On The Cusp Of Trump II, A Way To Make Sense Of The Madness

David: Please stop referring to the incoming shtstorm as a “clown car.” There is nothing amusing about any of these creatures and it is a disservice to the truth to gloss that over. I agree we all need something to grin or smirk over, but pretending these criminals are clowns is a lie. They will do enormous damage, and we may not be able to undo it in our lifetimes.
As a bonus whine: are you going to show a picture of that f’g goddamn insane criminal every goddamn day for the next four goddamn years?
I come to TPM for a dose of sanity, not to despair and be enraged. Please stop. Thank you.

So with the SCOTUS decision on TikTok and now the order to make the ERA a part of the Constitution, how much damage can the President-Elect do?

Can he overrule SCOTUS? Can he reverse the order on the ERA?

Legal scholars, how would these scenarios play out?

I believe that is imminent. We will all suffer the consequences. Perhaps Mother Nature will deliver us from evil. But then, that means “President Vance”…FSM, save us all!

But can’t Trump order “Bible” Mike to pass a law unbanning it? Tell Sen Cotton to lay off.

Here’s a plea for the next four years:

No more header photos of the Felon in Chief

We’ve seen enough of his unpleasant visage. Unless he’s being hauled away in chains, we don’t need it. Feature some other newsmaker. Maybe an actual “newsmaker”, not just the guy yelling the loudest at the end of the bar.

Thank you for your consideration.

Assume that was snark. That f-ing weasel is looking for a pardon.

I think the wearing of fur coats and apparel has fallen out of fashion in recent years, maybe with the exception of some wealthy people. The cost of purchasing and maintaining them along with how people view animal rights factor in.
The fur district in NYC has shrunk considerably. It’s not like the era when folks like Clyde Fraser would be rocking some long fur coat or women wearing a mink stole on a night out.

The UK is suffering right now from what we did between the two terms: the rich own and control all media.

Whether the GOP is in or not, they own the message outright. And they get what they want.

I’m OK with higher grocery prices, shortages, and fewer options if the tradeoff is a bunch of Trump loving farmers and everyone else in the AG sector dependent on immigrant labor goes effing bankrupt. FAFO.

In an interview with Bloomberg, tomato grower Tony DiMare said that it would be a major mistake for Trump to institute the kind of crackdown on undocumented farm labor that has been enacted in Florida, where he says he’s having trouble finding enough people to pick crops.

"A lot of people left Florida for Georgia, north, scared,” DiMare told Bloomberg. “Farmers had to let their crops rot.”

Unless he also ordered the Archivist to certify the amendment, I think this is just symbolic.

I had to quickly scroll before I lost my breakfast. No matter how much we beg and plead, media (including this one) just love them some trumpy pix, the more disgusting, the better.

Yeah…but they are currently putting Cruella DeVille in to head DHS. I would not be surprised to see a surge in fur-wearing. It’s fashion’s version of shunning “woke-ism”

And we can forget about him dropping the charges in the MEGA-Lardo case (which will happen as soon as an US AG is confirmed) so he can release the report. Shameful.
