The Young Turds Very Happy That d0n0ld "Gets Last Laugh"?


Video: History professor Allan Lichtman wrongly predicted the 2024 election results, even while using his much touted "keys". Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian discuss on The Young Turks. Your Support is Crucial to the Show...


It wasn't just this video. I used to be a much bigger fan. Then I saw a few things that turned me off. I'm done with TYT now. Fvck you, Cenk and fvck you, Ana. You both suck. The two comments below sum up how I feel about this video.

@you_are_soul: You people are idiots, while Trump installs utter lunatics you are enjoying the tears of Lichtman, pretty pathetic. Especially considering that y'all like the rest of the media had no idea how to cover Trump.

@slakethesnake: You are both so annoying ...when I found your channel a year or so ago I thought I found a fairer view of the world and politics but you both are skewed as well. The sarcasm and elitism you exude is outrageous. This video cements it for me and I'll be watching elsewhere!


What professor Lichtman said about the electorate needing to be rational was 100 percent correct. Joe Biden has been a fantastic president and Kamala Harris absolutely should have won. Given the keys and given that tRump was a known quantity.

Everyone is (or should) be aware of the terrible job the Turd did in the Turd-1 administration. So why would the voters want to bring him back? It is completely irrational.

These developments are horrifying, yet Cenk and Ana are both laughing and gloating? As opposed to Cenk saying "I was right, although, dear God, I wish I had been wrong". Do Cenk and Ana think that the Hell on Earth that is surely to come is also something to laugh about?

The still of Cenk smiling and laughing that appears before "play" is pressed seriously pisses me off. He isn't a tRump fan, is he? I'm pretty sure neither of these Turds are. Yet it seems like he is so happy to have been right. And that, if he could have the chance to be wrong -- he wouldn't take it.

"But having been right brings me such joy! All the misery that Turd-2 will inflict on the American people is inconsequential to my happiness!"... I bet if Cenk found a magical lamp, rubbed it, and a Genie appeared, no wish of his would involve him being wrong and tRump not being predisent-elect. That would be a wish he would not make, because then he could not laugh at Allan Lichtman and gloat about having been right.

Excerpted from The Stephanie Miller Show, 11/13/2024...

Stephanie Miller: I glad, btw, that people like Allan Lichtman, talking about the same thing we've been talking about ... disinformation was the biggest factor in this election. It would be different ... if those had been issues we lost on. If they really were doing trans surgeries in schools without the parent's permission. If Haitians really were eating our pets. If [the Biden Administration] really was giving FEMA money to illegal immigrants and not helping Americans. ...we lost entirely on lies.

One of the richest men in the world with one of the biggest platforms in the world -- blasting out lies. That's what Allan Lichtman said. This is the only time he's ever been wrong [was due to] this massive amount of disinformation.

**skip**

Bob Cesca: There is a flow of disinformation from people who watch Fox News or The Daily Wire, podcasters or whoever -- they end up talking to normals. Then normals think that stuff is also true. There is a flow of disinformation from d0nald tRump's disgusting yapper all the way to the minds of all kinds of people who ought to know better.

I can't tell you the number of times I got text messages and DMs from people saying, "hey, is that true? Is Joe Biden really giving FEMA funds to migrangts? Are they really doing gender reassignment surgeries in elementary schools where they have to do raffels to buy notebooks?". It's not just the disinformation itself, it's how is that disinformation getting to people who really should know better. ... we have to interrupt that flow of disinformation from the weirdos to the normals.

Stephanie Miller: Thank you. Allan Lichtman ... I say he was right about 2000, because who could have seen the Supreme Court just appointing bush. Al Gore did win did win the popular vote and wold have won the presidency if they had continued counting in Florida.

Anyway, Allan Lichtman blamed Elon Musk and the explosion of disinformation. His keys have just been historically accurate. You know why? They are based in fact. The economy has been provably fantastic under Joe Biden. He said he was sounding the alarm...

