Louisiana leading the way once again. And now even clearer why I left.

Should we anticipate a “this is Trump’s America” crime wave, now?

Welcome back, David, and the tRump "amicus curiae"/TikTok filing is most appropriate to kick off the years ahead...it basically restated tRump's "I alone can fix it" braggadocio, with some additional encomia regarding "dealmaking skills".

Oy vey!

“Donald Trump’s team is looking at using military bases to detain migrants and military planes to boost deportations, the president-elect’s incoming border czar Tom Homan said.”

Can someone please explain to me how this is in any way, shape or form legal???

The record of the crime wave of "Trump's America" should be closely watched and compiled somewhere like TPM. You know the corporate media won't do it this time around.

Sadly, those who will suffer most are poor and black. They couldn't afford to travel even if they wanted to.

David: why do you keep posting NYT subscriber-only articles when the majority of your readers have canceled their subscriptions?

First, required reading: Thomas Ferguson’s “Golden Rule”, chapter 6 re which our times are a thirty-plus year old echo.

TikTok: major Trump supporter Jeff Yass wants to buy it which, if the law stands, will be impossible. Of course, in the old days, the lack of standing would be a problem right there but, of course, is no longer any problem with SCOTUS. Shame on the national news media for f***ing up the story. Not that I’m that surprised.

I’ll hold off on slagging Carter’s presidency for a couple of days but I’ll just note that I’ve heard precious little from our elite media about the big issues that came before him. Suffice to say for now, ITKYK.

And finally a late Xmas gift from Timothy Snyder: the incoming administration is to be referred to as Mump, not Trump. Gotta try to remember…

HAPPY NEW YEAR ALL!

Hello David! Good to see you

back.

I have decided that Elon

Musk is a parasite! A

dangerous parasite that

needs to be stamped out

before it spreads any further.

Surely, there must be a cure!
