Elon Musk Is Officially The Incoming First Lady

The Express Tribune. November 13, 2024.

Internet clowns Elon Musk as Donald Trump's new first lady. "Mrs. Trump looks a little different". As Melania remains absent, social media dubs Musk "Mrs. Trump" for his constant support and MAGA allegiance.

Reports suggest that Melania Trump may not reside full-time at the White House, and with her absence, the internet has humorously dubbed Elon Musk as Donald Trump's "new First Lady". The billionaire tech mogul, a strong supporter of Trump's reelection campaign, has become a prominent presence at the president-elect's side.

"Nothing is really going to change".

Obviously Lisa believes Elon's BS, but what he claims is not likely to happen. As per the response from Copilot below...

Elon Musk's claim that prices will go down with donald trump's presidency is quite optimistic and doesn't align with economic predictions. Here's why...

Deflation: While deflation can lead to lower prices, it's generally harmful to the economy. Deflation can cause reduced consumer spending, lower business revenues, higher unemployment, and a potential economic downturn2.

Tariffs: Trump's proposed tariffs are likely to increase prices, not decrease them. Tariffs on imported goods typically lead to higher costs for consumers, as importers pass on the additional costs5. This would affect a wide range of products, including electronics, clothing, and groceries46.

Greedflation: While companies could theoretically reduce prices by cutting profit margins, this is unlikely to happen on a large scale without significant market pressure or regulatory intervention.

Elon Musk might genuinely believe in the potential for lower prices, but his statements could also be influenced by political or personal motivations. It's important to critically evaluate such claims and consider the broader economic context.

Regarding The Presidencies Of John Anderson And Ross Perot

Do you remember the presidencies of John B. Anderson and Ross Perot? Yeah, me neither. Though it seems that the bl0gger Minus FJ "remembers" the presidencies of these two men.

Joe Conservative. November 13, 2024 at 4:14 PM.
In 2016 you said that Trump didn't have a chance, either.

The Prophet Dervish Z Sanders. November 16, 2024 at 11:56 AM.
I did not. He ran as a republican. One of the two major parties. The president HAD to be either him or Hillary Clinton. You don't understand the nature of our two party system?

Joe Conservative. November 17, 2024 at 2:36 PM.
...and you have forgotten Jon Anderson and ross perot.

The Prophet Dervish Z Sanders. November 17, 2024 at 10:24 PM.
Their presidencies? Yes, I completely forgot about president John Anderson and President Ross Perot.

Me: Who was president John Anderson?

Copilot: John B. Anderson was never president. He was an American lawyer and politician who served in the U.S. House of Representatives from Illinois's 16th congressional district from 1961 to 1981. Anderson was a member of the Republican Party until 1980, when he ran as an independent candidate for president. In the 1980 election, he received 6.6% of the popular vote but did not win.

Anderson was known for his moderate views and his criticism of the Vietnam War and the Watergate scandal. After his political career, he continued to work as a lawyer and advocate for electoral reform.

Me: What about president Ross Perot?

Ross Perot was an American businessman and politician, best known for his two independent presidential campaigns in the 1990s. He was born on June 27, 1930, in Texarkana, Texas, and passed away on July 9, 20191.

Perot founded Electronic Data Systems (EDS) in 1962, which became highly successful and was later sold to General Motors in 1984 for $2.5 billion. He also founded Perot Systems in 1988. Perot was a strong advocate for balancing the federal budget and was critical of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA)1.

In the 1992 presidential election, Perot ran as an independent candidate and received 18.9% of the popular vote, one of the strongest showings by a third-party candidate in U.S. history. He ran again in the 1996 election as the nominee of the Reform Party, winning 8.4% of the popular vote.

Perot was also known for his efforts to free American prisoners of war during the Vietnam War and his involvement in the Vietnam War POW/MIA issue.

Third Party Presidential Candiates Ranked by Popular Vote Percentage Received...

Theodore Roosevelt, 1912: 27.39% of the popular vote.

Ross Perot, 1992: 18.91% of the popular vote.

Robert M. La Follette, 1924: 16.62% of the popular vote.

George Wallace, 1968: 13.53% of the popular vote.