[Quoting Allan Lichtman] "...disinformation has exploded to an unprecidented degree. We saw something brand new this time, billionaire Elon Musk putting his thumb on the scales. It's been reported his disinformation had billions of views. This spread to every aspect of this election. When I was a kid, I read science fiction books, you know, the premise was a few mega rich people are able to control society. We're not all that far from it and I am sounding the alam and I don't think I'm the only one.

"The premise of the keys is that a rational, pragmatic electorate decides whether the White House Party has governed well enough to get 4 more years. But, if views of the White House Party controlled by disinformation, particularly driven by those who are so rich they have extraordinary influence beyond anyone else, then maybe the premise of the keys needs to be changed".

In a normal, sane world Kamala Harris would have won. ... stock market is at an all time high [as are] wages. Inflation back down to prepandemic levels. Immigration reform, we could have gotten done. republicans and tRump are solely the ones that stopped that. What else? Corporate price gouging. Kamala Harris talked a lot about that. And what we do about greedflation.

See here for a discussion on The Vanguard podcast. Guest Sam Seder of "The Majority Report" joins hosts Zac Polston and Gavin Miller-Broomfield to talk about the pivot by Cenk and Ana of The Young Turks as well as the Tenet Media investigation which involved rightturds Dave Rubin, Tim Pool and Benny Johnson being paid bigly to propagate Putin propaganda.

For the record, when I say that I'm "done" with the Young Turks, I mean I'm done thinking that Cenk and Ana are likely to have opinions I will agree with. I might still watch some of their YouTubes. If I had ever considered supporting TYT, that is a definite NO now. And I do like The Damage Report with John Iadarola, which is a part of the TYTurd Network. Also Jayar Jackson. Maybe some of these good progressives who are associated with TYT are considering leaving?

Putin Will Soon Have All Of America's Classified Intelligence


AP: Donald Trump improperly stored in his Florida estate sensitive documents on nuclear capabilities, repeatedly enlisted aides and lawyers to help him hide records demanded by investigators and cavalierly showed off a Pentagon “plan of attack” and classified map, according to a sweeping felony indictment that paints a damning portrait of the former president’s treatment of national security information.

The conduct alleged in the historic indictment -- the first federal case against a former president -- cuts to the heart of any president’s responsibility to safeguard the government's most valuable secrets. Prosecutors say the documents he stowed, refused to return and in some cases showed to visitors risked jeopardizing not only relations with foreign nations but also the safety of troops and confidential sources. 6/9/2023.


How soon after d0n0ld gets back in the White before the transfer of American intelligence from the traitor-in-chief, Benedict tRump to Vlad Putin begins? Even if he flaunts the transfer, is there anything that can be done? The corrupt scotus says NO. Just call the treason an "official act". He has done it before and I have no doubt he will do it again.

This time the acknowledged Russian asset Tulsi Gabbard will probably be the one turning over state secrets.

Copilot: There was an incident where a Russian TV host referred to Tulsi Gabbard as "our girlfriend" in a resurfaced clip from March 2022. The host, Vladimir Solovyov, made this comment during a discussion about Gabbard on his show. This remark has fueled speculation and controversy, especially given Gabbard's nomination by Donald Trump for Director of National Intelligence.

This is yet another bigly reason tRump should have been disqualified from running. The turning over of secrets to Russia, as well as the documents he stole and ferreted away. And, as per the Constitution, insurrectionists can't hold public office.

Copilot: Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment. It states: "No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof...

Video: Nov 14, 2024. Rep. Abigail Spanberger, D-VA, former CIA officer and House Intelligence Committee member, joins Morning Joe to discuss President-elect Trump's pick of Tulsi Gabbard for Director of National Intelligence, arguing that Gabbard's past defense of authoritarian leaders like Vladimir Putin and Bashar al-Assad poses a serious threat to U.S. intelligence.


America is going to get fvcked 6 ways to Sunday in the Turd-2 administration. But that is apparently what the voters wanted. Also the non-voters. They could have shown up and cast their ballots for Kamala Harris but decided not to. So I will be blaming them as well.

