&lt;i&gt;How long before you jump ship from loser Trump and glom onto DeSanctimonious as your choice…”all along?” &lt;/i&gt;

Ron or Don, Don or Ron... either way, it&#039;s an asshole from Florida, the state shaped like a prick.

&lt;i&gt;Will you pretend that you’ve never heard of Trump and DeSanctimonious was always your REAL choice? &lt;/i&gt;

Well, around Weigantia I have been known from time to time to opine that &quot;Trump too shall pass,&quot; and he definitely will. I have also said that he won&#039;t go quietly because he&#039;s basically the Trumptanic and will sink famously while taking a number of passengers down with him. The passengers will say he was never one of them but always a member of the &quot;Democrat Party&quot; and will commence to inventing all manner of conspiracy theory bullshit around that theme.</description>

I know, right!? People were trying to get the hell out of there, and they wouldn&#039;t allow them to leave. But John (not to be confused with the other John), of course, he didn&#039;t finish the wall he claimed to have finished. He either believes his own bullshit or he thinks his cult is dumb enough to believe him. Either way, it&#039;s effing hysterical. Also, it&#039;s definitely a fence and not a wall... and has been there for freaking decades. Trump simply replaced some of it and built onto it.

&lt;i&gt;Haha. Welcome to your future as hostages GOP. The only wall he built is the one around you. &lt;/i&gt;

Exactly right. 

&lt;i&gt;Good luck escaping before he detonates his suicide bomb. &lt;/i&gt;

tick, tick... BOOM! 

It&#039;s like watching a movie when you already know how it ends. The Trumptanic sinks.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;Trump&#039;s tired of waiting, though, and he wants to clear the field, and he also is under a lot of pressure from the multiple investigations into his actions, so he&#039;s just going to throw his hat in the ring without regard to anyone else&#039;s calendar. &lt;/i&gt;

Trump says DeSantis is disloyal and also fat, phony, and whiny, which is hysterical because Donald is all of those things to the point of making DeSantis look slender and authentic but without that trademark Trumpian sweat glistening like oil on his orange visage. 

Poor Donald is also tired of waiting. He&#039;s also tired of winning. He is winning so much that we were going to be sick and tired. We were going to say, &quot;Please, please, Mr. President, we&#039;re sick and tired of winning. Please let us have at least one loss. It&#039;s no longer exciting to win.&quot; And he was going to say, &quot;No way, we&#039;re going to keep winning, and I don&#039;t care if you like it or not.&quot;

They cannot say he didn&#039;t warn them that he didn&#039;t care if they liked it or not. Heh.</description>

		<description>Retry. Oh, and the teaser on page 1 read, &quot;FLORIDA MAN MAKES ANNOUNCEMENT &quot;.

&lt;blockquote&gt;Been there, Don that

With just 720 days to go before the next election, a Florida retiree made the surprise announcement Tuesday night that he was running for president. In a move no political pundit saw coming, avid golfer Donald J. Trump kicked things off at Mar-A-Lago, his resort and classified documents library.
Trump, famous for gold-plated lobbies and firing people on reality television, will be 78 in 2024. If elected, he would tie Joe Biden as the oldest president to take office.
His cholesterol levels are unknown, but his favorite food is a charred steak with ketchup. He has stated that he qualifications for office include being a “stable genius.” Trump also served as the 45th president.&lt;/blockquote&gt;</description>

		<description>I didn&#039;t watch the failing orange loser make his low energy, low ratings hate speech, but I did enjoy the video of his goons holding the audience hostage while he droned on about the big beautiful stupid wall that he never built.

Haha. Welcome to you future as hostages GOP. The only wall he built is the one around you. Good luck escaping before he detonates his suicide bomb.</description>

Thanks, man, I appreciate your concern.




Technical difficulties prevented me from posting and I also wanted to hold out until it was confirmed that the Dems held &lt;b&gt;both&lt;/b&gt; houses of Congress. Looks like I won&#039;t get my wish, but I am consoled by the prospect of two years of GQP House madness plus Trump running in 2024. I &lt;b&gt;want&lt;/b&gt; y&#039;all to investigate the hell out of Joe and Nothingburger Hunter. And crash the world economy by not raising the debt limit. And don&#039;t forget to try to outlaw &lt;b&gt;all&lt;/b&gt; abortions.





