Trump's Second Term

beautiful black women begging him to come

Trump: "You have people in Chicago, beautiful Black women wearing a MAGA hat, red MAGA hat -- 'please come Mr Trump, president' -- they call me president, they call me mister, they can call me whatever they want. 'Please come President Trump, please come.' They're begging us to come."

Trumpcare

Trump: "What I want is instead of going to the insurance companies, I want the money to go into an account for people where the people buy their own health insurance. It's so good. The insurance will be better. It'll cost less. Everybody is gonna be happy. They're gonna feel like entrepreneurs. They're actually able to go out and negotiate their own health insurance. Call it Trumpcare."

*sigh* Besides the sheer level of BS here by virtue of Trump's health care record, this reminds me of something from a bit ago -

Elizabeth Warren: Democrats had the message; Trump is the one who ran on it. (Also, see Krugman)

...There may be a lot of different words that trigger it, but it’s the economic anxiety that is driving this moment. Look back at the elections. Almost every election for — I’d have to count back — the last 10 have been: “Change.” “Help me.” “You didn’t do enough.” And that’s true whether it was a Democrat in office or a Republican in office. You, the person in charge, did not do enough to shift this system.Your point about the Republicans — I want to push back on you to go back to my point. Donald Trump did not run as a traditional Republican. Donald Trump did not run as Mitt Romney.

Leonhardt: No, he ran to the left of Mitt Romney on economics.

Warren: Are you kidding? He ran to the left of Hillary Clinton. He ran to the left sometimes of Bernie Sanders. Come on. He ran left, left, left on the economy and was smart enough to say, “And that’s why I got elected.” The problem with Donald Trump is he isn’t delivering on that. And he can’t deliver on that.

Heeey, remember another dude who purportedly ran on socialism and then failed to deliver on that promise? It's someone you've heard of, angry Austrian dude, had a funny moustache?

More than a month after her election win, Johnson to finally swear in Grijalva​

Grijalva claimed that Johnson delayed the swearing-in because she pledged to sign a discharge petition that would force a House vote to release the so-called Epstein files.

U.S. Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva is expected to be sworn in this week, ahead of the House vote on a government funding bill, Scripps News has confirmed.

Grijalva won a special election in Arizona's 7th congressional district in late September, but House Speaker Mike Johnson refused to swear her in. He said it was due to the House not being in session, which has been prolonged due to the government shutdown.

Now Johnson just needs to delay until the special election in Tennessee is done in December and get the numbers to favor his side again.

Miller, Nutlick, Bessent, Vought, RFK Jr., Thiel, etc. Those people in the White House who provide Trump with "edited" news bulletins so he can be distracted, and then write and post all the social media fireballs purported to be from him. Then there are all those "advisers" who collude with the GOP and SCOTUS, and do all the actual nasty business to the country that has been happening the last 10 months. Trump is entirely incidental to all that.

What, you think Trump personally schemes and colludes to get all the bad stuff done to the USA and tells others what to do? How naïve! The man can barely stay awake most days. And even when conscious, he's loopy as a roller-coaster, nutty as a fruit-cake, barely in control of his thoughts and body. He can't even organise to take his own pants down in the john, let alone organise a Turd Reich. Nor pull those pants up again. Nor clean up in between. He really is a decrepit sack of ◊◊◊◊ fueled by Adderall and the fascist dreams they feed him. The grossest sock-puppet you can imagine. And he's the wrong target for getting this fixed.

"Appropriately compensate" for a misleading edit so egregious that nobody complained about it for months and months. Hmm. Maybe, like, make his gurning mug the baby face sun in a new series of the Tellytubbies. How about that?

Bluesky was melting down yesterday and today over the eight Democrat senators who voted with the Republicans to end the shutdown. Coming on the heels of a massive win in elections the week before, the Democrats apparently threw away their best chance to extend the ACA subsidies in exchange for a promise to get a vote on legislation about thirty to sixty days out. There is no indication the vote will be in the Democrats' favour, especially in both houses.

Most blame Chuck Schumer for not having better control over the caucus.

Many noted that all the senators who voted for ending the shutdown are either retiring or not up for re-election next year. From this they conclude Schumer actively decided to end the shutdown and found eight senators in safe districts to vote for it. The posters also noted the vote was held after last week's elections, presumably so as not to affect the Democrats' chances of winning.

A great many Democrats are decrying the vote to end the shutdown as a capitulation to the Republicans and a massive disgrace to the their party. They're calling for Schumer to resign as leader.

Nobody has hinted that Schumer may have also been working behind the scenes to secure Republican votes for the promised ACA subsidy vote thirty to sixty days from now. But if he has those cards and will be playing them over the next month or two, and actually gets the ACA subsidies restored, that would be a massive political win despite the heat he's taking now. But that's the only good that can come out of this, and it's not looking at all promising right now.
