Fucking proto-facist mods make me include my own written commentary here. Don't they know I'm too busy and important to express myself in my own words when someone else's meme image will do?

I know in Georgia, it's pronounced Awl bennie. Emphasis on the last 2 sylables. Unusual facts.

In NYC Houston St. is pronounced 'How-stun' while in Texas it's 'Hew-stun'! That's because they are named after different people, although the NYC pronunciation long predates the Texas one.

THE MORE YOU KNOW.
 
I doubt Donald Trump will run in 2024, but no doubt Fox News will set the stage FOR Donald Trump to run in 2024. Fox will be on Biden's ass on day one. Heck, they already have begun. So Fox will think that riding Joe's ass every day day after day for the next 4 years will set the stage for Donald Trump to run in 2024, which by the way Trump won't, but regardless that doesn't matter to Fox.
 
I think I'm in on this Trump family takeover of the GOP. At least until I'm not anymore.
But over the next 2-4 years. Sure. Go for it. Shatter that party in two. You want a third party, here you go.
 
I don't think Trump will run in 2024. Several reasons:

1. With his age and health, he could be dead by then.
2. With his age and health, he could be infirm/convalescent by then.
3. He could be in jail by then.
4. He could be in exile to avoid jail by then.
5. He won't want to put himself in a position to lose again.

It's more likely he'll run Don Jr. instead.

They'll call it the Trump Party, trouble is the Trump family doesn't know how to party.

Maricopa County was the epicenter of the anti-immigrant movement. It just handed Arizona to Biden.

The onetime home of Joe Arpaio's Tent City jail helped turn the state blue for the first time since 1996.

I don't know. I still think shitting all over one of Arizona's favorite sons in his death when all he had to do was be even remotely civil was a big part there too.

NYTimes has that same image on a story in today's edition:

Out of office, Trump might seem a lot less formidable.

I used to subscribe to Mad Magazine in the late 1950's. Would come in a plain brown wrapper to protect the reputation of the recipients. "25 cents cheap." Sad that MM went defunct recently, at least I hear you can't get it in the stores anymore.

Yup. Know NYC's "How-stun" street well. It's an English pronunciation.

Lol
Decades working in NYC and that never registered.

Side note: I recall 2 youngins on the subway, one had that "I'm here for a modelling job" look and the other seemed to be her brother. Midwestern accents. Looking at the map "We have to get off at SHAAHHM- bhers"

At the time, I thought it was cute little moment.

Nearly 80% of Americans say Biden won White House, ignoring Trump's refusal to concede: Reuters/Ipsos poll

Nearly 80% of Americans, including more than half of Republicans, recognize President-elect Joe Biden as the winner of the Nov. 3 election after most media organizations called the race for the Democrat based on his leads in critical battleground states, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll.

Heck of a job Alabama sending this total boob to the US Senate. Usually just the House seats are available for a person of this caliber.

All it took was having an (R) next to his name. Too much MAGA around here for a Dem to win, unless there's a scandal (ie, Moore).

Tuberville's platform, probably like most Repubs, was to support Donald Trump. The guy knows jack shit about the job...just wants to be one of the boys.

I don't think Trump will resort to a coup; the reports suggest that even he is privately admitting he'll shift focus to 2024. The guy has a long, long history of talking a big game but ultimately falling short when he's asked to back up his boasts (see the timidity of his lawyers lately). He won't publicly concede and will claim the vote was rigged to his last day, but he'll ultimately go.

Are convicted felons allowed to run for office? 😀
 
With all the court defeats and certifications starting to happen the runway for his bullshit is rapidly running out.

I know the GOP doesn't want to anger him but going through the next month like this also does not feel tenable.
