ball short of the marker. In future playoff games against the Chiefs, the Bills should assume that they need to gain at least eleven yards for a first down to account for referee slippage.

When playing the Chiefs in the playoffs next year, the Bills should probably just assume that they need at least 11 yards for a first down to account for the inevitable and consistent bad spots.

How does teaching recruits about the Tuskegee Airmen help our airmen to kill the enemy?

I sacrificed a goat and checked its entrails, and there were no signs of corruption. It looks good for this weekend.

He demonstrated true courage when he successfully fought off that rabbit while he was fishing without any help from his Secret Service agents.

Good find, and it begs the question: who has been mismanaging the hell out of the country for the last four years? Every journalist from the mainstream media attached to the White House since 2021 ought to fall on a sword and commit seppuku. They've been ignoring or hiding the biggest White House coverup since Watergate and maybe since Woodrow Wilson had a stroke and lost his capacity to govern over a hundred years ago. This story is just another nail in the coffin for the legacy media's credibility.

And the good news is that under the new administration, they'll be tried, and likely convicted and jailed rather than being released back out onto the street next week.

The Chiefs. No, not the Chiefs really. Mostly their fans. In the AFC title game this year, I would like to see Buffalo go to Arrowhead Stadium and beat the Chiefs 51-7.

This is brilliant.

In Biden's defense, he's probably forgotten that he promised not to pardon his kid.

You have to go down five places to get to anyone who resembles a moderate.

This is how you start to get a brand back on track.

Truly, it's the most diverse group of Nazis in history. 😐

1. Eliminate DEI initiatives, especially in the military where it's hampering recruitment and affecting readiness. If you're a federal employee and you ever have to sit through another training session on white fragility or systemic racism, that's one too many times. 2. Restore border security. Reinstitute Trump's Remain in Mexico policy and/or build the wall in vulnerable border areas. 3. Immigration reform. How about a merit-based system for a change? We have major shortages of engineers and doctors. Let's fix that. There's a million things that the new administration needs to do to rectify the damage done by the Biden Administration, but if they can get these things accomplished it will be a good start.

Great post! 1. The election was a thorough repudiation of progressive governance, the mainstream media, and the establishment, not necessarily in that order rather than an embrace of a new Republicanism. The liberal consensus in this country has been shattered. However, Trump doesn't have a coherent ideology, and he never will. However, we may get a good immigration bill, finally. I hope so. 2,6. Trump is exhausting and people will get tired of him fairly quickly as they did during his first term, and the Democratic Party will come roaring back in the midterms. The Democrats will be strongly favored as the Not Trump party in 2028, whether it has a coherent ideology or not and the Republican candidate is forced to defend the last four years. 4. The abortion issue is obviously a loser for Republicans. Eventually nearly every state will settle on legalizing abortions through four months or so which is similar to most European countries. Once we reach that point, the issue will be largely off the table. Not sure how long that will take. 8. Come Inauguration Day, there will be riots in some blue cities including Washington, DC. Since the riots will be characterized as "mostly peaceful," maybe they won't be too destructive. But it may be that this movement has exhausted itself and been discredited and hopefully it won't get another boost from Trump's election.

Apparently, the politics of Joy isn't all it's cracked up to be. This is a rejection of four years of terrible progressive policies, the establishment, and the mainstream media, not necessarily in that order.

It's probably time to bring this golden oldie back from 2016. It never gets old.
