It was a very heart warming clip during one of The Great Incompetent's recent interviews where he says "people say I'm the greatest President ever." And the report, unable to contain his immediate honest response, "no one is saying that." (The look on his face was "are you delusional?") Heart warming.

The Democrats in Maine were anybody by Janet Mills with support for Plattner, Mills is 79. (She looks good for 79, but still, that's 85 by the end of the six year term.) At some point this just becomes elder abuse. Luckily Maine Democrats had a second bench that had a number of strong candidates. With the Republicans they are still running the likes of nut jobs like Paul LePage. "I'm not running for the whales of Maine."

Any BDE thoughts on David Crawley in Wisconsin? He has got to lose the mustache. It was interesting that neither Sanders nor AOC endorsed Hong, would that have made a difference for her campaign? I expect it was more to do with newness and inexperience with such a high profile election than it did with policy issues. The Thanksgiving comment was made the same day that Hong had spent in meetings with Native Americans. Though a stupid comment, I can see where the knee jerk emotional blurting out of canceling Thanksgiving came from. Political candidates, which I don't think she was at the time, aren't allowed to make knee jerk emotional missives.

At karaoke last night you should have seen Mitch's moves for "Livin la vida loca". Muy caliente.

I haven't heard much from the campaigns about the massive Medicaid cuts that the Republicans are delivering after the mid-terms. The Big Ugly Bill ($625 billion dollars cut from Medicaid over the next 10 years). Independent estimates are 7.8 million people will lose Medicaid coverage because of the neo-con agenda of The Great Incompetent. Seems like a good issue for poorer red states that are the most dependent on federal funding to provide services.

Steyer would have been full on about developing renewables. I just don't feel like Becerra is going to be full on about anything in particular. With the fresh energy the Democrats are going to have with El-Sayed and others in the Senate, I think Becerra is going to feel "safe". And safe is not going to undo all the damage that the neo-cons unleashed have done during The Great Incompetent's regime.

Holding receptions and illegally holding onto power really are two separate functions.

I could see him as an Attorney General that could enforce the rule of law. Or on the Supreme Court. Not in elected office though.

Collins will be 74 in December. She sure seems older than Elizabeth Warren, but she isn't. Maybe it's just the 30 years Collins has been in the Senate.

It must have been an enormous catering cart to fit his fat ass in it. I'd love to have heard that conversation when they explained The Commander-in-competent he had to hide. Did they use cheese burgers to lure him in the cart?

Brilliant. It's a sign, like Jesus on toast.

Gary Larson knew about the Strait of Hormuz in 1980, why didn't The Great Incompetent. Right, he's incompetent.

Yes

Send Barron to the tanker if there's nothing to be afraid of. Show some conviction the pathetic old feeble-minded embarrassment to America.

Gone and forgotten. Especially by The Great Incompetent

This was a pretty good imitation.

It's super hypocritical for vaccine deniers to use electricity. If you don't recognize science. Stop using it. I can't tell if the barking dog is a Russian/Chinese bot or super happy to be so paranoid wrapped in it's MAGA information bubble.

That is exactly what The Great Incompetent wants you to think. He feeds on disillusionment. He feeds on declarations of defeat. I think that The Great Incompetent has crash the economy on purpose. When people are fearful they are more open to being manipulated by fear. Nothing provides more joy to a narcissist than manipulating others and feed off their fear. Ever declaration of defeat goes directly from our keyboards to The Great Incompetent's gullet. Which is really unnecessary when he is such a weak pathetic man.

The thing that is going to get us out of the Mideast forever is wind power, solar power, tidal power and any other kind of renewable power that you can think of. As some brilliant pundit said during the first invasion of Iraq: "if Kuwait grew broccoli no one would give a shit about invading." Or words to that effect. Yet another reason to recognize human driven climate change. How many degrees of temperature rise have Middle East wars caused over the last 45 years? I bet 1.5C to 2C of global warming.

Either is fine, just as long as there is only one. BDE. Top or bottom.

What is it about this endless string of Republicans with creepy abusive stories? Something comes up about a Democrat and they are quickly escorted out the door. Republicans, it's deafening silence.

They have started to talk about boots on the ground. There are two ways to end this conflict: 1) negotiate a peace deal; 2) win through a military operations with boots on the ground. We all know that The Great Incompetent is incapable of negotiating shit with a toilet. He can't even strike a deal with Canada and Mexico for f's sake. I expect, both sadly and angrily, that The Great Incompetent will have boots on the ground. None of those boots will be worn by Barron. As a Peas Prize wiener, err winner, it's really falls on your shoulders to convince The Great Incompetent to act like an adult man for once in his life.

History, history, history. The Ayatollahs fucked over America with the hostage taking in 1979, knee capping Carter and delivering America to the evils of the Reagan revolution. No idea what their calculation was there. Reagan has lead to the long slow demise of the American economy and social fabric. Did the Ayatollahs really play that much of a long game? Were those chants about "Death to America" really about what the neo-cons have done to the USA? This time around are the Ayatollahs going to continue to play the long game. Twist The Great Incompetent's tiny balls in a way that will aid the Republicans to maintain power, and continue the long slow demise of the USA. Or will the Ayatollahs castrate The Great Incompetent in a way that will aid the Democrats to win, end this stupid war of choice, and potential have an adversary that is interested (and capable) of negotiating a deal that will end the conflict, open the Straight of Hormuz, and end Iran's nuclear weapons potential (like Obama had already done 10 years ago).
