Vote 2024 Hangover

[Trell]

I’m bored!

Biden and Harris conceded defeat gracefully with no accusations of election fraud. No army of Democrat lawyers filing numerous baseless lawsuits of election fraud. Election boards do what they’re required by law, and the same goes for other officials. President Biden does not phone various governors to find a few million votes.

Current administration promises cooperation with Team Trump, but first he has to sign ethics documents, as required by law.

No mobs descending on Mar-a-Letrina while chanting “Hang JD Vance” with a newly erected gallows outside.

With a Trump defeat there would be an entertaining circus by now.

Perhaps I’m less bored after January 20th 2025?

I’m slightly less bored now.

A totally unqualified woman is nominated by Trump to be the next UN Ambassador:

You mean you need qualified Ambassadors in the UN, from the US?
Naw, just be a Trump team player.

Hehehe

1-20-25: It was a tremendous experience! More fabulous than Obama's inauguration!!!

Takes two Advil. Keeps drinkin'. No hangover.

Now Trump is demanding that the Senate recess appoint his candidates so I wonder if some of his candidates for positions that requires a Senate confirmation must be so bad that not a GOP controlled Senate will confirm them.

RFK jr perhaps? His possible confirmation hearing will not be boring, that's for sure, airing all his wackiness in public.

Trump demands Senate Republicans allow recess appointments as they elect new leader

As Senate Republicans prepare to vote Wednesday on a new majority leader, Trump is already weighing in with demands for recess appointments.

I expect "totally unqualified" to be a commonly uttered phrase over the coming weeks and months.

'If you say nice things about me, I can get you a job.'

Pete Hegseth for defense secretary.

Qualifications? Fox & Friends weekend host

Here's to hoping the GOP does something about it.

Trump's defense choice stuns the Pentagon and raises questions about the Fox News host's experience

By nominating Hegseth, Trump is tapping someone largely inexperienced and untested on the global stage to take over the world’s most powerful military.

There is also this tantalizing tidbit about him:

>>>… Hegseth says he was removed from inauguration duty in 2021 because of what he described as a religious tattoo.
…
“Ultimately, members of my unit in leadership deemed that I was an extremist or a white nationalist because of a tattoo I have, which is a religious tattoo,” Hegseth told Fox News during an interview promoting his book in June. Hegseth said the tattoo is a Jerusalem cross. …

Yup, and then there is worse than "totally unqualified": Matt Gaetz as Attorney General. Unless the GOP Senate submit to Trump's demand of recess appointments I think that Gaetz would be hard to have confirmed.

>>>The president-elect is known to value how his message is delivered to television audiences, and the selection elevates the TV personality to a critical role in Trump’s second administration. <<<

Hegseth's tattoos.

NY Post: We're reporting on his tattoos, but we don't really wanna report on his tattoos.

The tattooed Secretary of Defense: Here is all of Pete Hegseth’s ink, and what it means

The “Fox and Friends” presenter, 44, served tours in Afghanistan and Iraq and holds degrees from both Princeton and Harvard.

During the last 2 years, the GOP controlled House of Representatives was completely dysfunctional, a Do Nothing Congress. American voters rewarded this by putting the GOP in charge of all 3 branches of government. I don't envy the Democratic Party as it tries to find a rational reason why it lost.

Maybe RFK Jr's tapeworm is more widespread than we thought.

An example:
Undocumented immigrant says Trump is 'racist.' Hear why he would vote for him if he could

I saw that: Strange.

As for soul searching Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez asked: "People who supported both Trump and me, or voted Trump/Democrat, tell me why,". She got some answers, also strange (at least to me):

AOC shares reasons why her supporters voted for Trump

Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez shared responses from her supporters who voted Donald Trump in the presidential election.
