Fetterman to @daveweigel on forcing Biden aside: "For those that decided and moved to break Biden, and then you got the election that you wanted, it’s appropriate to own the outcome and fallout....When you take a reasonable, calculated risk to fuck around, embrace your culpability for what you found out." Today's Democrats in Disarray Drama is all about Nancy Pelosi attempting to lay the blame on others -- Joe waited too long to drop out, and Kamala was a bad candidate who Joe shouldn't have anointed -- and a lot of Democrats aren't having it, and insisting she's to blame.
I don't care who's right, I'm just rooting for brutality

Our ancestors defeated Nazi tyranny only to see our politicians import theological Islamic fascism to Europe.
Jewish girl Anne Frank spent much of her life hiding in the Netherlands from Nazis that eventually found her and killed her.
Today Jews attending football matches are targeted and attacked by Muslim mobs hunting in packs, waving Palestinian flags, burning Israeli ones and kicking the shit out of anyone that dares to fly it in that same country at a football game.
What on earth have we done? Who gave their consent to this?

So, I don't believe this, but Rogan claims that Elon Musk has some app that told him that Trump won
"four hours before the results." I mean, he did have a GOTV campaign, and of course he would then be getting data about how many voters turned out in different areas, so I think that's probably it. I don't think he has some kind of Artificial Super-Intelligence Precognition app.
Or... does he?!?!
Justine Based man update: "I am decompressing after four years of walking on eggshells" and feeling forced to lie about my agreement with "permitted opinions"
Justine Bateman
@JustineBateman
Decompressing from walking on eggshells for the past four years.
I have found the last four years to be an almost intolerable period. A very un-American period in that any questioning, any opinions, any likes or dislikes were held up to a very limited list of "permitted positions" in order to assess acceptability. 2/
I've never in my life known that to be an American environment. It's an environment I have encountered in smaller groupings (a church, a private club,a clique), but never before as a national blanket. It has been suffocating. Common sense was discarded, intellectual discussion was demonized. Only "permitted position" behavior and speech was "allowed." Complete intolerance became almost a religion and one's professional and social life was threatened almost constantly. Those that spoke otherwise were ruined as a warning to others.
Their destruction was displayed in the "town square" of social media for all to see. This was the #MeMeMeMeToo moment, where every effort was made to divert attention to oneself, instead of recognizing how one contributes to the whole.This was the era of trying to exercise control over those who did not want to follow the crowd and has their own ideas about what they needed to do. This dampened our culture and innovation, bringing people to even think that generative #AI, a regurgitation of the past, was actually our cultural future.
When you starve a society of those called to be independent thinkers and cultural and intellectual innovators, you rob that society of any forward movement. Those that tried to impose that control maintained a kind of "hall monitor" position by threatening others with damning labels like "Sexist," "racist," "homophobic," etc, when the free-thinking and questioning was nothing of the sort. However, the mob mentality that followed caused these social convictions when there was often no evidence to support them.
She links "Extraordinary Public Delusions and the Madness of Crowds."
I am neither one extreme or the other, but am one of the millions of people who believe in common sense, and that everyone should be free to live their lives however they want, unless that freedom interferes with someone else's freedom to live their own life.
That's it. 10/fin I hope she's ready for what's coming -- but no one ever is. They are so hateful and so coordinated and calculated in their hatred that it is overwhelming even to strong people. Ethan Van Sciver confesses to having a lot of thoughts about suicide when the cancel mob destroyed his career. He says that his cancellation actually killed him, or killed the man who lived before, and he came back from the dead as an immortal vampire without any heart or feelings left. That's how searing a cancellation can be.
Hopefully, this the the beginning of a mass movement to cancel the cancelers and excise them from public life.
Pretty straightforward from here:
Protect Kamala Harris @DisavowTrump20
Want to blow Republicans' minds?
Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor retires.
President Biden appoints Kamala Harris to Sotomayor's vacancy with a lame duck Democratic senate majority.
Supreme Court Justice Kamala Harris.
Don't think so...

Professor/NYT columnist Tressie McMillian Cottom urges Dems to double down on identity politics "[Trump] tapped into one of the most powerful of American identities, he tapped into white identity...That means you should double down on identities of your base."

CBD and J.J. Sefton are joined by polling and election data guru Dave in FLA to take a deep dive into the Trump victory, the political realignment it signals, and more!
Oh no! Frum flounces:

@davidfrum
De-registered as a Republican today.
Thanks to bonhomme. I have to tell you, though, that I bet he's announced this ten times before. All of these guys just keep writing the same articles and x-posts, always saying the same time: "At long last I've decided to quit the GOP." They get to sell the same article 15 times to the leftwing media.
