This is the election where celebrity endorsement failed utterly and good riddance.

Have a nice weekend! 🙂

I think that this election will be in the history books and studied from various aspects for hundreds of years. The attacks on Trump from the media were somewhat normal, but the Law-fare horrified me. I was ashamed that we had descended to the level of a Banana Republic where political opponents have their homes raided by government agents, and were charged with crimes on the most nebulous of grounds. The E Jean Carroll case against him required a special law lifting the statute of limitations for a six month window so she could bring charges otherwise too old. Shameful.

Another aspect worthy of study is how the Democrats really intended to return Biden to office, knowing of his mental situation. Had not Biden been goaded into foolishly publicly agreeing to the debate, he would have campaigned from his basement …again. The Democrats LIKED Biden’s incompetency- the party allowed special interest groups to run departments of the government to suit their personal agendas and whims, and there no controlling central power. Madness. Literally the inmates running the asylum.

While I am grateful that Trump was reelected I am not sure that America is going to more than superficially recover. Only so much can be done in four years and it is the work of decades. Almost all of our major cities are essentially destroyed, and the Democrats remain in power in them. I don’t believe we can recover the country without the cities and I don’t believe we can recover the cities. I recently read a paper on The Curley Effect:

We call this strategy—increasing the relative size of one’s political base through distortionary, wealth-reducing policies—the Curley effect. But it is hardly unique to Curley. Other American mayors, but also politicians around the world, have pursued policies that encouraged emigration of their political enemies, raising poverty but gaining political advantage.

I’m hoping Vance is the right man, in the right place, at the right time in History to take up the banner.

Fingers crossed because Trump can’t clear the swamp in 4 years unless he uses a flamethrower, and I don’t think he will.

Last time he tried Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell kept hitting him with a shovel while he was wrestling with alligators.

And I’M DURNEDYANKEECUS!

There’s no way one President in a single term, even if he’s Donald Trump, is going to undo the damage and corruption that it has taken decades to grow. What he CAN do is identify the problems, make them publicly known, suggest long-term methods to deal with them, and start building the staff and support to start in on repairs.

Of paramount importance, IMO, are two things: sunshine and staffing.

I don’t care how dirty and smelly that laundry is, hang it up where we all can see it. If prominent heads roll, so be it (and part of me says “so much the better”).

And PDJT must bring into his administration as many loyal MAGA staff as possible while easing out of positions of influence those who would impede his efforts.

That’s my 2¢. It’s too early to evaluate what’s happening but it won’t be too early for long. Fingers crossed, prayers offered.

That was one of the images that won Trump the election, in my opinion. Another was the McDonalds stunt, and then the rally arrival in the garbage truck wearing a safety vest. Those images had real impact.

Trump ran a brilliant campaign. His campaign staff and advisors were on top of the game, this time around. The man himself was unstoppable. He did rallies nonstop, interviews and talk shows, while Harris depended on TV ads and celebrity endorsements. The public noticed.

Seeing the video afterwards for the first time, it gave me a side of Trump I was surprised by.

“Fight fight fight”, I admit, not quite what I expected.
I would have expected that from Teddy Roosevelt.

It’s as close to a modern day equivalent as we’ll get to
“Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead!” or any other
pity exhortation at an historic instant from a leader in history.
He’s really made of sterner stuff than I thought.

The thing that impressed me most was choosing JD Vance. A bit of a rising star himself, I would have thought Trump would see him as competition. Instead, he chose a credible successor.

Trump’s a bigger man than I gave him credit for.

Yes, it still disturbs me that 47% of the electorate thought that Kamala Harris was a credible choice for President. I get that you have a volcanic hatred for Trump but why do you WANT Harris. Are you really that mindless?

@dissent555 — Mindless? May as well be. Their judgment was so poisoned by that volcanic hatred that their desire for Kakala seemed reasoned and thoughtful even though it was a stance completely fabricated by mass psychosis/groupthink.

Some of the people who have so narcissistically recorded themselves sobbing or screaming or raving (or all of the above) and putting their shameful histrionics online for all to to see appear so terribly damaged that I don’t know if there is any way for them to recover and resume human activity within reasonable norms.

RE “mass psychosis”

The official framing of the mass formation (or mass psychosis) “phenomenon” is misleading and wrong in terms of what the whole true reality is. The false hope-addicted psychologists and their acolytes want you to believe this is “just some temporary occasional” madness by the masses when it is but a spike of a CHRONIC madness going on for aeons with “civilized” people: https://www.rolf-hefti.com/covid-19-coronavirus.html

One of these mainstream psychologists who have been spreading this whitewashed reality, Dr. Desmet, also fails to see that the PLANNED Covid Psyop is a TOTALLY deliberate ploy because he doesn’t think (after more than 1 year, 2 years, even 3 years, into this total PLANNED scam!) it’s ALL intentionally sinister as he stated in a prior podcast (this makes him witting or unwitting controlled opposition).

In the May of 2022 podcast with James Corbett he stated that “some people tend to overestimate the degree of planning and intentions” (behind the COUNTLESS, VERIFIABLE, FULLY INTENTIONAL, FULLY PLANNED atrocities by the ruling tribe of psychopaths over the last century alone) and see all of it as being PLANNED which Desmet called “an extreme position” … Sound logical thinking is “extreme” and therefore false and sick in his demented delusional view!

This all means Desmet is ALSO a member of the masses of lunatics, an ACTIVE CARD-CARRYING MEMBER of mass formation!

And nearly ALL of the “alternative media” too has been mindlessly spreading Desmet’s fake and misdirecting narrative endlessly…

“My experiences with “alternative media” have been, for the most part, just as dreadful as with the mainstream media. Most are unprincipled scavengers, shills and prostitutes, willing, and even eager, to sell out for ego-gratification and/or financial gain.” — Barbara Hartwell, CIA Whistleblower

If you have been injected with Covid jabs/bioweapons and are concerned, then verify what batch number you were injected with at https://howbadismybatch.com

“We’ll know our Disinformation Program is complete when everything the American public [and global public] believes is false.” —William Casey, a former CIA director=a leading psychopathic criminal of the genocidal US regime

“Repeating what others say and think is not being awake. Humans have been sold many lies…God, Jesus, Democracy, Money, Education, etc. If you haven’t explored your beliefs about life, then you are not awake.” — E.J. Doyle, songwriter

“There are large numbers of scientists, doctors, and presstitutes who will sell out truth for money, such as those who describe people dropping dead on a daily basis as “rare” when it it happening all over the vaccinated world.” — Paul Craig Roberts, Ph.D., American economist & former US regime official, in 2024

@Eric — Fascinating.

Hate to point it out, but numerous medical professionals went along with the masks, the 6 foot distancing, the no gatherings unless it’s for a massive gathering for the “right” cause, the idea you had to wear a mask walking thru a restaurant, but you could take it off when sitting.

They all knew those things were bull, but didn’t say so, and didn’t back the brave few who spoke out.

And there’s no ground swell of professionals who are against the “placebo” non vaccine Covid vaccinations that are still being pushed in pharmacies and grocery stores with pharmacies from coast to coast.

Worse. Many medical professionals didn’t seem to know how viruses spread or how vaccines work. And I don’t think they were all being deliberately obtuse.

You make a great point here- I’m not a fan of Trump but I can’t deny that he’s charismatic.