John B. Anderson, 1980: 6.61% of the popular vote.

For the record, I don't recall the presidencies of anyone on this list. Probably because none of them were elected president.

Alexander Hamilton Has Been Proven Wrong

Alex Hamilton: The process of election affords a moral certainty, that the office of President will never fall to the lot of any man who is not in an eminent degree endowed with the requisite qualifications. Talents for low intrigue, and the little arts of popularity, may alone suffice to elevate a man to the first honors in a single State; but it will require other talents, and a different kind of merit, to establish him in the esteem and confidence of the whole Union, or of so considerable a portion of it as would be necessary to make him a successful candidate for the distinguished office of President of the United States.

It will not be too strong to say, that there will be a constant probability of seeing the station filled by characters pre-eminent for ability and virtue. And this will be thought no inconsiderable recommendation of the Constitution, by those who are able to estimate the share which the executive in every government must necessarily have in its good or ill administration. Though we cannot acquiesce in the political heresy of the poet who says: "For forms of government let fools contest -- That which is best administered is best...

-- yet we may safely pronounce, that the true test of a good government is its aptitude and tendency to produce a good administration. The Federalist Papers #68, March 12, 1788.

Thom Hartmann: Alexander Hamilton thought he (and the others who wrote the Constitution) had it all figured out. He and his colleagues never imagined that a group of billionaires would spend 43 years and billions of dollars to seize the US Supreme Court, which would then legalize political bribery.

They never conceived of a foreign billionaire family coming to American and building a nationwide media ecosystem that was capable of convincing Americans that up was down, wrong was right, and a convicted fraudster and rapist would be a noble president.

Without billionaire-controlled media (including billionaire-owned social media) and billions spent to carpet-bomb America with extraordinarily deceptive advertising, Donald Trump would never have had a chance.

d0n0ld Lied About Project 2025

Question: Prior to the election, what statements did trump make in regards to project 2025?

Perplexity: Based on the search results, Donald Trump made several statements distancing himself from Project 2025 prior to the election...

1. Trump claimed ignorance: "I know nothing about Project 2025. I have no idea who is behind it", Trump posted on his social media platform Truth Social in July 2024.

2. He expressed disagreement: "I disagree with some of the things they're saying and some of the things they're saying are absolutely ridiculous and abysmal", Trump stated in the same social media post.

3. Denial of involvement: "Anything they do, I wish them luck, but I have nothing to do with them", Trump added.

4. Campaign rally statement: At a campaign rally in July, Trump said, "I don't know what the hell it is", referring to Project 2025, before calling some of its policy proposals "seriously extreme".

5. Lack of endorsement: Trump's campaign spokeswoman Danielle Alvarez stated that Trump only endorses the Republican Party platform and the agenda posted on his own website.

6. Campaign managers' statement: Trump's campaign managers, Susie Wiles and Chris LaCivita, issued a joint statement saying, "President Trump's campaign has been very clear for over a year that Project 2025 had nothing to do with the campaign, did not speak for the campaign, and should not be associated with the campaign or the President in any way".

7. Denial of reading: Trump claimed he "NEVER READ IT, NEVER SAW IT," despite his many ties to the sprawling list of co-authors.

These statements show that Trump consistently tried to distance himself from Project 2025 throughout his campaign, claiming no knowledge of or involvement with the initiative.

Question: But he lied, correct?

Perplexity: Based on the information provided in the search results, there are strong indications that Trump's claims of ignorance about Project 2025 were not truthful. Here's why...

1. Extensive connections: Despite Trump's denials, he has numerous ties to Project 2025 and the Heritage Foundation, which is behind the project.

2. Involvement of close associates: Many of Trump's close allies and former administration officials are directly involved in Project 2025, including...
• Ken Cuccinelli, a former top official in Trump's Department of Homeland Security.
• Russell Vought, Trump's former budget director.
• John McEntee, Trump's former personnel director.

3. Policy alignment: Many of the policies proposed in Project 2025 align closely with Trump's own stated agenda and actions during his previous administration.

4. Heritage Foundation relationship: Trump has had a long-standing relationship with the Heritage Foundation, which has been supportive of his policies and has provided staff for his administration.

5. Inconsistent statements: Trump's claim of never having read or seen Project 2025 contradicts the level of involvement his close associates have had with the project.

6. Campaign strategy: Some analysts suggest that Trump's distancing from Project 2025 might be a strategic move to avoid association with some of its more controversial proposals during the election campaign.

While Trump publicly denied knowledge of and involvement with Project 2025, the extensive connections between the project, its authors, and Trump's own circle suggest that his claims of ignorance are likely not accurate. The evidence points to a much closer relationship between Trump and Project 2025 than he publicly acknowledged.

Question: Didn't Rolling Stone Publish an article titled "Republicans Celebrate by Admitting They Can't Wait for Project 2025"? Can you tell me about that article and let me know if there are any other such statements you can cite?

Perplexity: Yes, Rolling Stone did publish an article with that title on November 6, 2024, following Donald Trump's victory in the 2024 presidential election [3]. The article discusses how some Republicans and conservative figures began openly acknowledging their support for Project 2025 after previously distancing themselves from it during the campaign.

Key points from the article and related statements include...

1. Post-election admissions: Several conservative figures made statements on social media and in broadcasts admitting their support for Project 2025 [2].

2. Matt Walsh's tweet: Conservative commentator Matt Walsh tweeted, "Now that the election is over, we can finally admit that yes, Project 2025 is indeed the plan. Lol." [2]

3. Steve Bannon's endorsement: Recently released from incarceration, Steve Bannon praised Walsh's statement on his post-election broadcast, calling it "fabulous" [2].

4. Other conservative figures: The New Republic reported that right-wing podcaster Benny Johnson boasted about the project, stating, "I am pleased to confirm that Project 2025 was genuine all along." Additionally, T County GOP Bo French tweeted, "Can we now acknowledge that we plan to implement Project 2025?" [2]

5. Rolling Stone's coverage: Rolling Stone's official Twitter account posted, "Donald Trump has won the election, and Republicans are now comfortable openly admitting that Project 2025 was the plan all along". [6]

It's important to note that during the campaign, Trump and his allies had distanced themselves from Project 2025, with Trump claiming he was unaware of it and had no involvement [2]. However, the post-election statements suggest a shift in messaging now that the election has concluded.

These admissions have reignited discussions about the potential implementation of Project 2025's policies, which include significant changes to various aspects of the federal government and social policies [1]. While some of these statements may be intended to provoke political opponents, they have nonetheless brought renewed attention to the project and its potential impact on a second Trump administration.

tRump Supporting Bl0gger Minus FJ Admits d0n0ld Is The Dumbest President Ever

A moron predisent is apparently exactly what this person wants. He's pretty sure that this idi0t is going to get into office a second time. I guess a total moron running the country is what the v0ters desire. He thinks. Some do, for sure. Let's hope there are enough non-morons so that doesn't happen. But, given the republican and Putin cheating that is certain to occur, who knows?

Joyce Vance

It’s really not that hard to say it: Trump tried to overthrow our government & he needs to be held accountable. Nothing else really matters if we want to continue to be the United States of America. 🧵 https://t.co/x7woLpim8i

Tom Brady, Magamoron

According to Dotard Donald, "[Tom Brady is] a friend of mine, he's a great guy, and he's a great athlete obviously, but he's a winner". Apparently the two actually were friends. Tom Brady "kept a MAGA hat in his locker and supported Trump during his initial presidential campaign in 2016". When asked, prior to the 2016 election if he wanted Dotard to win, Brady said "I hope so. It would be great".

As we now know it was not great, it was terrible. What a dope. Maybe that had something to do with why Gisele Bündchen divorced him?

Deranged Capitol Rioters Need To Be Held Accountable Despite The Failure Of Their Attempted Coup

The pro-Dotard blogger Minus FJ argues that they don't need to be held accountable. Because insurection isn't insurection if your coup fails.


The rioters were deranged and they were trying to overthrow the government. Five people died, yet Minus downplays what happened by (abssurdly) referring to the rioters as LARPers. The reason is that he doesn't want anything to be done about ANY of it. The false "election fraud" claims or the violence.

The reason? The following two comments lay it out.

