Well, Well, Well-- Nuclear Ed.

When Trump had the Iranian nuclear complexes bombed in 2025, he said that their nuclear program had been completely obliterated.

Then just after he started this stupid war, he said that the Iranian nuclear program had been wiped out.

Well, now, he's offering big rewards:

So I guess it's not obliterated.

Anyway, somebody would have to be really stupid to trust Trump's word on this. He'd figure out a way to either stiff them entirely or take a piece of the action. And "possible relocation"... to where? Chad?

Shorter Trump: Fuck You, America.

President Donald Trump said Friday that Stephen Miller was replacing Susie Wiles as White House chief of staff, installing as his closest adviser a loyal, combative bulldog for his “America First” agenda as the president prepares to stare down a newly empowered Democratic Congress next year.

Oh, he said he was willing to work with Democrats, but this is a declaration of war. There's going to be no reaching across the aisle. Pee-Wee German is the most racist, misogynistic, homophobic, transphobic, Islamophobic, xenophobic, and all around shitheel of a person that the Senile Old Fat Fuck could find.

Prepare for massive governmental misfunction when he's not trying to sell out Ukraine and Alaska to Putin.

Shit's going to get worse until the Republicans in Congress grow a spine and do something.

Strap in, folks.

Gloating These Down, Here

I hoped the margin would be big enough. And it was.

Because It's Friday

Six-cylinder action and no safety diesel on what appears to be a mainline track:

Locking Them Down, Here

Trump: "Pretend I'm On the Ballot."Democrats: "OK!!"

He said that, even though he's trying to run away from it now. And voters did.

A year or so ago, the pundits were saying that it was highly unlikely that the Democrats could flip the Senate and even if they did so, it would be by one or two seats.

Four seats and it's possible that two more may be added. Between that and the House, where the Democrats will have 225 seats and there are almost sixty seats left to be decided. Trump's rubber-stamp Congress will be over. It may be gone, now, as those Republicans who were fired by their constituents will have no reason to keep bowing to him.

The Democrats also flipped the governorships in some red states, including Texas and Georgia. In both states, Democrats took the office of attorney general.

A few thoughts.

Besides the economy, the Republicans' heavy reliance on hate-based politicking backfired. Trump's gerrymandering not only backfired, it may have driven voters to the polls in those districts. Fetterman was probably counting on having a lot of influence if the Democrats got to 51 seats. Now, he'll be little more than an annoyance.

And anyone who is now babbling about how the Democrats stole the election should be pitied, for they clearly need some professional help.

Georgia On My Mind or Hurrah, Hurrah, We Bring the Jubilee!

Black women seem to have won both the governorship (Keisha Bottoms) and the state AG(Tanya Miller). Bottoms beat some healthcare billionaire. And Jon Ossof cruised to victory in the Senate race.

The Confederacy Party did its best to suppress the Black vote. People were having none of that shit this yesr.

There will be ketchup hurled in the White House tonight.

No Person Who Loves Freedom Can Hate Musk Enough

Just fucking despicable:

After Elon Musk ordered his company SpaceX to throttle Ukraine’s satellite internet service amid disagreements over its military operations earlier this month, the company suggested that Ukraine’s government upgrade its plan to avoid service interruptions, new reporting finds.

"Nice country you have here. Be a shame if something happened to it." Musk is operating like a Chicago hood running a protection racket.

Hopefully, one day his corrupt ass will be deported back to South Africa (or to CECOT).
