I thought that when God-Emperor Trump won reelection, I’d greet the news with all sorts of loud triumphalism, glee and savage invective directed at those who attempted to harass / persecute / jail / assassinate him.
Instead, when I woke up yesterday morning, I read the news about his thumping victory — way beyond the possibility of fraud, which had been what I so feared for so long — and rather than all those feelings, I was simply relieved. Thoughtful, almost.
And yes, I want as much as anyone for Trump to set about the various offenders (and the Deep State in general) with a chainsaw.
But I watched his acceptance speech, and none of the above was in evidence. Instead, Trump appeared almost subdued, and in wonder of the miracle of his reelection. (His new VP wasn’t — LOL) In a way, I felt almost the same as Trump — just relieved that it was all over, and he could start to accomplish the unbelievable set of tasks that need doing if we are to rescue this nation from its Democratic-Socialist malaise of the past four years.
I mean, just think about it: ending illegal immigration, creating the groundwork of economic recovery and rebuilding the military (in every sense). Let’s not even talk about foreign policy — fucking hell, what a nightmare that’s going to be: Israel/Iran, Russia/Ukraine, China/Taiwan — a veritable Gordian knot, all created by the feckless Biden (or to be more accurate, his handlers, i.e. the Obamas and the Clintons). (We can talk about giving that little Socialist tit BritPM Starmer a gonad-kicking later, because compared to the latter issues, he’s small potatoes, ditto that Canucki shithead Castreaux.)
And then there’s the issue of going after the people who attempted to subvert his candidacy by unceasing lawfare — that, and the concomitant Deep Swamp Draining alone would tax any man, let alone this magnificent senior citizen. Hell, I’m over a decade younger than Trump, and just listing his to-do list exhausts me; and he has to carry it all out and make it happen.
Let’s just hope Trump can enlist the proper people to help him: Mike Pompeo as SecState, perhaps, Elon Musk for “government efficiency” har har, and dare I suggest Gen. Erik Kurilla as SecDef (we need a fighting soldier in that job, unless Erik’s better suited to JCS, I dunno).
And let’s be honest, Trump’s gonna need Congress to help him. I have no problem with Speaker Mike Johnson, who has often shown the Right Stuff, but that fucking old bastard Mitch McConnell in the Senate? I have no patience to put up with him, the prevaricating old roadblock.
What everyone else on that side of the aisle needs to know is that Trump has received a strong mandate from The People to get the thing fixed. And gawd help those Republicans who get in his way, because we all know that the Commies are going to go batshit on him. So now is the time for support, not obstruction from his own party. (And while I’m there, all those NeverTrump RINO assholes need a good thrashing, the fucking turncoats.)
Go get ’em, Mr. President-elect. I can’t wait to see your Cabinet — and your list of potential Supreme Court nominees, while we’re there.
See what I mean about a big job? It’s endless.
I feel like the mental thumbscrews have been loosened a little, but I will never turn off the “wary” mode.
Mitch McConnell is stepping down in the Senate, which is good because he is too old and has been slipping the last couple years.
However, big picture his tenure has been magnificent – he is the one that played hardball to get three SCOTUS seats – including railroading Garland when Obama picked him, and many other triumphs.
the GOP controlled Congress during Trump’s first two years in office but I believe the Speaker was Paul Ryan and Congress was infested with Never Trumpers. Ryan is gone and the current speaker has come around on his flirtation with never trumpism. How many never trumpers are there in congress?
McConnell’s tenure in the Senate has been a mixed bag and he just needs to retire. Who will be the next president of the senate? Not chuck Schumer Thank God.
Yes Trump has a huge task before him. I think Reagan wanted to tackle some of that as well. Maybe the task of fixing foreign and domestic issues are just too great to do in one or two terms. The bureaucracy wasn’t built in a four year term so we shouldn’t expect it to be gone with the wave of a hand.
I agree that the GOP really needs to have a sit down come to Jesus meeting and get any Never Trumper on the same page as Trump’s policies or they can be fired or denied committee memberships. The people have spoken and we want Trump’s agenda not the agenda of the communist party or the Never Trumper cry babies
Vice-President J.D.Vance will be the NEXT President of the Senate – you can look it up, it’s in the Constitution. It is the only prescribed duty of the Vice-President.
As to Majority Leader, that is to be determined by a caucus of The Majority after the new Senate is sworn-in.
oh Sweet Baby Jesus I am humbly sorry for getting a position in the Federal government of the United States wrong!! I wholely believe that with your guidance and if I do penance I can fully repent for my sin.
Where’s the goddamn eye roll emoji?
Speaking of President of the Senate – the Vice President also constitutionally presides over the Electoral College voting as Congress convenes in a joint session of both Houses January 6, 2025, so Cock Socket Kammie will have the pleasure of presiding over and certifying the Electoral College vote that makes Trump POTUS.