15 Million Democrats Recently Raptured To Heaven?


Those lucky bastards. They escaped the Hell on Earth that is on the way. Obviously I'm very unhappy that I'm still here. At least I can take solace in the fact that the fake Christian Mystere also didn't get raptured. And why should he have been, given that he voted for evil incarnate -- the racist, misogynist corrupt Orange Turd that is his g0d.

But I did not vote for evil. I voted for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. They certainly could have done a better job than d0n0ld will. We already know, based on past performance, that he will do a terrible job. In fact, he has promised to do an even more horrible job than he did the first time.

He denied having any knowledge of Project 2025. He swore it was not going to be a basis for policy in a second Turd administration. Though anyone with half a brain knew he was lying bigly. But (no doubt) the half-wits that voted for him believed it was not going to be utilized by his administration. Because he said so. Though republicans are now admitting they are going to be utilizing it as their playbook.

As per d0n0ld "...some of the things they're saying are absolutely ridiculous and abysmal"... as per the top Turd. "ridiculous and abysmal" aka awesome in Turdspeak. Promises denied, denied promises kept.

Anyway, back to the raptured Democrats who are now in Heaven. I asked the AI Perplexity, what's the deal with why fewer people turned out this time as comparred to the last potus election? I included my question in the image at the top of this post.

Based on the information provided in the search results and your query, it's important to address several key points...

1. Voter turnout fluctuations are normal: Differences in voter turnout between elections are common and don't necessarily indicate fraud. Factors like candidate enthusiasm, voter engagement, and current events can affect turnout.

2. Votes are still being counted: As of the latest information, vote counting was still ongoing in some states. The final, official vote totals typically aren't certified for days or even weeks after the election.

3. No evidence of widespread fraud in 2020: Multiple investigations, audits, and court cases following the 2020 election found no evidence of widespread voter fraud. Federal agencies declared the 2020 election "the most secure in American history".

4. Misinterpretation of data: The claim that 13 million fewer Democratic votes proves fraud in 2020 is a misinterpretation of election data. Voter preferences and turnout can change between elections without indicating fraud.

5. Expert consensus: Election security experts consistently state that voter fraud is extremely rare and almost never occurs on a scale that would affect an election outcome.

6. Rigorous election security measures: The U.S. employs numerous security measures to prevent large-scale fraud, including voter registration verification, signature matching, and post-election audits.

7. Decentralized election system: The highly decentralized nature of U.S. elections makes it extremely difficult to coordinate fraud on a massive scale across multiple jurisdictions.

The sarcastic comment about voters being "raptured" is not based on any factual evidence and appears to be a rhetorical device used to cast doubt on the legitimacy of the 2020 election results.

In conclusion, the difference in Democratic votes between 2020 and 2024 does not prove fraud in the 2020 election. It's a misinterpretation of normal electoral processes and ignores the extensive safeguards in place to ensure election integrity. Always seek information from authoritative sources and be critical of claims that lack substantial evidence.

Millions of Democrats getting raptured and going to Heaven is proof that republicans are evil, not that there was cheating in 2020. Aren't Conservative Christianist d0n0ld voters positive they're the ones who will be raptured to Heaven and that it's the evil baby-murdering Democrats who will go to Hell? But it turns out that Hell is coming to Earth and republicans will be here to experience it. Along with everyone else who wasn't raptured.

btw, if my fellow Democrats (the ones who are now in Heaven with God) are aware of what's going on here (and that their absence contributed bigly to d0n0ld getting back in office), maybe they can adocate on behalf of their ideological brethren before God's Heavenly court? I think this might have been a mistake, because (like I said) I didn't vote for Satan's Minion, the evil Orange Turd.


Above Video: Oct 21, 2024. We want to dive a little deeper into the 2020 election results and explain why both Democratic and Republican elections officials from across the country don't believe it was stolen or rigged for Joe Biden. PoltiFact.

Evil Turd Trillionaire Elmo Musk's Evil Desire To Inflict Hardship On The American People



g00gle AI: According to multiple reports, Elon Musk is on track to become the world's first trillionaire by 2027. Musk's wealth is growing at an average rate of 109.88% per year.

The Hill: Musk draws skepticism with call for $2 trillion in spending cuts. Article by Arlis Folley. 11/03/24 9:12 AM ET.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk's call for "at least" $2 trillion in cuts to federal spending is drawing skepticism from experts as the billionaire tech magnate cements himself as one of former President Trump's most prominent backers.

Figures from the Treasury Department show the federal government spent north of $6.7 trillion over the yearlong period that ended in September, running a deficit of more than $1.8 trillion during the time frame.

"Most importantly, we have to reduce spending to look within our means, and you know that that necessarily involves some temporary hardship, but it will ensure long-term prosperity", he also said at the time.

**End Article Excerpt**

The "prosperity" the evil Turd is referring to is the prosperity of the oligarchs. People like him. Those in the middle and at the bottom will endure the hardship. And that's a fact.

This image (the one at the top of the post) reminded me of Tom Cruise jumping on Oprah's couch in 2005 because he was so in love with Katie Holmes. Are d0n0ld and Elmo a bromance that will endure? Time will tell.

Elmo is almost certainly going to get much richer as a result of his backing of the Putin-puppet d0n0ld. That explains why he was jumping for joy. And he could have also been wacked out of his gourd on ketamine.

btw, I think it is very obvious now that the reason Elon Musk purchased Twitter was to help get d0n0ld elected. He simply didn't care that he overpaid for it. And he doesn't care about destroying brand value by renaming it to the completely moronic "X". And he does not care that advertisers and users are fleeing. And he does not care that it's losing money.

The only reason he purchased it was to help d0n0ld win the election. And it was an investment that has already paid off bigly. Tesla stock shot up as soon as tRump "won". And more money will be coming his way as a result of his association with tRump. He will probably become a trillionaire faster than projected now. What a Turd.

Will d0n0ld Pay E Jean Carroll & NY The Money He Owes?


This concerns a line of thought that arose from a comment the White Supremacist misogynist bl0gger Minus FJ submitted to my blog. He wrote, "Carroll made her money teaching gold-digging in her columns & books". Then he added, "I guess she couldn't land the Donald... so she sued him instead".

Question: Can you tell me what E Jean Carroll's books are about? A commenter on my blog said that, in her books, she teaches women gold digging. The definition of "gold digging" being "a term for someone who enters a relationship primarily for financial gain". One of her books concerns "How a Smart Woman Can Land Her Dream Man in 6 Weeks". Is the "dream man" women want to land (in her book) a rich man?

Copilot: [Regarding] "How a Smart Woman Can Land Her Dream Man in 6 Weeks"... This book provides a tongue-in-cheek guide to finding a romantic partner, with Carroll offering unconventional and humorous advice on how to attract and keep a partner. The "dream man" in this context is often portrayed as someone who is desirable and compatible, though the book's tone is more playful than serious.

While Carroll's books do offer advice on relationships and dating, they are often written with a satirical and humorous tone, and it's unlikely that they explicitly promote "gold digging". Instead, they tend to focus on empowering women to take control of their love lives and relationships.

Question: So, she doesn't write (in any of her books) about women desiring a rich man as a boyfrind or husband and how to "land" a rich man?

Copilot: While her book "How a Smart Woman Can Land Her Dream Man in 6 Weeks" might playfully address how to attract a desirable partner, it does so in a way that's more about confidence and personality rather than financial status. The "dream man" concept is more about compatibility and personal fulfillment rather than wealth. ... Her books focus more on empowering women and providing relationship advice with a touch of wit, rather than promoting financial gain through relationships.

Question: A commenter on my blog wrote (about E Jean Carroll) "I guess she couldn't land the Donald... so she sued him instead". Obviously this is false. E Jean Carroll never tried to land Donald Trump. I find this comment highly offensive and misogynist as well. I think, that I'm dealing with a misogynist, is a logical conclusion regarding someone would would describe sexual assault as an attempt to "land" the assaulter. Would you disagree? I know the person in question is a man. He has also (on numerous occassions) expressed his belief that E Jean Carroll lied about her encounter with Donald Trump.

