According to not quite enough media outlets, Donald Trump has taken Pennsylvania. According to others we still have to suck eggs until Thursday. I'm going to sleep
"If Biden was senile, then who was actually running the country? Who had enough clout to order the President’s removal from the ticket?
The answer in both cases was Obama. And now he was on the hook not only for Kamala Harris, but retroactively for the more general mess that he and his operatives had helped to make of the country. Everywhere from Harvard University, his alma mater, where he helped install a repeat plagiarist as the University’s President, to the Middle East, which went up in flames the moment he was able to re-animate his Iran Deal, which appeared to be even stupider — if not as expensive — as George W. Bush’s determination to transform Afghanistan and Iraq into Western-style democratic societies at the point of a gun, the Party Leader’s Midas Touch-in-reverse was evident, even if no one ever breathed a single word of criticism.
Yet Americans, of all races and creeds, felt themselves to be living in a dystopian version of Alice in Wonderland, controlled by an unseen hand — and they didn’t like it. If the elite pollsters and expert predictors who had failed to foresee a Trump win had familiarised themselves with American history, instead of parroting the talking points of Obama and his operatives, they would have seen a country eager for a renewal of the freedoms that the vast majority of Americans embrace as their birthright..." Must read - Crushed it!
i suspect its the intel community that causes the media hoaxes. Should Elon start bringing efficiency to the intel community the constant hoaxing should finally end.
The very first step needs to be housecleaning at the DOJ / FBI The very first person who should be brought in to chat with Congress is Louie Freeh, former Federal Judge, former FBI Director , former partner of Hunter Biden and key coordinator of the Burisma influence peddling scheme. When Hunter's laptop became public Louie dropped out of the practice of law and disappeared. He was Hunter's connection to the top of the FBI and to FBI offices around the world.
It will be interesting to see if the margin of victory is wide enough to discourage ANTIFA from their planned violence and disruption.
Y'all probably incapable of understanding but America deserves
- The truth about the extraordinary corruption involving not only the Bidens but former FBI Director Louie Freeh, top FBI officials and DOJ. Louie Freeh was on the Biden payroll and reporting back on using his influence with "top FBI sources" to assist in the Burisma influence peddling.
- Evidence of influence peddling , it's in the emails the FBI has had for 5 years including the clear statement that they wanted to buy "Biden influence" .
- I assume that you don't care about the abuse of women by Democrats but the Banks were reporting huge sums being transferred from Hunter to offshore sex traffickers. Hunter thoughtfully documented hundreds of hours of his sexual abuse of women, providing women with piles of cocaine in exchange for sex ( drug dealing) .
- In another email exchange they are scheming on how to get $2.4 BILLION for JP Morgan (Chase ) out of the treasury in the form of a tax credit which they were not allowed to receive.
- Democratic consultant Blue Star Strategies was on Hunter's Burisma payroll and coached Joe Biden before his trip to have the prosecutor fired.
- DOJ had received multiple bank Suspicious Activity Reports detailing large international cash transfers to Hunter. As agents have testified under oath they were not allowed to follow up on these and they were eventually suspended for wanting to do their jobs.
It is amazing how little interest liberal women have in the physical abuse and drugging of very young women by Hunter. In case you are wondering about the evidence , Hunter thoughtfully left hundreds of hours of selfie porn on the computer which the FBI had long before the last election.
It also had the legendary email/message trail documenting 20% for hunter and 10% held by Hunter for the Big Guy......
I thought a real feminist would want the truth and to protect young women from abuse....
You mean like the show trials the Dems put on for Trump? That were orchestrated from the Biden/Obama WH? Based on your comments below, you really need to widen and/or vary your news sources.
Maybe Trump should make it so that there can be no pharmaceutical company advertising on TV. This would sink the legacy media and allow something else to spring up. Something not carrying the water of big pharma. I really hadn't considered how pharma had captured the media with the ads. After all, who takes prescription medicine because they saw an ad on TV??
"After all, who takes prescription medicine because they saw an ad on TV??
lol. Lots and lots of people. That's why you see lots and lots of ads for "prescription medicine" on TV. That's how advertising and sales work. After all, who buys Buicks because they saw an ad on TV?
If you have lots and lots of money and lots and lots of profitable merchandise to peddle, you, too, can capture the media. Your spaceship just touchdown on the planet?
Counterintuitively, I suspect the ads ARE aimed at ill-informed patients, NOT doctors. Doctors are pretty much up-to-date on drugs, trust me. But, in the litigious environment of medical malpractice, doctors are wary of REFUSING to prescribe drugs for conditions a patient may already be known to have which are unlikely to cause harm. BUT, for instance, imagine: should a patient die and the survivors discover the doctor refused to prescribe a drug which may (or may not) have helped. Boom. You're in court. And everyone's RX increases in price. Get prescription-Big Pharma off TV.
they held on as long as they could until finally calling it for trump. I had to flip on the alphabets to see there reactions and it was what you would expect. They simply dont understand the public, and live in a coastal urban echo chamber, still grasping at straws about messaging. The interesting thing will be during trumps term, how many people turn on guys like Taibbi if he dares to investigate a trump scandal, which i have no doubt he will report on if it arises.