Glenn Kirschner on the 1/29/21 airing of the Stephanie Miller Show...

"An Attempted Coup without accountability is nothing more than a trial run".

Thom Hartmann on the 1/29/21 airing of his eponymous program...

"If you look at how national political cults get destroyed, look at the end of WWII and Germany and Japan. The cult of Tojoism and Nazism... those cults were destroyed when the people (who engaged in the atrocities based on their belief in those cults) were prosecuted. That took down the cult.

So, one of two things is going to happen... either the Biden Administration is going to hold these people accountable, including the legislators who were there... Mo Brooks, Ted Cruz, Josh Hawley, who were whipping this thing up... and Donald tRump. And the people who went into the Capitol building. Either they hold them accountable and prosecute them and bring down this movement. Or January 6th was a rehersal and you're going to see it play out again in four years. It's probably not going to be tRump. It's going to be Tom Cotton or Josh Hawley.

China Dotard's Huge Chinese Payday. 26 Million In Chinese Money Right After Dotard "Won" In 2016

As per the NYT, a China-based tRump Organization company received 17.5 million. Additionally Dotard sold some properties (including a penthouse) to Chinese buyers totalling 8.6 million.



This was right after Dotard was sworn in as predisent. Yet, according to Dotard's supporters, it's our next president who (re China) is a "sellout traitor extraordinaire". As the following video (linked to by the Dotard cultist Minus FJ on WYD) "proves".



Wow! Joe Biden has said "China" a lot. Proof positive he's in China's pocket. Dotard, on the other hand, as predisent launched a failed trade war with China that resulted in financial hardship for small American farms (who lost deals to export their goods to China). In response Dotard handed out a lot of taxpayer money (much of which went to Big Ag while small farms went under).

Al Gore Was Elected President

NYP: In an effort to illustrate how media can get it wrong, Trump campaign communications chief Tim Murtaugh posted an image of a newspaper declaring Al Gore as the winner of the 2000 presidential election. 10/9/2020.

The problem is that the front page in the Washington Times was a fake.

"Greeting staff at @Team Trump HQ this morning, a reminder that the media doesn't select the President", Murtaugh said in a since-deleted tweet Sunday.

"PRESIDENT GORE", read the headline, which was supposed to show how the conservative newspaper prematurely projected the win.

"Those photos have been doctored. The Washington Times never ran a President Gore headline", the outlet said in a tweet debunking Murtaugh's post Sunday afternoon.

This may have been a doctored and fake newspaper headline that never ran, but Al Gore did in fact win. The Supreme Court stole the election from Gore and anointed the loser, george w bush. So, if they had run that headline, they'd have been right. Because Al Gore WAS elected president 1+2.

Yo, Semite, It Isn't Joe Biden Who Suffers From Obvious Cognitive Decline

Video: "During a bill signing ceremony for the Great America Outdoors Act, Donald Trump mispronounced Yosemite National Park as "yo-semite" as he delivered remarks praising national landmarks".

No, wait... they are actually talking about Joe Biden. But, as the people at the Daily Show who put this video together clearly demonstrate -- their concerns actually apply to d0tard. Not Biden.

d0n0ld tRump Is The Verba Non Acta Predisent

"Acta Non Verba" might be White Supremacist Code For "We Know Trump Lies And Like That About Him". The bl0gger Minus FJ says it very frequently. In regards to d0n0ld tRump. Apparently he thinks d0n0ld lives lies by this credo.

In regards to gun control, d0tard (in his media press conference following the two shootings in El Passo and Toledo) said "we vow to act with urgent resolve". This vow is bullshit. There have been numerous mass killings in the past and republicans never act with "urgent resolve". tRump's vow is completely meaningless.

This is something Minus knows. Explaining why he wrote "Acta non Verba, baby!" in reaction to a comment of mine in which I wrote that tRump saying "we must reject White Supremacy" was disingenuous. Minus knows tRump lies and that he will NOT reject White Supremacy. Just like he isn't going to do sh!t in regards to gun control.

Not only are these lies cool with Minus, they (the lies) are one of the BIG reasons Minus loves tRump so much. Dotard says what he must and, if fools believe him, that's great. And it doesn't matter if many people don't believe him. Because it will allow him to continue acting as the White Supremacist community (of which Minus is a part) wants him to.

