My take on the Trump victory

 Kamala Harris should never have been the Democratic candidate.  Exit polling showed most voters had concerns about the cost of living and the economy.  The incumbency or in this case part of the incumbency doesn't normally win with that kind of data.  The Democrats should have gone with someone outside the WH and surprised there was no real discussion of this apparently between the time Biden dropped out of thr race and the start of the DNC.  They may have still lost with another candidate but their chances would have been at least slightly better imo.


There will be the liberal wailing and gnashing of teeth over the next four years.  Also Trump will be dealing with a hostile media on a daily basis led by the New York Times.  As my friend said let the man do his job and finish the work he started.  IF he had won the last time against Biden he'd be nearing the end of his second term right now and liberals and the Left could finally get on with their lives or at least be free of the TDS episodes and suffering.  Instead this is what you got deal with it.  You're out of tune with the American people.

  1. You prognosticated correctly. With control of the white house, both
    legislatures and SCOTUS, the old guy can do pretty much anything he wants. Which is what?

  2. Yes but I don't think it's what Whoopie Goldberg and Oprah Winfrey have in mind.

  5. Musk I don't really have an issue with. He'll be running some kind of government waste or efficiency commission. RFK Jr. I really don't care if they take fluoride out of the water but toothpaste is another matter. Thomas Sowell the black conservative columnist could definitely be room for him. Hulk - cultural affairs. Steve Bannon out of the prison in Danbury.

    1. You don't find this stressful at times these online fights? I'm thinking it can run you down physically and complaining about Trump for the next four years probably ain't good for anyone's health. In moderation but approaching forums or blogs with a gladiatorial spirit generally is non-productive even if cathartic.

  8. Not getting the Peanut the Squirrel thing. Rodents generally don't carry rabies which is not to say it's not possible to my knowledge but it's not common. The small squirrel apparently bit a NYS investigator probably out of self-defense if I have the story right and they took the man's pet squirrel away and euthanized it. Gov. Hochul defended this action but says if you voted for Trump you're anti-American. All I can think of was Bob Ross used to have pet squirrels he sometimes showed on his painting show. It's not like the guy was keeping a cougar or a wolverine.

  9. I feed the squirrels all winter long. They wait on the kitchen deck. They don't bite me and I don't bit them. Although today I'm foaming at the mouth. Capciche? We call our wildlife feeding station "JoAnn's Nuthouse' Next month the Oregon Juncos come in from Canada and we put out birdfeed as well. Assistants to Mom Nature.

  10. Try that in Gov. Kathy Hochul's New York State. She's a bit squirrelly herself.