I expect that Matt will lose some followers when he writes articles which "may reflect badly on trump or the republican party." I send Matt my few dollars because I believe he is doing honest journalism. I expect him to continue to fight for truth, justice and the american way no matter where it leads and who it offends. I am, of course, an idealist, but i can live with that.
I share your admiration for Taibbi and Kirn, but the quotation of the Superman slogan is a bit much (tho pretty funny, I admit).
You say, 'I expect that Matt will lose some followers when he writes articles which "may reflect badly on trump or the republican party."'
Who cares? Let Taibbi observe the political scene as he has always done, honestly and with wit, and let the chimps fall from the trees where they may (as long as they don't bite the fingers and faces off of anyone).
These Trump haters like the aptly named "Karen" and the resident rock-head "Feldspar" are as salty as the pretzels they twist themselves into to deny his popularity and presidential abilities.
What makes this administration so unique is the incredible depth of the Clinton Obama Biden corruption , perhaps the worst in American history. Hunter and Joe probably set a new standard for the depth and breadth of corruption. However, most of the writers missed the enablers A) the attorneys who are essentially fixers and B) the highly corrupt bureaucrats such as Blinken Wray etc
Trump and Elon may have literally saved the country, if not humanity itself — Trump by proving it was possible to resist the borg (big tech, corporate media, the Democrats, academia, the government) and Elon for providing an avenue for dissenting voices to be heard that had too much of an established network effect to be throttled like Parler and Gab, both of which were removed from the app stores as soon as they started to gain traction in the runup to 2020. Progressivism (which I consider distinct from actual liberalism) cannot survive free speech and open debate, which is why progressives love censorship. So their entire game plan was based on controlling the information environment the same way they did in 2020 but Elon fucked that plan up.
Could be that. Also could be that health care policy will be able to exist for patients, not pharma corporations, health insurance companies, pharmacy benefits managers, and doctors and researchers beholden to schmucks like Fauci.
Two good books: The Real Anthony Fauci, by RFKj and Blind Spots, by Dr. Marty Makary.
We'll see. I really hope Trump stays true to his word as well as put all the right people in positions to make a positive impact on our country. RFKjr Tulsi, Vivek, ... who else?
be curious if Elon can cut the dead weight in the federal agencies like has been claimed. Would be amazing if he could. Will Trump truly drain the swamp this time??
Good call on liberals vs. progressives. I'm an old-school liberal who hasn't been able to identify the Democratic party since Clinton was in office. They stopped standing for what they used to stand for, and started standing for shit like war and censorship. Now that the nation has rejected that, not sure where they go.
If Obama had let the 2016 primaries happen fairly, Bernie would have won, and we would have had the election of all time with him and Trump. Once Bernie had been excommunicated, a lot of people, especially with populist thinking, turned to Trump.
I have to say, Trump sure does have a pair. He's endured nearly a decade of media scorn, FBI raids, multiple lawsuits, wiretaps, rape accusations, and two or three assassination attempts. And he's a billionaire who really and truly doesn't have to put up with any of this. Most people would have been ground down by all of that, but he kept on going. I have some newfound respect for him, hopefully his second term is not a disappointment.
So Donald Trump and Elon Musk are not part of your so-called "Borg?" Big tech? Corporate media? And Donald Trump was born in a log cabin and pulled himself up by the bootstraps? And Elon Musk started out as an auto mechanic and through hard work and apartheid grit made a big success of himself?
Your boys Trump and Musk are a big part of your "Borg," they just live in the more crude and darker corners of it.
Matt, don’t underestimate the influence you had on independents who were made painfully aware of government corruption and censorship thanks to your brilliant and courageous investigative reporting.
Second losing Democratic candidate in a row who didn't have the courage to speak to her own disappointed supporters on election night.
We know the narrative will be: "America won't elect a woman." But Maggie Thatcher would have been out there on stage, come hell or high water. So maybe pick some different women.
Tulsi would’ve won big. But as we can see she’s not a machine woman so she’s now with Trump. RFK Jr may have won. Same treatment. Turns out resistance is not futile.
I'll be curious to see the inevitable analysis of how much Trump support was due to RFK, Tulsi, and the rest. That's why he got my vote, despite Trump.
If Democrats can find a woman who can succinctly define what a woman is, I’ll consider voting for them again. What has crippled the Party is its acceptance of the hard left as the new Democratic center. In my youth Democrats were the party of the working man and woman. Republicans were the guys (only guys) who looked like the dude on the Monopoly game box.
