The idiots have won. Fair and square.This is what they want and I prefer democracy to the alternative.

So, I'm going to commit to protecting myself and my loved ones by idiot-farming.

I still have ethics, so I'm not going to start a religion. Instead, I'm going to buy the dip in renewables over the coming years to exploit the dislocation of our politics to the reality of climate change.

Blessed are the geek, for they shall inherit (whatever remains of) the Earth.

One things for sure, if there are further abuse allegations to be made against Gaetz, they can hardly be sent to the justice department he'll head.

Meet our new Attorney General.
Beyond his craven loyalty to Trump, I can only imagine the here idea is to use a child predators to go after other child predators. But only if they don't use Venmo to publish records of their abuse, because that'd be underhanded.

With a majority of the Americans who even bothered to save us from authoritarianism electing not to do so, it's going to be a real puzzle for a fair number of my fellow citizens the next time they're asked to stand for the national anthem with those same people.

While I still have it, I will be enjoying my 1st amendment rights against compelled speech. I will remain seated. I don't stand in common cause with fascism or those who support it.

To get a little perspective on global politics in the coming Trump presidency, you could do worse than listening to the BBC Any Questions radio show.

Although it's a little troubling to hear senior politicians and commentators discuss what Trump "thinks" about particular issues as if he hasn't already shown himself to be transactional and self-serving.

This is America's "Jesus, take the wheel" moment.

What's your bailout condition for the coming administration?

I think mine will be the creation of federal agency hotlines to report the presence of suspicious individuals within our neighborhoods.

There's always weed.
Until they come for that.

Next time you walk through a domestic airport concourse, most of the people walking around you saw no reason not to vote for a fascist.

We're often told that there's more that unites us than divides us, but if that's what unites us, I want no part in it.

It's not that Trump was branded a fascist by a 4 star general that served in his administration.

It's that American voters knew this before they voted. And they voted for the fascist.

He won the popular vote. I'm in the minority by not accepting fascism.

That's a head scratcher, but at least I have a foreign passport.

Hey, MAGA crowd, I accept the results of elections, even when they don't go the way I wanted.

See, it's not that hard. I'm modeling correct behavior for you twats.

Public safety announcement:
Take the time for self-care.
Your local weed dispensary will be there for you until at least January 20th 2025.

America shat the bed again.

The polls are so close that we need a political Punxsutawney Phil to tell us which way things are going to go.

So, I'm wondering, which way up is Sam Alito's flag these days?

I don't have a large social circle. I have my wife, my sons, my extended family, and one really good friend.

Every 2 years, elections in this country reaffirm my reluctance to engage with people. If anywhere *close* to half of my fellow citizens would vote for fascism if it means they get what they want, I have no desire to engage with them.

The sooner people stop looking to the bible to form their beliefs, the better.
