This is Mike Johnson - who obviously has access to the Gaetz investigation report - admitting to what’s in it…right?

That has to be satire, doesn’t it?

Our reality is now a satire of reality.
I believe the term is pathos.

Finding out may be happening finally for Gaetz.
Also, Trump tapping up GOP House Reps for cabinet posts has left them with a 1-seat majority until special elections can fill the three open seats.
I’ll just leave this here.

Hey look! Just the national news media doing a story on how completely fucked the Trump deportation policy is, and how completely fucked the entire country will be if he ever gets to implement it.
Stay for the “have a good day”.
The fact that the finding out has begun in earnest and we’re still two months from his inauguration is both hilarious and frightening.
As votes continue to be tallied (mostly just in California at this point), Trump’s share of the vote has fallen below 50% for the third election (out of three) in a row.
During Trump’s first administration, the agriculture industry in California worked with our (Democratic) senators to negotiate a compromise with ICE that the agency would give 24 hours advance notice before conducting any inspection or raid. I don’t know if that’s possible given the tenor of this incoming administration. But I can say that this issue is something the industry spent the last several months considering and planning for.

Team Trump has plans to declare a national emergency and deploy the National Guard (at least) to start rounding up people. It doesn’t sound like they will be amenable to any kind of “gentleman’s agreement”.

If you wanted a single photo that perfectly captures how Trump demands absolute fealty from his underlings, it’s RFK Jr. being forced to eat McDonald’s.

I also appreciated the visual of them all at the UFC fight pretending to enjoy the over hyped and fake testosterone filled “Ow! My Balls!” Presentation that is the UFC.
Trump is literally that child that showed off his toys as a kid by making you play with them and compliment them.
Not all of them. JD Vance has been conspicuously absent from the victory lap they’re taking.
At least they’re keeping the “weird”, “weird”. I wonder if he isn’t just replaced before inauguration.
Can that be done? I guess they’d have to force a resignation, right? I am imagine there’s some pretty juicy Kompromat on him.
Are you talking about Vance? When Trump dies of a heart attack in a year or two they’ll have their golden boy as President for the next 20 years. He’s not going anywhere.
Musk and Bezos are asking the courts to rule the NLRB unconstitutional.
I’ll make an attempt at explaining what I meant.
Vance has CLEARLY been sidelined by Trump. It’s really not even subtle.
Right now Trump is emboldened by the electoral landslide. He thinks he can get Matt fucking Gaetz a job. (To his credit. He absolutely will.)
He’ll gleefully appoint whoever the fuck he wants to any position he wants. He’ll fire whoever the fuck he wants, too.
Are we seriously gunna just ignore what he did to the last VP?! Do you think trump jettisoning JD in 2001 (the movie) fashion would really be that big of a blip on the radar?

On this date in 1863:
"Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.
But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate – we can not consecrate – we can not hallow – this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us – that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion – that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain – that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom – and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."
Abraham Lincoln
November 19, 1863