They need to pick a viable candidate, and I speak as a someone that almaost always goes with the republican. What happened to a democrat like Bill Clinton??? I guess Obama killed that democrat party. Slick Willie may have had some serious wandering ayes, but at least as president he was a likable guy, even if you disagreed with all his policy. I was never embarassed of being represented globally by him. If the Dems find a likable candidate like him, man or woman, and move to the center a little bit on the big issues they can win it in 2028. If they keep rolling along with the identity politics, and checking boxes, they are doomed for the forseeable future.
Slick Willy killed that party. Slick Willy and Hillary embraced the Wall Street Money and later the SF Big Tech money, and all the debauchery that comes with it. Today, it's laughable at best the Democrats can put in an ad that they are working for the middle class.
When Obama ended Occupy, it was the wake up call for those of us that went to school before they stopped teaching critical thought. That time is also in line with the Ewok line.
Your probably correct, especially when he sold out the unions and working class supporting NAFTA. I guess I never thought of the transition of the dems with the tech boom from being for the working man to the tech class which turned into the laptop class.
I don't think there is any question that the Republican candidate in 4 years will be JD .
He is awesome and has the breadth of experience from being raised in a drug savaged family and then perhaps " saved" by the Marines. The Marines happen to be the finest leadership school , perhaps in the world. He's also going to have the respect of the military , perhaps with the exception of the Palace Princes of the Pentagon.
This version of the democrats is terminal. But when they get it and die off is unclear. Their relationship to the big money, WEF, Soros, Gates, Rockefeller, crazies at Atlantic Council, universities, green new deal acolytes etc will keep driving this moribund morass of losers for awhile. Early assessments by MSM doesn’t at all look self reflective. And so like the Tar Baby, they may be getting shellacked for awhile hopefully.
People don't understand how totally unqualified Camoola is . All she's done throughout her political career is run her mouth. She to the left of 85% of Americans, arrogant, intellectually challenged and every job she has had was working with corrupt fellow democrats.
San Francisco used to be America's GEM , now it is unlivable with 40+% of the offices vacant and a higher percentage of retail vacant. Streets are littered with drug addicts and sidewalks slippery with crap. So bad that there is an internet app that will find the least poop strewn path to a destination. The owner of the largest upscale shopping center simply put the keys in the mail to the lender as all the majors left. Camoola was DA
When she went to Sacramento as AG she helped nourish Antifa into the mob it is today by not prosecuting violent crimes by the organization on State Capitol grounds and on various UC campuses.
I highly doubt they are admitting it's over. They are planting the seeds for Phase 2. I am sorry, I do not believe the left is going to go quietly into that good night. Big Pharma and The Military Intelligence apparatus are surely not going to.
I think he did big rallies in CA and NY to run up his popular vote numbers. Will be interesting to see how his final state totals are vs 2020 and 2016.
I was watching some CNN county-by-county and state-by-state analysis last night, and Trump improved his two earlier election numbers in almost every location.
This is why Vance was a great VP pick-he can actually act as an intelligent, and self aware face of the administration, unlike Pence, who was just there as an evangelical vote magnet.
Pence was pathetic. Again, Trump a businessman not a politician, needed help and advice from those hacks. He’s learned a few things since then (I hope).
Also make elections doubt free and fully auditable.
I want a receipt with my choices and a unique ID that I can find on the final data and prove that my vote survived intact.
Even paper ballots go through computers.
When I make a bank deposit I get a receipt showing the amount and my balance. I can check it online. This is easy and can be done with complete privacy and anonymity.
The central (necessary) reason for this Commiecrat debacle was that🐪-a was a TERRIBLE candidate. Even worse than Brandon hiding out in his basement among the classified documents he stole, Hunter's coke, his $$ from influence peddling, bribes and other grifts?
The 16-year reign of Black Jesus is over. No one outside his family will ever again care what TF Barack Obama has to say. Especially when he’s lecturing us.
They’ll care ( a hardcore 20%)but he won’t deign to leave the Beyoncé party circuit on Martha’s Vinyard. Hopefully this election marks the final death rattle of the Clinton Machine-of which Kamala was the Admiral Donitz…….
I'm hearing fireworks in Fairbanks. Trump beat both Biden and Harris. It's the biggest comeback in a hundred years. The GOP now controls all branches of government. I hope they do good with the power they've been given.
Only if in the next four years the administration leads the way in skewering The Blob, and in the process convinces at least some of the dopes who voted for Harris how wrong the Leftist establishment has gone. It will be a massive war, and we all know the Dems ( meaning The Destroyers, which I think is the most accurate name for them ) won't miss a trick of defamation, subterfuge, lawfare, sabotage, whatever, to try to defeat it. We all know Trump was rather clueless when he became President in 2017, but he's been wised up, and man, must he be pissed off.
