The beauty of this landslide (electoral plus popular vote), plus gains in Congress is that there is a clear mandate from the public for the Trump agenda.

And that means Congress will have to be at least somewhat responsive. It will be much harder for them to obstruct the agenda.

I predict 47 will effectively use direct communication with the citizenry to apply pressure to Congress as needed.

Now, a question regarding the White House key hand-over to our next President. I wonder if President Trump will have a team sweep the entire place for bugs. Having had to deal with the evil deep state the past 4 years, he can never be too careful, you know?

The Dems could get some advice from the Russians on how to hide the bugs. Didn't we find a couple bugs in our Embassy in Moscow?

Reading reddit today has been a delight.

But one thing surprised me was how many posts were asking for support groups. They didn't seem like troll posts either. Are people really so soft that they cannot handle when their party isn't in power anymore? We've literally switched parties every 4 years for the past 12 years....

The most fundamental and absolute right of Americans is the ability to direct our government with the one tool each citizen has. The vote. Now, AOC and Schiff have the balls to suggest that the people who actually voted them into office, lose that fundamental right.
Both of them should resign immediately!

¿Qué?

Everybody wants to belong. Claiming victimhood is an idiot's way of connecting. Then, others can swoop in and play the role of social media EMS personnel or caregivers, tending to the wounded. Victims and heroes. It's like Dungeons & Dragons but it's even more gay.

I would submit to you that these people might behave differently if they were face-to-face. Then again, maybe not.

People just don't grow up as quickly as they did in generations past, men especially.

I wonder how Lego day went today....

Excellent! Other than winning Nevada this time around, that map is identical to 2016!

Fun Fact - Harris won every state that does NOT require Voter ID. It's not that every state that the Dems won does NOT have Voter ID, just that all of the states that do are states that were won by the Dems.

I'm happy with the big victory but I wouldn't put this near the category of Reagan's 49 to 1 stone cold knockout punch.

Perhaps of note: while it's not surprising that she won CA, it wasn't I think overwhelmingly so. Assuming no fraud, she won the coastal metro areas as expected. But the rest of CA was all Trump. The ratio statewide seems like about 60:40 (again, assuming no fraud in the metro areas).

This SOB can ESAD for all I care.

Jack's not kidding. The comments are absolutely amazing. Cognitive dissonance on an epic scale. My mouth was agape while reading them.

Something that needs early review by the Trump Team:

‘Today, the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, the House Committee on the Judiciary, and the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government released a joint interim staff report titled, “The Intelligence Community 51: How CIA Contractors Colluded with The Biden Campaign to Mislead American Voters.”

There are 51 signatories, all of whom might need to find other employment.

Looking forward to " The Trump Presidency - Year V"

I have two obnoxious leftist coworkers call in "sick" yesterday.

It must be a coincidence that they were the ones struttin around like Bantam Roosters with their I voted for Kamala buttons all day Tuesday, making sure everyone saw just how superior they were.

I can't wait for their return. The TV in the break room is on Fox News and LOUD.

All the left now seems to be questioning how on earth 14+ Million democrats did not show up to vote this year compared to 2020.

It’s quite simple. That 14,000,000 number is based on an incomplete counting of the ballots cast. Here are more complete numbers:

As of 2 p.m. ET Wednesday, fewer people had turned out than four years ago—64.54 percent of the 245,741,673 eligible had cast ballots for a total of 158,549,000.

2020 - 159,738,337
2024 - 158,549,000*

A difference of 1,199,337; not 14,000,000 or 20,000,000 that others have posted.

* This number preliminary because, again, the counting isn’t finished yet.

You can see turnout by state at the University of Florida’s Election Lab here: Link.