Do you ‘spose she drinks?
will Kackles show up to certify the electoral vote?
It’s a given!
Augean Stables. Big job. Hope he’s up to it.
When Trump was shot in PA, got up bleeding & defiant, my son texted me and said: “The fools just assured his election”.
That photo just may be the Mount Suribachi photo of our generation.
True
I speculate that it changed Trump, too. He seemed more thoughtful, not sure if that’s precisely the word I’m looking for, after that. A brush with death that close can change a person.
Even if Congress doesn’t go on vacation, four years is a very short time to undo the damage done by (the handlers of) Obama and Biden – and what has to be done cannot (must not) be done by EO.
IMHO, unless the light is brought to shine brightly, not only on the dark, dismal “Swamp”, buton the “money people) behind the Socialist-Progressive, ie: Marxist, movement (and their preachers/teachers [K-12 and college]), all changes wrought in the next four years will go for naught.
These people (this movement) is a disease that must be excised if our country is to return to a Constitutional Republic.
a)
A popular — and resilient — meme says:
* You don’t hate them enough.
To terminate the threat of BOLSHEVIKS, BOLSHEVIKS must be annihilated.
.
b)
The destruction of Fred and P’nut cost BOLSHEVIKS many millions of voters.
I think we can all agree, the goal of BOLSHEVIKS is destruction.
They don’t care about anything they destroy, the process of destroying is their reason for existing.
.
Examples:
* 1861, northern BOLSHEVIKS bankers didn’t care about the Confederacy, the people and culture of the South were (and are) just a handy target.
* 2020, the destruction of fUSA former borders was merely the prelim, the continued destruction of everything we know as ‘American’ is the BOLSHEVIKS goal.
* 2023, the people of Palestine are unimportant, the process of destruction of their entire culture is BOLSHEVIKS goal.
* 2024 and early-2025, I think we can anticipate substantial attacks on Heritage Americans, significant enough to satisfy BOLSHEVIKS destructive urges for a few weeks.
Could these originate among inner-city slums?
Highly likely.
.
I am not a religious person, yet I know we face an energy we can call ‘EVIL’, and that energy feeds BOLSHEVIKS while feeding off of them in an insatiable feedback loop.
The more BOLSHEVIKS destroy, the more destruction we can expect.
.
I think President Trump needs to dismantle much of the American military skim-scam, while simultaneously ending the foreign-aid skim-scam.
Let us make ISIS into WASWAS by stopping their CIA skim-scam money.
This would be easiest after we eliminate the CIA.
.
No more skim-scam cash delivered to fauci and friends for their pet biological warfare labs in the Ukraine along the Russian border.
No more skim-scam cash to those chinese 2D cardboard props to promote the delusion of A Worthy 3D Adversary.
.
And Hateshun illegals need to quit eating cats.
That is just weird.
I heard Don Jr yesterday say that he has no idea how his dad does it. Jr can’t keep up with him and he is 30 years younger. Remember that he only has 48 months to do what he needs to do. BTW eff Pompeo. He was CIA director while Russiagate was going on and he did NOTHING. Double Eff him.
Ran across this yesterday. For the last 25 years Presidential elections have had a total of mid to hi 120 million vote total. Including this year. In 2020 it was 155 MILLION. So where did 25 million voters go this year ???? And this year was a super motivated contentious election !!! Makes ya kindof think eh !!! LOL
I may be wrong, but I think (and indeed hope) that the missing 25 million are either
a) Democrat voters who couldn’t stomach the thought of voting for the Anointed Stupid One,
b) destroyed fraudulent ballots, or
c) some combination of the above.
“…missing 25 million…”
Maybe that’s a result of good work by the Musk Army of Poll Watchers and Lawyers?
But, it ain’t quite over. There are a bunch of House Districts around the country that still haven’t finished counting and certified a winner 48 hours and more after the polls closed. Almost all of them are only a few thousand or even a few hundred votes difference between Red and Blue. I’ll wager there are Dem operatives scrambling in back rooms and court houses in every one of those places, looking for a wedge to stuff or dismiss ballots.
Expand your data set a bit, both the 2018 and 2022 midterms had historically high turn out as well. Plus in 2020 people could not travel and were pissed off on both sides; and the expanded mail in voting- you got the highest turn out in about 80 years – but it was in both red and blue states / locations.
Things are more back to normal now and the Left mostly wasn’t that motivated by Harris, so it reverted to the mean.
Yea so sorry but I don’t accept extra 25 million ppl voted. Midterms are not determinable by a single race. 2020 was clearly stolen by the communists here and abroad. Jimmy Carter warned us.

Let’s not forget that Trump isn’t the President yet. We have…what?…79 days to go until the inauguration; Plenty of time for another assassination attempt. I fear for the man.
Should Trump die, JD Vance will be sworn in on Jan 20.