I was extremely pleased by Trump's acknowledgement of victory this morning. It was dignified, gracious, even statesmanlike. The boy may have promise. I'm referring to Trump, not to Vance.
Thanks Matt and Walter for doing your thing. This is the biggest 1st amendment moment since I don’t know when. I wouldn’t be saying this if he lost the popular vote, but all in all, I think it shows we’re on the right path.
70 years ago my father told me Christopher Columbus was a closet Jew. My family escaped the Inquisitioon and here I am. Just north of Vermont awaiting the American Invasion. Fuck you and your whole damn family of fucking Goddamn NAZI BASTARDS. I
I am autism spectrum disordered and 76 years old and I don't personally give a fucking shit but my children are Jewish and they look and act Jewish and I am fucking retarded over six foot tall and speak the fucking King's English. Nineteen eighty four was Bibliocal Allegory and still is Biblical allegory🤣.Manitoba is the Gateway to China and its Prime Minister is a rapper and a Democratic Socialist and Manitoba is not behind the electronic curtain.
Yellowknife Northwest Territories is West of L.A. and North of Edmonton. Whiting Indiana Oil comes from Native sovereign lands. "These are the best of times" Charles Dickens. Capice?
Thanks mike avoid anything I write as Mark twain said never argue with an idiot they will dazzle you with their experience and expertise. I am an idiot please don't respond to my comments.🤣 Pretend they are like dog shit on the sidewalk.
Yes, your children are Jewish. All the more reason to stand with Donald Trump and against the Antisemitic Democratic party of today. Do you really think Israel would be safer with Harris in the White House? Please.
Yeah, this is why some people leave their drunk posts and emails in drafts so they can reconsider in the morning. You may wish to try this, cause I don’t even know who you’re pissed at.
My wife and I wore out the vinyl groves on Excitable Boy and on Springsteen's Nebraska when we lived in the land of the Midnight Sun. Thank you. It is three AM and we are lighting candles. We are old and exhausted from cursing the darkness.
You mean gd nazi rat garbage don't you? There's about 120 million of us as of tonight. Remain calm. The other 100 million are not coming your way. They are going to be part of MAGA before this is over. Give Tudeau a kiss for us.
I gave Justin a kiss but he was in diapers and his father was my member of Parliament and they lived in our neighbourhood where there were few Catholics and even fewer Protestants but we spoke English not Humpty Dumpty, or Newspeak and went to Protestant schools. People like Captain James T Kirk , Steven Pinker, and Leonard Cohen who led the country band at Westmount High School. Kamala went to Westmount High School. Doug and Kamala can move to Montreal and be assured of being in the Prime Minister Residence in Quebec City in Three years. We have the video. We love Kamala.and she doesn't deserve America. That is why we left in 2003 and moved HOME to our Zion next to the Appalachian Trail to a town that Brother Bernie knows very well.

I sent 25¢ off for a package of sea monkeys when I was a kid. They were kind of a disappointment, being essentially just a type of almost invisible brine shrimp.
Leonard Cohen released The Future in 1992 and America chose murder not Democracy but when Leonard led the country band at Kamala's High School the future was not ours to see Que Sera Sera.

It's Closing Time from The Future Leonard Cohen
You got that right. Poor P’nut, poor raccoon playmate, and requisite human family. We need to reduce govmint regulation, and fire 50% of civil servants at all levels of govmint. Civil servants have way too much time on their hands to even come close to making P’nut & family a case.🙏🏼
Small businesses, and mom + pop micro-businesses desperately need LESS, LESS, LESS govmint regulation in order to make enough profit to support one person, or a couple, or a couple + kids, or a couple + kids + parents, etc. No more free stuff. No more welfare bums.🙏🏼Yes to crafts(wo)men, farmers, plumbers, electricians, vehicle mechanics, plasterers, roofers, siders, road layers, gardeners, tilers, carpeters, metal workers, heating and air conditioning mechanical (wo)men, woodworkers, cooks, teachers, tutors, lamp makers, book binders, weavers, seamstresses/sewists, brick makers, brick layers, boulder movers, jewelry artisans, concrete/cement (wo)men, nurses-nurses-and-more-nurses (of olden days), illustrators, photographers, writers, reporters, newspaper(wo)men, one-room schoolhouses (elder students “assist” the younger students; currently called ‘home schooling’), machinists, local actors/actresses, librarians, glass workers, painters of art, painters of houses, arborists, you get the picture.🙏🏼
Thank you for your tireless work to expose the truth without fear or favor, one of the last true journalists.
Legacy media goes down in flames, again! Kudos to Matt, Walter and all the Racket team.

The 6 ways from Sunday crowd need to be brought to heel.
How? By what methods? Show trials? Mass executions?
The best way might be continuing to laugh at them.
Moral superiority………..
I'm in favor of fair trials and due process, but in this case I admit I kind of the idea of show trials followed by immediate execution.
