THIS IS WHY WE WERE FROM THE START NEVER TRUMP.

The damage Trump will do will be far greater and quicker than imagined.

[Ron Filipkowski @RonFilipkowski]

So did the normies who voted for Trump because they think Biden made bacon more expensive realize that Matt Gaetz would be AG, a Putin propagandist would be DNI, and a Fox host would be SecDef?

I have a feeling this won’t be the last time we say that we tried to warn you.

Exactly, and maybe double up the grants and subsidies

[Ron Filipkowski @RonFilipkowski]

My guess is that the new Dept of Government Efficiency will determine that it is unwise to terminate any of the subsidies and contracts the government has with Elon’s various enterprises.

The evidence is in: My book, Scratching the Flint (@RunAmokCrime), was named Best Indie Novel of 2023 by @CriFiLover. The award itself just arrived (by way the UK and other exotic locales). Thank you. The recognition was/is a boost for which I am grateful. All the best to this year's nomination class.

I’ve always found “kakistocracy” to be an interesting word. I think more and more people will come to appreciate the word in the near future.

I’ve been voting for 45 years in Canada. I never waited more than 5 minutes.

This is amazing. This is the line at Villanova University right now just a couple hours before polls close. There’s fun music, young people are vibing & having a good time, and the line is STILL mostly young women. The youth are truly alright.

Passersby are already recording the third stream of such motorcades.

Did something happen in the Kremlin?”

@nut_history Is this what retired Hall of Famers do nowadays? Throw heat against 17 year old girls and call it an accomplishment? I love Ichiro, but this is just weird on all fronts.