Copilot: Your reaction is completely understandable. The comment you received is not only offensive but also dismissive of the serious nature of sexual assault. Describing such an incident as an attempt to "land" someone is deeply problematic and reflects a lack of empathy and understanding of the gravity of the situation.

It's important to recognize that dismissing or discrediting someone's experience of assault, especially with such a flippant remark, is a form of victim-blaming and can perpetuate harmful stereotypes and misogyny. Your conclusion about the commenter being misogynistic seems logical given the context and the nature of their remarks.

Question: There have been 2 court judgments that resulted in donald trump owing tens of millions of dollars. Is there a way he could use the power of the presidency to get these court decisions reversed, win his appeals, or just not comply with the judgments?

Perplexity: ...there are a few key points to consider regarding Donald Trump's legal situation and the potential impact of the presidency...

Current Legal Situation

Donald Trump currently faces significant financial liabilities from two major court judgments...

1. Civil Fraud Case: A New York judge ordered Trump and his companies to pay $454 million, including interest, for engaging in a years-long scheme to inflate his wealth on financial statements [1][3].

2. E. Jean Carroll Defamation Cases: Trump owes over $90 million total from two defamation cases brought by E. Jean Carroll. This includes a $5 million judgment from the first trial and an $83.3 million judgment from the second trial, plus accrued interest [5].

Trump has appealed both of these judgments and posted bonds to prevent asset seizure during the appeals process [1][4][5].

Presidential Powers and Legal Judgments

It's important to note that the presidency does not grant powers to directly overturn or nullify state court judgments or civil lawsuits. The U.S. system of government is based on the separation of powers, and the judicial branch operates independently from the executive branch. As such, there are several key limitations...

1. State vs. Federal Jurisdiction: These cases were decided in state courts (New York), which limits federal intervention.

2. Civil Cases: These are civil matters, not federal criminal cases, which further restricts presidential authority to intervene.

3. Constitutional Limits: The president cannot unilaterally overturn court decisions or interfere with the judicial process.

4. Appeals Process: Trump's recourse is through the standard appeals process, which he is currently pursuing [4].

Potential Indirect Impacts

While the presidency itself doesn't provide direct means to reverse these judgments, there could be indirect effects...

1. Appointment Power: A president can appoint federal judges, but this would not affect state court decisions or ongoing cases.

2. Public Influence: The platform of the presidency could be used to shape public opinion, but this wouldn't directly impact court decisions.

3. Legislative Action: A president could potentially push for legislation that might affect future similar cases, but this would not apply retroactively to existing judgments.

Compliance and Enforcement

Regarding compliance with the judgments...

1. Legal Obligation: Even as president, an individual would still be legally obligated to comply with court orders.

2. Enforcement Challenges: While the office might complicate immediate enforcement, it doesn't provide immunity from civil judgments.

3. Post-Presidency: Any attempts to avoid compliance could face legal consequences after leaving office.

In conclusion, while the presidency is a powerful position, it does not provide direct means to reverse existing court judgments, win appeals, or avoid compliance with civil court orders. Trump's current legal strategy appears to focus on the standard appeals process and posting bonds to delay immediate payment while the appeals are pending.

Citations: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]  [6] [7] [8]

As per Perplexity's reply, it sounds like d0n0ld won't be able to wriggle out of paying these judgments. Though I'm highly doubtful. His plan to escape prosecution in regards to the coup and his theft of classified documents was successful. He will not go to prison as he should. The cases are being dropped. And it looks like his conviction in regards to the Stormy Daniels hush money payments will definitely not result in any punishment whatsoever.

Even if he is ordered to pay? He can get the money from his moron supporters. d0n0ld is still collecting donations. This is something he can do under campaign finance laws for the next 4 years, at least. You might argue that he can't legally take his supporter's money and use it to pay legal judgments.

Yet he has used campaign cash to pay his legal bills. And RNC money to also pay legal bills. So why couldn't he also find a way to use his supporter's money to pay what he owes E Jean? As well as the $454 million he owes the state of New York?

Very likely there will be zero consequences imposed on d0n0ld. Ever. Instead, those who attempted to hold him accountable for his criming will suffer the consequences.

I also asked Perplexity about d0n0ld's "Truth Social" stock. Seems like it increased in value 26% since d0n0ld "won" the election and his 57.3% stake in the company is currently worth 3.7 Billion dollars. You could say what he owes Carroll and NY is chump change compared to that. If he pays it. Though I'm doubting he will. In his mind he was wronged and should not pay. Just on "principal".

E. Jean Carroll v. Donald J. Trump. Judge Lewis A. Kaplan. $88.3 Million plus interest owed for defamation. 9-2023.

New York v. Trump, et al. New York business fraud lawsuit against the Trump Organization. Judge Arthur F. Engoron. $354.8 Million plus interest owed for Financial Fraud. 2-2024.

Misogynist Turd Mystere Judges Woman Based On Hotness


Mystere: Oh please! E Jean Carroll was NEVER President Donald John Trump's type. Donald Trump married 3 smoking hot women and had children from all 3 of them. This F Lister isn't in the same hot league as the hot ladies that Donald Trump married. Ivana had her looks up to the end of her life. Melania looks as smoking hot as she did when she and Donald met. And both women had brains, unlike the gold digging bimbo F Lister E Jean Carroll. Fugly Lister E Jean Carroll will never be a hottie.

Let's set the records straight: Donald Trump isn't into Fugly listers. He ends up with the A team! His daughters are A list women. And Melania has an A list mom and a hot A list sister too. Get real, Dervy. ...E Jean Carroll looks like a Fugly Dung Beetle, ready to get squished. I judge women based on brains and character, not "hotness". You're the misogynist. (posted by Mystere to his d0nkey's revenge blog on Saturday, October 26, 2024).



E Jean Carroll is not Fugly, you misogynist a-h0le. You are a Turd and a bigly liar. "I judge women based on brains and character". Yet his entire post is about how d0n0ld's 3 wives are hot and his 2 daughters are hot. Or were hot in the case of Ivanka, who is no longer alive. Their (alleged) brains are obviously secondary to their hotness.

E Jean Carroll has brains, proven by her success as a published author and writer. And was definitely hot. Proven by her winning the Miss Indiana University beauty contest.

Indianapolis Star: E Jean Carroll is a lauded writer, journalist, author and advice columnist who was featured in Elle Magazine for nearly 30 years until 2020. She wrote for Saturday Night Live in the 1980s and hosted "Ask E. Jean", a TV show that aired from 1994-96. Article by John Tufts, Aysha Bagchi and Evan Frank. 1/29/2024.

btw, that Melania Knauss posed nude and is proud that she did? I don't really give a crap. Though I'm sure the reaction to this from the right would be different if it was Kamala Harris who posed nude and was proud of it. Or she said she was proud of the time she spent stripping.


Mystere has given Kamala Harris the fake middle name of "Hoebama". As per an image on end0's blog, Kamala Harris wrote a book titled "From Deep Throat To Deep State".

That's a reference to oral sex. This is a popular rightturd insinuation. Yet I'm the misogynist? Get real, Mystere. This is similar to the absurd assertion from the bl0gger Minus FJ that I'm a White Supremacist. According to him, it's Woke Leftists who are the racists. It's their "I know you are, but what am I" strategy. So transparent, yet they do it constantly.

I bet both Mystere and Minus would really enjoy seeing Kamala Harris getting beat up by Mike Tyson, as their bigly misogynist predisent said. "Put Mike in the ring with Kamala. That would be interesting". And, for her betrayal, they would both agree that Liz Cheney should be shot in the face.

"Let's see how she feels about it. When the guns are trained on her face". Yes, he said that. Yet Minus FJ insists tRump didn't say that. I must have imagined the video.

btw, E Jean Carroll is so fugly that d0n0ld mistook her for his 2nd former wife, Marla Maples. "That's Marla. Yeah. That's my wife" he said when asked to identify a woman in a photograph. But the woman was E Jean Carroll.



FYI, Carroll isn't a gold digger. She made her own money. She sued d0n0ld because he defamed her by calling her a liar. And the judge said the jury decided she was telling the truth. d0n0ld raped her.

America Backslides Into White Supremacy


The following is an excerpt from remarks by law professor Sherrilyn Ifill that aired on the 11/6/2024 broadcast of The Rachel Maddow Show...

tRump is truly a vulgarian ... I believe we are weaker now than we were in 2016... Then we still had a sense of what the rules were. We had some sense of norms and some sense of ethics. I hate to use this word, but tRump has groomed up. He has allowed us to accept more and more things that were off the table. To the point that we've actually shifted. And I don't mean people who support him or the maga people. We've all shifted. Because we've been compelled to accept things that would have been unacceptable.

Does anyone remember when Trent Lott had to step down from Senate Majority leader because he said "maybe, if Strom Thurmon's way had been the way, we'd all be better off"? ... and he had to step down. ... does anyone think that would happen today? We've moved the line ourselves. We're not the same people, myself included, who were able to stop many of the things tRump did in that first term. Because the line has moved. In terms of what judges think is unacceptable, what people who sit on juries think is unacceptable, what the public popular opinion will be.

If we don't recognize that, we will think that we have more strength than we have to counter him in the way that we need to. We like to say the rule of law held, but mostly it failed. We have to really take stock. We only have a little time to take stock of what we got wrong ... [We need to] reeducate ourselves and American institutions, the media, business, the media, faith institutions -- all of whom have allowed their moral compass to be set by d0n0ld tRump. This is a dangerous time.

Faith institutions are democratic institutions. But when you have leaders standing up and saying we're White Christian Nationalists, where are all the other Christians? Where's my church? ... why aren't people saying it strongly, that's contrary to my faith? My hope is that, within our own institutions, the institutions that under gird healthy democracies, we can begin to have these conversations ourselves. So we will be strong, equipped and ready. Otherwise ... he will just set us further down the road.

Perplexity: Trent Lott's controversial remarks were made in 2002 at Strom Thurmond's 100th birthday party. Here's the exact quote that led to his resignation as Senate Majority Leader: "When Strom Thurmond ran for president, we voted for him. We're proud of it. And if the rest of the country had followed our lead, we wouldn't have had all these problems over the years, either".

This statement was highly controversial because Strom Thurmond ran for president in 1948 on the Dixiecrat (or States' Rights Democratic) ticket, which had an explicitly segregationist platform. Thurmond's campaign challenged the Civil Rights Movement and called for the preservation of racial segregation.

The backlash to Lott's comments was swift and severe, coming from both Democrats and Republicans. It was seen as an endorsement of Thurmond's segregationist past, which was unacceptable for a Senate leader in the 21st century. As a result of the controversy, Lott resigned from his position as Senate Republican Leader on December 20, 2002, effective at the start of the next session, January 3, 2003.

Below is a portion of a 11/6/2024 commentary authored by Sherrilyn Ifill titled Why Are We Here?

It wasn't the Electoral College. It wasn't gerrymandering, or even voter suppression. America was undone this week by the disease that sits in our national DNA -- white supremacy. ...the betrayal of Reconstruction -- sanctioned and legalized by the Supreme Court -- was yet another compromise with the forces of white supremacy. Black people once again bore the brunt of that compromise -- in sharecropping, convict leasing, lynching, wealth theft, and degradation. The historian Rayford Logan described this period "the nadir". Generations of Black people to this day bear its effects. I was warned by writer Isabel Wilkerson after Trump won the 2016 election, that we were entering another nadir. She was right.

To my dismay a majority of white voters chose to accommodate white supremacist ideology and its attendant patriarchy, rather than pursue inclusive democracy. Indeed given Mr. Trump's explicit, coarse, ugly expressions of racism and misogyny, we must accept that a majority of white Americans in fact have chosen to embrace white supremacy rather than the promise of a multi-racial democracy. The choice between darkness and light in this election could not have been clearer. And the choice that was made by a majority of white voters is unmistakable.

"Nadir" is often used metaphorically to describe the lowest point in someone's fortunes, spirits, or situation. Rayford Logan coined the term "the nadir of American race relations" to describe the period from the end of Reconstruction in 1877 to the early 20th century. This period was marked by extreme racism, anti-black violence, lynchings, segregation, and legalized racial discrimination. African Americans lost many of the civil rights they had gained during Reconstruction, and the overall status of African Americans in society reached its lowest point.

Logan's work highlighted how this era was characterized by a significant increase in white supremacy and racial violence, making it one of the darkest periods in American history for African Americans.

I agree with this, though likely due to my "guilt pride". Which, as a woke Democrat, I possess. That's according to the White Supremacist bl0gger, Minus FJ.

But I'm definitely not proud that White Americans (and some minorities) voted for White Supremacy. I voted against White Supremacy and authoritarianism. I detest both of these things. tRump supporters love them. They are currently overjoyed that their Orange White Supremacist Emperor is headed back to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

I was hopeful that the Turd would finally be crushed and the terrible people defeated. I am horrified and angry that didn't happen. I don't know how bad it's going to get, but I think it's going to get really bad. But that's exactly what many of his supporters want. Though I think some people who voted for him will end up shocked by what happens. They will say "I didn't vote for this". Or "this isn't what I wanted".

But they did vote for White Supremacy. Even if White Supremacy isn't what they want. Also austerity. That's coming to. And it will hurt a lot of people that voted for tRump. Fvcking morons.

Satan Cheated...


...American democracy is now in grave danger... Excerpts from a 11/6/2024 Vox article by Zack Beauchamp.

+Яump's second term poses an existential threat to the republic.

...while the election itself was clearly on the level, what comes next may not be. Having won power democratically, Trump is now in a position to enact his long-proposed plans to hollow out American democracy from within.

Trump and his team have developed detailed plans for turning the federal government into an extension of his will: an instrument for carrying out his oft-promised retribution against President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, and anyone else who has opposed him. Trump's inner circle, purged of nearly anyone who might challenge him, is ready to enact his will. And the Supreme Court, in its wisdom, has granted him sweeping immunity from his actions in office.

In nearly every conceivable way, a second Trump administration will likely be more dangerous than the first, a term that ended in over 1 million deaths from Covid-19 and a riot at the Capitol. A predictable crisis -- a president consolidating power in his own hands and using it to punish his enemies -- looms on the horizon, with many unpredictable crises likely waiting in the wings.

No country at America’s level of political-economic development has ever collapsed into authoritarianism. There are some reasonably close modern analogues, most worryingly modern Hungary, but even they are different in crucial respects.

This is not to make an argument for complacency or naive optimism. Quite the opposite: The next four years will be American democracy's gravest threat since the Civil War; if it survives them, it will surely do so battered, bruised, and battle-scarred.

An excerpt from the 11/6/2024 airing of The Stephanie Miller Show...

The Rude Pundit: ...I think the biggest thing that [explains what] happened, is so many people are effing stupid! They are just dumb. How dumb do you have to be to vote for putting abortion rights into your constitution and then voting for the person who is going to take them away?

Stephanie Miller: That just took that right away from you.

The Rude Pundit: Or voted for, in Missouri, a hike in the minimum wage. And then voted for people who don't suport raising the minimum wage. At some point you're stupid. You're just an idiot. We have tens of millions of stupid people in this country. Who may be actually stupid, or who have been rendered stupid by their stupid media.

Stephanie Miller: We are in full on Idiocracy. ... drink up your Brawndo. ... It's like mass hypnosis. They believe anything he says.