Loss of sponsors
Karen...why are you talking like the people that already have tried stuff like that.
The very first step needs to be housecleaning at the DOJ / FBI The very first person who should be brought in to chat with Congress is Louie Freeh, former Federal Judge, former FBI Director , former partner of Hunter Biden and key coordinator of the Burisma influence peddling scheme.

I'd like to see some pardons for Jan 6 participants who are incarcerated
So you do want show trials and prison camps for political opponents. How soon before he declares martial law?

You should be ashamed. We've already seen martial law and prison camps.
You mean like the show trials the Dems put on for Trump? That were orchestrated from the Biden/Obama WH? Based on your comments below, you really need to widen and/or vary your news sources.
If the intel capos can be eliminated, some of their lieutenants will rat out others, and a healthy purge can begin.
They are irrelevant, they already have smaller audiences than people like our own Matt here on Substack, or the Tucker Carlsons and Alex Jones on Xer.
Maybe Trump should make it so that there can be no pharmaceutical company advertising on TV. This would sink the legacy media and allow something else to spring up. Something not carrying the water of big pharma. I really hadn't considered how pharma had captured the media with the ads. After all, who takes prescription medicine because they saw an ad on TV??
"After all, who takes prescription medicine because they saw an ad on TV??

Sadly, more than likely true.
And we Americans, along with those around the globe, will suffer from the vapid banality we are subjected to.
Why bother? Do you still have cable? I don't.
same , just internet
Ofc not....no one does.
My point was more toward the 'chihuahua effect' of the corporate media landscape: they keep making noise, and it's incessant.
they held on as long as they could until finally calling it for trump. I had to flip on the alphabets to see there reactions and it was what you would expect. They simply dont understand the public, and live in a coastal urban echo chamber, still grasping at straws about messaging.

Now they are worried that Matt will turn to the dark side of propaganda. Not a chance.
What makes this administration so unique is the incredible depth of the Clinton Obama Biden corruption , perhaps the worst in American history.

However, most of the writers missed the enablers A) the attorneys who are essentially fixers and B) the highly corrupt bureaucrats such as Blinken Wray etc
As he should. Integrity is needed in journalism. There are only a few in that category.
Watching totally full of shit Mika & Joe this morning totally cool with Hitler winning. Absolutely nauseating.
I've said it in live chats, but will say it again. Elon, Matt et al have made it possible
Now Nevada 53% Trump
Trump and Elon may have literally saved the country, if not humanity itself — Trump by proving it was possible to resist the borg (big tech, corporate media, the Democrats, academia, the government) and Elon for providing an avenue for dissenting voices to be heard that had too much of an established network effect to be throttled like Parler and Gab, both of which were removed from the app stores as soon as they started to gain traction in the runup to 2020.

I can’t wait to see what RFKj does with HHS.
Lots o' snake oil one imagines.
Could be that. Also could be that health care policy will be able to exist for patients, not pharma corporations, health insurance companies, pharmacy benefits managers, and doctors and researchers beholden to schmucks like Fauci.
Two good books: The Real Anthony Fauci, by RFKj and Blind Spots, by Dr. Marty Makary.
We'll see. I really hope Trump stays true to his word as well as put all the right people in positions to make a positive impact on our country. RFKjr Tulsi, Vivek, ... who else?
be curious if Elon can cut the dead weight in the federal agencies like has been claimed. Would be amazing if he could. Will Trump truly drain the swamp this time??
it will be a very high mountain to scale.
Yes, the Borg. Good one. Perfect. Coco McShevitz, I am going to steal that, if I may.
Good call on liberals vs. progressives. I'm an old-school liberal who hasn't been able to identify the Democratic party since Clinton was in office. They stopped standing for what they used to stand for, and started standing for shit like war and censorship. Now that the nation has rejected that, not sure where they go.

A true journalist who, or so it appears, will be able to continue his great work unhindered by Big Brother.
💯
Matt, don’t underestimate the influence you had on independents who were made painfully aware of government corruption and censorship thanks to your brilliant and courageous investigative reporting.
Second losing Democratic candidate in a row who didn't have the courage to speak to her own disappointed supporters on election night.
We know the narrative will be: "America won't elect a woman." But Maggie Thatcher would have been out there on stage, come hell or high water. So maybe pick some different women.
Tulsi
Funny you should mention it, because I wrote her in. Probably the only vote she got in my county.
She’s young. Plenty of time. I’d vote for her in a flash if she ran.
I wrote her in 2020
I wrote her in too
Tulsi would’ve won big. But as we can see she’s not a machine woman so she’s now with Trump. RFK Jr may have won. Same treatment. Turns out resistance is not futile.
good point.
I really hope he brings Tulsi in.
Secretary of Defense. Or State.
or VA?
She could do tremendous good to help with the VA - a cause that directly impacts her as well. That's a great idea.