Robert Mueller Let Down The Nation

Robert Mueller is a man of high integrity is what the country has been hearing ever since he was tasked with looking into the Russian meddling in the 2016 election. Although, not if you listen to trumpers. According to members of the Orange Turd Cult, Robert Mueller is a part of the "deep state" who was fabricating evidence with the help of 13 angry Democrats in order to frame Dotard tRump.

Now, while I do not doubt that, despite being a Republican, Robert Mueller sought to provide the American people with a through honest report detailing Putin's successful attempts to install Dotard as the 45th president. Yet, he failed. He followed his narrow mandate and DOJ policy that says a sitting president can't be indicted. He did his job "by the book" is what I've been hearing. And, even though I was quite disappointed after the Mueller report was released, I reluctantly accepted that this was the best Mueller could do.

But was it? I mean, the fix was in as soon as tRump found his Roy Cohn in Bill Barr. A repugnant individual who now tows the tRump line in regards to the inane conspiracy theory about the tRump campaign being "spied" on. He is setting things in motion in regards to his Orange Turd master's desire to investigate the oranges (aka the origins of the Mueller report).

So WTF could Mueller do except lay out what happened and leave it to Congress to use his report as they see fit (which should obviously be to open an impeachment inquiry)? The report makes it crystal clear that tRump obstructed justice. Although the toady Barr lied about that. In regards to collusion, the Mueller report lays that out too. Although Mueller let tRump and associates off the hook because there was no agreement he could uncover. Putin didn't call Dotard on the phone and say, "let's collude, bro".

Apparently that (or something similar) is what Mueller needed to say a high bar needed to convict on conspiracy had been met. Which may have happened, but the obstruction made finding it impossible. But is that really the case? Not according to former Naval intelligence officer, Malcolm Nance.

Malcolm Nance (23:36): ...Trump's... accepting benefits from Russian activity that he knew was going on. And Mueller had to redefine the word "collusion", right? And the word "conspiracy" to not indict these people. It had to be active, tacitly explicit coordination both ways. Wait a minute, spy world doesn't work that way!

The excerpt above comes from the podcast "The Bob Cesca Show". Bob Cesca "is the Managing Editor of The Daily Banter" and possesses "a Bachelor's degree in Political Science". I downloaded the 5/8/2019 postcast from Stephanie Miller's "Sexy Liberal Network" and listened to it on Saturday, 5/25/2019.

Below is another excerpt, this one from 5/1/2019. Bob Cesca talks to Sarah Kendzior, a journalist who has "expertise on authoritarian states" (she has a Master's degree in Eurasian Studies). As per Wikipedia "her focus of study was former Soviet Union authoritarian states".

Sarah Kendzior (30:27): The Mueller report, at least in my view, is not a very good report. It's not very through. It's missing a lot of information. He didn't interview a lot of key players. ... He didn't do a good job. What they [Barr and Trump] put out was such an incredible lie. This idea that Trump is exonerated. That Trump did not collude with Russia... that's just a flat lie. But, underneath that, it's still a pretty lackluster investigative report. ...it's not high quality and I kind of wonder, what were they up to?

As soon as Barr misrepresented what was in his report Mueller should have called a press conference says Kendzior. As for the report missing a lot of information, I recall people saying (prior to the report being released) that Mueller definitely had Trump's tax returns. As it turns out, it looks like he didn't. Although that did not stop Dotard from lying about that recently. tRump said "I assume Mueller checked my taxes".

Bullsh!t, liar. If Mueller had looked closely at tRump's taxes he would have uncovered tRump's many financial frauds. Which is why tRump does not want anyone to see any of his financial information. His tax returns or anything to do with his finances. BTW, didn't tRump's chief financial officer Allen Weisselberg make some kind of deal with Mueller for his cooperation. WTF happened with that? What he knows will come into play in one of those spun off investigations, hopefully.

Either way, I have to agree with Kendzior that the Mueller report was a big dud. In regards to what is missing. What is there is pretty damning, though Barr and tRump spun it and much of the general population likely bought their bullpucky.

