I cannot express enough how really bone-chilling it is for a woman to hear this very obviously misogynistic rants from these men .  
It, no lie, gets me extremely anxious, and even more so when I hear the audience laughing and applauding it.

 I find myself feeling like I want to scream.

Vance converted to Catholicism a few years ago under the guidance of a very extreme sect of Catholics, Opus Dei.

Five more days for me. Almost 67 and hoping SS plus some investments cover me. Both my parents lived well into their nineties.

SMH. McConnell has been part of the problem and was a strong ally of Drumpf's. I wouldn't be surprised if he still votes for him in 2 months. I lost respect for people like him and Graham when they turned around and became his staunchest supporters.

He will absolutely vote for him because he’s an invertebrate.

Drumpf has already said things that suggest that he'll pat women and girls on the head and say 'there, there, you're safe now.' Um, no.

Patting them on the head? Isn't that what they've accused Biden of doing and calling it fondling?

Yes, and sniffing kids' hair, too.

It's mainly the attitude... that women are oversized children who of course need the guidance and firm but calming discipline from men. It doesn't always mean literally patting them on the head, though that's a stereotypical dismissive gesture that's seen with children.

TBH it's best to keep your hands to yourself with people you don't know very well.

  Quote

As extra safety measures are put into place to prepare for Inauguration Day, a piece of art satirically “honoring” the Jan. 6 riots appeared in front of the U.S. Capitol building Thursday.

A statue of a desk, complete with an office phone, folders and nameplate with Rep. Nancy Pelosi’s name on it, was set up at 3rd Street NW, across from the Capitol. The desk was topped off with a larger-than-life, perfectly swirled poop.

A plaque on the pedestal below the desk reads, “This memorial honors the brave men and women who broke into the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021 to loot, urinate and defecate throughout those hallowed halls in order to overturn an election. President Trump celebrates these heroes of January 6th as ‘unbelievable patriots’ and ‘warriors.’ This monument stands as a testament to their daring sacrifice and lasting legacy.”

I wasn't sure the right place to put this but....

does the thought of Amazon becoming a health care provider make anyone else nervous?

Expand  

Absolutely...Although not as much as the thought of Kennedy being in charge of all the health related agencies.

Shriek! 

Honestly I think it's best for the Kennedys in general to stay out of the limelight for a while, no matter who they support.

MAGA owns the county now and there is no turning back.  Trump will die or become incapicitated during his presidency and Vance will take over and will be viewed favorably.  if the economy does not tank over the next four years, Vance will get eleced in 2028.

Say what you will about the Reagan era...they at least had an ear to the ground to being a governing majority.   I think that will be this admin's undoing.   I wish I were more confident than that.

Reagan also had to work with the Democrats more (ie. perpetual D House at the time), which is a differentiator....

Having said that, Trump's margin in the house very well could be smaller than what the Rs had in this past Congress.... which is going to cause a lot of headaches and (probably) limits a lot of what he's going to legislatively. Maybe will have some success on tax policy, but things like ACA repeal or an abortion ban are off the table most likely.

And the other thing feature that people forget about American politics is thermostatic reaction: Presidents are inaugurated, start to implement what they campaigned on, and public opinion often time flips on these very same issues. Trump himself isn't immune to it, it happened to him in Round 1 (which led a 40 seat loss in the House that time). Nobody should be surprised if it happens again.

I appreciate your opimism, but Trump attempted a coup against the United States of America and the majority of the country is fine with that.  It's not going to be easy to get back to any kind of normalcy and I don't think the country cares.

I'm not anymore optimistic than you are, to be honest.... but I'm also not going to pretend that trends that have existed in every single election cycle (ie. President gets elected, starts to implement agenda, public sours on them) don't actually exist. And that it didn't already happen to Trump once lol

Yes, people will start hating Trump again for various reasons, but fewer and fewer people will believe or care that he is a lawless person who attemped a coup and admires dictators. Eventually, people who think those things will be considered leftist freaks who just can't let go.
