Mourning in America - Trump Year One: November '16 to

i volunteer as tribute xp

Gingrich out

Brave of him

damn

this is like musical chairs

probably would help if the presidential nominee in 2020 (if there is an election) is someone besides the most hated candidate at that time.

hey, Andrew Cuomo! star star

― Supercreditor (Dr Morbius)

yeah two words for you morbz "president-elect trump"

Obama looks 95 years old in that Twitter video.

was gonna say the same thing but i think the lighting is just funny, there seems to be a light directly above his head that brings out the grey in his hair

Gingrich out

Can't wait to see which somehow-even-worse dude he finds instead

G. Gordon Liddy?

Oliver North?

not sure why he hasn't tapped hannity honestly

None of these people want to do these jobs. A radio show is about a 40 hour work week, maybe less? Cabinet Secretaries do 10-12 hour days and usually work weekends. For under $200K a year.

None of these people want to do these jobs

including Trump!

and 14+ hour days for SOS, AG, DHS, SECDEF, etc.

maybe they can outsource it to hillary i think she really wants to do the job

admit I am kinda bummed about Newtie though. I wouldn't say that I like him exactly, but I do have this sort of attitude similar to one would have for a misbehaving puppy that thinks it's people. Like aw isn't that cute he has an IDEA! And then sometimes he brings you your slippers. But mostly he just chews up the carpet and shits in your shoes.

this dog will eat your baby and insist on your patting its head for the bright idea

fuck, i was taking solace in the hope that Gingrich was going to be murdered in Newt of the Long Knives

have we covered this thinkpiece yet?

well, very few of us are vegans, for starters

can we get eminem to write a dissenting opinion just for lols?

maybe I'm just sympathetic to Newt because he seems to actually believe in science

some good news

Digby located the hottest of takes from a PUA/MRA fuckface who basically thinks anything goes now. Can't wait to see these dudes get maced, stabbed in the dick, or both. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/people/controversial-pick-up-artist-roosh-v-celebrates-donald-trump-s-victory-if-the-president-can-say-it-a7421161.html

funny how "the best" people don't actually want to work for Trump

a couple days ago there was this video of a totally unhinged trumpist woman losing her shit, uncut, at an msnbc reporter:

is the Kurt Cobain quote ironic or

blue collar middle america has en masse helped elect a trust-fund baby who has, over-time, inherited over $600,000,000.00 from his father.

is that actually true cuz if so lol

But mostly he just chews up the carpet and shits in your shoes.

Shitting out Amazon reviews, no less

at the risk of sounding like a broken record, how come more isn't being made of the louisiana senate race? https://www.bloomberg.com/view/articles/2016-11-16/democrats-can-t-write-off-the-last-senate-race-in-louisiana

cuz Democrats are a bunch of pussies? you'd think the party would be expending resources to bolster turnout in New Orleans at least

just shared that fwiw

Shakey otm

right wing co-option so far includes:

pepe
cuckolding
new balances

Oh wow, the Girl Who I Shouldn't Have Started a Conversation With at a Party really let herself go

I wonder if the washington times is all pissed off about doing the hard right news outlet thing first

Re: the Louisiana race, when I looked into it there was every indication that run-off or no, he was going to get trounced. I guess you never know, though.

More interesting, North Carolina still has not decided its gov race.

entirely possible, but turnout in runoff elections is notoriously low + unpredictable. you'd think some anti-Trump anger might be channeled effectively

israel's ambassador shouts out bannon? http://www.politico.com/blogs/donald-trump-administration/2016/11/ron-dermer-israeli-ambassador-praises-trump-bannon-231578

David Remnick talks to Obama.

The official line at the White House was that the hour-and-a-half meeting with Trump went well and that Trump was solicitous. Later, when I asked Obama how things had really gone, he smiled thinly and said, “I think I can’t characterize it without . . . ” Then he stopped himself and said that he would tell me, “at some point over a beer—off the record.”

I wasn’t counting on that beer anytime soon. But after the sitdown with Trump, Obama told staff members that he had talked Trump through the rudiments of forming a cabinet and policies, including the Iran nuclear deal, counter-terrorism policy, health care—and that the President-elect’s grasp of such matters was, as the debates had made plain, modest at best. Trump, despite his habitual bluster, seemed awed by what he was being told and about to encounter.

Denis McDonough strolled by with some friends and family. The day before, the person Trump sent to debrief him about how to staff and run a White House was his son-in-law, Jared Kushner. They had taken a walk on the South Lawn.

I asked McDonough how it was going, and he gave me a death-skull grin. “Everything’s great!” he said. He clenched his teeth and grinned harder in self-mockery. McDonough is the picture of rectitude: the ramrod posture, the trimmed white hair, the ashen mien of a bishop who has missed two meals in a row. “I guess if you keep repeating it, it’s like a mantra, and it will be O.K. ‘Everything will be O.K., everything will be O.K.’ ”

n the Oval Office, the President was quick to comfort the young members of his staff, but he was, an aide told me, even more concerned about the wounding effect the election would have on the categories of Americans who had been routinely insulted and humiliated by the President-elect. At a social occasion earlier this year, someone asked Michelle Obama how it was possible for her husband to maintain his equipoise amid so much hatred. “You have no idea how bad it is,” she said. His practiced calm is beyond reckoning.

If they both take faculty positions at a law school somewhere I might have to apply to law school

Meanwhile, for those curious, here's a breakdown of what happened in Florida, specifically the famous I-4 corridor:
