At some point during the first Trump administration, my wife's family and I came to a mutual agreement that it would be best for me to celebrate Thanksgiving with MY family. Clearly I don't need to elaborate. But after last night, I'm definitely breaking that truce, and making a glorious "last stand" in this, the year of our Lord, 2024.

(to give you an idea of what I'm up against; all of them, w/o exception, work in either government or education. Nothing but closed minds, as far as the eye can see.)
You are going to have an orgy for the senses
 
I've got my opinion about Trump. You've got yours.
We'll see how it plays out over the next 4 years. I honestly hope I'm wrong about the path he takes our country down.
I am an American and root for America.
I think we can all agree that the current party in power has done a hellava lot better job with the peaceful transfer of power than the last one.
So far no refusal to concede, no election denial, no riots, no rallies, no cops beaten, and no shit smeared on Capitol walls like when Trump was in power last round.
Time will tell.
But no congratulations. Only fighting words. She started out like one should expect but it quickly evolved into the same, tired leftist narrative full of buzzwords.
 
I would say THIS to her, "Fine, they're your problem now. And since you have such a soft spot for them, you can expect a steady delivery of them monthly. LIke a jelly of the month club, only instead of jelly, it's immigrants that we've vetted, but we need a place to send them, since the border areas are already stretched beyond capacity. Thanks for stepping up."

(and then I'd place a polymarket bet on her opponent, the next time she runs, because Sully at the end of the bar isn't going to take to it.)

Some of you may not be aware of this, but New Englanders, and Bostonians in particular, have occasionally been known to display some racist tendencies. Not ALWAYS though. Only when they SEE them (someone that isn't pasty white)
"Clark, that's the gift that keeps on giving all year long."
 
He might be a billionaire, but he is one of us. He waited until after the election to respond to a post about him from 2 and a half months earlier just to call them a 'libtard'

Elon put his money where is mouth is.

He didn’t even endorse Donald Trump until after the assassination attempt…didn’t put his PAC together until well after that.

Kamala counted on celebrities like Taylor Swift, Cardi B, Beyoncé, etc to gain enthusiasm in support for her campaign.

That’s NOT what people wanted (from both sides)…

Peoples dollar isn’t stretching as far as it was a few years ago; and now Elon, the best businessman in the world who is at/near the top of every industry he has his hand in…SpaceX, Tesla, Solar, Starlink, etc. is giving solutions and not the celebrity flair.

Then you have people like Kennedy, Tulsi, Vivek, etc…from all political/business spectrums pitching in as well.

THAT resonated.

The last one? You mean the party who spied on Trump and set him up with a fake dossier and wiretapping? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

There’s nothing to protest. Democrats got their butts kicked so there can be no argument on the outcome. Let’s see what happens on the day Trump is sworn into office.

THAT is workers working! And, people seeing it! I am thankful!
 
Not going to throw out my direct employer…but might be easy to guess.

Was not in WI all year. Consulted for a Senate Super PAC before being lured away to this position.

My man.

Much appreciated and will take you up on it!

But again, this isn’t on me. Had a ton of help and a fantastic staff.

Born in Louisville; raised in Chicago and NC.

Diehard CATS fan. GBB!
 
Hey Sammy, you idiot...
Peskov insisted Russian President Vladimir Putin remains open to “constructive dialogue based on fairness and equality.”

“At the moment, the U.S. administration is diametrically opposed, and what will happen in January – we will see,” he said.

Imo this started the momentum. Super important to gather these diverse viewpoints under the same tent of opposing actual fascism.

Then Elon. That was huge. He was able to vocalize and resonate with so many moderates.

The final push were the podcasts. It let people see trump and Vance without msm distortion AND the left couldn't put their moron candidates on them. The podcasts could see the dem fascism machine coming for them since they weren't spouting the propaganda lines.

I just hope when trump takes office he remembers all this. This time it wasn't just him powering through. It was a collective effort of diverse peoples and ideas all bound together to defeat literal fascism. Dont get in power and start feuding with the very people who put you there.

Furthermore this is an opportunity to pull these new voters in for the long-term. They got under the tent because their chosen guy or gal got under the tent, but now is the time to welcome them and keep them.

Trump's first term was successful mainly because of common sense and him being someone that didn't want to actively destroy the nation. This term can be so much more productive if he just learns to delegate some of the work AND some of the praise. Not in his nature. Lets hope it happens.
 
Of all the crazy loons on the left, Bernie destroyed them.....

The independent, who caucuses with Democrats, said it "should come as no great surprise that a Democratic Party which has abandoned working class people would find that the working class has abandoned them."

"First, it was the white working class, and now it is Latino and Black workers as well," Sanders continued in his statement. "While the Democratic leadership defends the status quo, the American people are angry and want change. And they're right."

Nothing to protest last time either. Sore losers vs class and believers in the peaceful transfer of power in a democracy.

Good post. It reminded me early this morning I forgot to post two articles together, one about Putin's comments regarding resetting the relationship between our countries with Trump and Netanyahu congratulating Trump for the 'greatest political comeback in history.'
The American President as Lincoln said 'was clothed with immense power'...world leaders will respond much more how we want them to when they see an American president truly willing to wield that power.

Obama and Biden only wanted to use their power to open the country up, use their power against those in the country not aligned with them politically. But with other countries, they showed nothing but weakness and view a diminished American president as better for the world. Or as Obama put it, 'leading from behind'
That is because he is used to Michelle "leading him from behind".