I'll be curious to see the inevitable analysis of how much Trump support was due to RFK, Tulsi, and the rest. That's why he got my vote, despite Trump.
Agreed
Exactly, a woman, not a cackling hyena or two.
Exactly! There will be a woman, I hope some day but not today and for that I’m grateful. And patient.
If Democrats can find a woman who can succinctly define what a woman is, I’ll consider voting for them again. What has crippled the Party is its acceptance of the hard left as the new Democratic center. In my youth Democrats were the party of the working man and woman. Republicans were the guys (only guys) who looked like the dude on the Monopoly game box.
My how things changed.
They need to pick a viable candidate, and I speak as a someone that almaost always goes with the republican. What happened to a democrat like Bill Clinton??? I guess Obama killed that democrat party. Slick Willie may have had some serious wandering ayes, but at least as president he was a likable guy, even if you disagreed with all his policy. I was never embarassed of being represented globally by him. If the Dems find a likable candidate like him, man or woman, and move to the center a little bit on the big issues they can win it in 2028. If they keep rolling along with the identity politics, and checking boxes, they are doomed for the forseeable future.
Slick Willy killed that party. Slick Willy and Hillary embraced the Wall Street Money and later the SF Big Tech money, and all the debauchery that comes with it. Today, it's laughable at best the Democrats can put in an ad that they are working for the middle class.
When Obama ended Occupy, it was the wake up call for those of us that went to school before they stopped teaching critical thought. That time is also in line with the Ewok line.
Your probably correct, especially when he sold out the unions and working class supporting NAFTA. I guess I never thought of the transition of the dems with the tech boom from being for the working man to the tech class which turned into the laptop class.
I don't think there is any question that the Republican candidate in 4 years will be JD .
He is awesome and has the breadth of experience from being raised in a drug savaged family and then perhaps " saved" by the Marines. The Marines happen to be the finest leadership school , perhaps in the world. He's also going to have the respect of the military , perhaps with the exception of the Palace Princes of the Pentagon.
Remember, this Sunday is the Marine Corps birthday.
This version of the democrats is terminal. But when they get it and die off is unclear. Their relationship to the big money, WEF, Soros, Gates, Rockefeller, crazies at Atlantic Council, universities, green new deal acolytes etc will keep driving this moribund morass of losers for awhile. Early assessments by MSM doesn’t at all look self reflective. And so like the Tar Baby, they may be getting shellacked for awhile hopefully.
Dems should find a likable guy? Like Trump?
Bill Clinton had two things going for him:
1. He knew what a woman was…perhaps too well.
2. He was fiscally responsible.
She’s pathetic
People don't understand how totally unqualified Camoola is . All she's done throughout her political career is run her mouth. She to the left of 85% of Americans, arrogant, intellectually challenged and every job she has had was working with corrupt fellow democrats.
San Francisco used to be America's GEM , now it is unlivable with 40+% of the offices vacant and a higher percentage of retail vacant. Streets are littered with drug addicts and sidewalks slippery with crap. So bad that there is an internet app that will find the least poop strewn path to a destination. The owner of the largest upscale shopping center simply put the keys in the mail to the lender as all the majors left. Camoola was DA
When she went to Sacramento as AG she helped nourish Antifa into the mob it is today by not prosecuting violent crimes by the organization on State Capitol grounds and on various UC campuses.
America Unburdens Itself From What Has Been
-TheBabylonBee
Sleep tight. Can't wait to hear the post game comments from democrats trying to explain this wipeout.
MSNBC is still peddling J6 as insurrection and that Trump wants to shoot Cheney in the face, but they're admitting it's over.
I highly doubt they are admitting it's over. They are planting the seeds for Phase 2. I am sorry, I do not believe the left is going to go quietly into that good night. Big Pharma and The Military Intelligence apparatus are surely not going to.
Its incredulous - attempting the firing squad hoax after the press’s lower than Congress approval rating.
Yeah but now Comcast wants to get rid of MSNBC
They could probably get $50 or $60 for it.
That much? Maybe Madcow will take it over as a tax write-off.
I don’t know, the equipment is probably worth $100 or so.
Will they go after him for his supposed senility now? A lot of articles about his so-called rambling lately…
The case is much harder with Trump winning the popular vote.
I think he did big rallies in CA and NY to run up his popular vote numbers. Will be interesting to see how his final state totals are vs 2020 and 2016.
I thought that, too.
I was watching some CNN county-by-county and state-by-state analysis last night, and Trump improved his two earlier election numbers in almost every location.
How that must grate on Hillary
She might be happy Kamala didn’t defeat her at becoming the first female president
Not really. It has no heat man feelings.
This is why Vance was a great VP pick-he can actually act as an intelligent, and self aware face of the administration, unlike Pence, who was just there as an evangelical vote magnet.
Pence was pathetic. Again, Trump a businessman not a politician, needed help and advice from those hacks. He’s learned a few things since then (I hope).
They’re just getting warmed up. They should be happy, I think their viewership goes up with Trump as president.
Are you referring to Biden?
funny you should say that. they just did
I’d ask where, but there’s little doubt it’ll be everywhere in the next few months
Spoiler alert, they’ll deny the result
Where does election-denying sit on the denial axis? Higher or lower than science-denials?
It depends on who is doing the denying... When the righteous are the deniers, there is no harm or foul.
I say take them up on that and make ID mandatory.
Also make elections doubt free and fully auditable.
I want a receipt with my choices and a unique ID that I can find on the final data and prove that my vote survived intact.
Even paper ballots go through computers.
When I make a bank deposit I get a receipt showing the amount and my balance. I can check it online. This is easy and can be done with complete privacy and anonymity.
The only reason not to do it is to cheat.
The central (necessary) reason for this Commiecrat debacle was that🐪-a was a TERRIBLE candidate. Even worse than Brandon hiding out in his basement among the classified documents he stole, Hunter's coke, his $$ from influence peddling, bribes and other grifts?
And thank you for your dose of sanity in all this!! Long Live our First Amendment!!!
Long live the First Amendment. Free speech is the whole thing. Far, far too precious to risk losing.
Amen-now Taibbi can have an ordinary cat and dog relationship with this administration, instead of the Orwellian mess we have had the last four years.
💯!!!
Thanks, Matt, you contributed to tonight's outcome. Rest up so you can take in The View and MSNBC later today!
Thank god I no longer have to worry about prison time for that meme I posted 4 years ago.
That all depends on which state you live in. If you are on the west coast or CommiColorado, be careful!
Great reporting, during the entire, very long election. It has been historical.
Who new a Party labeling 1/2 of all Americans ill educated, racist rubes, too stupid to appreciate the "greatest economy on earth" , would not win?
Who knew running ads, with a celebrity informing women, it was OK to lie to their husbands about their votes, like it was 1964, would be insulting?
Who knew multiple legal cases, lacking any rational legal basis, might spur voters, to support the targeted?
Who knew running a candidate that de facto legalized drug sales and use, and thefts to $950, in her home state, might be a bad idea?
Who knew parents might believe boys in girls bathrooms, locker rooms and on their athletic fields might be a bad idea?
Who knew if Dems opened the border, not only people looking for economic opportunity , but criminals and terrorists might cross it?
Only in America can the ship head so off course , and then right itself.
It has been indeed, but you and Walter both helped keep me sane and entertained on the long strange trip. Many thanks to the both of you.
100%
The 16-year reign of Black Jesus is over. No one outside his family will ever again care what TF Barack Obama has to say. Especially when he’s lecturing us.
They’ll care ( a hardcore 20%)but he won’t deign to leave the Beyoncé party circuit on Martha’s Vinyard. Hopefully this election marks the final death rattle of the Clinton Machine-of which Kamala was the Admiral Donitz…….
I'm hearing fireworks in Fairbanks. Trump beat both Biden and Harris. It's the biggest comeback in a hundred years. The GOP now controls all branches of government. I hope they do good with the power they've been given.
70 on next birthday and I've never seen anything like this. Equal to the moon landing as far as I'm concerned.
Only if in the next four years the administration leads the way in skewering The Blob, and in the process convinces at least some of the dopes who voted for Harris how wrong the Leftist establishment has gone. It will be a massive war, and we all know the Dems ( meaning The Destroyers, which I think is the most accurate name for them ) won't miss a trick of defamation, subterfuge, lawfare, sabotage, whatever, to try to defeat it. We all know Trump was rather clueless when he became President in 2017, but he's been wised up, and man, must he be pissed off.
I was extremely pleased by Trump's acknowledgement of victory this morning. It was dignified, gracious, even statesmanlike. The boy may have promise. I'm referring to Trump, not to Vance.
I noticed it, too. It would be great to see him embrace the role. His comments were inclusive- lots of we and all Americans. It was good to hear.
72 here👵🏼. Yeah, you are right. I think we are witnessing something historically unique and meaningful. Better than the moon landing😭.
yes historic but still not better than the moon landing.
Yes, please. 🙏
Australian media announcing Trump won.
Thank you Matt, for all your diligent work!
Thanks Matt and Walter for doing your thing. This is the biggest 1st amendment moment since I don’t know when. I wouldn’t be saying this if he lost the popular vote, but all in all, I think it shows we’re on the right path.
70 years ago my father told me Christopher Columbus was a closet Jew. My family escaped the Inquisitioon and here I am. Just north of Vermont awaiting the American Invasion. Fuck you and your whole damn family of fucking Goddamn NAZI BASTARDS. I
Oh Moe, just shove it... your anger and ignorance epitomize what Americans have just voted against.
Thank you for the feedback.
