Self-preservation. She knows Musk will impose himself on the president at every opportunity. She's just making him walk across the street now. But I'll take it Anything to knock him down a peg or two.

Convicted US Capitol rioter Pam Hemphill turns down Trump pardon - BBC News Former "Maga granny" Pamela Hemphill tells the BBC the Trump government is trying to "rewrite history".

Striking moral clarity. Rarely seen these days.

The Fraudulence of “Waste, Fraud and Abuse” History repeats itself, the first time as farce, the second as clown show

"Anyone who proposes saving lots of taxpayer money by eliminating 'waste, fraud and abuse' should be ignored, because the very use of the phrase shows that they have no idea what they’re talking about."

Good. I been ignoring Muskaswamy as much as possible. Paul Krugman nails it in his Substack.

Democratic strategist calls for ‘new generation of leaders’ as party plots response to Trump’s victory Strategist who aided resurgence after Reagan says party should focus on ‘fundamentals’ – but cautions against leftward drift

We need to get over this idea that policians get "turns". Bullshit. You put the representative in who's best for the moment. AOC would have gotten messages through to a media that will pay no attention to an old white guy saying the same things in the same ways. Wake up, Dems.

‘Pretty Damn Good’: Why Biden’s Goal to ‘Trump-Proof’ the Courts Has Been Deemed a Success | The Smirking Chimp On Friday night, the Democratic-run U.S. Senate confirmed Biden's 235th judicial appointment.

Here's some good news. Many of these appointments took place after Biden dropped out of the race, in case you were wondering what he's been doing.

Guess #3 was 92 on the Luck-o-Meter, according to the Wordlebot. Maybe I should play the lottery today.

The Cold Social Media Reaction To The UnitedHealthcare CEO’s Killing Was Not Hard To Predict You don’t have to feel good about these reactions to a human tragedy to understand why anybody associated with the insurance industry would inspire such hostility.

The glorification of a murderer is troubling. While not condoning this act, I understand the motive. I also understand that the shooter would not have been immortalized in so many memes if he hadn't been young and cute. Our culture is messed up in so many ways. #singlepayernow

The new billionaires in DC seem to think they can dictate changes and other people will make it happen. Like massive cuts to programs, or eliminating departments entirely. This is why you don't put businessmen in charge of government. They're clueless how this all works.

We need to stop dissecting the Harris/Walz campaign. VERY tired of media voices on our side bashing Democrats for the election loss and Biden for pardoning his son. Stop trying to sound smart and contrarian on TV and podcasts by turning on your own party. That won't help win future elections.

He's not draining the swamp. He's stocking it.

Biden can order background checks on Trump's nominees now. No need to demand them.

So glad to see Dark Brandon rescuing his son. There's a time for the high road, but not when your son's life is at stake, and not when Trump has already debased the pardon power--and will continue to when he takes office. Go out swinging, Joe.

They may not like what Trump will do to the country, either.

Daytime temps dropped below freezing about a week ago here in southern Minneosta, so this might be my last find of the season. 😢 It doesn't photograph very well, but to the eye, this 1865 Indian Head penny looks like it was dropped before Grant met Lee at Appomattox.

Given the global anti-incumbent fever, Harris performed respectably. It was just too much of a headwind and she didn't reach enough people where they are. Liberals need to break into rightwing bubbles and appear on Fox, Rogan, etc. whenever they can while building a comparable media infrastructure.

NyQuil, DayQuil... I'm on all the Quils suffering through what I think is a common cold. No fever, chills or body aches, so I don't think it's a virus.Whatever it is, it's overstayed its welcome. Anyone else get this crud? How long does it take to beat it?

So by "different," they mean normalizing him? This is beyond disappointing. They should be ramping up opposition, not making nice.

1868 Shield Nickel found in Dundas, MN. Plus all the trash I dug along the way. You have to kiss a lot of frogs before you find a prince.

What's missing on this Indian Head? The shield on the reverse side, which was added to the design a year later. This is a 1st-year (1859) IHP. Even if the date is too roached to read, you can always tell an 1859 by the reverse. I found this at an extinct farmstead in Minnesota.

Seems to be intermitten. I saw a black image about an hour ago, but now I can see the photo just fine.

Can't believe I've been scrolling for 15 minutes and haven't been served up a single ad or suggested group to join. Breath of fresh air compared to Facebook. As for X... I was never very active over there anyway, so I deactivated that account tonight.

I hope we can keep this place from going south.