Though it might be that Rod Rosenstein is responsible. He appointed Mueller and was his boss while Jeff Sessions was AG. Rod Rosenstein, as it turns out, "Rosenstein Halted Trump-Russia Counterintelligence Investigation". "...Rosenstein directed Special Counsel Robert Mueller to limit the scope of his inquiry to possible crimes, not national security threats. Rosenstein made that order without telling the FBI, which had launched the investigation because counterintelligence investigators thought Trump's links to Russia posed a potential national security threat". link.

tRump's ties to Russia were and remain a national security threat. F*ck that Turd Rod Rosenstein. The only reason Nixon resigned was because members of his party had integrity and told him he had to go. Those member of the republican party (like Liz Cheney and Kinzinger) have been labeled RINOs and won't be around much longer. The majority of the republican party is completely corrupt and morally bankrupt. They don't have any integrity, unfortunately for the Nation.

Tweets About Treason

The following are tweets from March 12 and March 13 concerning trumper treason. Treasonish in that the actions being tweeted about concern collusion with Russia to elect and (later) to protect the Putin puppet, d0nald tRump.

This first one is from Malcolm Nance, author of The Plot To Hack America. Wikipedia says the "non-fiction book... [is] about what the author describes as Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections".

"What the author describes" must be some of that "liberal bias" Conservatives complain exists in online resources and fact checking sites. Although Malcolm is a (former Republican). In this tweet, Malcolm talks about the recent House "investigation" into whether or not Russia tried to influence our elections and whether or not d0nald tRump colluded with Russian operatives.

One year ago I predicted America was entering a "Benedict Arnold moment". Little did I know it would be a "Benedict Arnold Movement". #RussianRepublicans

— Malcolm Nance (@MalcolmNance) March 13, 2018

House Republicans, with their sham investigation (headed up by the "recused" tRump stooge Devin Nunes) are participating in a "Benedict Arnold MOVEMENT". They are all traitors, in other words. The "Benedict Arnold moment", btw, that Nance references concerns Trump and his campaign colluding with Russia.

Which is NOT to say that Nance believes anyone (tRump, people who were a part of the Trump campaign or Congressional Republicans protecting Trump) will be charged with treason. That is highly unlikely. Even if their actions could RIGHTLY be described as treasonous.

Dictionary.com defines treason as "a violation of allegiance to one's sovereign or to one's state". Section 3 of article 3 of the Constitution more narrowly defines treason. Basically, because we are not in a declared war with Russia, tRump and associates can't (and won't) be charged with treason.

But, as per the non-Constitutional definition, my verdict is guilty. Or, it sure as hell looks like there is treason here. tRump and associates were quite eager to collude with Russia and their cut-out, WikiLeaks.

My reference to WikiLeaks as a Russian cut-out, which is "in espionage parlance... a mutually trusted intermediary, method or channel of communication that facilitates the exchange of information between agents", is via Malcolm Nance. As per a 10/2/2016 Nance tweet "WikiLeaks is a Russian intelligence run cybercrime laundromat".

But back to the trumpy treason. As per the authors of the new book, Russian Roulette by Michael Isikoff and David Corn, Vice President (at the time) Joe Biden used the word after being presented with Christopher Steele's dossier.

This tweet is "not found"...

"If this is true, it's treason". Vice President Joe Biden's reaction to learning the full scope of Russian interference in the 2016 election and interactions with people in trumpworld. Just one revelation from @DavidCornDC and @Isikoff's new book Russian Roulette. #maddow -- Joy Reid (@JoyAnnReid) March 13, 2018.

In this tweet MSNBC host Joy-Ann Reid references an appearance by Isikoff and Corn on the Rachel Maddow program. The authors previewed their new book in an interview with Rachel on 3/12/2018, during which they spoke about how Biden referred to what Trump is accused of in the Steele dossier as "treason".

Thoughts On The Alleged "Deep State" Anti tRump Conspiracy

The following is from the Deep State Wikipedia entry...

In the United States, the concept of a deep state is an entity which has been alleged to be involved in a coordinated effort by career government employees and others to influence state policy without regard for democratically elected leadership. It has often been dismissed by numerous media outlets and individuals as a conspiracy theory.