The last three elections have been good to Dems and now we&#039;re looking at a fourth. The last time Repugs screwed the country (into the Great Depression) Dems ended up holding Congress for decades afterwards.</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;ALL Democrats and a handful of moderate Republicans, elect Pelosi as Speaker, because the Republicans in the House fall into a circular firing squad and devolve into CHAOS.&lt;/I&gt;

Another Democrat Wet Dream (AKA Russia Collusion Delusion, Build Back Broke, 6 Jan Cardassian Court) that will NEVER come to pass..  :D

But I admire your imagination, JM..  :D

		<description>The constitution ONLY requires that the House Speaker be at least 25 years old and a U.S. Citizen and the person needs a majority of the votes from House members who are PRESENT and voting. That&#039;s ALL. That means that while a majority is 218 votes in the House, a person could become speaker with fewer votes if several members do not attend the vote. That&#039;s another way Pelosi could become Speaker again. Republicans don&#039;t have to ACTUALLY VOTE FOR HER. They only need just ENOUGH moderate Republicans to SIT THIS ONE OUT and MISS the vote.</description>

		<description>OR they could elect a NON-PARTISAN House Speaker. The House Speaker doesn&#039;t have to be a member of the majority party, that&#039;s just the tradition. They don&#039;t even technically need to be a member of the House themselves, that&#039;s just the tradition again, which actually predates the existence of the House itself. (That&#039;s why the idea of Trump was floated as being elected Speaker.) All that&#039;s required is that they be elected by a MAJORITY OF HOUSE MEMEBRS. Usually it&#039;s by the party in the House majority, but it DOESN&#039;T HAVE TO BE. The House can make whatever rules and elect whoever it wants, by simple majority vote. The constitution says the House and Senate can set their own rules themselves as to how they govern their own affairs or procedures.</description>

The constitution says the House and Senate can set their own rules themselves as to how they govern their own affairs or procedures.</p>

The House belongs to the GOP..

Let the two years of Biden/Democrat investigations and impeachments begin!!!! :D&quot;

Don&#039;t count your chickens before they have been hatched Michale!!!

The best projection I have seen now, is that Republicans will have a majority of just 220 votes. 218 is the minimum needed. In this Congress that ends in January that Pelosi has run for the last TWO years, there have been 17 vacant House seats requiring special elections for various reasons, from people dying, to moving to private sector jobs, to taking jobs with the Biden administration, to SWITCHING PARTIES etc. over that time period. That is actually pretty average for a typical House term. So what makes you think Republicans will hold onto their 220 seat majority for even ONE year?????

Also, at least TEN of the Republicans who won, won in districts that Biden carried.... Do you really think MODERATE Republicans in BIDEN districts who want to KEEP THEIR JOBS are going to vote for silliness like Biden investigations and impeachment, seeing as how election deniers and the most extreme MAGA Republicans ALL JUST LOST????

McCarthy can&#039;t even get 200 votes for Speaker. He just got 188. He needs 218. 

Here&#039;s your worst nightmare Michale. ALL Democrats and a handful of moderate Republicans, elect Pelosi as Speaker, because the Republicans in the House fall into a circular firing squad and devolve into CHAOS.</description>

		<description>the first time through i was reading with my partisan lens, but on second look holding a slim majority in only half of the legislative branch could be a real opportunity for sane republicans to get losing issues out of the way.

first and foremost, they could broker a compromise bill on abortion. the truth about roe was that it used viability, a fairly moderate standard, which could potentially be re-spun as a national ban on the types of abortions which most conservative voters disapprove. codify roe as a strict standard with exceptions only to protect the mother from death or dismemberment, and it would be something moderates on both sides of the aisle would vote for.

OR republicans can keep getting hammered on it in every subsequent election.</description>

		<description>I sat through Trump&#039;s meandering, low energy declaration speech. I saw no evidence of a teleprompter and it&#039;s tone very much reminded me of his Inauguration address. I wonder if he&#039;s losing it. Audience reaction was muted -- is it just my imagination or have the crowds at his rallies been subdued compared to back when he was relevant?



He told something exceeding 100 lies over the hour long ramble, no surprise, with plenty of revisionist history. Gawd, it just amazes me how disrespectful his is of America&#039;s intelligence. But Repugs live in an alternative reality in which Trump wasn&#039;t a Patron Saint of Dumpster Fires kinda  President.</description>