I am autism spectrum disordered and 76 years old and I don't personally give a fucking shit but my children are Jewish and they look and act Jewish and I am fucking retarded over six foot tall and speak the fucking King's English. Nineteen eighty four was Bibliocal Allegory and still is Biblical allegory🤣.Manitoba is the Gateway to China and its Prime Minister is a rapper and a Democratic Socialist and Manitoba is not behind the electronic curtain.
Yellowknife Northwest Territories is West of L.A. and North of Edmonton. Whiting Indiana Oil comes from Native sovereign lands. "These are the best of times" Charles Dickens. Capice?
Huh??
Thanks mike avoid anything I write as Mark twain said never argue with an idiot they will dazzle you with their experience and expertise. I am an idiot please don't respond to my comments.🤣 Pretend they are like dog shit on the sidewalk.
You have autism, I have hand tremor. Your point?
That's more than autism
Yes, your children are Jewish. All the more reason to stand with Donald Trump and against the Antisemitic Democratic party of today. Do you really think Israel would be safer with Harris in the White House? Please.
Yeah, this is why some people leave their drunk posts and emails in drafts so they can reconsider in the morning. You may wish to try this, cause I don’t even know who you’re pissed at.
My wife and I wore out the vinyl groves on Excitable Boy and on Springsteen's Nebraska when we lived in the land of the Midnight Sun. Thank you. It is three AM and we are lighting candles. We are old and exhausted from cursing the darkness.
Excitable Boy… Now there's something we have in common.
You mean gd nazi rat garbage don't you? There's about 120 million of us as of tonight. Remain calm. The other 100 million are not coming your way. They are going to be part of MAGA before this is over. Give Tudeau a kiss for us.
I gave Justin a kiss but he was in diapers and his father was my member of Parliament and they lived in our neighbourhood where there were few Catholics and even fewer Protestants but we spoke English not Humpty Dumpty, or Newspeak and went to Protestant schools. People like Captain James T Kirk , Steven Pinker, and Leonard Cohen who led the country band at Westmount High School. Kamala went to Westmount High School. Doug and Kamala can move to Montreal and be assured of being in the Prime Minister Residence in Quebec City in Three years. We have the video. We love Kamala.and she doesn't deserve America. That is why we left in 2003 and moved HOME to our Zion next to the Appalachian Trail to a town that Brother Bernie knows very well.
You want Kamala? I like Canada too much to want to wish her on you, but take her, she's yours. Please.
mY YOUNGEST GRAND DAUGHTER IS A tAR hEEL AND DESPITE WHAT YOU nazi gop NOMINEE FOR gOVERNOR MAY HAVE SZAID. SHE HAS NEITHER A TAIL NOR HORNS UNDER HER HAIR. AS sHAKESPEARE SAID: BLEEDS WHEN PRICKED BY SHITHEADS AND THINGS LARGER THAN sEA mONKEES.
I sent 25¢ off for a package of sea monkeys when I was a kid. They were kind of a disappointment, being essentially just a type of almost invisible brine shrimp.
Leonard Cohen released The Future in 1992 and America chose murder not Democracy but when Leonard led the country band at Kamala's High School the future was not ours to see Que Sera Sera. I was thinking White Cliffs of Dover but that is a strange kind of love and it is 5:55 and I wanted to be sleeping at 6:66 and my wife has gone to bed and she needs a hug she loved her country and will sit shiva. It's Closing Time from The Future Leonard Cohen

We owe you a debt, Matt. You played no small part in making this happen by being a true journalist for America when we needed it the most.
P Nut is Avenged!!
You got that right. Poor P’nut, poor raccoon playmate, and requisite human family. We need to reduce govmint regulation, and fire 50% of civil servants at all levels of govmint. Civil servants have way too much time on their hands to even come close to making P’nut & family a case.🙏🏼
Small businesses, and mom + pop micro-businesses desperately need LESS, LESS, LESS govmint regulation in order to make enough profit to support one person, or a couple, or a couple + kids, or a couple + kids + parents, etc. No more free stuff. No more welfare bums.🙏🏼Yes to crafts(wo)men, farmers, plumbers, electricians, vehicle mechanics, plasterers, roofers, siders, road layers, gardeners, tilers, carpeters, metal workers, heating and air conditioning mechanical (wo)men, woodworkers, cooks, teachers, tutors, lamp makers, book binders, weavers, seamstresses/sewists, brick makers, brick layers, boulder movers, jewelry artisans, concrete/cement (wo)men, nurses-nurses-and-more-nurses (of olden days), illustrators, photographers, writers, reporters, newspaper(wo)men, one-room schoolhouses (elder students “assist” the younger students; currently called ‘home schooling’), machinists, local actors/actresses, librarians, glass workers, painters of art, painters of houses, arborists, you get the picture.🙏🏼
Ok Elon, time to walk into DC with the kitchen sink.