Yeah, I'm leaning toward labeling the "deep state" a conspiracy theory. Given the fact that I'd never heard of it before the ascendency of tRump. Seems like a convenient excuse for a weak president to explain why he isn't implementing his agenda. A so-called president who takes credit for his predecessor's economy in order to sell phony success to his dupes.

This is an administration built on lies. Like the lie that Obama had d0tard Tower wires tapped. Having total control of all three branches of government leaves nobody to blame for failures like "repeal and replace". Explaining why he and his deluded followers have latched onto this "deep state" baloney.

It's government employees belonging to the "deep state" club along with "obstructionist" Democrats who are preventing tRump from making America great again. Or throwing up roadblocks in a futile attempt to prevent tRrump from MAGAing. He'll win out eventually. That is what I guess the average still-loyal trumpazee believes, at least. But tRump does need someone to blame for his failures until he "drains the swamp". He's going to defeat the imaginary "deep state" and the "obstructionist" Democrats who have no ability to obstruct.

btw, when I say the deep state is "imaginary", I mean in the sense that tRump and his delusional followers are spinning it. I do believe that large governmental institutions protect themselves. Explaining why some things don't change regardless of whether it's Republicans or Democrats holding power. But a "deep state" made up of Obamaites/Leftists/globalists that are out to stop tRump from "draining the swamp" (something he isn't even trying to do)? It's a bunch of BS.

Luke's Revenge

If you do not get even, you are just a schmuck! -- DJT, 2007 quote from the "president elect". A hate-filled man who will have revenge on his mind as he enters the WH.

The hate-filled blog troll known as "Luke the Puke" (AKA TOM, AKA Steve) has shut down his blog. He is currently accepting comments from "team members only", meaning he will receive no more comments.

This jackass is absolutely giddy over the coming Trump presidency, and has been spamming liberal and conservative blogs with his smug I-told-you-so's. Even though he NEVER told anyone so. In his last post before the election results, he said "President Clinton will give us all plenty to complain about, except for the Kool-Aid drinking liberals who will see her election as the salvation of America".

He expected HRC to win the White House! Now he lies and says he knew all along that Secretary Clinton would lose.

Luke The Puke: What a bunch of crybabies! They shut down comments because they can't handle I told you so, or can't defend their hate they have been writing for over a year. They misread the American electorate proving they had no clue what they were talking about. The MSN and pollsters mislead Americans and even went so far to say Hillary would win in a landslide. These hate filled liberals are mean and stupid. (11/10/2016 AT 4:20 PM).

As an aside, in that it has nothing to do with this post but is interesting nonetheless, Luke said (in the thread from WYD the comment above is attached to) "I am not a white male". Something I TOTALLY suspect he's lying about. Just as he lied about having "brain cancer". The scumbag even told me (using his second TOM ID) that the other TOM had "died".

Sure. That's why Luke's writings match those of TOM so very closely. Also why 3 commentaries from TOM's Stay A While appear on Luke's Words And Music (swtd-357).

But lying is what blog trolls do! For example, in a Words And Music (WAM) blog post titled "Benghazi, Benghazi, Benghazi", Puke defended Secretary Clinton, writing that the "investigation" yeilded "no charges, just baseless accusations", yet (in a comment submitted to my blog) he wrote that "it's OK when crooked Hillary lies about Benghazi".

When I pointed this out to him, the delusional troll said "no contradictions here". Right (dsd-39).

Now, on his blog, he's too cowardly to accept comments from those he mocks. Even as he continues to send me comments like the following...

Luke: Hi Nazi Boy!! Did you get all your Jew hating buddies to believe you yet? You are as wrong about me as you were about Clinton winning. It's nice to see you proven not only wrong, but so delusional that you have no clue what your countrymen are all about. Good luck with your next wrong assessment of ANYTHING. HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA What a fucking LOSER HA HA HA HA HA HA HA (11/11/16. Unpublished. Sent to Spam).

This is PURE delusion. *I'm* delusional because I "no clue what your countrymen are all about". When, from what he wrote, he CLEARLY also believed that Hillary Clinton would be our next president. As for "wrong assessments", I made NONE. I listened to the professional pollsters, and that HRC would be sent to the WH was their assessment. My assessment is that TOM, Steve and Luke are IDs all controlled by the same blog troll (swtd-357). An assessment I stand by.

