Hadrian was especially evil.

Beware the wall builders.

xp - clearly because he won a MacArthur fellowship for music, we should consider him a genius in everything .... I mean, I'm not disagreeing with him, but still ... why?

_xp sorry for ignorance, who is that person? Is he part of her team?_

No; Vijay Iyer is a jazz pianist and composer who's won a MacArthur "genius grant" and teaches at Harvard.


Oh ok, I’m very aware that Modi is unpopular among some of the diaspora but I’m not sure this guy is strictly relevant in this context?

Xp Like, I hope it was actually a fuckup and they thought they were going to the classy hotel

Fuck Modi

Never changed username before (cardamon), Sunday, 8 November 2020 19:33 (five years ago)

Which of the big name Trump gang are out with him? That lady he put in charge of schools, is she out?

Never changed username before (cardamon), Sunday, 8 November 2020 19:34 (five years ago)

considering every teacher's union i know of is posting some variant of "Bye, Betsy! Love, The Teachers" -- pretty sure "that lady he put in charge of schools" is very much out

sarahell, Sunday, 8 November 2020 19:36 (five years ago)

Cabinet members only survive a change in administration by the grace of the incoming president, if he happens to be a buffoon making gestures towards bipartisanship xp

The Bosom Manor Michaelmas Special (silby), Sunday, 8 November 2020 19:36 (five years ago)

There are presidential appointees with fixed terms like the fed chair and FBI director I think but otherwise the only republicans in Biden’s cabinet will be the dozen or so he nominates

The Bosom Manor Michaelmas Special (silby), Sunday, 8 November 2020 19:38 (five years ago)

a buffoon that ignores the historic support teachers unions give the Democratic Party, esp. centrists like Biden ???

sarahell, Sunday, 8 November 2020 19:38 (five years ago)

Ed no, but he’ll make up for it elsewhere

The Bosom Manor Michaelmas Special (silby), Sunday, 8 November 2020 19:39 (five years ago)

If we'er going to post moronic fantasies about things that Biden hasn't done yet, maybe Biden will appoint Trump president?

the colour out of space (is the place) (PBKR), Sunday, 8 November 2020 20:01 (five years ago)

Not in the president’s gift to appoint the president iirc

The Bosom Manor Michaelmas Special (silby), Sunday, 8 November 2020 20:01 (five years ago)

Though he could orchestrate Kamala Harris’ resignation, appoint Trump VP, and then resign.

The Bosom Manor Michaelmas Special (silby), Sunday, 8 November 2020 20:02 (five years ago)

Nah, DNC changed the rules for him.

the colour out of space (is the place) (PBKR), Sunday, 8 November 2020 20:03 (five years ago)

Teachers unions didn't really stop charter school people making inroads with Democrats. That would be one of the tests about whether any real change has happened since Obama.

Donald Trump Also Sucks, Of Course (milo z), Sunday, 8 November 2020 20:05 (five years ago)

Good news for Biden: I doubt it's even possible to pick someone worse than Betsy Devos, like Don Jr. would actually be a better choice

rob, Sunday, 8 November 2020 20:54 (five years ago)

I don't know much but I am pretty sure I know what firm is going to be in charge of White House landscaping next year.

Totally.

"Which of the big name Trump gang are out with him? That lady he put in charge of schools, is she out?"

I can't imagine anyone he brought in staying except for Jerome Powell, who Trump constantly threatened to fire.

akm, Sunday, 8 November 2020 21:01 (five years ago)

hope the whistleblowers all get their gigs back

henry s, Sunday, 8 November 2020 21:02 (five years ago)

Maybe Trump will pardon Edward Snowden on his way out

The Bosom Manor Michaelmas Special (silby), Sunday, 8 November 2020 21:03 (five years ago)

It is customary for the entire cabinet to tender their resignations upon the swearing in of a new president. The new president has the power to fire them all anyway and this procedure is more decorous.

the unappreciated charisma of cows (Aimless), Sunday, 8 November 2020 21:04 (five years ago)

Jill Biden is a teacher. Ergo Betsy Blackwater will be tossed out like the trash that she is.

OrificeMax (Old Lunch), Sunday, 8 November 2020 21:04 (five years ago)

Trump will symbolically fire Anthony Fauci to give him a nice 10-week vacation before he is immediately rehired by the incoming administration

mouts and shurmurs (Ye Mad Puffin), Sunday, 8 November 2020 21:05 (five years ago)

He probably goes straight to the transition team if he gets fired, fauci doesn’t look like a man who does 10 week vacations.

American Fear of Scampos (Ed), Sunday, 8 November 2020 21:17 (five years ago)

Since when does the Lamestream Media call who our next president will be? We have all learned a lot in the last two weeks!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 8, 2020

So… technically speaking, what are his chances of overturning the obvious result by exploiting some arcane loophole in the EC (which is an outdated system to begin with, but I digress) and extending his diarrheic reign over the next four years and beyond?

pomenitul, Sunday, 8 November 2020 21:20 (five years ago)

The transition team could start announcing press conferences in ever-more-absurd locations, then issuing corrections.

This would genuinely be a great move, but not fit in Biden's dream of ~healing~.

Can’t wait till his wife leaves him. I’ll never forget going on her Instagram after their wedding and there not being a single picture with him in it.

@oneposter (✔️) (sic), Sunday, 8 November 2020 21:32 (five years ago)

The lamestream media has called every election in the modern age, including 2016's which was just peachy with Trump then. Only dufuses think they officially declare a winner.
Neither the courts nor the EC can save him.

A True White Kid that can Jump (Granny Dainger), Sunday, 8 November 2020 21:32 (five years ago)

The right-wing amnesia on "prematurely declaring victory" would be appalling if it weren't so fucking predictable.

Trump declared victory Tuesday night.

Now it's like "why the rush?"

Sad!

Open the secret files!

four seasons total landscaping is the name of my dog (Matt #2), Sunday, 8 November 2020 22:07 (five years ago)

Amazing

Can’t even begin to outline the unhinged QAnon explanation for the Four Seasons mishap.

Something about money laundering and Democrats and murder at the crematorium next door?

It’s incomprehensible. They need Q, their leader, who’s been absent since Election Day.

Yep! It’s still true. She seems to have interests that aren’t shouting at the internet, good for her.

MONEY PLANE!

American Fear of Scampos (Ed), Sunday, 8 November 2020 22:14 (five years ago)

You owe a lot of money to some very bad people.

pomenitul, Sunday, 8 November 2020 22:17 (five years ago)

Yeah it's just weirdness on weirdness.

I recently took a break from the frankly hilarious landscaping weirdness to briefly turn back to the darkly hilarious "watermark" weirdness.

Beware. This shit is a rabbit hole.

Okay so how likely is it that Donny Trouserdump gets 25th-ed before January rolls around? Even his enablers are gonna get fed up with this shit eventually.
