So, of course, the United States of 🤡s turned the keys over to an incompetent buffoon.

My one wish for the inauguration is that there is a gift bag under the seats of Bezos, Zuck, Elon etc, with a single, embroidered , padded knee pad Need to protect themselves when they are on bended knee, kissing the ring 🤷😆

Pence decided to hang there….

2009 Obama 28°F 1977 Carter 28°F 1961 Kennedy 22°F It’s not about the cold… it’s about the small crowd size.

I guess every tech titan decided spontaneously to give Trump’s inauguration committee a check for $1 million as opposed to this being some kind of protection racket or tribute. I think that’s it, the spontaneous thing.

If Kamala Harris had won she would not have invited Xi to her inauguration. BUT... if she had and Xi had declined there would have been at least three conservative news cycles braying about her looking "weak." For Trump there won't be much beyond this story. www.cbsnews.com/news/chinas-...

Epic

Now Trump can pardon hundreds of thugs who beat cops in an attempt to storm the Capitol to stop the electoral count and Dems can’t criticize that because of Hunter is the world’s stupidest take.

A conversation last night with a Trump voter: Him: "Joe, you gotta move on. Trump won." Me: "Can't move on. We just elected a dictator." Him: "Bullshit. Sure, he'll try to be a dictator, but he won't succeed. Me: "But why would you vote for someone who'd TRY to be a dictator?" He just shrugged.

Ok, @bsky.app you have to do something about the porn bots. The rats are out and scurrying about.

Many of us thought Trump’s mass deportation promise would hit Latinos hard pre-election. But we missed that he managed to convince them he’d only target hardcore criminals, not their undocumented family or friends—because they are ‘good.’ Was this masterful trickery or an epic disconnect?

What’s worse? (1) having your mother call you out as a dirt bag in an email published in the New York Times (2) having a porn star you paid $130K in hush money pick little plastic mushrooms depicting you off a tray on the Jimmy Kimmel show

I know BlueSky is getting serious traction because I’m having to block the porn bots like crazy….

Thanks, Joe…

The American Fuhrer wishes everyone a Happy Thanksgiving, especially the people he intends to round up and put into Dachau.

What a chart. #mandate

This is getting overlooked, but the whole premise of Trump's threat of tariffs is based on a lie. He's claiming Mexico must be bullied into stopping migrants. But Mexico is *already* doing this. That's a big reason crossings have dropped. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/1888...

GOLDMAN: “.. We estimate the proposed tariffs would boost the US effective tariff rate by 8.6pp and core PCE prices by 0.9% if implemented ..”

If the media hadn't spent every second leading up to the election normalizing an idiot conman and his nonsensical rhetoric, they wouldn't have to be spending as much time now explaining tariffs to America like it's a giant kindergarten class.

It’s a mistake to ask this question because it assumes Trump’s rationality. He wants to do this because it makes him feel powerful. He doesn’t care if the effects are good or bad. Indeed, the more destruction he causes, or the more people fear destruction he may cause, the more powerful he feels.

Thanks, President Biden

If this MSNBC story about courts-martial is confirmed, I'm begging people - especially writers and reporters - do not fall for the Trump line that this is about Afghanistan. This is about Trump seeking revenge on the people who woudn't him do things like shoot American protesters.
