There’ll Always Be A ‘Bama.

“Our government wasn’t set up for one group to have all three branches of government — wasn’t set up that way,” [Senator-Elect Tommy] Tuberville said. “You know, the House, the Senate, and the executive.”

“[A] guy can run for president of the United States and have an opportunity to win when he leans more to a Socialist type of government, you know, one-payer system in health care, raise taxes 20%, when the other half the country is basically voting for freedom, let us control our own lives, stay out of our life. And that’s concerning to me that we’re to the point now where we’ve got almost half the country voting for something that this country wasn’t built on. Very concerning and, you know, as I tell people, my dad fought 76 years ago in Europe to free Europe of Socialism. Today, you look at this election, we have half this country that made some kind of movement, now they might not believe in it 100 percent, but they made some kind of movement toward socialism. So we’re fighting it right here on our own soil.”

“I remember in 2000 Al Gore was president, United States, president elect, for 30 days – 30 days – and after 30 days, it got to the Supreme Court and the Supreme Court says, no, George Bush is going to be the president.”

Tommy Boy: Start here.

‘With CNN’s projection that Trump will win North Carolina, the final tally is 306-232, a landslide for the President-elect, who flipped five states and a congressional district in Nebraska from red to blue in 2020.’

More proof that Donald Trump easily won the election.

POTUS…

interruptus.

WAH! Now me wanna play with my…

elector set!

His language is a bit… désagrégé … but a Republican Member of Congress gets it said.

[This] really is, really, I think, the Island of the Misfit Toys at [this] point. You have crossed the Rubicon, you jumped on the crazy train and you’re headed into the cliffs that guard the flat earth … [It’s] the dissolution of reason…

Crazy train is nice – captures the runaway, headlong, tragicomic feel of these latter days… The rest of us can only grip the armrests, eyes shut against the possibility that our fellow American voters really have rigged it that a psychotic [Latest tweet: WE WILL WIN!] currently engineers the locomotive.

‘For millions of Americans spooked by a Black man in the White House, [Trump] promised an elixir for their racial anxiety.’

In his just-released memoir, Obama gets it said.

Typhoid Trumps Take their Rolling Spreader Event to Another School.

“There was concern for the safety of children because it was very clear the [Jared] Kushner parents were violating public health recommendations,” one mother [at a school the Kushners were reportedly asked to leave] told the [Jewish Telegraphic Agency].

Lucky Melvin Berman Hebrew Academy! You’re up next.

(Berman is just minutes from UD‘s house.)

Autumn, UD’s Woods.
“What they mainly worry about is what [Viktor] Orbán has called ‘liberal imperialism’ – having the US criticise democratic erosion and the abuse of human rights around the world again.”

Having the US criticize democratic erosion and the abuse of human rights around the world? Perish the thought!

More of Mehridith’s Sexual Obsession.

She said her meds were behind her last black pussy tweet – but how many black pussy tweets do you get before someone tells you to stop taking those particular meds?

Here’s more of Mehridith’s repeated orgasming over Kamala:

The possibilities are endless for little girls who whore their ways to the top!!

Is she a woman?

No! She’s a sex god with a strap-on just for me!!

**************

Timothy Snyder has it that authoritarianism-lovers like Mehridith are “giving way to sexual and physical fear.” I think that, for her and many like her, it’s as much excitement as it is fear.

Pity Magali Roques, a perfectly innocent cell biologist at the University of Bern.

She shares a name with naughty serial plagiarist Magali Roques, a medievalist who steals from just everybody. Naughty Magali plagiarizes at so high a level that she is reported to be “the sole philosopher recruited by the [prestigious] CNRS for a junior position last year.” Details here.