This idiot started out as "Luke" by targeting various bloggers with bogus "plagiarism" charges. So why did he target specific bloggers? It isn't because any of them stole his posts, as he claims (swtd-346). That never happened. I know because he said I stole from him. But I don't want his garbage on my blog. I asked him to tell me what writings of his were on SWTD and I'd remove said writings immediately. He ignored me.

Proof he is a blog troll. As for the reason he targeted the specific people he targeted, he is motivated by revenge. Revenge for the "blog attacking" he imagined he endured while writing on his old blog Stay A While. "Due to Rational Nation attacking my blog with vulgar comments, I have had to install comment moderation. Assholes are everywhere" TOM wrote on 8/5/2010.

Later the imaginary "blog attackers" expanded to include previous readers and commenters on his blog. People who had said nice things about him. On 4/15/2010 Sue wrote, in regards to TOM's fake brain cancer, "Be well my friend!". And on 6/22/2010 she wrote "we've been praying!".

The kind of childish behavior of a Trump (who decided to run for potus after the jokes at his expense from President Obama at the White House Correspondent's Dinner).

Orange Shift

At their best, provisional ballots provide voters who would otherwise be turned away from the polls to have their votes counted, but at their worst, the offer of a provisional ballot can be "a way to brush off troublesome voters by letting them think they have voted". It is possible for parties to force certain voters to cast provisional ballots so they can suppress the vote total of an opponent being counted on election night. (Source).

The following is an excerpt from the 11/11/2016 airing of the Thom Hartmann Radio Program (edited for brevity and clarity by me).

Thom Hartmann: Yesterday I said I was going to share these exit poll results with you, but I couldn't verify them. I've now seen them from 3 different sources. ... this came from CNN and is available through tdmsresearch.com (Exit Polls and Computerized Vote Counts.

What they're pointing out is that, in North Carolina, according to the exit polls, Hillary Clinton won by 2%. But according to the official count? Donald Trump won by 3.8% [5.8% swing]. How does that happen? How so you get that much of a swing, which probably swung the Senate race as well.

In Pennsylvania, the exit polls showed that Hillary Clinton won by 4.4%, and presumably the down ticket Democrats [won by a similar margin per the exit polls]. Yet the official count was that Donald Trump won by 1.1% [5.5% swing]. In Wisconsin, the exit polls showed that Hillary Clinton won by 3.9%. Yet the official count says Donald Trump won by 9/10th of a percent [aproximate 4% swing]. In Florida the exit polls showed that Hillary Clinton won by 1.4%. Yet the official count showed that Donald Trump won by 1.3% [2.7% swing].

If those four states had gone the way of the exit polls - North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Florida - Hillary Clinton would be president, and Democrats would control the Senate. A number of people are saying this is proof the voting machines are rigged. I think that the exit polls were probably right.

The Republicans for 40 years now -- this goes back to Paul Weyrich - have been pushing this idea that there's voter fraud out there, and therefore we need to take people off the voting rolls because they might fradulently vote. [Kansas Secretary of State] Kris Kobach has this list of roughly 7 million people, the Interstate Crosscheck, well funded by petro-billionaires. And he's got some 30-odd Republican controlled states working with him to throw people off the voting rolls [actual number of states that use the Interstate Crosscheck is 27].

As Greg Palast laid out here [on the program when he was a guest last week]. It's mostly people with common names. You get a "Jim Washington" in Wisconsin and a "James Washington" in Florida. According to Kris Kobach they're the same person. So take them both off the voter rolls. It's somebody trying to commit voter fraud.

When, in fact, it's just a common name among African Americans. Last names of "Hernandez", "Kim" or "Park". Ethnic names are among the most common now in the United States. As opposed to the old Anglo-Saxon ethnic names like "Smith" and "Jones". They are still common, but not like this.

People went in and thought they voted. But they weren't on the voter rolls and were given a provisional ballot which never got counted. Which swung an election. Like in North Carolina, but 5.8 points.
